I love my 2-wheeler for moving in firewood. Stable even when loaded. Slime tubes or solid tires are a must.

Here's the result. The SS box on the left contains the relays and connections.

The best thing I've added to my BX is a front hitch. I bought a 4x6 dump/tilt trailer from craigs list for $400 and use it both around the house and also to pick up manure, mulch and gravel from the local ag supply. This trailer is so well balanced that I can unhook it from my truck spin it...

Both my BX2750D and front blade TG2754 need new wear edges. I looked up the part numbers, both called for 70060-03528 and I ordered one blade only. The new blade came and to my suprise appears to be powder coated black (why - it will just flake off when used) versus bare metal of the original...

I know this sounds a bit weird but I've always changed my own fluids, my BX now has ~600 hours. Usually the clean oil will turn black after a couple of hours use. But this time, it is staying much cleaner. I've put about 15+ hours on this oil change so far, mostly heavy snow blowing and winter...

Here's a couple of shots of my BX24 with OriginalCab hardtop cab with glass windshield. I built a joystick controller for the electric rotator (window motor) and deflector (12V linear actuator.) In the photo you can see the joystick mounted in a plastic project box that I sprayed with bedliner...

Sorry. I just spent too a lot of time writing a description and lost it when I went to add the image. So all you get is the image since I don't have the time to do it all over again. I will look back and respond later, too busy this am. This schematic will control one axis so you will need two...

My tip of the day: (It's not a big one) Since my mind doesn't remember things like last oil changes, now I write the hour reading at change directly on the oil filter, hst filter, air filter with a sharpie. It's peace of mind at a glance.

I purchased a BX skid plate called Under Armor for my BX24 from BXpanded. When I had trouble getting it to lock in the Top position, I emailed Harry and he stayed right on top of it until I was satisfied, emailing me every day with assistance. Turns out, all I had to do was to adjust the Top...

I went to oil the chain on my blower after a good workout over the last couple of days and noticed that the upper chain gear is missing both set screws. No wonder I suddenly started breaking shear pins on the fan. I looked down the threaded holes with a flashlight and can see a shiny spot from...

Here's a head scratcher? 2nd year with my BX2750 on BX24. This year, after using it an hour or two (mostly on float), it refuses to lift. I had the dealer stop by to check it out and he swapped the hyd cylinder and all was well in the garage. But after using it for an hour or two today, same...

Ok, I've been fighting this thing long enough. The BX 24 ROPS is too tall to get into the garage, constantly worried about taking out a wall with it. Yes, I know the tennis ball on a string trick to remind me too. So it has to fold to get in and out of the garage. But even outside I have to...

I picked up my KK TG48 tiller from TSC today (for my BX24) after ordering it during my local TSC opening sale (10%off). Man, this thing is heavy, it's really a beast. But it's also in a beast's clothing. The paint is horrible, very thick as well as soft and looks like they tossed sand over the...

Thank you everyone for advice on buying my new BX24. Now that it's here I've offically registered for TBN. I went after a BX25 (they had 3) but for $1700 less, it was a no-brainer. All mods/fixes were done: seat upgraded, floor-reinforced, etc. The jerky reverse is only in high-range and...
