JP: I believe that there was a string about a "broken" tractor a while back which was a NH. This sparked the debate on FEL stresses and how the relief valves were set vs the bucket size. Oneace, being a NH tech was very valuble with his 1st hand knowledge there. Do a search on this, it may be valuble to you.

Your "summer blend" is probably #2, so top it off with kerosene and maybe some anti-gelling addative (any truck stop or farm supply store will have this), then you will be fine.

Use the block heater for an hour or two befor you are going to use the tractor when the temp gets below maybe 10-15° F. This will help the starting, but probably isn't totally necessary untill it gets below Zero.

Stu: Try some of the discount farm supply stores. In my area we have Fleet-Farm and Tractor Supply (TSC) who handle things like King Kutter. They (KK) make a line of rear attachments called their XB line made specially for the sub-Compact tractors. Inexpensive and decently built. It is not OEM or Woods, but it works. I have one of their XB box-blades.

I've seen the same thing on the FEL hard lines under the floor of my BX. There seem to be some compression fittings which "leak" a little. I've been a little afraid to tighten them.

I to would like to see resopnce from someone more "in the know" than me.

Before I bought my trailer, I borrowed a friend's with brakes on one axle. When the brake was applied the axle would twist slightly, causing the spring equalizer to lift that axle, then release. This would begin a harmonic "bounce" in the axle which shook the whole thing quite violently. My trailer has brakes on both axles and has never done this all the way up to locking all 4 tires.

An electric brake has a shoe mounted on the solinoid in the drum which pushes against the face of the drum, causing the main brake shoes to rotate around an accentric activating them. The varing current to the solinoid varies the amount of pressure to the secondary shoe which activate the primary brake. The wheel must rotate for the brake to operate.

Is the 4wd engaged? There will be some gear noise from the slight mismatch of rotation when moving quickly.

If not, check for play in the front drive shaft support bearings (in axle and trans). It may have some play there.

Do any of you lawn care equipment experts know of a gas powered trimmer which can use "changable" work ends? What I'm looking to get is one peice of equipment which has both a trimmer attachment and a blower attachment.<br>
<br>
Or, am I better off to buy a backpack blower and a trimmer as two seperate units?

You could try adding enough Kerosene to make it a 60/40: #2/kerosene blend (std. Winterblend). Maybe one of the aftermarket addatives will do, too? I don't know anything about them, I haven't ever used them.

IMHO a sub-CUT is capable of mowing much more than the 1 acre rough and 1/2 of finish. The BX is also available with a factory Back-Hoe, suitable for light to moderate digging. Dealer relationship is the largest part of satisfaction.

I will have to agree with Beagle on this one. I own a BX2230 which is basically the same as a JD 2210 and would have to say that if I were to try any "farm" type work the size of the sub-CUT would be the limiting factor. They will have plenty of power, but the physical size limitations will be the problem. Go for the next larger chassis size and you will be more satisfied.
