Been using them for close to 10 years. Burn about 5 or 6 ton/season. Last year was tough - used 6.5 tons, but only burned 14 gallons of fuel oil. As usual, had 5 ton home early, but its not going to do it this year. Nobody has them, and they've been in short supply since November. Might...

Wanted one for a while. Not sure why now, but do know they have lotsa uses that I'm now going to learn. (Better than the BZZZ test with your fingers:p) Done quite a bit of home, auto wiring over the years. Now that I got one, realized I know a lot less than my wife I thought I did.:eek: I...

Grills were invented so men could cook outdoors and MAYBE have an adult beverage (or 2).:D Labor Day weekend means cookouts here! Roasting a split turkey on the grill today. Split it with my reciprocating saw and (new) demolition blade. DO NOT EVER use a Stihl 046 Magnum chainsaw for...

It's a hassle being left-handed. I'm also 6'4". Seems like I can't get anything that fits locally. I always try my locally-owned folks first, but even the chain places don't carry the stuff I need. Bought a new handgun a while back. Had a hard time finding a decent semi-auto that works for...

Posted this pic on another thread. King Kutter BB48-XB-0. Bought for $325 used yesterday, but all appears straight and right. Even Kubota Orange! I've seen these new on the internet now from $494 to almost $1,000. Not sure I'm looking at same models in all instances. 4 shanks in good...

First winter with the diesel. Been as low as -20 this season. Ran tractor at -8 couple weeks to run snowblower. 15-40 is just not cutting it for me. I do run it for 15 minutes before working it, but first few minutes make it work. Synthetic we go! Thinkin' 5-40 before next winter.

Like Old Cars? We all have interests beyond orange tractors. One of mine is old cars. I'm from the Muscle Car era, after all.:D While I don't have an old car right now (Harley in the garage, and 2 kids at Cornell University), I've been a part of this non-profit corporation for many years. I...

Guys - Been looking at your great ideas for work lights. Does the auxiliary wiring to the left of the PTO switch with the lights? I found them, and the wiring diagram looks like they come off the tail lights. I'm not smart enough to post the electric diagram!

Mower deck is off, so we head toward winter mode. Got it done yesterday. Dumped the trans, front axle, motor oil (also done at 22 hours). SUDT2, Rotella 15-40, Kubota filters. Bolts, air filter, etc. checked. Chains are on, and did last mowing with them on. My BX2360 was "new" in April...

Guys- I'm sure covered here before, but I intend to run rear tire chains on BX2360 this winter, running front mount snowblower. I don't have wheel spacers. Looks a little tight around the tire. I've run chains on my "green" one before OK, but might have had a little more room. I didn't get...

Guys - need a prognosis. I've bitched and moaned here about greasing the MMM on my new tractor...wait for it...wait...you probably know where we're going..... Saw black dust near left MMM spindle today. Not much - I hose tractor off after each use. Obviously that one has taken no grease -...

Got my BX2360 this spring. Been mowing all summer, without the loader. Had the loader on/off 4 or 5 times since I had it. Put it on tonight in 8 minutes from the time I pulled up to it. Hoses, stand folded, etc. all done. Don't think I've farted around putting it on more than 15 minutes, and...

Any Chevy guys snapping the deals on 2013's? I didn't plan to trade, and am not a big fan of "new" models, which my '07 was, but couldn't pass that deal up back then. I just had a call from my local Chevy dealer, and be damned if I can pass up a trade of this truck to a '13 extended cab Z-71...

Did first engine oil/filter at 22 hours. My first diesel, but having a Harley, I know the oil looks worse, and takes a beating, on those engines (Harley oil should be diesel approved). I like to get that break-in oil out sooner than later. Went with Shell Rotella 15-40, but Kubota filter...

I'm new to the forum and the life of Orange. Was a "Green" lawn and garden guy for many years (JD 425 with many attachments). As a farm kid, was around tractors for years, but that was years ago. Got a new BX2360/LA243 FEL that I'm loving thus far. I just bought those bucket hooks from...
