I am considering a BX-23, even though it's really over-budget right now. Plan to do landscaping on 2.5 acres, plus snow removal. Doesn't seem to be much market in used BX-22/23s here in eastern Mass. <br>
<br>
One of my main jobs is lifting out fair-sized trees and shrubs for transplanting. The backhoe is way too small to go over them. Has anyone ever heard of mounting a bucket backwards so it scoops away from the machine? <br>
<br>
Other questions, if anyone here knows: What's the largest bucket that the machine will mount? 16" would be more useful to me than the little one that seems standard. Also, I need to shape a bunch of slopes from beneath. How far up and out will the backhoe reach, and can it push good-sized rocks (say 300#) up-slope? What about pushing rocks sideways on level ground by swinging the BH?<br>
<br>
Thanks very much for all info.

Make sure that your revenge is subtle and part of your normal daily routine. Don't be hasty. Think about it for a while. Make sure the payback occurs over a period of months or years. It can appear to be vindictive - that's OK as long as you have a dual purpose for what you are doing. Trust me - I have years of experience in these matters.

It's not clear from your description of what exactly you're doing. To add photos I click on myProfile at the top of the page, then scroll down and click on "Click here to modify or add Photos to album". Is that what you're doing?

I went to my local Tractor Supply and found that the finish mowers are "King Kutter" name brand. Can anyone give me an opinion on these? They are about $600 less than a comparably sized Bush Hog from my dealer and $800 less than a Woods. Also, they have a 3000 fpm higher tip speed than the Bush Hog and 2000 fpm high tip speed than the Woods. <br>
<br>
Lastly, any opinions on side vs/ear discharge? I've heard that for wider finish mowers it's best to use a rear discharge (side discharges really clump). Thanks!

Hi,
Just wondering, if you know if you have a dual stage clutch? In other can you push down on the clutch ~1/2 way to disengage the transmition, all the way down to disengage the PTO?

I'd said I'd stay shy of the design part of the floor, but perhaps the use of torsion box structures to span the joists would add an imense amount of load bearing strength. Peters; I'm sure your familiar with torsion boxes, they simply two sheets of 3/4 ply with a 2x4 frame spaced on 16 in centers sandwiched between them held together with construction adhesive and deck screws. We used to mount some super heavy shop machines on them with heavy duty casters on the four corners to make them portable. I honestly think you could park a pickup on one without hardly flexing it. The stronger it needs to be you simply use 2x6's or 2x8's then with full inch ply instead of 3/4. Please understand I don't have any idea of the load bearing strengh in actual numbers of these boxes, we just built them till they looked twice as strong as we needed and never did break one. Just another thought. Frank.

I just bought a Bushhog Razor Back 60" cutter for my B7500. I have never used a rotary cutter before. I am having a great deal of difficulty determining how to connect the cutter to the tractor to get it level. I have read several posts tonight and see reference to setting the 3ph then attaching the toplink. My understanding from reading the manual for my tractor is that you use the adjuster link on the right hand lower arm to level an implement and use the top link for height. If I set the lower links level and use the top link to adjust height one of two things occurs. If I set the top link so I can transport the cutter with the rear wheel off the ground when I lower the unit the front is on the ground and the rear much higher. If I set the top link so the cutter is level on the ground I cannot lift it clear. Can someone explain to me in easy to understand terms how to connect this thing to my tractor correctly. Thanks.

a new engine will not reset the warrenty it is like when you buy a new starter or altornater they warrenty the componate.so only the engine would be cover normally from six months to two years depending on where the engine was purchased. I'm not sure on nh engines do tho the fact that we have never had to replace a compact engine before.

just make sure you use some sort of thread sealed either teflon tape or pipe dope on all pipe fittings. 37 degree jic fittings i tighten them till they are tight you will know when that is. o-ring seals you can only tighten so much till the two faces meet. if your hoe is run off the power beyond circut there really is not pressure when the tractor is not running because it automaticly relives it self due to being an open center system. good luck it is all very easy to do.

I just looked at the web site. The way I understand it you have to finance it for 36 months it has to be at least $1k, to get 48 months it has to be $5k, ect. This is typical so they are not financing small amounts for a long term.

I find it hard to believe that you need to remove the engine to replace the pan. I realize I need to on the MF65 but the pan is part of the frame. The Ford? Let me check the Cummins? I did it not that long ago on a boy's 350 GMC not easy to get in and out but it can be done.

I have no doubt we can design a more economical and healthful system, but I'd bet the farm that in this political and legal climate there is no way it will be properly implemented. Look at what government has done with the tax system! If private companies are creating a bureaucracy that is out of control I can't see government doing it more efficiently. They would probably take over existing insurers and add their own layer on top of them.
