    Mud-go fast or go slow?

    Thanks for the replies (except for BigG's calculation of the time it's going to take :)). Some good tips in here. My plan is to get a forestry mulcher in to take care of the larger brushy areas (that are dry but 100% full of brambles and grinding through that is painful) and flail away at the...

    Mud-go fast or go slow?

    Hey all, New to tractoring and for sure new to doing it in the mud. As i am clearing a field (85 acres) with a flail mower, and there is thick clay mud under the grass. Don't want t get super stuck way in the back of the property where i cannot get to with my truck. To not get stuck, is it...

    Pto direction

    Thanks for the replies. On the bx2380, the turnbuckles attach to the tractor with a shackle. With the implement lifted (to go over a log) and still turning, the angle brought the turnbuckle up high enough that the bolt hit the shackle. The only way i knew it was hitting it was the god-awful...

    Pto direction

    Hey all, new tractor owner here. I have a flail mower and I sheared the shear bolt. It sheared when I lifted the flail and the bolt ended up hitting part of the tractor. Can I turn the pto around and have the shear bolt at the flail mower side instead of the tractor side? The pto says which...

    Bx2380 wrong tires

    Just to close the loop on those of you eagerly waiting to see what happened.....the dealer continues to be solid and will be replacing the tires with the right ones. Says there is no damage potential. Anyway, that’s all folks. thanks for all the feedback and happy holidays to you.

    Bx2380 wrong tires

    Looking back, I was always annoyed that the mmm height didn’t match the height knob number. 4 inches on the knob was 3 inches of grass cutting height. now I know what was wrong there. Ha.

    Bx2380 wrong tires

    Thanks to all for the help. I did order a new set of R4 in the correct size already so from now on it will be right. I will also go to the dealer and talk to them this week. Prob an honest mistake.

    Bx2380 wrong tires

    Afternoon, I just realized that my bx2380 came with 24” rear and 16” front turf tires instead of the 26 and 18 that it was supposed to. Is it safe to assume that the 60 hours I have put on the bx with the smaller tires is no big deal? worried about the 4wd system. Much of those hours are in...

    FEL arm pushed in

    Guys/Gals, Update. As many of you suggested, i drove up to the FEL, connected the hydraulics and used them to sync the arms by cycling the stick all the way in and them back out. Easy peasy and no drama. And it does look like the arm he drove into pushed the one arm toward the bucket...

    FEL arm pushed in

    Thanks for all the replies and the welcome! It appears that he backed straight into the right arm and almost perfectly pushed they cylinder straight in. No leaks, no bends, just pushed it in. I think i got lucky with that. Based on the replies, looks like my best (easiest) first thing to...

    FEL arm pushed in

    Hey all, new member and new tractor owner here. I had removed the FEL from my BX2380 and had it stored in my garage. I had a contractor working in the garage and he backed his truck into one of the arms of the FEL and pushed it in about 12". No damage as far as i can tell, he pushed it...
