brandy new BX23 (questions)

[gsxr1100]

I do not recommend it but I do not say it is wrong either. It comes down to what people fell ok/comfortable with. Some people yes, some people no.

No one is responsible since we are not forcing anyone to do anything. People who do things in life can only blame themselves since they do/did it! If someone has a problem, they have no one else to blame but themselves. I get tired of the political BS. We are all grown people here & not in pre-school. If I said jump in front of a car and they do it is not my fault.

People are responsible for there own actions.

<font color="blue"> </font> One last suggestion: "The main "short-coming" of the BX that I have found so far is that when digging out stumps the backhoe will pull the tractor towards the stump before it'll pull the stump out of the ground. I have found that one technique to minimize this is to curl the FEL bucket as far forward as it will go such that when it is lowered to the ground it will have the edges of the FEL dig into the ground slightly. My BX23 came with a tooth-bar that was not on the tractor when I got it and I haven't put it on yet (my larger Kubota FEL has the tooth-bar installed)."

<font color="black"> </font> I had experienced this problem as well, not only working around stumps, but just trying to dig in harder ground.

To rectify this, I had the rear tires filled with rimguard..... man did that make a HUGE difference by getting say an additional 100-150 lbs on the stabilizers. Heck it worked so well, I decided to fill the front tires as well so there is a few more lbs on the front when the loader bucket is lowered. Since most of my digging has been in the yard, I have avoided curling the fel to full dump, as to not scar up the lawn as much, with the tires filled I have not had a problem.

I am running the turf tires, and havent found and issue with the addtional weight leaving any tracks or ruts in the lawn when mowing... /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

All this is true until they get hurt and can no longer work. Then they hire an attorney that convinces them that "someone or everyone" else is at fault and that person or persons should pay no matter how insignificant they are related to the original incident. In todays irrational environment, just the mere suggestion could cause you to become a party to the action. Forget the fact that you only made a suggestion and might not be found responsible, you still have to pay to defend yourself. You call it political BS.... I call it REAL WORLD REALITY. That is why everyone here is afraid to put a small hole or weld onto their ROPS. No question in my mind that doing so isn't going to cause sever weaken of the ROPS, but everyone including myself cautions against doing it. Why???? It has nothing to do with forcing and all to do with advising. As for the politically correct statement, your statement </font><font color="blue" class="small">( "I do not recommend it but I do not say it is wrong either.

It can get flip-flopped also. Prove someone posted anything? Again, it is hard to prove since how do you know it was any person in question? Prove that the password was not stolen. Lets see the IP address? Even these things are not 100%. You can even use a “ghost” IP severs. Prove it was a suggestion; it was merely posting of what one person does. It is not advising as you state. It someone does it. it is there issue.

If you used that perspective, I can sue everyone that ever showed me anything (teachers, parents) posted on any forum (ie TBN under projects, how too's, Build-It Yourself etc) or told me.

Again, if someone brings in legal issues since THEY did it, they should not own a tractor and needs to act for their actions. Again, another reason why the legal system is a total waste of funds.

If anyone is worried about legal issues with this forum, then the forum should be closed, along with all forums. If anyone has to worry about anything they post, then we all should not be posting anything. Again, it goes both ways.

Also you can put one hole or a few in a ROPS without any damage. Just do some small calculations in stress, cross sectional area vs material and you can see what the results are. Not rocket science. Figure out of FOS and you are good to go.
