I am looking for advice and help on creating a decorative waterfall and catch pond. My intent is to carve a bowl at the top of the rock pictured where I can pump the water to and have it fall into a catch pond below. My intent is to leave as much of the natural rock showing as possible. My...
I am looking for some feedback on a project I am considering. My home was just placed on town sewer and is allowing people to reuse their septic tanks as cisterns for irrigation purposes. I already collect all my roof runoff and carry it to daylight on a low part of my property. I am fortunate...
Well, after 3 years and 170 hours, the bx23 needs to go. I bought it to do work on my 2/3 acre, but ended up hiring the work out. My kids ended up taking all my time. I am having a hard time bringing myself to putting it on the market as there are tons of things I could do, but its just to heavy...
My driveway is not large, maybe 15x40. The surface is mostly clay. When its dry, its hard, but when it gets wet after a rain, it ruts and gets muddy. Can I add/mix anything to it to get it to firm up? I regraded it last month to fix some puddling but that just made it worse as I made it less...
I have 2 payments left on my BX23 (168 hours)! Sadly, that means it's out of warranty too. I currently have the following problems:
1. Broken air filter mount. I know, common.
2. electrical: the machine is left out doors and all 3 rocker switches are having problems. The blinker switch keeps...
Are the hyrdaulic fittings on the boom cylinders threaded into the cylinder or welded? I bent mine so now the coupling is rubbing the cylinder. I tried to remove the fitting, but it would not budge, and did not put so much pressure on it that I would snap it off if welded. Can I just bend it...
Well, I purchased my BX-23 for my 2/3 acre property. It was covered with rock and stone walls and had drainage issues. Well, the work is drawing to a close. This spring, the lawn goes in and my wife has dictated I cannot drive the tractor over "her" new lawn.
The BX has served me well, and I...
I have one nipple that will not take grease. It is the left/right piston for the Back Hoe Boom. I removed the pin to attempt a fix and it was very dry. I tested the nipple, and the grease appeared in the sleave without a problem. I cleaned it up and placed it back in, but I still cannot get...
I thought I was charmed. I went through last season (100 hours) with none of the reported problems people post here. But in the last two months, I have had two!
The Air filter bracket broke. Instead of fixing, and fixing, and fixing, I opted for a $2.00 rubber tie down and wrapped it up, works...
I am trying to remove a rather large stump with my subcut tractor and need to cut the roots at the stump. It is growing over a rock so the roots are visible, and rock is underneath. Using a chain saw proves difficult, so I was trying to think creativley.
I guess I have doubts about this, thus...
I am considering a box blade and landscape rake to redo my lawn. I need to regrade and back fill with yards of material and want to save my back in leveling it all out. Sure, its only 1/2 acre, but still, thats alot to do by hand, plus, I want to use the tractor.
I am looking at the Cat 0...
This falls more under repair it yourself. I have a Home depot 22 ton bottle jack that is not working. This is a Husky. The thing is a couple of years old, and has not seen alot of use.
I went to use it the other day, and it would not jack or hold a load. After some diagnosis, it appears the...
Does anyone know where I can find on-line pricing for BX-23 implements? I am sort of a tire kicker and only toying with the idea purchasing a few, but don't want to start calling dealers for woods, kubota, (any others?)
Specifically, I am thinking a box blade for the bx-23. I need to get fill...
