    50 Hour: Early or late?

    I'm going to be at about 35 hours on my new machine heading into the NH winter. Thats 15 hours short of my 50 hour maintenance. I could easilly put 15 hours of snowblowing in during the winter but since I dont have a nice heated garage, dread the idea of doing the service out in the freezing...

    Is there a single "best" thread for lightbars and installation?

    I'm looking to add a light bar to by BX1880 for snowblowing. There are a number of threads but I was wondering if there was a well-documented tutorial on this process? It seems most tie into an existing electrical line vs utilizing something like the 12V plug. It may just be that my search-fu...

    Cheaper Bolt on hook option for BX tractors?

    I keep thinking...my FEL can only lift ~750 and curl in the ~1250 range...why do I need big beefy bolt on hooks at a price of ~$40-50 each just to add a hook that can handle a half ton lifting capacity? I am shocked there are not options for less beefy hooks available at cheaper prices. We're...

    Has anyone made a 3 point ballast that doubles as a lawn roller?

    I just got a BX and I already know I'll need rear ballast of some type. In thinking between building or just buying a box, I started seeing cheap "barrel ballast" builds where people fill barrels with concrete with a bar through it for attachment to the hitch. This got me thinking about all...

    Source for WSMs online?

    Probably not a kosher question but I neglected to negotiate for the service manual with my tractor purchase. I would like a copy of the service manual for my tractor. Its a BX 1880. Short of ponying up and paying for one, have people found PDF versions of these online anyplace?

    Quick Attach FEL+Blade or Blower

    Hi, In researching the 1880 I now see the QA option for the bucket. This is awesome as I can get forks later easy. I then noticed that Kubtoa now offers a 60" snow plow that mounts to the Quick attach FEL arms...this seems a big advantage over the plow blade that uses the quick hitch since I...
