There is an ENTIRE thread on this forum JUST for fuel cans!! I use a basic plastic can, it doesn't have GPS or touch screen display-I have to tip it until the fuel starts to flow and then tip it back to stop the flow. It's totally Manual. FWIW I always wanted to meet the 3 Handed man who designed the fuel cans like the one you bought. Happy Gilmore, there are several SE Mass guys here-Robert Barker is also from the area. Cheers, BN

Yep, I'm on the Northshore though. Don't know if you saw this yet but with the snow today we officially broke the record for snowiest winter ever recorded in Boston.

There seems to be a few ?? is the $20 one good or get a $50?? is this needed??

Not"needed" but handy. You will probably find you want a funnel of some kind to fill the tank easier and this Mr. Funnel filters out water and other junk from the fuel before it can get into your fuel system. The 3 model is fine for a BX.

I got my new 2370 2 weeks ago. Hoping for spring so I can get out and use it. Here is a picture of my new tractor. The second picture is how I solved some of my storage problems. After winter I'll remove the MMM and put my back blade on top.

Nice set up and storage rack! But I can't stand to see pics of clean garages and floors you can eat on.

I just don't see how you can use it and also keep it clean that way. :confused3: Mine is a mess... from benches, shelves, to floor!

Dfran1, I think either of the two lesser priced filters will work for you, I have a 3, after using it I dump the fuel left in the filter into a jar and examine it for contaminants. I use the same filter for both gas and diesel.

Hi all,
It has been a long wait for me, and I think next week is the delivery

I took a peek after work yesterday, and the cab looks great, of course they are putting all my options on, the dealer is even excited to see the outcome.

The 3rd control option (for left and right hydraulics of the blade) the added to my stick (FEL loader control ??) and that came out perfect.

They are going to weld hooks or ?? on the loader bucket for me for free, that was great.

I need to build some of those dollies that some posted here or in this forum. I also purchased a removable front guard that I need to add, and looking at the log hitch or just hitch for the rear from earth&Turf.

They had my lights on but nothing permanently wired yet, lots more time needed to put this all together for sure

Hi,
I took delivery friday, and I was just so shocked at the size, I forgot to move a vehicle out of the garage door rear liftback and crunch, yup I put a small dent in my vehicles hatch, I moved it there so we would not dent the front, well just my luck.
Yes it has a sensor, but the sensor is lower than the bumper.

It was a good day and bad at the same time, I also broke my cell phone belt clip, and something else that I can't remember and most likely better off not, nothing bad with the tractor at all. I put on my front grill and rear hitch.

Anyway that was friday.
Saturday I learned a lot, almost damaged the tractor, but nothing bad at all, just a great learning experience for sure.
I moved some piles of sticks and leaves that I raked during the week, all went great!
Sunday, today, I moved some logs and piles of rankings, sprayed some white lithium grease on nuts and bolts and areas of minor scrapes (as the dealer keeps these outside, no room inside).

I ordered some hydraulic caps and plug protectors, to keep dust out of the 3rd hydraulic option hookup.

On friday I filled my 5 gallon can with 2oz optilube and fuel, so latter in the day I topped my tank off and used that funnel you all told me to get, wow I found some type of metal pieces or ?, they were goldish looking ball types, I thould I would never find anything in it, boy am I glad some of you told me to get that (I don't think it was from my metal fuel can, as I don't see any gold type metal on it).

I played with the quick hitch, one side is a little stiff with the pin, I hope it gets a little looser as time goes on.

What a wonderful piece of machinery, I should have purchased this years ago.
