Thought I'd add to the collection of dirty pictures posted on the internet. Warning to all tractor waxers, they following pictures may offend those who keep their tractors spotless. But I have to say it did look pretty good till the next time I used it. After two years I thought it was time for...

No, not that list! I was daydreaming when I should have been paying attention to the load I was moving when I thought of the idea of a list of Ten Things To Remember When Working With A Front End Loader. So I had a crack at it and maybe you guys can have a go at it too. Warning, list contains...

Thought I'd share an idea that has worked well for me. The most time-consuming step when I changed implements was loosening and retightening the turnbuckles on the 3 point hitch. Replacing the pin in the clevis at the end of the turnbuckle with a snap ring allowed me to quicklly pop them out and...

Was cooking under my Tilley style hat yesterday and thought up a quick fix for shade. Thought some of my 'bota brothers might benefit from this "half-baked" idea :). Parts list: two quick clamps, scrap of half inch foam sheet, to scrap pieces of strapping for support and a couple of pieces of...

Thought I'd offer a new thread regarding some of the discussion on manufacturing quality starting to creep into the Bandaman loader thread. Just read a book by Fareed Zakaria, The Post American World. Pretty good read for a book on economics and foreign policy. The content is not quite as dire...

Happy new year gang! Thought I'd share a few pics from a project my Bota helped with this fall. I don't think we could have managed without it. Moved at least 140 metric tonnes of gravel and 18 pallets of interlock. The first shot is just starting to put in drainage for eves. Wish I'd had my...

The latches that hold the seat from folding forward seem to rub as they travel up and down causing considerable sqeaking. Anyone have a good solution for this? I've tried grease to no avail. Would like to cover latches with something smoother but haven't figured out the ideal solution yet. Help...

Was struggling a little on my grease maintenance today and thought I would poll you guys for your wisdom. Blower (B2781) PTO shaft- book calls for grease every 4 hours of operation. I found it very ackward to access the ujoints. Had to disassemble the shaft to get past guards and get angle to...

My new 51" rear snowblower (B2781) arrived with a driveshaft that was too long. When raised the driveshaft pushed the fan into a collision with the body of the blower. The dealer was quite good about repairing it. Unfortunately it took a second incident and repair before things seem to be...

I have a BX2350 and love it, although I expect these questions apply to other models as well. Why is the brake pedal way up at the middle of my shin when the forward pedal is down near the deck. If I was in a hurry to stop I would want it closer and preferably below the forward pedal. Anyone...

So I'm having my little adventures and learning experiences and I thought I'd share a tidbit. Please forgive me if this tip is overly obvious to the experienced, but I've read a few posts that mentioned the float setting without how to go about using it and maybe somebody will benefit :) ...

Had a BX2350 delivered a few days ago and wanted to thanks you folks for all the knowledge so generously shared here. I still have lots to learn but I know where to come for good advice. :D My first attempts to use the FEL were a bit awkward but a couple hours later things are looking...
