    Working in brush like you are you need to get a skid plate from Bxexpanded. they are 189.00 and worth every penny. I found out the hard way. A stick took out all the blades on my hst fan and it is a horrible job to to replace it. The little plate that comes on the bx23s does not protect that...

    Air filter BX2230

    I’ve been using two the entire time I have owned it. After every day’s use I pull the outer filter and knock the dust out of it by thumping it on the tire. I learned that when I was a logger.

    A rant

    Snow Blower Gravel Bar

    I have my shoes being fabricated at this time. They are going to be about 4" wide. I also cut a piece of pvc pipe that I put over the cutting edge. I'm tired of throwing gravel all over our pasture. Don't know yet if this will work but it sure can't hurt.

    Need chains for R4 industrial tires on a BX23S...

    I got chains for both the back and front wheels on my BX23S. I used them once and haven't used them since. We get a lot of snow and have an uphill grade to our home. I have blown 1 and 1/2 feet of snow with no problems at all. Now watch, after saying that I will have problems this winter.

    Does it matter what brand box scraper/box blade I get for my BX23S?

    I have several different brands of implements for my BX23S. The other brands a less money and do the same job. I also have a quick hitch and it makes changing the implements a breeze. It is so simple to just back up to a different implement lift it up, lock it down and it's done. The quick...

    Damn! I feel like a newby.

    Air filter cleaning. A couple of questions

    When I worked as a logger we took the air filters out of all the equipment daily. We just would knock the dust out by hitting the equipment with it. Thump, thump, thump and when the dust quit coming out we put it back in. This is what I do daily now with the tractor. When it dry and dusty a...
