    I must have dreamed it then.

    Sickle mower

    Finally got my mower today. Took 4 weeks but I’ve got it now and I think I’m going to really like it. I used it most of the afternoon today and it works really well on my BX2380. I got the 5’ bar with manual lift. It will do all I’m planning to do with it. Brand name is “enrossi”

    Sickle mower

    I guessI I’ll find out first hand. I talked to my dealer and he called the distributor who said it would work, so I ordered one. I ordered the smallest one they make. It has a 5ft. bar and doesn’t require any hyd hookups. I mowed for the state for several years so I do have some knowledge about...

    Sickle mower

    I guess I’ll have to jump in blind. I thought maybe someone might have some insight on one.

    Hyd oil

    Thanks all. I asked the dealer this question when I bought a filter and he couldn’t answer my question. I don’t think he was the regular parts man. Anyway I knew I could rely on someone here, Thanks again.

    Hyd oil

    How much hyd oil will I lose changing the filter on a bx2380?

    Sickle mower

    I worked for MODOT for 25 years and operated a sickle mower for at least 10 of those years so I’m well acquainted with sickle mowers. I just want something to mow weeds along side of rural roads. Or at least something offset to mow those places.

    Sickle mower

    I have a BX2380 and I would like to purchase a sickle mower with a 5 or 6 foot bar. Are there any available at a reasonable price? I can’t justify 3 or 4 thousand dollars because I wouldn’t use it all that much. Also would I need to add some hyd hookups to my tractor?

    Drive it or trailer it?

    No way would I drive my tractor over 2 miles or so. That is the reason I spent many dollars on a new trailer. I feel a lot safer in my truck.

    BX with Tiller

    I have been thinking about removing the skids on mine but haven’t yet. I’ll probably do that and see how it does. Shouldn’t hurt to try.

    BX with Tiller

    I have a BX2380 and a 48” King Kutter forward rotating tiller. It does a great job tilling but doesn’t go very deep. Not sure it would have enough power to go much deeper. I use mine mainly to till gardens, mine & several others.

    Short PTO extension for those with Quick Hitch or Pat's Easy change

    Now that one looks like it might work on my BX.

    Short PTO extension for those with Quick Hitch or Pat's Easy change

    Not sure about your L2501 but this will not work on aBX2380 because the PTO shaft is too short. I bought one and it will not engage the locking balls before it hits the back of the tractor. The one from Tractor Supply might fit but as you say there is no hole in the PTO. I too am still looking...

    What’s Your Pucker Factor?

    I mowed right-a-ways for Modot in northern Missouri for over 10 years with a Massy Ferguson 245 but I wouldn’t start to put my BX in places that I mowed then. It is a lot more tipsy than the Massy. And my pucker factor just ain’t the same these days.
