    Wanted, manual for Snowblower BX2830

    You ever get a copy of this manual? I have a paper copy, was planning to scan for my own use. Yes, I understand, I'm posting on an old thread, but I see no other activity with similar content. Stephen

    Loader and Front-end Level (side-to-side) on BX23S

    The loader sits flat when in float mode. When not in float mode is where I see the difference. The floor is level. In the picture I posted there were two levels, one on the floor. I have a plastic floor tile system (swisstrax). The dealer asked about it when I sent them the picture. It is not...

    Loader and Front-end Level (side-to-side) on BX23S

    Got the tractor back from the dealer today and it’s better. Within 1/2”. Which I figure is within tolerance. I’m not *that* accurate with loader work anyhow. When on float it sits flat. At least as flat as the ground. They swapped the rear tires, left to right. That sounded about all they...

    Loader and Front-end Level (side-to-side) on BX23S

    The local power monopoly is, lets say not the best... Here's a headline from one of many over the years: --- CMP dead last in U.S. in survey of business customers’ satisfaction The J.D. Power survey sought opinions from 21,000 business customers of 87 utilities nationwide. It shows the Maine...

    Loader and Front-end Level (side-to-side) on BX23S

    I did measure. At the cutting edge it's about 1" difference. At the front of the tractor (frame) it's about 5/8" difference. Meaning -- the frame of the tractor at the front-end is not level from side-to-side.

    Loader and Front-end Level (side-to-side) on BX23S

    I don't think it's the loader frame as the tractor frame itself seems to be off-level, it's just magnified at the end of the loader.

    Loader and Front-end Level (side-to-side) on BX23S

    Not sure these show much but the floor is level but the bucket and frame are off. Dealer is picking it up today/tomorrow to take a look. Suspect this is why I had to make very large adjustments to get the mower deck level as well (mid mount).

    Loader and Front-end Level (side-to-side) on BX23S

    Honda eu2000i and a cheap HF 9kw I really only run it when the power will be out more than a few hours. The Honda won't run my well pump (240V) so the cheap-o Harbor Freight is for the extended winter outages when I want water and heat. Last night was a thunderstorm that took out the area...

    Loader and Front-end Level (side-to-side) on BX23S

    Yup. That was the dealers message to me. Adjust the tire pressure to compensate.

    Loader and Front-end Level (side-to-side) on BX23S

    The bucket does not sit level side to side. Neither does the frame (the bucket is attached). Not sure what pictures to take to show other than the front of the bucket about an inch higher on one side. Measured at the cutting edge. lost power just now so no lights to photograph by at the moment...

    Loader and Front-end Level (side-to-side) on BX23S

    Got some loader time in on my new BX23s this weekend and noticed it kept digging in on the right side. After getting it in the garage I noticed the front-end loader is about 1” higher on the left side than on the right. Measuring at the frame (on the front) it’s off about 1/2”. At the back-end...

    Metalheads of OTT 🤘

    No videos to post but I did spend Friday night at Fenway Park in Boston with Joan Jett, Poison, Def Leppard, and Motley Crue. A bit old school for what I've seen here thus far.

    Snowblowing and working music, what’s your playlist?

    I can relate to the no-headphones or "listen to the equipment" idea. I've had an open station for 20+ years and have never worn headphones when working before. I'm super paranoid around any equipment. The BX23S does have a loud whine and the cab amplifies it to where I am worried about...

    Snowblowing and working music, what’s your playlist?

    dude. 30 seconds in and I can already tell this one’s a winner for working. I feel like I’m going to need outdoor speakers instead of headphones for it! Bonus, always good to have the significant other think of you as a Viking!

    Snowblowing and working music, what’s your playlist?

    I’m already thinking about winter and snowblowing. Now that I’ve got a tractor with a heated cab with a set of 3m workntunes headphones, I’ve got to start making my winter work mix tape! (Yes I might be showing my age there) So here’s my question, what’s your playlist? What’s your snowblowing...

    Hydraulic (bucket) throttling

    I just recently moved to a 2022 BX23S from a 2003 BX1500. I was very fluid with the BX1500 after ~20 years of seat time. The "curve" of the stick is different with the BX23S so my work is also a bit herky-jerky as well. Figuring as stated here, I just need more time working with the new girl to...

    New BX23S today, first impressions

    They quoted it at $1,300. So... I don't think it's free any longer. I'll double check all the paperwork though, just in case I missed it. Thanks for the heads up. They bought out Wescott & Sons in Gorham, ME. Parts guys are all the same but all new sales people over the past few years. Service...
