I'll try this tonight...thanks for the tip!

I finally talked the boss into letting me buy a rear blade for the B2920. I got a deal on a 6' LandPride HD blade. I've noticed that I'm adjusting the turnbuckle on the lift arm to level the blade when angled. But when I swing the blade to angle the opposite direction, it isn't level any more. I...

Bazinga...that makes perfect sense...wish I thought of that first.

I need to add some rear weight to my B2920. It sounds like the common (safe) choices are beet juice or poly-glycol anti-freeze (pink non-toxic stuff). I was wondering if motor oil or hydraulic fluid would work. It must certainly be heavier than beet juice and would actually help stop rusting. I...

In the snow, my R4's have been working like a champ without chains.

The top end BX's are mighty powerful for their size. I went with a B2920 because I wanted the extra weight, but the BX2670 will hold it's own with my B2920. I think the only time you run into problems would be pulling sub-terrain implements or push heavy stuff...rocks, dirt, etc. and it's plenty...

We've had about 3 snowfalls...each about 1" total. I plowed it anyway each time. :D

I don't know about the BX, but my B2920 runs forward in float just fine. Keep in mind I'm pushing snow on blacktop. If I tried that on gravel, I'm sure it'd be a different story. Also, bucket position has a lot to do with how much "grab" you get in the front end. After a couple hours, you'll...

HP isn't the problem; I didn't mean the tractor bogging down...I meant losing traction. I only have the FEL on it, no weights, no ballast. The tires are R4's without chains. I'm glad to hear positives on the 29HP and 6' blade size for snow. I certainly wouldn't go any larger, but I'd really...

What's the going recommendation for a 3pt rear blade width for a B2920? I'm guessing 5', but I don't know if it will still be wider than tire track width when angled. It'll be mainly used for snow. I would feel better with a larger blade, but I don't want to be constantly bogged down if I go...

Similar thing almost happened to me. Travelling over some rough ground the QC pin must've vibrated the small pin out of the little hole it is supposed to sit in. I didn't notice it right away. I put the bucket down to back-drag some gravel, the pin came loose and the right side of the FEL popped...

I have a pole saw that I use once a year. Any branch within reach gets whacked. The wife thinks I'm a maniac, I think of it as preventative maintenance.

I skipped a few pages of posts, but I'm guessing this conversation didn't go as Christopher planned?

I center-punched my barn with the FEL. :mad: Dragging the dry lot with a chain harrow and a 500 lb. log strapped on top of it. While turning left in front of the barn, the harrow grabbed and the front of the tractor swung right about 10"...enough to allow the FEL to tear a nice gash into the...

Just watched some videos on youtube of this contraption in action and I think that may be the ticket! Prices for a new one are a little steep...I'll be on the lookout for a used one.

Seems like I may need something pretty aggressive. This weekend I strapped a 400lb log on top of the chain harrow. After several passes, it broke up about 1.5-2" of lime. I'm guessing this dry lot has been around a while and is packed harder than I initially thought. If 500lbs on a harrow won't...

Thanks for the input. I should clarify: I'm using a 4' x 5' HEAVY (100lb.) chain harrow on the most aggressive setting. Last time I ran it, I had SIX 40-50lb. bags of salt strapped to it. Part of my problem is the dry lot is mostly just ag lime which the horses pound into a concrete-like...

I need something to help condition a dry lot for horses. I'm currently using a chain drag harrow, but it just doesn't "bite" into packed dirt and ag lime enough (not to mention its a hassle because I can't back up or raise the implement for transport). I was originally looking at cultivators or...

What type of diesel? I know you said you drained the system and blew out the lines, but is there any chance of growth inside the tank or lines that could re-plug the line? Is there foaming in the tank at the 15-30 min mark?

I've always used my left foot. It'd be nice if there was a way to lock it temporarily. Along those lines. I have a B2920 that came with diff brakes. I've never had a reason to use L/R only braking, but how would one accomplish that with a HST?
