    Vertical storage of brush cutter

    I store my cutter against the wall every year, it works great and saves a lot of space in my garage. I just tip it up and use the 3 pt arms to keep it against the wall, I jamb a piece of 4x4 in the floor to hold it tight to the wall.

    Mowing with FEL and BH?

    Years ago when I got my BX I was a bit nervous to take the mower or FEL off, but the more you do it the easier/ faster it becomes. Now every week after mowing, I drop the mid mount mower, put the FEL on, attach my bxpanded skid plate ,connect the 48" cutter or box blade. Then I repeat the same...

    Tubing tires on BX

    I bought new tires for my bx2350. When they were mounting them on, they couldn't get the rears to not leak slowly. They tried a few times and then recommended tubes. I haven't had any problems with them since. On a side note, love the new turf friendly R4's. Better traction and don't tear up...

    Draw Bar on QH

    I have n Omni hitch, with the quick hitch it was too narrow. I could have got extra long pins and the the Speeco hitch pins add even more length, but it still wouldn't attach at the top without an adaptor or some grinding. I added extra long pins with Speeco pins to all my attachments to work...

    Bx 2350 dash panel

    My dash panel was kind of working last year. This year it wasn't. I took it out and made sure it was plugged in right. When I do that it works again, then I come out the next day and it's not working. I think I need to get a new dash panel. I wonder if the new 2370 panel would work or am I...

    New 3pt quick hitch

    I already had the Omni hitch for my bx, but when I got a quick hitch, I already had a drawbar and would've needed to figure out how to make it fit the new hitch. Instead I just bought something new from Omni to fit the quick hitch and bolt to my drawbar

    New 3pt quick hitch

    Got my new 3pt quick hitch from Norther Tool and a draw bar receiver from Omni all put together. I needed to get extended length pins for my King Kutter box scraper and rotary cutter. I also added Speeco quick hitch pins on to reduce the slop when attached.

    Snow Equipment Owning/Operating Pictures of your snow weapons

    Here are some picks from a few weeks ago. Normally I don't use my tractor during the winter, but I was out of town during this blizzard. When I got home drifts were too big and frozen to plow with ATV or use my snowblower. It sure takes a lot longer to move snow with a 48" bucket.
