Always a slight risk that somebody before you had some junk in their system, you hope their filters caught the worst. It is not a big concern for me but if I borrow our rent hyd implements I change hyd oil early.

I have been running a cyclone rake on my 1870 for 3 seasons and love it. How has yours held up mechanically for as long as you had yours?

I have the commercial pro on my 1870 and it works great. It will get a little light on the steering as it gets full but nothing I can’t deal with. It does get heavy to dump when full so I will sometimes dump early. I was always set on buying a trac vac but all the used ones always have duct tape...

If I only had one implement it would be the box blade. I wish I would have gotten a landscape rake instead of scraper blade.

Thanks for taking the time for your input it is greatly appreciated. When the time comes I will probably start with a top link.

I received a rear remote hyd kit for my bx 1870 fo Christmas.l read a lot of guys get a hyd top link but I think hyd side link would work better for me.my implements are a 54” box blade and 60” blade. I would like input from guys that have both and what they use the most .

I would like to do the same , how are they working out for you ?

I have a 1870 with turfs ,I have no problems with snow. I bought chains and only use them in ice or snow over about 8-10". I also use the loader bucket.

Simple green

7miles up you don't want a loader you need a loader. You will realize that when you have one. I also have 1 1/2 acres and my 1870 is justified.LOL

I have a RCK 48 deck and use the stock blades to feed my cyclone rake. The only time I have trouble is heavy wet grass.

Nice job, kinda puts my icicle lights on the rain gutter to shame.

I also use a cyclone rake on my 1870 and don't find that my 3 point going up first is a problem usually when I raise my deck i am done mowing so I just put the deck in top position and lower 3 point back to normal position.

I replaced my 26 year old 310-8 wheel horse with a bx 1870 and fel and never looked back love it and don't know how I did without it .

Thanks for the input . I have three products to choose from , the hardest decision is cans or bottles for the adult beverages.

My bx is 2 years old now the underside of the mower deck is pretty much bare metal. What do other guys do to protect their decks from rotting out over time? I pull the deck and clean the underside at least 3 times a season.

I just got my BX1870 back from the dealer at 170 hrs I had a drop rate of 4.5 minutes for full travel of the arms with 30 # on. There was no question about warranty on that . seal was tore and cyl was scored . For your hours check with dealer I am unsure about acceptable drop.

Is anybody else having problems with there gearbox leaking on a RCK48P mower deck.

I got my 1870 & FEL a couple months ago, was my wife's idea, can't go wrong there..(can't figure out why I didn't get one years ago)

Thanks guys for the input. Any idea how many gallons for each tire.and should I consider chains for snow removal?
