I have the R4 tires, as for the current pressure I am unsure as the beet juice has ruined my tire gages (has stuck every one I used so only check visually now). As I recall when the tires were at the suggested pressure the top of the tires were flat across. They currently have enough pressure...

I had the same problem with by BX rear tires. They are loaded with beet juice, this allowed slipping between the rim and tire at low or manual recommended air pressure. The beet juice kept the seal good enough that the tires never went flat. I kept increasing the air pressure until the slippage...

I've had them on my BX a couple of years now (approx. 500 hours) and no complaints. If I recall correctly they were an easy installation also.

I raised the rear of the tractor, taking the weight off the tires. Had to do this immediately as the core came out with the cap, spewing rimguard all over the driveway. ( I was able to save approximately half in the tire) I left the tires in place and rotated to 12 oclock position and cut off...

I had this happen on my BX with the rubber tubeless tire valve stems (OEM). I contacted Rimguard and was told these stems should have been replaced with brass stems when the tires were loaded. Rubber valve stems are for air only, liquids have a tendency to affect core/rubber vulcanization...

They are called Colby Valves. I used them on my BX rear tires for 2 years now. The package states they fit most standard valve holes ( ,453 inch). Sure was a lot easier than removing and breaking down the tire.

I had a similar problem with my BX rear tires, rim guard leaked just enough to allow the rim to slip in the tire under heavy pull. Took a while to find this slippage as the rim guard also acted as a seal enough to keep the tires from going flat. I compounded the issue when removing the valve...

I found that a length of 6 inch stove pipe and a plastic Tomcat rat trap work well, don't even need to use any bait. I place the pipe in an area the chipmunks travel, set and place the trap inside the pipe, be sure to tie (wire) the trap to something secure ( I use a piece of rebar stuck in the...

Having to load logs onto a flat trailer and stacking to max lift of my BX I made some log anti-rollback brackets . They are 3 x 3 angle iron and bolted to the side of the bucket with the fork mounting bolts (1/2 inch grade 8). I made the forks from old plow beams (they fit the bucket curve...

From your pictures and comments it appears everything is operating as designed and it is the snow/ground conditions that are the cause. I have a BX with same style blower. It has the same issue blowing heavy snow when the ground isn't frozen yet. What works for me is to muddle my way thru one...

I believe they are Kenda model K514 tires. I got them off ebay, $95each. Be sure to check the ply ratings close as they come in both 4 ply and 6 ply. I looked them up and the 6 ply is rated @ 36 psi and 1115 lb load. You may be correct that the 4 ply don't handle the load as I was moving a lot...

I had the same issue with 1 of my front tires also ( beyond warranty). Continued maintaining the air pressure and kept using it until it finally leaked too bad. The other front tire (maintained at the same psi and load use) showed no such bumps/pimples. I believe the bumps/pimples are a...

Well sir, I don't know a lot either, that's why I come to the forum to inquire and am willing to pass on whatever may have worked for me in the past. If it works for someone else, great - if it doesn't solve their current issue, no loss. Hope you are able to add your solution to the forum in the...

Bird Dogger, thanks Greensville, When I tried dragging something behind the tractor it loaded up with tree debris, leaves, etc. On my open gravel drive I use a 3 pt float I made from some scrap c channel and part of an old back blade I had laying around. (made for function not show :D) I agree...

I rake/clear numerous trails in my woods and got tired of looking back all the time to monitor the 3 pt rake. I now mount it in the loader bucket, much easier to monitor and control. I used 2 pcs of 3x3 angle iron and leave one bolted in the bucket all the time.As you see I try to follow the...

I've been following the various chute rotation mods for a while and decided to try s simple fix. I replaced the original adjustable oem crank section with a length of straight 3/8 rod. I then just chuck up my cordless drill on this new rod, worked all last winter. The hardest part was...

Last fall my Bx would hardly move forward or reverse, checked everything and could find no Hydo issues. Was reviewing the forum and found where someone had issues with the rims turning in the tires (loaded with rimguard). Sure enough, the air pressure was just low enough that rimguard had...

When I needed to lift oak beams onto a wall I adapted my 3 pt, 8 ft jib boom to mount in the loader bucket - 2 pcs of 3x3 angle iron 8 inches long. I leave one bolted in the bucket all the time, put the jib in place and install the 2nd angle. I use a chain in place of the 3rd arm. With the jib...

I did something similar, cutting an access opening as pictured. After removing the coupling bolt, I was able to slide the driveshaft forward enough to access the fan bolts. I used a 1/2bolt (3/4 inch head) to hold the coupling in place to do this. I cut the old fan and removed it. I cut the new...
