My last purchase one year old BX18xx now has 25 hours so may need to read my old post to see how to service it when time comes. Spent last few days at Barlows trying to spend money and alas I did. Only $2600 for a tiller, paid for but not delivered and considered a z turn but right shoulder...

One of my best posts and viewed and appreciated by many. Still many BX owners out there doing their own fluid and filter service, very simple job for the slightly agile.

I finally just went ahead and poured in the bottle of John D red dye before selling the tractor.

Finished mowing season on that tank of fuel and bought a potato plow to dig up more front yard to double size of flower bed and back yard for next years garden. Topped off fuel tank with about 4 gallons of fuel. Sold most implements except box blade, 6' Woods finish mower, stump bucket and rock...

Ha Ha Ha. It could have been me but alas isn't. :) Sold the MX5400 to a buddy (The one that I sold the single bottom moldboard plow you traded to me and he's lost it to a borrower) and sold some implements and some left to sell. Yeah, still kicking and back to another BX. I've mowed 7 hours with...

:) :) Not a typing error. I've bought over 200 personal use cars and trucks since 1964 so there are guys like me that like to "Trade" hunting for that perfect machine or just like trading and guys like you that get what you like and keep it. :) Guess we both keep the manufacturing industry in...

WIW! You guys are going way back, that was my 2nd of 32 Kubotas and it was a parts manual, not a shop manual. It was also about 4 computers ago and I no longer know how to locate it Sorry.

Moved from large lot to a small lot in town. I just used it for large home lot landscaping and maintaining a old logging road on my 25 acre mountain behind my house.

John Thomas (Me) has a MX5400 HST he bought new a couple of years ago and now has 130 hours on it for sale for $31,500 ready for immediate pick up in Somerset, Ky.

ZG gone and Barlow done sold it. It ran out of gas on me again!!! BX1880 now on property with full tank of fuel which should get me thru most of the mowing season. Reduced price to $31500 for the MX5400 before taking it to the Farm Equipment Auction in June.

I posted on local Facebook marketplace and still no buyer. Couple interested talkers.

Haven't rec'd the BX yet. Have had to mow with the ZG 3 times and it is now sitting in my back yard dead, ran out of gas!!! Must not have been full when I got it or gas hog. Will get a gallon today to finish yard this 3rd mowing and get after my dealer about that delivery. I happen to have 5...

Had a gas one and it was cool but don't think it comes in diesel or with a 3ph hydraulics.

Well, I'm having to eat my words, again. My #31 gas ZG is a problem with my limited range now with my shoulders sooooo back to Barlows today to get one with a steering wheel and looks like it will be a BX1880 after talking with Steve Barlow and a quick drop in look Saturday. I did my first and...

Me to George. As Mark Twain once said "I believe the announcement of my death has been greatly exaggerated" and I do appreciate those who are glad I'm not dead. :)
