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

    You can eventually find whatever you are looking for on either Craiglist or Facebook Marketplace. I found a practically new snowblower for the front of mine about 2k less than new. Takes patience and constant checking. Then jumping when the price is right. Good price on that 2680. Don't...

    CMP dethatcher

    I don't know what you are trying to dethatch, but I bought a used 40 inch JD dethatcher, for 100 dollars. This dethatchers and most new JD dethatchers have the ability to add 8 inches to each side. I added just 8 inches to one side, giving me a full 48 inches. If you were to add 8 to the...

    Progress in the new house

    Good show.. I built those all over my garage, so I can get items off the floor and on shelves. Put a couple of heavy things in the middle of shelves to support things on the ends. Smart move.

    Time to test the Toothbar

    I purchase that toothbar last winter for my BX1880. This spring it turned my BX into a little monster. Surprising how much more I can do with it. I can put it on and off in minutes. It will do more than I ever expected after using the standard blade on the bucket. I have been waiting for...

    Anyone here own a boat, or know a lot about boats?

    Anodes are usually placed on most boats regardless of whether they are one the outboard motor. I had a 29 foot lobster boat where I had an zinc anode on the propeller shaft, and other one outside water cooling pipes. I have also had them on the outboard of all the smaller boats that had...

    Added an SAE power port

    I did exactly the same thing last year with the same SAE port. I not only added one on my BX tractor I also put on on my Polaris Ranger to maintain the battery during cold winter months. Good Job.

    Pole saws

    If you have a battery platform like Stihl, Makita, Milwaukee, then you want to stick with one of those. i have several and those are Greenworks 60v, Makita 18v, Kobalt 24v, and a cheapo HF Bauer. I decided to go with the Greenworks 60v platform simply because of tool, and battery cost. The...

    Bought 5Eleven radiator guards…not having a good time…

    When I drill metal, I use the slowest speed my drill press, or hand drill can go.

    Bought 5Eleven radiator guards…not having a good time…

    I have found out that everything I try to drill on my Kubota tractor has steel made from kryptonite. i like you have broken many bits, and spent a lot of time. I do suggest a good cutting oil, as that does help and speed up the job.

    Anyone here own a boat, or know a lot about boats?

    I do know a lot about boats. I have owned about 6 bass boats, a 24 ft Grady white, and a 33 ft Young Brothers commercial boat. It is easy to get swayed by the inboard outboard, but it is a poor choice. They are a bear to work on, and if it goes bad it is a horror to replace. If you are...

    advise on shed roof trusses diy

    I purchased a 12x16 ft shed a few years ago, and it had trusses like the ones in the first pic. I immediately notice that the center of the roof was already starting to bow down. Checking the trusses, I could tell they were installed very cheaply. I decided to beef up the trusses myself, with...

    Pole saws

    I also have the Greenworks 60v platorm and have the polesaw, blower and trimmer for around bushes and low grass. It works remarkably well with plenty of power. I don't think my Stihl can take limbs off as fast as the polesaw does. Most of my gas tools are Stihl, and electric either Kobalt...

    Moving rotary cutter around. Dolly?

    I bought 4 of those Harbor Freight dollies, for $14 each. Then I took the wheels off and built dolly's the size I needed for my mid mount mower, and snowblower. Cheapest wheels anywhere, and they work great. I still have left over for whatever.

    Kubota flat faced couplers

    Thanks for the info... I have not been using gloves, or eyewear, but will from now on. I will have to find a hydraulic shop. Maybe NAPA will do it.
