I asked my dealer about these. He quoted me "...about $5000..." for the kit. He couldn't tell me anything about it in detail, said he would send me some info when they got it. He also confirmed that the mount was "...very similar, almost identical in design, to the BX23..."

I was quoted on the King Kutter tillers:

TG 48 $1282 (King Kutter 2 - Gear Drive)
XB 48 $1177 (King Kutter - Chain Drive)

Do these numbers sound reasonable? They are from Fleet-Farm the local big box farm supply store.

Hi guys,<br>
I was mowing at the church tonight with my 855 and had the headlights on. They worked fine for about 1/2 hour then they went out. I checked the fuse and the 25amp fuse is melted in the fuse holder. It not only melted in the holder but through the holder. Any ideas on how to fix this?<br>
Thanks<br>

The click you are feeling is the float function of the loader and normal. This setting is just beyond the lower position. You need to push it a little harder to get it there.

No problem my freind.... your dog is in the hunt. Your idea will work fine.

The forged eye hooks on the ends of my bucket have shackles and chain hooks that go on them. I had hoped to post a picture today but the laptop went a little wacky when I down-loaded the new anti-virus program.

I will post something tomorrow......

You need to replace them both if you are doing your 50 hr service, and don't forget to clean the strainer.

I have 49.4 Hrs. on my BX 23
It's time for the 50 hr service.
Is changing the fluid in the transmission and the engine the only fluids I need to change ?
What about the hydraulic fluid for the loader and the back hoe etc?
About how much can I expect to spend for fluid, oil and filters?

Do you have a quick detach loader bucket? If you do I highly recommend spend a few hundred extra & getting the pallet forks that replace the bucket. You will also be able to lift more wieght with them

I can testify that our regular driver know about nothing when it come to the tractors he delivers. Unless the customer comes in before hand and I can go over every thing with them I deliver the tractor. There is nothing worse than a driver that does not know the unit he he delivering. Even when I deliver the tractor it is hard to get every detail of the the unit, so I give my personal cell phone number to the costumer because I want to make sure no matter what time of day it is if there is a question I want to know about it.

There has been quite a few time that I have have gone out at way after business hours to show or explain in person the operation of the unit.

If you have any question I would say by pass the sales man and the service manager and go right to the person that set it up. Most stores all the service manager is a paper pusher and know very little about the units they sell.

If any one has any question about the New Holland tractor fell free to get ahold of me and I will make sure you are satisfied with your purchase regardless of where you bought it. Instant message me and i will be more than happy to give you my phone number Or I can call you to make sure you are happy and informed. I Can help with anything form the TZ18-24, TC21-24-29-30-33-35-40-45-48-55, TN60-65-70-75, TL80-90-100, TS115-125-135, TM130-145-165, and TV140-145 models. as well as others not listed.

Did you have the first 50 hour service done by the dealer or did you do it your self?

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Oneace. I tried all of the "Top 3" and I agree that Kubota and John Deere are excellent machines. It all comes down to personal preference and choice of dealer. I don't think I would be disappointed with any of them.

Thew pump house is currently 4x8x9, but I was planning to build a smaller insulated box within it to reduce the volume to around 75-100 cubic feet. The heater would be within that box, as well as the 32 gal bladder tank, the well, the pressure pump and the piping.<br>
<br>
I've already repiped everything in copper and insultated the individual pipes pretty well, but it's near impossible to insulate the pump itself.<br>
<br>
I figured will a well insulated box and a small heater, hopefully I wouldn't have to run it too much.<br>
<br>
I was thinking about in the future using a recirc pump that by using a couple of ball valves could be set up to recirculate water through the pump house, and the hot and cold water system of the house. I found some recirc pumps that are fairly low power (35 watts), but in that scenario, I would want to change the water heater over to propane first, otherwise it would cost a fortune to be constantly heating the water with electricity (not to mention backup power problems). I''ve been unable to find any low power small in line heaters. Just the big tankless units.<br>
<br>
I'm a little reluctant to repipe the trailer yet though as I'm having a little bit of a hard time getting financing on the property because of the older trailer (1974 double wide) that's on it, and want to make sure they're not going to force me to yank the trailer and build a new home before I dump cash into the trailer itself.<br>
<br>
Thats an interesting idea about putting floation devices in the water. What do you use, rubber balls, pool toys and the like? Or is there something especially made for this purpose?<br>
<br>
Where the one inch pipe comes out of the tank there is an 18" tall x 12" deep wooden box filled with sawdust to insulate the piping. Would that piping be in danger in any way due to cold water on the bottom of the tank even if the ice is only on the top few inches of the water?<br>
<br>
Also, I was wondering if a small aqaurium heater and air pump could be used to mildy heat and circulate the water in the tank. Not sure if this would be worth the power expense though.<br>
<br>
Temperatures usually don't drop below the teens a whole lot there (gets a couple feet of snow max), but there might be cold spells that drop into single digits. Unfortunately, those are probably during the periods when power lines might go down.

It would seem best to run the engine at at least 2/3 rated rpm whenever you are operating. At this rpm, you are running the engine at it's highest torque rating and in it's most efficient operating range. Running at low rpms not only makes heat dissipation difficult for the transmission, but also for the engine.

All right you put me to the test and I've failed on all but one! The 0-1 hitch I didn't find on any of the makes we sell that I'm aware of! The other part is they start off about 100 dollars more but there are 300lb capacity cat 1 hitch units available. They will fit on your tractor just the hitch arms will have to be wide and you might have limited lift. The two doors assures you of the product flowing better to the spinner.

Yes, a little over slow idle, maybe 12-1500 rpm (no tach on a BX). Yes again, about the same before shutdown.

Well, if you have teenagers, you could do what my dad would have done. He would have handed me a snorkle, a shovel and a bucket. He never would spend the money on rental equipment when he had a teenage son who had friends.

From the way it sounds, I'd try some of the drag line options people have listed or hire it out to someone that knows how to handle their equipment in the marsh conditions.
