Thanks LBrown - that gave me what I needed to know. Found the pump on Northern.

Glad it helped.

So if you could tell engineers something that need to be changed about your bota what would it be. . .



For me it would be a LARGER fuel tank, i can only get 6 hrs on my rig.

and i don't like the oil fill plug. . . you would think it would screw on

and i don't like turning 2700 rpms to get full pto

It is no longer the engineers that are designing tractors. It is the lawyers and the court systems.

Add a loud alarm if you try to move the tractor with the brake on !!!

 

[Bota Time]

I would like: (in no particular order)
1. A button to be able to switch between tach & hrs.
2. Plastic covers for the zert fittings, it gets old cleaning them out before each lube.
3. I'd like to be able to swivel the seat to use the backhoe without having to get off the tractor.
4. A removable magnetic light bar with lights for the top of the ROPS; the headlights are about useless since the FEL bucket is usually in the way.
5. A hydraulic thumb.
6. Front tires that don't leak.
7. Toothbar on FEL.
8. Bucket hooks on FEL.

My BX25 has been a wonderful tractor, but there is always room for improvement, and I'm sure the price tag would have been a whole lot bigger if it included my want list.

Nice thread! There's more than enough information in here for someone to set up a nice aftermarket add-on manufacturing business.

Let's see...what would I actually buy for the M59....well, a vertical exhaust for sure. I'd be first in line for that one. An emergency brake buzzer - definitely. A height adjustment for the seat - already did that, but it could be improved. And I'd probably hang toolboxes and chain/shovel/hoe/saw holders all over the tractor if someone offered them.

Oh, and you'd think that a tractor with all that HP, hydraulics, and electrics could figure out some way to refuel itself in a manner that didn't involve climbing up on a front tire while hoisting a 5 gallon can of diesel sideways and snaking it under the loader arms. It makes me feel almost guilty when I watch my wife doing that....

You are a lucky Man to have such a loving wife

How about a step for the B3030?

 

[Machold]

Amen, to the option of wider stance!

Reduce the pucker factor on the B3030 with the option to have the rear wheels at a wider stance.

And yes, vertical exhaust pipe.

Otherwise, a great machine.
