    BX2822A 55" Commercial Snow Blower - DO NOT purchase BX2821A hydraulic deflector kit if you have a third function. Do this instead . . .

    I am actually thinking about buying the BX2821a kit. I have a BX1880 with a BX2816 snowblower. Everything works fine, but I don't like the hand crank I have on the side, and I don't like having to get of and adjust the up and down on the top of the chute. I need a little help in knowing about...

    BX Bucket edge, Piranha tooth,pro or straight? Pros and Cons of each.

    The regular Piranha is great for digging. No need for the pro version. I liked my piranha bar so much i added the straight one to my arsenal. Both will put more material in your bucket. I use the straight one when I am working around the yard to move loam etc. when i'm in the back woods on...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I installed the Green Slime in my ATV tires in 2009, and later moved the tires to a Polaris Ranger side by side. The tires show a lot of wear, but I have never had to add air to any of the 4 tires. Still on there today, and I swear by Slime.

    Billy Goat leaf blower Question

    Turns out I was making too much of this. The gearbox is only on the self propelled models, and if I had thought that out better I would have realized that. Unfortunately it is a product like I have never had, and being someone that wants my items to be fully protected with the best...

    Billy Goat leaf blower Question

    My mistake. It appears that every drain I see it for draining engine oil, and there is no gear box. I'm just going to replace engine oil with new, and not worry about it.

    Billy Goat leaf blower Question

    Yes, I know, but I have looked even with a small flashlight but can't see one. I'm expecting to see one of those small 1/2 or 3/8 screw out bolt like the gear drain plug has. Vanguard engine 14HP Mine is the 14hp Vanguard engine.

    I am sorry I didn't elaborate on which engine it is. It is the Vanguard engine. I know there has to be a drain plug there somewhere.

    Billy Goat leaf blower Question

    The other day I bought a used 14 hp Billy Goat blower, and it is in fine shape. Of course I won't be using it for awhile, as it is full time winter in Maine now. But I wanted to service it for when I will use it. I have a unique problem. I can see where the engine gear oil get filled and...

    Leaf blower tractor, 3 pt hitch.

    I had looked at this, but it was being sold by EA attachments, and to my understanding they had gone out of business, and many who had ordered got stung. I don't think this would work for me as I have a BX1880 and I don't think the PTO power is enough. I also prefer a gasoline run blower. I...

    Battery powered fuel transfer pump?

    I purchased the HF fuel transfer pump that uses 2 D cell batteries. It works fantastic, and only cost about 10 dollars. I hate lifting that 5 gallon can. If you are younger I'm sure you don't mind it, but I'm 82 now and hate it.

    BX2822A 55" Commercial Snow Blower - What is the HYDRUALIC deflector configuration WITHOUT 3rd function setup

    That is pretty simple, you have the snowblower hydraulics hooked up to the white and yellow, and the added 2818a hydraulic to the red and blue. Then it all works thru the joystick like having a front loader on.
