    Use of front bucket to raise front wheels of BX2350

    I want/need to install some front wheel chains on my BX2350; I was wondering if using the front bucket to raise the front of the tractor to put cement blocks under the front of the frame is a stupid or dangerous idea?

    Chains for front wheels on 4WD BX 2350 ?

    I was thinking of adding snow chains to the front wheels of my BX 2350; I already have chains on the rear wheels year - round, and thought it would be a good idea for the front wheels to have them too. Good idea? If not, please indicate why not; if a good idea, where would be the best place...

    BX2350: just installed a Kubota Engine Block heater; how long can I leave it on without burning the element?

    Interesting,., that's what the repair tech also told me make sure the fluid level is at the top of the radiator, and he showed me how to squeeze the outlet from the radiator to test the heat..... Thanks for the info.

    Thank you everybody for responding... I'm going to go with 1 hour, feeling the hose from the radiator and go on the safe side... it's an old tractor and don't want any more repair bills...

    Tractor will not start today (BX2350, approx 16 years old)

    Well... sort of good news; It started a few minutes ago... there is a vertical lever that is right next to the lever that controls the speed... it was positioned up, so I pushed it down, and the engine started immediately! The other half of this problem is the key will NOT turn the engine OFF...
