    Mowing  BX 60in MMM Center Blade Not Engaging

    Hi all, hoping someone will point me in the right direction. The center blade on the mmm is not engaging. I can easily move it by hand, and it does have a little bit of play or wobble. Would this most likely indicate a problem with the shaft assembly or a gear box problem? The outer blades are...

    Snow Attachments  Soft Edge on a FEL Bucket Expander

    I would like to minimize damage to my asphalt driveway while using my FEL for snow plowing. I was thinking about buying a bucket ex-pander with a replaceable wear edge, then attach a rubber edge guard using the ex-pander holes. I would 'save' the driveway, increase my snow load, and would not...

    Anyone Using Edge Tamers on Thier Buckets for Snow Plowing?

    Came across this product in reviewing postings but I don't see much discussion about it, or its effectiveness here on TBN. My application is on an old macadam/asphalt driveway. The drive is uneven in places and broken up a bit down by the road. Also, I do have to push snow up over the lawn along...

    Snow Blade  Will a Bolt On Tooth Bar Help or Hinder Snow Removal?

    Has anyone used their tooth bar while pushing snow with the FEL? Any problems? I use the FEL and a rear blade on my BX. After my first winter of scrapping snow on my 600 ft, hilly asphalt driveway, I want to protect my bucket edge this year. I have a bolt on tooth bar, the Piranha from...

    Will a Canopy Provide Much Protection for the Tractor Itself?

    I will use my BX year round, and year round it will be outside (at least for the foreseeable future). I currently use a canvas tarp in winter. I would like to know if a hard shell type canopy will give the tractor itself much protection from the sun, snow, rain. Particularly concerned about...

    BX2660 (2010) Spd Control Ped & FEL Vertical Lift not Engaging

    Hello, My FEL raise/lower stopped working. Curl function seems fine. The FEL control is sloppy as if there is something not connected. AND shortly thereafter there is no tractor Forward or Reverse engagement or movement. No sign of hydraulic leaks. Rear and mid hydraulic lifts seem to work...

    300 lb Rear Blade for BX / Skid Shoes Necessary?

    Hi, I need help on deciding on a back blade. I just recently got my first ever sub-compact tractor, a BX2660 and the manual says it will handle up to a 350 lb rear blade. So my question is would skid shoes be necessary for a blade that small/light for snow removal on my 600 foot macadam drive...

    Buying Advice  BX2660 (2010, 267 hrs) or BX2360 (New with Warranty)

    I'm looking at these two machines. I think I could do a little better on the new BX2360 pricing, but the used BX2660 is value priced based on all of the other similar machines I've priced, mainly on Tractor House, but also at various brand dealers locally. Both machines have same FEL, and MMM...

    Quick Connect vs. Manual for Loader

    I'm considering a Kubota BX2660 or JD 1025R. Looking at the JD quick connect system I am very impressed. However one still must leave the seat to disconnect the hydraulic hoses. My Question (not having owned a tractor prior) is on the Kubota can you disconnect the hydraulic lines for the loader...
