BX25 First Impressions From A Novice

[JOHNTHOMAS]

There is an option right next to the Quote Button to activate multi-quote (quotation mark picture with a plus sign). Go through the posts and click the multi-quote button. After you activate the last post you want to quote, just hit the quote button and it will do the work for you. I just learned this myself recently on another forum. Saves time and avoids double and triple posting!

Good question, me.

Alright sir, do you know why I pulled you over? Let me see your poster's license and tractor registation...
My test also.


This place is great because everybody's got something to teach as well as learn.

I hope to learn some thing new everyday. This today.

All the time on this board and I never noticed those two boxes beside the quote button. Thanks, JT

I just had to try it and make sure it works. Today has been a successful today, if this works.
It did so undoubtably a successful day.

I forgot to add that I also had the low branches issue when I first got the BX. At first I would fold the rops, it was a pain with it acting ling a wing ready for takeoff. Going under trees would still get caught. (ready ROP's police?) I took the top half of ROPS off and mowed like that for awhile and it solved my problems for a bit. When I needed to install rops lights for night time plowing, I put it back on and just went out and cut ALL branches that were too low. My wife commented that the trees looks better with branches up higher with space underneath. Wished I did that when I first got my BX.

Yeah, my trees need a good pruning anyway, so now might be the time to do it. I'd rather just leaves the ROPS up, even if the safety factor is relatively small for my property. Too bad I can't mount my chainsaw to the top of the ROPS and have it cut everything in it's way. That sounds safe, huh?

I have a yard roller, made out of plastic, metal ones are better. I can't remember what I paid for it, but I think it was less than $100.

I agree, the deck is akward to remove, not difficult, just akward.

oy oy! I don't even want to think about it! :laughing:

 

[keyman1808]

You mean that I am suppossed to put the ROPS up?? Now I know what those flashing blues lights were behind me...Safety Police.

 

[Inky05]

I wonder how many of the ROPS-thumping safety police actually wear their seat belt... 'cause if you ain't got it on, the ROPS is just another thing that can crush you!

I don't believe in seat belt laws... or bicycle helmets either...:shocked:

I'll see you in safety prison

Hey dodge man, I was gonna pick one of those up. Why do you figure the metal ones are better than the plastic? Plastic can't rust...are the metal ones heavier?

 

[radioman]

tractor factor- I had one of those poly ones- Until one day I was filling it upright and dropped it. Cracked the poly roller. can you say pissed!? Ended up taking a old air compressor tank and made a roller out of it, smaller then the poly one I had. Better then nothing right ? right now I don't know if I should get a metal roller or a overseeder. (you can blame john thomas for that one) :laughing:. i bought the poly roller thinking it will never rust and I'll just drian it every year.

Hmmmm- I just thought of something while typing this- maybe I should've filled the poly roller with rimgaurd (beet juice) and be done with it.:thumbsup: heavier then water, won't freeze. Now I know I'm kicking myself!
