BX25 break in period

[TripleR]

Thanks RRR and JT. I am new to this game and just want to learn as much as possible in a quick time before I do something stupid. I know stupid will come but just trying to put it off for awhile. :confused3:

You are more than welcome, John has owned a bunch of those types of tractors and has helped me, do the search function and pull some of his old threads on maintenance etc., they are very easy to maintain and you will be surprised at how much you can accomplish with one, I have no experience with the back hoes, John has owned two.

You might also be interested in some of the modifications made by 4shorts and 94BULLITT.

Your owner's manual will recommend that you don't run at top rpm for the first 50 hours. I kept my BX25 a click under 3K rpm for the first 50. It's running fine, over 300 hours later.

Sorry Kub39... didn't mean to hijack your thread. I am excited about my new BX and glommed on to your post. Sounds like one should just use the thing, don't floor it, and take it easy with various speed for a while and don't worry about it!

Not to worry dragoneggs, I'm learning no matter what the discussion is. Got 48.3 hours on the tractor now. I've parked it and going to get filters and oil on Saturday for the first scheduled maintenance. It will be a fun day of greasing (for at least the 10th time) and cleaning it up nice and checking air filters. Then back into the yard for a couple hours of mowing.

You may want to go thru this thread before doing your 50 hour service or any of your service if your doing it yourself or even to see how easy it is for your dealer to do for the amount they are charging you and then you'll do it yourself.:laughing:
