With every new machines first oil change, he installs a short piece of black pipe into the drain plug hole. He uses a piece just long enough to reach out past the frame by a little bit, then puts a threaded over the pipe end onto which a nut has been welded to aid in removing and reinstalling it for the each oil change. He also brazes a little tab onto the side of the pipe after it is properly snugged in place to allow it to be fastened to the frame to prevent the pipe from moving from installing the cap or vibration

This is a good idea but it wouldn't work on my 2554 because the frame is higher than the drain plug hole.Any pipe would hit the frame instead of clearing it.

My MTD powerCraft has a pipe similar to what you're talking about but the frame is low enough that the pipe extends out over it.

PLUG ~~~ UGH

Make sure the coyote eats it all while you are watching so as to prevent it being picked up by some one's domestic pet....a very sad unintended consequence.

This happened to me and one of our good hunting dogs as someone was trying to rid the area of pesky coyotes but got ours and neighbors dogs with it as well.

This don't happen when people keep their pets on their own property ! ! !

Any thing that comes into the flood lit area is fair game.
If the neighbors want to save their pets keep them out of the lights.

I just got a new 2554 last SEPT.
Got it with a tiller dirt blade and AG back tires.
Cost about 2500 less than a Comparable JD equipped the same.
It offered me the biggest bang for my buck.

Most box store tractors are lawn tractors.
So I guess a lawn tractor could be used as a lawn mower.

I cleaned up a dog pen area for my next door neighbor that had a fence around it.<br>
There were several wood, 2 inch steel pipe and chain link fence post. <br>
Some I just pushed back and forth a time or 2 with the fel<br>
then hooked a chain on the FEL or BH bucket and wrapped the chain around the post and lifted them right out. I had to dig around the others a little with the BH before using the chain.<br>

LB, if you think it has traction now, try swapping out those rear tires for an aggressive set of ATV tires.

***********

Would these ATV tires really have more traction than AG tires?

If you're gonna use it for a tractor put tractor tires on it.
''''''''''' '''''''
I am considering purchasing a TC40 or 45 tractor for general all around farm use and was wondering if industrial (which seems like most come with) or AG tires would be better for traction. The tractor would be used for possibly things like pulling out bushes, small trees, loader work with some done on rocky ground, and perhaps some rotovator use, a small amount of plowing maybe, etc.

I am used to using wheeled tractors with Ag tires but maybe industrials would be fine. I'm wondering what others think? Thanks.

. I mean for about $3000 you could have a real loader on a bigger machine.
. . . . .
I don't need to spend 3000 on a loader when I all ready have the FEL on the BX23.
Also keep in mind a bigger tractor cost more than a smaller tractor.

Maneuverability vs. power is always a compromise.
;;;;;;;;
That's why I have a BX23 and a CC GT2554.
The two together add up to less compromising and more versatility.

Ibrown - are the handles color coded to the vehicle or just black? If they are just black the dealer should be able to switch out the handle for the one with the lock without too much trouble. I am sure the autoworker just grabbed the handle from the wrong bin.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>>> >>> Just black
Switching handles seems like an easy reasonable fix to me.
What I don't understand is his dealer making such a mountain out of a mole hill over doing that..

You could take the action a produce farmer near me had, each implement has it's own tractor. Not sure why he went bankrupt.<br>

I almost had that with a tiller on a 67 Bolens Front Blade on A 66 Bolens & a 46'' Mower deck on A MTD PowerKraft Unlike the produce farmer I'm not bankrupt just tractor and pick up truck poor. <br>
He should have operated it as a hobby farm and wrote every thing off for taxes.

2*Hello, brand new tractor owner here - just took delivery today of a BX24 with BH, FEL,
3*Box Scraper, Tiller and non Kubota 9" Auger Post Hole Digger. $16,000 for the BX 24, $19,030.00 plus tax with delivery included for the whole shebang. Good deal?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1*Yes

3*I just bought a new Cub Cadet GT2554 Garden Tractor with 54'' mower tiller and front blade. It's my BX23s new assistant.
On most of the jobs/projects I've done I've needed the FEL BH and Tiller all at the same time. Having the tiller on a separate tractor permits that. I also need a smaller mower on a small tractor to get into the places the BX23 can't get to.
The CC as an extra tractor cuts way way down on playing musical attachments.
