    Everything Attachments - Bankrupt?

    Bankruptcy filings are in Federal Court. The referenced action is in Wake County, NC, a state court. Looks like the bank is seeking repayment and is using the proceedings to obtain an injunction to preserve assets.

    Considering a BX1880

    I do not keep my BX at my home, but two of my neighbors remove snow with their subcompact loaders. Driveways are about 200 feet long. I usually finish up a half hour before they do using a Honda snowblower and a cleaner driveway to boot. If I were putting something on my tractor to move snow, I...

    dealer prices ??

    Just went through the same experience with a front tire on a BX. Shale took its toll over six years. Called Messicks and the front tire and rim was right at $100 with tax. I did not realize the R4s were directional until the Messicks rep asked me what side I needed.

    BX2380 >NEEDS a Tiller That Covers It's Tracks

    Messicks rents the Land Pride RTR0550 for sub compact tractors. The Landpride site indicates that tiller is suitable for the BX. The Landpride site also states the RTA1250 is suitable for a BX. I think I would rent one for a day before you buy to see how it performs

    I like Orange. The BX2380 is being considered.

    I use the tractor at our hunting camp and mainly do bush hogging, trail grading and do push some brush from time to time. I know the boot ripped when I ran over a short branch about an inch in diameter and two feet long. Could not see it when mowing, but saw it when it jumped a little when the...

    I like Orange. The BX2380 is being considered.

    Some people will say the spacers may have an effect on the rear axle, but based on my research I went with the two inch spacers. Safety factor outweighs possible negative effects IMO, although I have not experienced any in two years. Keep in mind this is not spacers on a vehicle, they are on a...

    I like Orange. The BX2380 is being considered.

    I put some rear wheel spacers on our BX. Makes if feel much more stable. I used the spacers made for Jeeps. Fit perfect and a lot cheaper. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M0YH8YX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 It is only a matter of time until your inner tie rod boots...

    Ford Bronco questions

    I have been following the Bronco Forum for the last few years. Actually seems like most of the issues are with the hard tops. Even the new replacement ones have experienced stress cracks and honey combing. You can hop on over there and read the multiple threads about the hard top.

    Pole saws

    If you are just using the pole saw occasionally, I would buy a battery operated one that matches the battery tools you currently own. Stihl makes great saws but their pole saws are expensive because they are made for commercial use and like to be run. I had a Craftsman pole saw attachment that...

    your best score

    Went to Tractor Supply looking for a Swisher Trailmower. They had one outside that had been there awhile. Badly faded. Price tag back then was $1,100. Asked the manager if they had any other ones. Told me he would sell me the faded one for $100. That mower provided 8 years of hard mowing at the...
