    BX2380 Front end loader issue

    I had a similar issue with my 2380. One side of the stand got tweaked during an on/off cycle and twisted one side. After I got it straightened (just had a little twist) I tried adjusting the bolts by the hinge point, but when it was tweaked the tip of the adjustment bolt wore down the edge of...

    Learn CPR today...

    Can also check with local EMS agency or fire department. Sometimes police/sheriff’s offices do lay person hands only CPR classes. I’ve even seen localities put them on at libraries, etc.

    Yeah, we all prefer bandaid buggy anyway.

    Learn CPR today...

    Yeah if you aren’t getting a workout you aren’t doing it right. Doing a modern class/refresher is a really good idea. Even just a little over 20 years ago CPR was still being taught as 5:1 compressions to respirations. That morphed by 2010 to 15:2, and now adult CPR is 30:2 at a minimum (some...

    Learn CPR today...

    Holy cow, great job! 100%, scream it from the hilltops, learn CPR. When seconds count EMS is minutes away……… at best.……… assuming you don’t live in the country. The first time you perform CPR is very eye opening, and the cartilage popping in the ribs makes a lot of people not even want to...

    LX2972???? Front Mount K Connect snow Blade???

    far as I know they still make them. That’s the style blade that should have gone onto my ~2020 BX, but I bought a used one from the prior model BX. There was one posted with the full assembly and K connect on here in October for $1,700. It went fast. I got my older one for the same price. Had to...

    Cost/Benefit or simply want vs need.....

    And this is how I ended up with my tractor. Father in law had a bunch of clearing/scaping to do on the back of his property, but planned to do it at his own pace (he’s pushing 70) vs. working all day every day for a couple of weeks. For the time he had available to put in on doing that work...

    Will this work? Snow plow question

    Successful test fit of the older model front quick attach. Had to drop the front of the MMM to give the pin holes space to line up because there was about a 1/8” overlap between them It’s still lacking the actual kubota T-bolts, and mounting wedges. Previous owner used a 1/4” metal plate...

    Will this work? Snow plow question

    There are zero markings on the current female couplers. Yellow and Green are attached to the lift cylinder, Red and Blue to the angle cylinder. It looks like all the hoses are the same diameter and with the same threads on both ends (bigger on cylinder end), but the angle hoses are longer...

    Will this work? Snow plow question

    By ”if 4-way” I assume you mean up/down/left/right? Yes, two double action cylinders. Will finding numbers on the current couplers or hoses give me that info? I know some hoses and couplers have different pitch threads, and don’t want to screw them up.

    Will this work? Snow plow question

    Real quick followup. Picked up the blade and mount the other day. I have lots of time to get it ready, but about to order parts/pieces. Really just need the wedges/bolts, and the couplers swapped. For the couplers I just need female 1/4” flat face NPT to hook to the FEL block on the bx2380...

    Will this work? Snow plow question

    totally agree. Snow means different things in different places. Where we are mid Atlantic we normally get a couple of falls of a foot or less. Generally not wet and heavy (at least until it starts to melt), but also not just powder. maybe once every ten years we get a 3-4’ fall in a single...

    Will this work? Snow plow question

    Thanks. The posts I found on tractor by net included people trading in older models while they owned these QA and plow models, then doing a test on a floor model new 80 series and it working fine. The original price was $2,000. Dropped down to $1,700 last night. Me thinks I’m sending them a...

    And here’s a pic from a different forum on a 23s. User said it just slipped over the drone and locked on with nothing else required.
