My DX33 lifted 15 94# bags of cement off the flatbed truck one day. Thats 1410#s in the bucket. With filled rear tires and a 450# box blade,it felt light in rear. Could have lifted a couple more, but they were stacked to the limit. My BX2200 was rated around 450# lift and it would lift 750#s up to chest high.

Break out force is the weight that the bucket can curl or roll back.

You should always change a dented filter and never install a filter that is dented. Once the filter is dented, a concentration of stress in the metal is created, making the metal more susceptible to fatigue. The pressure pulses in the oiling system put stress on the metal canister. Filters are made from low carbon steel to with stand the stress created by the pulsing of the oiling system. In other words, When you bend metal back and forth, it work hardens the metal and eventually it breaks. The softer the metal, the longer it takes to break. Low carbon steel is soft and will take more bending before it breaks. The pressure pulses in the oiling system expand and contract the filter ever so slightly. When you have a dent in a filter, the metal in the dent is strechted which makes the metal thinner and harder in the dented area, which can make this area of the filter fail.

I have a Case IH DX33 and depending on what I am doing, I may take the loader off once or twice a day. It takes 2-3 minutes to remove and about the same to reinstall.

When the ring and pinion gears wear it creates excessive back lash. A good driveline shop will use a dial indicator to check the backlash and adjust it using shims. They will put some white grease on the gears and check the wear pattern of the gears to make sure they are meshing properly. Also,when the pinion bearing wears it will create some play in the pinion gear. This can cause a little play also. If you have a lot of miles on the vehicles, you would be better off leaving the differentials as they are. Sometimes adjusting the ring and pinion on a vehicle with a lot of miles will create a whining noise in the rear diff. Chock your rear wheels, put the tansmission in neutral and turn the driveshaft by hand. You will see the play in the driveshaft.

AZ is a lot different than TN. Much faster pace. People get shot here from road rage all the time. A major trucking company from AZ was taken to court many times because their trucks were set at a top speed of 60 mph. The courts made them set their trucks at 65 mph because 60 mph was proven to be an unsafe speed. Many accidents are caused by slow vehicles. I am a professional driver with 1.7 million safe miles driven on every major road in all lower 48 states, Canada and Mexico. I have seen first hand the death and destruction caused by idiots who were not patient enough to wait for a chance to pass safely. About 1 hour ago, I was driving 30 mph down my street on my way home from work. This is a 1 mile long residential street with a speed limit of 30 mph and a double yellow line the entire distance. 2 pickup trucks came up behind me and the first one rode my bumper at about 1/2 truck length away from me with their bright lights on for 1/4 mile and then turned onto a side road. The 2nd truck also rode my bumper for about a 1/4 mile a then flew past me only to turn onto another side road a couple of blocks later. People out here have no patients what so ever.
P.S. I know what it's like to drive slow. I drive 500 to 600 miles a night in 18 wheeler up an down mountain grades at 15 - 35 mph with people tailgating me with their bright lights in my mirrors all the time. They get so PO'd because I'm slowing them down that they will pass on blind curves and force oncoming traffic to pull over. I just can't wait to hit the big roads and get up to speed so I can relax!

In Arizona you run the water and gas (I think) in the same trench if you dig the trench with a shelf. I think the shelf has to be 1' higher than the bottom of the trench. Our water where I live(4000ft alt.) has to be 1' deep by code. I went just over 2'deep with the water so it would stay cooler in the summer. I know you can run water and elec. in the same trench with a shelf.

I owned a BX2200 that was rated at 450-460lbs of lift. I put 750lbs of concrete blocks in the bucket at waist high level. The tractor felt a little tippy. Don't know how much more it could have lifted because there was no more room in the bucket.

If they fix one or two of these a week, they should know if it is a warranty item. If you let the fluid leak out until the tranny fails, then it will certianly be covered under warranty.

I used to own a BX 2200. I think the loader was rated for 450lbs. As a test,I put 750lbs. of concrete blocks in the bucket with bucket waist high. I had a 400lb. box blade on the back and fluid filled tires. While standing beside the tractor, I bounced it up and down and the rear tires almost lifted off the ground. The loader had enough power to lift the load but I didn't feel comfortable going higher than 5 feet.

The bucket on the BX 2200 I owned would only raise about 6' high. If you are going to rent or borrow a dump truck or high trailer you will have a problem. The specs show the loader will lift about 450lbs. but when I tested mine, it lifted 700lbs. Also, since time is money, the smaller machine takes longer to do the job.

I used to own a BX 2200. If it is the same, the bucket is level when the flat bar of the indicator is level. You still have to be able to eyeball the levelness of the indicator. You could tape a small level to the indicator and practice for a while. I hope this helps.
