Glenn, thats a long way to go for your orange juice. Called my dealer today and they stock it thank goodness. They only sell kubota's maybe thats why. Although at first I was not to happy with them, they just won a point. After they change my ROPS and do my 50hrs service I may have to back up on some earier statements about them. Good luck.

Let me try to put this into perspective. We have a term here in PA. that refers to something that is built to last and usually with what ever is available that is " built pennsylvania dutch style". Well this run-in shed falls into that catagory. The front consist of three metal columns cemented into the ground, that are bolted and welded to a metal I-beam header. The opening is between two of these columns. They are packed out in wood to attach the wooden roof joist and the whole thing is sheathed with rough sawn barnboards. So you see the header is about 10" thick not 3 1/2" like that of a standard wooden header. I also caught the ROPS on the last 1/2" putting maximum leverage at the point of the bend. It was the power not the weight of the tractor that bent it.

Regular laundry soap like Wisk works great on the oil spots before you paint. I used M.A.B. silver deck paint with a roller & stick. It's a whole lot easier to paint a floor than the walls & cieling. And after it's done everything cleans up easier.

Is there a tractor with a tea cup holder, mini-bar and machine gun mount? Oh and it would have to convert into a helicopter or speed boat or something.

Thanks Mark, I might add check your seat bolt. Mine is lost, must have loosened up from turning the seat around. When I lifted my seat the last time to check the transmission fluid the seat came off in my hands.

I like my Glock 21 45cal. with two ten round clips which I don't think are made anymore. It's lightweight and I can hammer nails all day without getting fatigued. Only goes with me to the range and to the city anymore. I got about 4 boxes of those black talons too which I don't think are around anymore. The wife likes her taurus .38 (hammerless) for the purse. Keeps teflon hollow points in it for her travels.

I have the Vermont Castings Defiant it is my only heat sorce. Had it since I built my house. I have pushed at least 35 cord maybe more through it in the last 5 years. Yearly cleanings were all it needed still has the original catalyst. However it is time now for new gaskets. The glass doors do get sooty(black) when I run it at cooler temps(550d)and I only do this at the beginning and end of the burning season all winter it runs at 700d. When running at 700d the soot turns into a white ash that easily comes off with windex. My house is an open design with cieling vaults to the second floor which permits me to run at 700d without over heating any one room. These are all griddle temps.

You learn something new every day if your lucky. I did't know husky was a referance to husqvarna. Thought that was that bike company. I never heard of husqvarna until I walked into the local cub cadet dealer on my tractor search. I burned about 10 cord this winter and a new chain saw and log splitter our on my wish list. I don't know where you all live, but here in pa it seems like it's been winter for 2 years.

Kevin, My bx wasn't even off the trailer and I had a neighbor asking if I could backscrape a winters worth the horse sh-t away from his paddock. I'm not as leather skinned when it comes to sharing as some of the other post and did it for him. I must admit that he has willingly helped me out with snow removal, but I have allways given him some money. Needless to say, when I was done no money was offered. And at first it seemed as though he didn't understand why I wanted him to hook up his hose so I could rinse it off. I'm sure that this experience has a lesson for the both of us.

I wanted to take a little time to personally thank all you veterans and your families out there both past and present, for your service and your sacrifice to what I believe is the greatest country on earth, and the last best hope for mankind. <br>
Although I have never served, my oldest brother served in the Navy during the vietnam war, and was one of the lucky ones that came home and is still among us. My father served in the Air Force during World War II where when stationed in London he met my mother. Mom was also in the fight and served in the British Auxiliary Territorial service. She was a plane spotter and worked the lights, where she had been strafed and had the bullet wounds in her leg to prove it. Can you just imagine the pride I feel when I see those brave britts standing and fighting with us in this most recent fight in Iraq.<br>
It is my greatest goal to live my life and to raise my family is such a way that makes me worthy of their and your service and sacrifice. <br>
May your God bless you and keep you, and from this humble american Thank you.

A Memorial day thank you

Exactly right Mark, when I am in the seat it appears that the bucket is not centered. However, the bucket meets the ground level and the pins slide in and out with know trouble when mounting or removing. I have had the bucket filled to overflowing with blue mountain stone and have not had any performance problems(no twisting). Like cutter I have a thing about things being straight and true, so when I am in the seat my eyes are drawn right to it. Thank you both for your comments on these issues. It appears as though I do not have a problem after all.

I have the 60" deck on my BX22 I just got done mowing my field(no lawn here)and you MUST have the rpm's all the way up. I mowed in high gear knowing that some weeds might be left behind and was quite suprised at how well it cut. As mentioned above, check the blades,cut at maximum rpm, and slow down. Good luck and hope this helps.
