I have a Bad Boy Lightning (54"?) with suspension. It rides nice, cuts good , goes fast, and has been very reliable (2.5yrs). Liquid cooled Kawasaki. I felt it was the most mower for the money. Only complaint- it doesn't like hills (typical of ZTR's) Jason

I recently purchased a Bad Boy 54" Lightning Z (suspension). It is my first zero turn mower, and I like it a lot. My mowing technique is improving, but I still have difficulty tearing up the turf when thin or damp or on hills. My question is this. Would a bar type tire be better than the turfs...

My Dad is semi-retiring from farming. He is selling his large ag equipment and will be putting about 200 acres into a conservation program (hardwood trees) His main uses for the tractor will be mowing/spraying the 200 acres, planting and maintaining a small food plot, misc. loader work. His...

The only way this relates to tractors is that I have a lot of tractor pictures! Basically, what I'm wondering is what is the safest way to backup my pictures, files, etc. I have a laptop with an 80gig hard drive. My wife has organized our family pictures, and we currently have about 6gig worth...

Does anyone with a 4110/46BH have a problem with their tires rubbing on the subframe mounts when turning hard? I installed the BH myself, and I can't seem to keep this from happening. I even tried to turn the brackets around( which makes the pins nearly impossible to put in!) but the tire still...

I had an interesting experience today. I was taking a loader full of gravel down a steep hill, not wearing my seatbelt. Everything was fine until the tractor died! Needless to say I had a few tricky moments trying to decide which levers/pedals/etc. to push/pull first. Got it stopped, and...

What size logs are worth something to someone? I am clearing land for a barn and will be removing 5-6 cherry trees. They are fairly straight and about 10"-14" diameter. Do you think someone would ghive me something for them or should I just cut them up for firewood. I would love to have a...

In case anyone is interested- there is a 46BH for a 4110 (or 4115,2520) on ebay. I just bought mine new (bummer!) so I don't guess I'm interested. It's in Michigan. 46 BH on ebay

Has anyone installed their 46BH themselves? I just bought one (supposed to be in May 1st), and couldn't see paying ~$500 to have it installed. I may regret it, but I kind of like to really understand things and I've found I learn the most by doing! I have a power beyond kit I need to install...

Well, I am finally about ready to shell out the bucks for a 46BH for my 4110. I need opinions from owners of these as to which size bucket would be best. (9" or 13") I know answers will vary based on type of work/soil conditions, but I don't know yet what all I'll use it for. I know I have...

I just finished making a quick attach for a snowplow for my JD 4110. I recently installed a diverter valve, so I will control the angle with that. I picked up a somewhat abused 7' Western (I think) snowplow locally for $100. I cut it down to 5' I bought some hooks and pins from JD to make...

I recently completed a grapple setup on my JD 4110. I purchased the grapple from Andy Tatro. I fabricated a mount to attach it to my bucket. I bought a Fasse diverter valve that came with a momentary switch that I mounted to my loader joystick. Special thanks go to kennyd whose setup I...

First, I admit I borrowed heavily from others here on TBN, especially MadReferee and Barnboy. Second, I have yet to try them out, so don't know how or if they work. But here they are.

Here are the worlds most expensive bucket hooks. (Don't look at the welds to closely!)

I'm thinking about purchasing an air compressor for my shop. Does anyone have suggestions about things to avoid or look out for? I'm just starting my research and thought the experts could help out. Thanks! Jason
