    Ground prep question

    I like making a pass or two with the tiller then the drag work in the contours and finally finish with the drag.

    Modifying My Trailer ???

    The jacks reduce the stress on the trailer frame and help keep weight on the rear tires of the tow vehicle ( park brake should be set for loading and unloading ). I've always used the 4WD to load the tractor to clime on the trailer, other wise you push on the trailer until the drive tires hit...

    Shortening Back Blade

    have you used the blade as is yet? I've got a five footer for my BX and at an angel it gets narrow quick. If you do skinny it up, take the same amount off both ends.

    Friggin' Cold - Synthetic Here We Go!

    I'm not aware that new vehicles are leaving the factory with anything other than conventional break in oil in the crankcase, if they do I'd like to hear about it. The two dealers I use for Amsoil are engine builders, one builds my Mopar...

    Friggin' Cold - Synthetic Here We Go!

    The rings have got to seat before you switch or they never will! Yes you can go back to conventional oil after synthetic. I run new vehicles 5,000 miles before synthetic.

    Friggin' Cold - Synthetic Here We Go!

    I use Amsoil in my Kubota's, engine's and hydro's, the cold weather performance alone is worth the investment. You have to wait until you have 150 to 200 hrs. on the engine before going to synthetic, then I drop filters (Kubota filters) at 100 hrs. and top of fluids. I have used synthetics for...

    Box scraper for my new BX25? Which model/brand?

    I just bought a King Kutter 48" box blade for my BX, and not the XB 48 but the BB48. At 400lbs its very heavy duty and not something my BX is going to bend up, having said that I don't like how much it changes the center of gravity on the BX when its all the way up. I needed it for removing dead...

    Quick-Hitch for CAT 1

    It moves your tiller back 3" or so, you will have to check your pto shaft length. If you look at the picture under Iowan you can see it on the back of my BX just in front of the tiller. You set the lower arm's up once ( side to side and level ) and your top link will adjust like it would without...

    Quick-Hitch for CAT 1

    I use a quick hich, not a LP, Speerco I think and its great. I change implement's a lot so its a big time saver for sure. I would not have a tractor without one! The tiller is the reason I got mine in the first place, I just pick it up flip the levers and hook up the pto, no problem!
