    My BX-24 has 175 hours on it. I found a large puddle of hydraulic oil on the floor of my garage this morning where I keep it parked. I put it up on ramps, and crept under it to see what might be going on. The entire transmission in the vicinity of the filter is wet with oil. It's soaked in...

    Garage Floor Drip Pan Recommendations?

    I'm looking for a drip pan approximately 5'x10' the will catch snow melt off my tractor and snow thrower. Here's the caveat: I use chains, so the material has to resist tearing. There are several brands that use a thin plastic poly liner, but I don't think it will last long with the chains...

    No Front PTO, but Front/Rear OK

    This morning we received our first plowable snowfall, so I was anxious to try the new BX2750D snowthrower which has been mounted to my BX24 since early November. Threw open the garage doors, started it up, and hit the PTO......nothing! Cycled the control lever a few times, still nothing! Set...

    BX2750D Snowthrower operational questions...

    I mounted my new snowthrower to my BX24 today. I have a couple of questions with regards to its operation. 1) Is it best to allow the snowthrower to "float", or should down pressure be applied? 2) When the snowthrower is engaged, it's pretty noisy while it's running. I don't think there's any...

    Look what the tractor place left me!

    BX2751 Sub Frame.... is this bend normal?

    I got my sub frame out today in preparation for the arrival of the snowthrower. I noticed that one of the "rings" that will hold the shaft assembly appears to be bent. I took a picture of it looking directly down on it. Is that the way it's suppose to look? The sub frame is used and came...

    I currently use a Kubota 2763A plow with the subframe aka. the Quick Hitch. I recently ordered the BX2750D Snowthrower and PTO kit. I got a message from the dealer saying they want me to drop off the hitch so they can "install" the front PTO on it. Never seeing a complete snowthrower...

    Problem getting BT601 backhoe out of storage

    My BT601 backhoe has been off my BX24 and sitting on a dolly since early winter. Today, I rolled it out to use it and I ran into a problem. I couldn't attach any of the hoses. They wouldn't engage completely. It appeared that the "valve stems" on each hydraulic connector was frozen tight...

    BXpanded Backhoe Dolly review....

    I use my tractor for mowing all summer, so in late spring, I set the backhoe at the edge of my woods where weeds begin to grow up around it. I often put off chores which involve using it only because it's pain to get on and off in the uneven terrain. So this year I decided to leave it on my...

    BX exhaust exit options?

    My BX24 arrived with the little exhaust tip point back towards the rear. This got soot on the cowling. This past week after a thorough soaking in PB Blaster, I freed the tip and pointed it forward. Now it's getting soot on the brush guard. I'm thinking a chrome stack would look great , and...

    Can anyone tell me how good (or bad) the grass collection attachment is on the BX24? Could it replace a Cyclone Rake? I've got the green light for the tractor and mowing deck, but wondering if it's worth getting the collection system too.
