    BX to Zero turn to b7800 to b2620 journey.

    So wanted to give my 2 cents on the ever popular bx vs. b debate on here and give you my personal experiences. I started with a BX 2230 loader/mower and loved it. Sold it because I got a great deal on a zero turn (Kubota zg223) and already had a b7800 for loader work. Well the zero turn was not...

    Power beyond and extra remotes + backhoe

    I had rear remotes added by my dealer and now I am questioning if this is going to be ok to do what I want. Please excuse if I do not use the right terminology for the parts They added the Kubota valve for an additional remote and the power beyon runs to this valve. I have quick disconnects but...

    L3400 hst pedal adjustment

    05 l3400 hst with about 200 hours on it. The hst peddle seems to need adjustment but cant seem to find anywhere to do so. Its sticking in forward and reverse. Does not want to "spring back" to neutral. No grease zerks to be found either. I see like a damper rod but doesnt seem to do anything?

    b3200 use bh75? and other questions (bx vs)

    Currently I have a bx2230 and a l3400 hst. Both have loaders, BX has 60 mower deck and the l3400 has a bh75 backhoe.

    Looking for a loader for my bx2230 and I see the capacity is pretty shabby around 500lbs. My buddy just bought a JD2305 which states lift capacity of 800lbs.

    bx2230 loader question

    I want to get a loader for the bx2230 but have a few questions. How much different design is it from the new loaders on the bx series? Will the controls stay on the tractor? Can I get it with a 4 way valve? How much should one expect to pay? Does the bucket have a quick attach option?

    BX issues/troubles?

    Bought a 2004 BX2230 with 134 hours on it and have a few questions concerns. The manual states that the hydraulic control lever will automatically go back to the neutral position. This one won't and just makes a relief valve like noise when left up. Secondly the hst peddle sticks in forward...

    Last week I posted about the dipperstick arm twisting on my BH75 backhoe with less than 10 hours on it. The second failure in a year.

    l3400 HST power questions

    My l3400 HST seems low on power, I guess I am looking for some reasurance. There are plenty of times when I could easily stall the engine in Low range at pto throttle doing loader work. I feel that with 34 HP I should be spinning the wheels. The terrain is usually a mud/clay with a fairly hard...

    What has everyone paid for their 7800 with FEL?

    Like the subject says, how much should I pay new less tax? 16600 is what the local dealer is asking.. How much off a typical MSRP price should I expect?

    790 how capable? Compared to others...

    I am ready to make a purchase, looking at four choices all around the same price range. JD 790, 4010, Kubota 7610 HST and Cub Cadet 6284 (Impressive numbers) Seems the 790 has the lowest lift capacity of all? yet its the largest. Is that true? The specs show the loader only capable of like...
