    Biobor

    GeoHorn's post was absolutely topnotch. Having spent over thirty years in the commercial nuclear power industry and adding Biobor JF to every single tanker truckload (as well as a doing a lot of diesel specific chemistry analysis) prior to them being offloaded into the Emergency Diesel Storage...

    Leaf blower

    Try blowing leaves on a couple acres with copious amounts of hardwood trees with that and let us know how well it does. (FWIW, I have both gas and battery operated handheld blowers. They're fine for blowing off the deck, patio, or the driveway, but they don't come close to cutting it on big jobs.)

    Ideas/Advice stray dogs

    I hate to shoot a dog, also, but sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do. If you have any kind of county animal control, they should be able to provide you traps free of charge to at least try to catch the offenders.

    Checking Gear box oil level FDR 1572

    When it starts running out of the large plug hole at the back, it's full.

    Thinking about under fence weed control

    It's not "poison" in the sense I took the OP's statement. That is, it's not glyphosate, 2-4d, triclopyr, etc., etc., etc. Gimme a break. You know what I meant and what the OP meant. I'm going to have an apple.

    Thinking about under fence weed control

    30% vinegar, salt, and some Dawn make an excellent weed killer. Yeah, ya gotta spray it and I don't know how well it would work on honeysuckle, but it's not poison.

    finishing mower

    According to this video, it should raise and lower with the 3pt.

    finishing mower

    Not sure what you mean by not being hydraulically controlled----does it not raise and lower with the 3 pt? In any case, rear finishing mowers (with rear discharge) are great (IMO) as long as you don't have any or only a few obstacles to mow around. Too many trees, out buildings, etc. for me to...

    BX2680 - 400 hr service questions

    I've had my BX2380 since 2017. I have no intention of replacing radiator hoses or fuel lines unless they break, which I doubt will happen. Wouldn't change them on a car or truck every four years. Ain't gonna do it on the tractor.

    Radiator Genie?

    Have had a radiator genie for several years. Rarely use the one for the hose, but use the compressed air one every single time I mow for the radiator, air filter, and blowing dust/debris out from around the mower spindles. I don't worry about psi when I use it. Turn on the compressor which is...

    Photo shoot anything lately? Random Photo Thread

    It's not every day that you see a turtle (yellow bellied slider) laying eggs in your backyard. She had to crawl through thick woods from the pond that's about 75-100 yards away. When she finished laying and had covered them up, she made her way straight back towards the pond.

    Necessary to Clean Mower Deck After Every Session?

    Your sandy soil will keep the underside of your deck clean. I've never cleaned the underside of my deck (7 years?), yet every year when I change blades there is nothing stuck or built up on the underside. I do blow off the topside with the leaf blower every time I mow and take the belt covers...

    Wingfoot2

    Air Force brat born in the early 50's. Saw military blimps all the time as a kid. Pretty much have to go to a NASCAR race to see one these days.

    Damn! I feel like a newby.

    I've taken the FEL off and put it back on several times on my 2380. It's a PITA to put back on compared to the 2370 I had. Wish Kubota had never changed the FEL mounting from what the 2370 had. Would've kept the 2370, but hated the digital dash because I could barely see it in bright sunlight...
