What is best practice when checking fluid level on bx. FEL cylinders retracted and bucket flat on ground and 3pt down?

Installed at factory. I don't think I would have burned anything up since it was still fused but my LED light would not work the way it was wired since LED's are polarity sensitive.

It ended up being wired wrong at outlet.

Just picked up a BX2380 and noticed that my 12v accessory outlet polarity is backwards. Positive is on the side terminal and negative is the center one. Is this normal for this plug? Has anyone else checked theirs?

My neighbor just picked up a used 2002 B700 and wonder what the circled symbol means on his switch in the pic. It will not move to that position and wonder if it is only used with an option? Also not sure if the center portion which is a button is supposed to do anything?

I am trying to find a cheap way to keep my legs warmer while plowing snow. Every time I'm out there plowing my legs start to get cold from sitting. I wear a pair of long johns and the wind after a while bites right threw them. I'm looking for a cheap supplement to my long johns and I have read...

One quick question. When I cleaning my drive yesterday I was going backwards (not fast) and my blade caught the lip of my cement apron where it changes from gravel to cement. Now I didnt damage anything as I wasnt going fast but I did notice that when the blade caught, the three point arms...

Still no snow in my area in MI!! Haven't turned the key in two months on my bx. I need some seat time. Every time they call for some snow we get only a few flakes.

What is the biggest snowstorm anybody tried to move with only a front loader and back blade on their BX? In other words did you tackle 6",8", 10", etc, etc at one time. Pic's welcome.

I have two quick questions. First, it doesn’t look like there are any zerk fitting to grease the front drive shaft u-joints. Is this because it doesn’t turn fast when in use? Are they a sealed u-joint? Second, is there a zerk fitting for the front axle pivot?

Has anybody ever installed a suspended ceiling in there garage/pole barn. I thinking of doing this to mine with 8'ceilings. If you have could you show some pics.

This maybe a hard question to answer but I will try to describe it the best I can. Four days ago we had an ice storm (1/2 inch) then a little rain then snow. I was checking the area around my pole barn the next day and noticed on one area (north side) of the siding there was a little (not big)...

This stinks!! My bx has been idol for ten weeks now. I think I am going to put the deck back on.

I just realized I poured the gray bottle power service in my containers before getting them filled. Since I already added the gray (diesel kleen) bottle is it all right to add some out of the white bottle for anti gel protection?

I planted some jalapeno peppers (first time for me) on memorial day weekend and now have a bunch that are about 3 to 4 inches long. I went and picked one and it just tasted like a bell pepper (no heat at all). Am I to early? Do they have to mature longer? What’s the trick?

I am a little new at using a draw bar. I want to install a draw bar with a 2” ball so I can move my trailer around the yard. I’m assuming this would work? I also want to put a hook on there so I am able to drag some brush. Am I able to use a drawbar and my 3pt hitch this way. Will it hurt...

I know this was brought up before but I need refreshing. 1. Is there a difference between off road diesel and on road diesel other then the red dye? Does off road have higher sulfur content, if so does this make a difference? 2. What is the shelf life of diesel fuel with and without adding a...

I have 35 hrs on my bx now and its almost wintertime and I figure I will put about 15 to 20 hours on it during the winter. I dont feel like doing a 50hr serv in the cold(no heated garage) Do you think its all right to go over 5hrs before I do the service. This way I can do it in the spring time
