    Hooks on a bx bucket

    Nice looking welds! Did you not use the backer plate? I have a set of hooks and backers that have been sitting In my garage forever but my BXPanded have done just fine once I got them set up properly. What’s the US forest service for?

    B2650 with BH77 Backhoe losing power on backhoe arm function

    Check you linkages. Particularly at the joystick. My guess is that it’s a loose bolt rather than hydraulic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Chipper/shredders opinions...

    That’s why implements are sized to HP... Too big an implement on too small a tractor... you can definitely break something. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Height Anti Scalp Wheels - Irritated

    2 is definitely too short. I run mine at 3.25. For me, anything less than 3 is a guaranteed scalp. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Tooth bar and tiller

    +1 for the piranha tooth bar. I have a Land Pride RTR0550 that I bought off craigslist, and I’ve been very happy with it. I wanted one from everythingattchments but the wait was more than I could handle. I do have a grapple and box blade from them, and they have served me well. When choosing a...

    Lift capacity of BH77 Backhoe

    Be very careful... BHs are not designed to lift... Uneven ground and you can twist something badly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    3 pt implement taking off and putting on

    I just installed and used my Pat’s Easy Change today. Made hooking up my tiller 100x easier. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    BX25D slow speed and lack of HST power

    Did you mean to say low range? High rpms, but low range gear will get me up just about anything. High range will bog down when the going get tough. My driveway has settled quite a bit, and sometimes I have to switch to low range just to get over the hump into my garage. Sent from my iPhone...

    Almost a real backhoe

    Same here. Just be careful of any slope at all. Almost crapped my pants once... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    BX25D slow speed and lack of HST power

    What is your throttle at? Does it climb fine in low gear? What is your altitude? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    3 pt implement taking off and putting on

    Dollies are a great suggestion. Just a couple inches “off square” can result in hours of frustration with heavier implements. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    3 pt implement taking off and putting on

    PTO driven implements are a PITA, but videos do help, and you do get better with practice. Well, at least until the end of the season, then it seems the learning curve starts over next year. Hooking up my tiller SUCKS. It’s heavy and getting the PTO shaft seated always gives me a hard time. I...

    Drilling holes in ROPS a bad idea - safety / warranty

    Clickbond products are made for exactly this application and far better than JB Weld. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Loader Bucket in Float

    Yes... the lack of trip springs on a bucket makes it a less than ideal tool for the job. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Loader Bucket in Float

    I’ve never had any success with float when plowing, and I’ve been plowing snow for 20 years. Personally, I rely on feel and sound. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Do all 2019 BX tractors have them ?

    Looks like you can order a BX without a loader valve. My guess is that the frame supports are still there, but adding the loader valve would likely be way more expensive than buying it up front. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    BH77 Backhoe storage care

    Ugh. Didn’t know that. Chrome is pretty terrible stuff in harsh environments. Once it flakes off even a little bit, it’s all down hill from there. [chromed trailer balls are a great example... one use and chrome is donezo]. So what’s your recommendation for taking care of the cylinders...

    Paste wax (for woodworking) is actually a pretty good protectant for metal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
