I've got a front mount blower on my bx, no way I'd go for a rear blower. It takes me some time to swap out the loader, but I only do once each spring and once each fall. I run a blade on the 3 point all winter so while I'd like to have my loader at times in the winter for snow removal the...

YES treat your fuel. Mine gelled up yesterday. It was not fun.

I've got a BX2370, so similar size machine. I've got a front snow blower and turf tires (no chains). I also use a 3 point blade. My driveway is pretty flat, but have cleared some of the more sloped areas of my yard (path to propane tank for example). I've had no problems with traction in...

I have a KK hitch receiver (no weight bracket) and wish I'd known about the Heavy Hitch when I got it. I've got a couple HH implements and they are built solid. They are not cheep, but steel is not cheep and I think HH is well worth the price. In reality I've been thinking about selling my KK...

I use a 5 ft blade on my 2370. I keep the blade on all winter, and a blower on the front. Light snow falls works good, also nice for cleaning up ice that builds up over the winter. In heavier snow falls it grabs the blade, and can suck the tractor right off the driveway. In heaver snow when...

I've been tempted by these: https://r2manufacturing.com/products/edge-tamer I'd have gotten them but I don't use my loader during the winter, so not much loader work on the driveway.

Probably a bit more permanent than you were planning (and more expensive) but VersaTube buildings are interesting to me. I was looking at building one for my aunt, the price was a bit much for her but I'm thinking of building on for a garage some day.

I mow at just shy of full throttle. I find I get a better cut at higher speed. I've tried to mow with the peddle on the floor but either the bumps make me feel like my spine is going to break or there are obstacles so I've got to slow down quite a bit.

A tooth bar and grapple (even one with a rake like the EA grapple) do different things. A tooth bar is really about making your bucket better at digging. The teeth act like little fingers that help break apart the soil as you start putting the edge into the soil. A tooth bar will help with...

Yes it will compact better but it will also get muddier and softer when wet. I recommend the 3/4 -

For me I've got a set of 3M Worktunes Bluetooth heating protection. I use them for more than just tractor time but also workshop time. It also does let me answer phone calls without getting my phone from my pocket but I need to shut down so the other person can hear me over the tractor...

All my Landpride implements are tan. Even the tiller I had to get ordered. I'm not worried about it.

I don't really know my neighbors, which is one of the reasons I moved out of the city. If I had a way to move my equipment (trailer is on the wish list) friends and some of my mom's neighbors would get help (not loan). My mom's neighbors who get help are those who help her when I'm not arround...

Yep the mower works all the way up, with the weather we've had I've got areas that are too tall to cut in one pass. (I'm almost thinking the way this year is going I need a hay mower for my lawn...) I'll take two passes, one all the way up and one where I want it. I usually start my mower...

One thing the guy's at heavy hitch warned me about when I got mine is that it puts a LOT of stress on the hitch receiver. They build their stuff for ground engagement. I've got a King Kutter and it has held up well in my rock filled heavy clay. Honestly I don't think my BX has enough...
