My new T1570 lawn tractor has a decal on the engine that says 'KUBOTA hydraulic valve lifters' on it. Also the oil filter says 'Kohler' on it. Does Kohler build this engine for Kubota and do all Kohler engines have hydraulic lifters? This is a 15 hp single and is extremely quiet. Dean

Hey everyone. Last summer I bought a Toro GT. I have had a few problems with it. About a month ago I took it to my dealer to resolve a hard starting problem and it is still there. Seems the compression release is not working. Toro said the parts are on back order. This machine only has 14 hours...

Last year I planted twenty cedars along my property line. They survived the winter but they don't look very healthy. I just bought a dozen more that I am going to plant tomorrow. I hope to surround my whole lot this year. I have a corner half acre lot with no privacy. I think that when the...

Here are some pics of my new atv. I considered getting a utv until I found this machine. Its a Sportsman X2 500 EFI. It has a small dump box and converts from single rider to two rider in 10 seconds. It also has turf mode which unlocks the rear diff. Pic 1 single seat

I decided to get out of the lawn cutting and post hole drilling business this year. I have too much work to do around my own place and there is just not enough hours in a day. I only have a half acre lot so I couldn't justify keeping the BX for that amount of grass. Here is what I bought. First...

please disregard this is just a test

My dealer has a demo Treker 4x4 in stock with 40 hrs on it. It has a 20 hp Honda v twin in it. It seems comparable to a gas mule except it has 4 wheel independent suspension. This one has turf tires which I want. He wants 8900 Canadian plus tax. Is this a good deal? I can buy a new Mule 610 4x4...

Does anyone know if this is a good machine? I'm looking at buying one just to cut my grass and pull a small sweeper and broadcast spreader. Thanks Dean

My MMM and 3PH implements (PHD and blade) won't lift all the way to the full height on the first attempt. I need to return the lever to the middle position and try two or three times to get the full lift. Is this normal? The UDT is right at the full mark. I have 110 hrs on the machine and it's a...

I'm looking to buy a Post hole digger for my BX1500. I went to my dealer to look into a Land Pride PD10 which is sized for sub cuts. My dealer claims it won't fit my machine but will fit the 18 and 22 hp BX's. He says because my tractor has 2 inch smaller tires the phd will not clear the ground...

I picked this up from my dealer today. It's off a Curtis trailer hitch mount sand spreader. I want to use the TPH to adjust the height of my tow behind sweeper. It should work fine for that. Dean

Can anyone tell me the size of the turf tires on the current model TC21? Dean

I just used my 5 foot rear blade to clear my driveway and two 500 foot pedestrian walkways. We got about 10 inches of heavy wet snow overnight. It got colder this morning and the snow really hardened up. I'm very impressed with the little BX1500. Last year I used a 4 foot TPH snow blower and I...

Does anyone have the front quick attach blade on their BX? If so, could you post a couple pics of the unit and the mount along with the pros and cons of this unit. Right now I'm going to get some seat time clearing snow out of the drive. Yes I know it's only Nov 8th. Dean

I just did the first service on my BX 1500. The manual said to change the engine oil and filter, Trans oil and filter, MMM gear box oil, grease battery terminals and various grease nipples on the MMM. I also retorqued the wheel nuts. Questions: Should I do anything now that is not stated in...
