    Bx2380 hydraulic hose rubbing mmm belt

    Just like the title says, my mower belt has rubbed a spot on these 2 hoses. Obviously, it would only happen when I'm mowing with the deck all the way up, which is rare. But, it does happen. I bought this new last year. My bx1800 that I had for almost 18 years never had this issue. I'm...

    Digging drainage ditch through the woods

    I need to have a ditch dug on the side of my property for drainage, and unfortunately, it needs to go through a wooded area. I was thinking a renting the small excavators they rent at home depot. The couple of contractors I've had look at it have all said, due to the roots, those small units...

    It was a rainy day, so...

    I figured I'd go ahead and paint it. Turned out pretty good, but i probably went a little overboard. It's roughly 650lbs, almost 10 60lb bags of concrete and some rebar. It's amazing what adding additional weight does for working the tractor.

    Guess I'm calling the dealer

    Brand new bx2380. Has about 15 hours on it. Just removed the fel about a week ago, for the 1st time. Just spent about 1.5 hours trying to get it back on. I'm doing it inside my garage, which is about as level as i can get. The left side will hook up, but the right isn't anywhere close. The more...

    Homemade ballast

    Finally got around to my homemade concrete barrel. I started with a 30 gallon barrel and 10 60lb bags of concrete. Had about 4 feet of chicken wire that i wrapped up and set in barrel. I ran drawbar through the wire. Also had 2 2ft pieces of rebar bent in a v, through the holes on the...

    what rpm for loader work?

    ok guys, this is a newbie question, so don't kill me. i've never had a loader so i'm just asking the experts. my last tractor, bx1800, when i would mow with the mmm, i would run the rpm wide open. it seem to cut better, and disperse the clippings the farthest. but on my bx2380, and i've seen on...

    HERE SHE IS-FINALLY

    it was official yesterday, signed everything yesterday morning and my baby was delivered yesterday afternoon. They forgot the grapple(how do you forget a big implement?), and brought that this morning. It's been pouring rain the last couple days, but during a break, i took her out and got a...

    Buying Advice  Prepping a new purchase

    What's the expected time frame? I told him on Monday 4/8 that i want to move forward. He ran my credit and was approved 4/9. Said would be ready the following week on 2/15 or 2/16. They had everything except the 3rd function which came in 4/11. Yesterday, without much reason, he says hopefully...

    Is this a new tractor?

    So, say you walked in today and bought a tractor. You tell the salesman you want a new xxxx model, front end loader, mid mount mower, however you want it set up. You go back and forth on numbers and eventually come to terms. You write him a check, sign the loan documents, however you pay for...

    Worksaver grapple scg-48

    Anyone have any experience with one of these? 200lb sub-compact grapple, looks to be very well made. Saw one at a local MF dealership. It was the 1st small one he's ever had. He didn't know much about it. Looks nice, though

    finally made my decision

    i think. i had pretty much decided to go with Barlow's. it came down to the bx2380 or the MF gc1705. i'm getting the front end loader, with QA, 60"mmm, r4 tires, and a 3rd function installed. Barlow's gave me a pretty incredible deal, but he is over 2 hours away. i spent all day yesterday at...

    Questions about new purchase

    Well, the time is now. Just sold my 17yr old bx1800. 1st guy who came and looked at it loaded it up. Now, I really need to get serious. Been to all the local dealers, and I think I've gotten all their best prices. I think I'm leaning going back with Kubota. I also emailed several dealers from...

    BX1880 yay or nay?

    Ok, been looking for a new subcompact for 6+ months. Checked out the bx2380, mf1705, and the rk24, all fit with a 3rd function. Also looked at the branson 2510, but that's probably bigger than i need, but ****, the branson is a heavy built tractor. I want to run a small grapple when not using...

    Is this a good price for bx2380?

    Looking to finally pull the trigger on a 2380 I've been looking at. It's a 2017 with only 17 hours. It has FEL, 54" belly mower, and running on r4's. I can probably get it for $13,000+ tax. What's really pulling me in, it has a 3rd function already installed by the dealer, and also a 54"...

    MF gc1723e

    A buddy of mine just let me know that MF, for 2019, is expanding the gc line with a 1723e. Anyone have any info on this new scut? What's the difference between this and the 1705? It's on their website, on the build my tractor portion, but they don't have any pics or info about tractor itself...

    New grapple for new gc1705?

    Does Massey team up with any particular mfg for a new grapple set up? Might be pulling them trigger on a new 1705 in the next couple of months, and when I do, plan on getting a small grapple with it. Just wondering what Massey sells along that line. Thanks in advance.

    Grapple  What's needed for a grapple?

    Self explanatory-will be buying a scut within the next 6 months with a fel. Really falling in love with the idea of also buying a small grapple with it. My questions is-when you swap out the bucket with the grapple, are the existing hydraulic connections not enough? Is that what the "3rd...

    Bx1800 steering problem

    Love this little tank, it's like the energizer bunny. It just keeps going and going. Now, the bad news. The steering is starting to act funny. I'm constantly have to turn my steering wheel, just to keep tractor straight. Sometimes, not all the times, I will have to turn it 360 just to keep...
