    Piranha toothbar questions

    You won't regret getting the Pirahna tooth bar. When you drill out the sides of your bucket you will have a paper template to use. Mark the middle of the template, so you have a little leeway for installing the bolts. The will tighten up nicely. Just hang your staight edge if you can't find...

    I actually carry some small chains in one, ropes in another, and keep sunglasses with eye protection and small tools in a third larger one, on the back.

    Piranha toothbar questions

    I am not using bucket protection when I am doing yard work. Like lying new loam and back dragging it. With the toothbar it doesn't do as good a job. Other than that I want the toothbar for digging up old stumps and small trees on my property. i also have a few piles of rocks that are over...

    Piranha toothbar questions

    I have the regular Piranha bar and regularly remove it.. i have it one when I want to do some serious work and take it off when I want to do some yard work and the Piranha would not do as good a job. EX lawn. No reason at all for the newer one IMO. Takes 2 min to put on or take off.

    Riding Mower find

    I had a Toro Snowblower years back that didn't run good. I gave it and a Echo backpack blower to a friend. He took them to a small engine repair shop, and for less 50 each had them both running perfect. He still has them and likes to rib me on how good they run... Just the carbs.

    Riding Mower find

    I have to say that is good, and you will have it running for a long time before you need to do anything to it. I always add a little Seafoam to my fuel, just to keep things running smoothly. Also I have a lot of smaller tools like everyone, Chainsaws, power washers, string trimmers, etc. I...

    Riding Mower find

    i have a John Deere x330, and it has the Briggs 20. I'm not a fan of Briggs engine, and would much more prefer the Kohler. Anyway you look at it. Even if you have to put some money into it, you will have very good mower for a long time. I like to mow with my JD better than my Kubota bx.

    Any BX grass catcher owners?

    I've had the DR leaf (9 hp) for about 6 years, and in my opinion that is the way to go. I need it not for grass but for a heavy leaf drop every fall. Between it and the mower, it makes the lawn look great. Best way to go iMO.

    BX 2680 with no Loader, but has mounts, hydraulics, and stick installed. Where to find Loader?

    When I bought a BX, I purchased it with the pin on bucket, because I saw no need for a lot of implements. I still feel the same. Shortly after I saw a QA loader for the BX with a price of $2,900. I almost bought it for convenience, not intelligence. It was within 20 miles of my home.

    BX 2680 with no Loader, but has mounts, hydraulics, and stick installed. Where to find Loader?

    That is incorrect. If he purchases a BX2816, with attachment, it will hook up to his 2380 just fine.

    Any BX grass catcher owners?

    I entertained the idea of one, until I checked out the cost. I decided I will sell my MMM, and keep my JD riding mower. I like mowing with the JD just fine. I don't have much mowing to do anyway. I have a DR leaf vac, that I used during the fall, and that is all set up for the JD. Changing...

    Pros and cons of snow removal options

    I also live in Maine, (Western foothills). I get a lot more snow than towns just 15 miles south of me. My driveway is all blacktop and wide, about 300 foot long. A top of the line Honda snowblower did the trick through the 2008 storm until 2013, when I put a snowplow on my tundra. That...

    I installed these 2 inch spacers on the back of my BX1880. The installation went as expected without any problems. Surprising how much more stable my little tractor is now.

    Rubber Floor Mats Stink

    As Per the Herculiner. i certainly wouldn't want to purchase an amount that would do my truck bed. I see they have spray 15 oz cans. Just curious if that would be enough, and is it as good as the normal Herculiner kit. Any links to Hawk67.

    JU FabWorks B and L Tiedown Brackets

    I ordered them for the front and back of my tractor, and was blown away at the quality. I installed them last fall, and they are just great. No way anyone would be disappointed with these.

    New 4 in 1 Bucket Paint Damage

    When I bought my used tractor, i had blemishs that I wanted to fix. I have found that the Rustoleum spray is very close to the Kubota color. The spray isn't as durable as the quart can. You can get the quart cans on the internet, in bundles of 2 qts, for less that $20 bucks. It is much more...
