    My Auzzie friends

    Might look into mental health statistics, too. I know it's not what you asked for, but it's the real problem. Mass shootings always will come up, and that is a mental health issue as far as I'm concerned. America seems to have serious problems with mental health / drugs (often connected) to...

    To Ballast or not to Ballast-That is The Question

    The further back the weight is, the more effective also. So its not really 1:1 I use my bb and my tires are loaded with rimguard. If I ever need more I plan on welding pipe on the bb vertically to drop olympic style weights on. You can usually get a decent deal on them at garage sales if you...

    Turfs are useless to me

    Mark the tire and the ground, then roll it one revolution and measure the distance traveled. It would be best to remover the wheel from the tractor. Then remember the roll out on an un mounted tire may differ from mounted. Then you can calculate the distance into height. Easier to get an...

    Turfs are useless to me

    Vehicle tires can vary in height from manufacturer, style, model, etc, that's why the height was mentioned. 31" doesn't always mean 31". If you measure the roll out on your current tires you will know better what you need & some tire shops will let you look around and measure tires. But if you...

    BX or B?

    Never moved snow with the bx. For your driveway you'll want a box blade or at least a rear blade anyway, and they work better for snow removal on gravel for me. The 1/4" valve is horrible. Both my BX & my B2320 have them and even after getting used to them position control is still easier to...

    BX or B?

    I had a BX1860 for a short time, and I've had my B2320 for a few years now. If you were sticking to 2 acres, I'd say BX. But if you're looking you expand I would go with the B, especially if you're using a ZT around trees. The BX was a much more maneuverable machine for mowing with my 4 ft...

    rear remotes b2320

    Talk about a clean install........do you still have a list of everything you used on yours? When I first started thinking about doing it i thought I'd like to use a joystick control, do you like it or do you think you'd like 2 levers instead? And do you ever use the float? When I'm ready, I...

    rear remotes b2320

    Ok, that did help a lot. If anyone out there has a different way, I'd still like to see it. I won't be ready to do it for a little bit, but I like to plan ahead.

    rear remotes b2320

    I tried a lot of different terms in the search function, but never really came up with much. I'm wanting to add rear remother on my b2320. Can anyone who has done it explain how to tap into the tractors hydraulics? My other option is a selector valve, but is rather have seperate valves. The...
