I've was just looking at the Lawnboy website trying to research a new walk behind mower and noticed that they no longer make any 2 stroke lawnmowers. When did this happen? I was hoping to buy one this spring. I may have just answered my own question. Looks like they still produce them, found...

I was browsing through the Husqvarna website today and stumbled across a Husqvarna Hover Trimmer . This thing floats on air as it cuts. Anybody actually seen one.

I, like most of you, lead a very busy life. My time afield during deer gun season has dwindled to almost zero the last few years. I’ve hunted for most of my life and have been thinking in order to maximize my hunting time, I should consider bow hunting. If anyone has any info regarding...

Anyone know if Woods makes touchup paint for the implements. If not, is there a close substitute? Jim

I’ve torn one of the rubber tie-rod boots on the BX. I found an old post about repairing this and the poster mentioned that you have to buy the complete tie-rod assembly just to replace the boot. Anyone replace one recently? Is this still the case?? Jim

I was at WallyWorld last night and they are closing out nearly all HD engine oils sold by the quart. The exceptions were Shell Rotella and the SuperTech oils. I picked up the remaining 8 qts of Delo 15w40 for $1.20ea. They are even closing out the Rotella Syn @ $3.50ea. Pennzoil, Valvoline...

I don't know if it's just my setup, but when I login to TBN, the main index has the new threads and posts from the last time I was logged in. But, whenever I open a particular category, like Owning/Operating, all the posts and active threads show that I've never even opened them before. I used...

I went home for lunch today and happened upon a guy who lost a JD455 from his trailer. By the time I had arrived, he had it upright and nearly back on his trailer. The 455 was damaged pretty good; hood gone, steering wheel bent up, suspension damaged, and body banged up. Surprisingly, the...

Husqvarna 21\" Push Mower I’ve been looking to replace an old no-name 21” push mower that I use around my place for trim duties. The Husqvarna dealer in town is advertising a 21” push mower with a 5.5hp Honda GC Series engine for $199. I’ve never owned anything with a Honda engine, but their...

Last night after finishing up our Christmas light display, I pulled onto the driveway to unload some stuff and noticed that the BX is leaking coolant. A quick look in the dark with a flashlight confirmed a leak near the lower radiator hose. I haven’t looked at this any further, and hope it’s...

I see that Kubota has the new <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.kubotagrandl30.com/>GrandL 30</A> website up and running. Jim

Went camping/boating/skiing over the weekend w/ family and friends and tore my rotator cuff while riding on one of those stupid tubes. Dr confirmed the tear but I still need an MRI to see how much damage. According to doc, surgery is likely. Anyone ever done this, if so, how long was your...

I started to really use the Woods GTO tiller that I got back in the early summer. When the dealer dropped it off, he said it was ready to go. I used it a couple of times when I got it, nothing to heavy. Well, the last time I used it for about 3 hours and I noticed that some of the gear oil from...

Ok guys, how does one size a fuse for a particular application. I've got a sprayer w/ a pump that pulls 7amps. I'm wiring up a switch and want to put in an inline fuse. How do you decide what size fuse you should use ??? Jim

Yesterday afternoon, a semi truck plowed into the back of a Missouri Department of Transportation worker who was mowing. By the pictures on the news last night, it's amazing that the tractor operator was not killed. After hitting the tractor, the truck ran off the road and nearly hit a...

Our local news some time ago started reporting Growing Degree Day units during the ag report. Can someone explain how they come by those numbers and what they mean ??? Jim

Old Kubota\'s as restoration projects ... My neighbor restores older JD L&G tractors. He usually restores them to like new condition, uses them for awhile, then sells or trades for another project. This got me to thinking if anyone thought that the older Kubota's would make an interesting...

Just wondering how the available tire sealers I've seen (Slime and others) really work. I avoided this area is the past w/ my JD L&G and now that I've got the BX, I want to clean it up a bit. I'll have to cut down about a half dozen Osage Orange trees and the thorns will invariably find there...

I pulled the MMM off last night for the first time since I got my BX last week. Basically just wanted to see how easy it was to take off and put back on. While I had it off, I decided to clean it up a bit. In another post I read where you should grease the MMM after about 10 hours of use. So...

First off I want to thank you guys and your vast knowledge. I recently replaced an old JD L&G with a new BX1800. My question is about the 3pt. When it was delievered, it had my Woods GTO40 tiller attached. Since the first activity was mowing, I removed the tiller. No problems.. Went to put the...

I just returned from my local dealer. I've been considering a BX2200 / 60" deck, but today my delaer tells me Kubota is offering a $300 rebate on the BX1800 w/54" deck. Since I will use the tractor for primarily mowing, I'm not sure if I can pass up the deal on the BX1800. He quoted a price of...
