Just saw an advertisement for a local dealer I follow on social media. They said prices increases starting January 1st, but didn’t say how much. Definitely a price once coming.

No idea if the price increase is true. Haven’t heard anything, but wouldn’t surprise me. There have been 3 or 4 price increases over the last year, usually each around 4%. Demand still seems pretty high, but availability seems to be leveling out. I would call a couple dealers in your area and...

Seems pretty slimy to have gone through the financing process, put cash down and then change the price. Seems like you would need to reapply for financing at that point because what if you’re not approved for the higher amount? I know when I bought my B2601 in December 2021, I went to two...

Would depend on what was done. Drilling into a bucket for hooks or a cutting edge doesn’t scare me because a bucket can be repaired or replaced pretty easily. Wiring would depend on what was done and the quality of the work. Again, that can be repaired pretty easily so that wouldn’t scare me...

Glad they corrected the issue quickly. I had a feeling they were using a jig to fabricate the parts. You would hope they would have a no-go gage or something that the welder could use to ensure the parts were made properly before shipping, but as you said, stuff happens. For a smaller...

Don’t they make quick connects for different backhoes? We’re all assuming they made a bad part. Could they have just sent you the wrong one for your tractor? I’m assuming their is some kind of part number on the part.

Getting advice from others is always difficult because everyone’s situation is different, even if they are similar. I have an acre and started off with a BX1880. After a year and a half with that, the wife wanted a chipper so we could clean up the wooded area around our house and get rid of the...

Adding them to the front doesn’t do anything for stability of the tractor as the back is your lateral tipping point. People certainly have added them to the front. But it serves no benefit. The only logic I saw was from someone who wanted to keep their wheels in line for loading on a trailer. I...

I have a B2601 with R14 tires. I have had that thing maxed out. I had a pallet with 960 lbs (plus 200 lb forks) on it of rubber mulch for my kids playset, so lots of weight far out, and a couple inches off the ground. The tires didn’t care. The turf tires are really squishy. Try the R14s if...

As others have said, when you tighten the nut down, it cuts threads into the nut which is what holds it in place. Where I work, there is a minimum breakaway torque required for nylon nuts to be reused, but they generally just get replaced, especially for rotating machinery. In this case, I...

Ok, maybe my words were a little harsh. I did find the history lesson informative and interesting, but maybe next time don’t call everyone with a quick hitch a couch potato, implying they are lazy for wanting to save time. As for my time, I can watch my kid and read forums, I can’t do that...

I’m not familiar with that blower, but the B01 series and the BX series share snowblowers, but utilize different front mount setups. I have the BX2822A blower for my B2601, but it uses a B model hitch setup. You would need to find the appropriate front mount. I think Ritter bit will do uses that...

Depending on the size, but some furniture dollys from harbor freight and move them around. If they are larger, make some dollys with casters and lumber. I have my chipper and aerator on custom dollys while everything else is on furniture dollys. I need to build one for my loader so I have one...

I am one of those fortunate people who has everything in a building, on a flat concrete floor and have everything on a dolly or custom made dolly. The quick hitch still makes attaching easier. My time is important, and when I need to use two or three implements in the process of completing my...

My dealer has a QH15 on a tractor sitting on the lot. No idea if it’s already sold, but I’ll ask him about that and the QH16 when I get a chance to go in. At the moment, only my aerator doesn’t fit my current QH05. I’ve wanted to upgrade to a heavier duty quick hitch, but I’m not in a rush...

I Im going to talk to my dealer about the QH16. It is the same design as the QH15, but with true Cat 1 implement connections, so no bushings. Given the design, I’m guessing it will be similar in cost to the QH15. The only downside is I’m guessing I’ll be waiting a while for it.

Unless you’re in a pinch, I don’t see the value in using some off brand that may work in order to save like $15. As someone else said, the cost/benefit just doesn’t make sense, especially when you look at the potential cost to repair/replace if something goes sideways. Saving $15 at the risk of...

I have never used a wrench to tighten a new filter. When you replaced the filter, did you check that the gasket from the prey filter wasn’t there and clean the surface of any debris before putting the new filter on? I’m guessing neither of those things are easy to do as fluid is coming out and...

From a standpoint of lifting a bucket full of whatever, both the BX and 1 series will be able to lift a full bucket load, the difference is the BX comes with a 48” bucket while the 1 series comes with a 53” bucket. The machines are performance matched the loader. The 1 series is a physically...

The video for it is only a month old. The good news is I’m not in a rush, but it looks really new, so I’ll have to be prepared to wait a year for it.
