    mid mount mower deck or bush hog?

    Folks, if you have decent hay grass, or any grass with less than 1" stalks, the mower works very well. Ive cut down 10" stuff that I thought I had to bush hog with zero issues with my MMD. Zero bog. Its not fescue, its hay and random grasses, basically. I ground up and spit out larger...

    BX23s FWD/Rev HST pedal issues

    Thanks for posting that. I can start with the damper. Funny, today I was on/off the tractor 50+ times and it never happened once.

    BX23s FWD/Rev HST pedal issues

    Well, it happened to me; tractor died and wouldn't start. The Fwd/Rev pedal all of a sudden went to "mush" and wouldn't return to neutral or activate the switch to allow the tractor to start. I lubed the daylights out of the zerc fitting for the pedal mechanism, shot silicon spray all over...

    Damaging Rear PTO bush hogging ditches

    mid mount mower deck or bush hog?

    I posted a question about bush hogging ditches in another thread, and while I dont yet have a bush hog Ive been thinking if I actually need one. I realize they do two different jobs, as they are different implements. I have the 60" mid mount mower deck (never used it) and while my pasture is...

    Damaging Rear PTO bush hogging ditches

    Probably not possible to mow ditches in a different direct because they are too deep. I may simply have to weed whack a 400' ditch. Ill make certain of the PTO length

    Damaging Rear PTO bush hogging ditches

    OK, good to know, thanks. I definitely want to get this right because my pasture is a complicated one. I'll already be trying not to flip the tractor at the same time trying to make sure the rotary cutter isnt binding or damaging my tractor.

    Hello all. Im the proud new owner of BX23s and have been scouring Youtube for operating advice since Im a total novice. I came across some information saying that if you somehow get the tractor and the rear implement in a "pinch" type position that you can drive the PTO shaft into the...
