    BX1870-1 Block Heater

    I installed a block heater on the front of my older BX1800, plenty of room. Must be a design change?

    is my tractor now scrap metal?

    What Steve said. I use 911 as it's available pretty much everywhere. I was concerned when I got fuel last year and it was no longer blue tinted. Found out it's low sulfer and additives are highly recommended for older diesels. I use it with my 2003 Bx.

    Trailer hitch Ball

    I made this one myself. It stays on the 3pt unless I need it for the ballast or rotary mower. So handy to just back up to a trailer, drop the 3 point, back under the coupler and raise it. All from sitting down.

    Worth converting a snow plow to fit a BX?

    Thanks all. After reading your comments and thinking about it. I've put it up for sale. I would have more work than I have time for on something that would get used very little. Thanks! Edit: sold the plow yesterday.

    Worth converting a snow plow to fit a BX?

    I picked up a 6.5 foot Meyers snowplow. I already have a snowblower for the lil 'bota. Would it be worth fabricating mounts for either my front quick mount or the 3pt? Debating if I would really use it.....

    Berco Soft Cab for BX

    I have a soft cab on mine, Original Tractor Cab. It definately helps keep the snow and wind off! Glad I got it. As for the engine cooling fan, I was wondering what to do. So far, I have done nothing as it helps suck any moisture from my breathe away from frosting up the windows. I saw somewhere...

    Folding ROPS

    The rope on my bx1800 does not fold. I had no problem getting it into my shelter logic shed that I put up this summer. I installed the cab for the winter with lights on top. Well, the roof alone is taller than the rops and wouldn't fit let alone with the lights. I was ended up raising the shed...

    Chevy or Dodge???

    They ALL have issues, non of them are perfect. Pick the one you like and enjoy!! I drive a 97 gmc, my jeep cj has a chevy tbi 5.7 and I also have a corvair. Prior to the gmc, I had an 01 ram with power windows, locks, a/c and a 5sp manual. I loved and miss that truck. My dad never had good luck...

    anybody with bx1870 wish they had bigger?

    The bx is hyd drive. Depending on how much you push the forward peddle determines how fast you go. Like driving a car, you don't always have your foot to the floor. And you can do slight adjustments with engine speed also. I've never had an issue mowing.

    anybody with bx1870 wish they had bigger?

    Been very pleased with my 1800. Mows great. Fel is good and VERY handy. Never a problem snowblowing, I did most of the driveways on my street last year. :) 42" rotary mower works effortlessly. With that said, get the biggest you can afford.

    Engine block heater

    I was just wondering about this myself. I plan on getting an outlet timer. Set it to turn on the heater an hour or so before I get up. The timer will turn it on, I won't have to get up early or go out to plug it in.

    No matter what size tractor you get, you will always want bigger. ;)

    When did the BX go plastic??

    I have a 2003 BX 1800. Metal hood, deck(rear body/fenders), everything except grille. I was at my Boss' house and he has an 09 BX1860. It is all plastic body panels. The deck where you step broke early on, covered under warranty. The hood side panels are broke. When did they switch to plastic...

    BX front snowblower price

    From last year. :) Only problem I had with my old blower was when a brick that I did not know was in the snow, got caught in the auger and broke a sheer. Like it's supposed to. :) I've been pleased with the older one, I'll have to swing by the dealer at some point and take a look at the new.

    installing a block heater on a BX25D for winter

    My early BX uses a freeze plug at the front of the engine, behind the muffler. I purchased one for about $40 about a year ago and did not install until last month. I used it for the first time today, plugged it in for half an hour and than started it. Fired right up! Just like it was 80 degrees out.
