frank_f15 this saefty feature is good but I just wondered if there was a way to start IN GEAR with PARKING brake on.

Plus the dislikes are because I need to just spend more time on the machine getting used to it! Good reason for more time I guess, I just need to let the wife know. She already thinks I spend WAY to much time outside now.

My B7500 will start with the tractor in gear as long as the clutch is depressed and the pto is in neutral. Does the BX series not work the same way? If not, why did they make them different? /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

She thinks you spend too much time outside now ?...Wait until you start your tractor in gear and it rolls over you 'cause you weren't in the seat and disabled the safety features. Possible dirt-nap time.

I'll echo the concerns of some others, learn to live with the safety features where-ever possible, don't defeat them.

TBN is a growing community...we'd like to keep it that way. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

The BX doesn't have a clutch, it has a hydraulic independent PTO. The PTO lever has to be in the off position for the engine to start though.

I understand what you are saying but I just wanted to know if I could start my BX22 in gear with brake on. I like most safety features but companies go way "over board" for the nuts who do the weirdest things then sue. Like the **** who trimmed his bushes with a walk behind mower! Yup, he pick up the mower and used it to mow the hedges....

It is almost as bad as the killer who kills people and sue the gun manufacture! Can you say...nut

If I shot someone with my Glock or Bushmaster I would never sue a gun company. As in the guy who played "Jaws" in 007 said, Guns do not kill people, people kill people /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I figure it is my tractor and I can enable or disabled any feature I see fit. I would not make a big deal out of it. Just a "grey" area

gsxr1100:

The reason thay they don't allow is goes like this: when the clutch is disengaged, there is no chance of drive power getting through as you start. With a hydrostatic, if the control pedal were pressed, the brake is in a contest to see if the hydro drive or brake wins. In low range, unless you push really hard on the brake pedal, the hydro will win and it will move. So a brake interlock would not provide the required lawyer-proof security. So neutral is the safest bet. My old tractor would allow you to start if the hydro lever was centered. It had a detent position so that you knew you were centered, but that would be hard with the pedal control.

gsxr1100,
now that you have the bota, your going to have to paint the gxsr orange to match! Isn't it amazing how completely opposite the high revving, low torque cycle engines are from the low revving, high torque diesels? But your gixxer probably makes 130hp where as your bota makes what...22hp? BTW I'm a cycle buff too, I've got the new Triumph TT. Have fun with both and be careful moving that tractor around while not actually on it.
-D

I only move the tractor (when not complety on it) when disconnecting the backhoe.

Oh, My gsxr makes around that amount of HP. I wanted a turbo to make around 250 HP but the wife says no /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif She says I am not allowed to go over 200 mph. I had a ninja and crashed it because some old lady was not looking when turning. So that bike was gone.
