I guess if something's gotta go wrong with the tractor, this is about as good a one to pick as any.....gauge or no gauge I'm not likely to run the thing dry.......maybe....and even if I did, the worst part would be hauling the can out to the tractor instead of the other way around.
Kyle: Shed's tight, for sure.....with 54" MMM, I have 3/4 inch clearance on either side.....and that's the fine-cut MMM which doesn't have a chute on the side......but still, the shed is a little bit bigger than it looks.....it's narrow but 30 ft long.....wider on the other end not in the picture. This side, with the little barn doors, was an add-on last year for my previous "tractor" (??) - Cub Cadet yard tractor.....pretty much useless machine except for cutting grass & hauling a small wagon. New shed, about to start construction, will attach to existing shed & will be finished by winter....bigger....20x15 addition (and wider doors!)....enough room to drop FEL & BH (onto roll-around dollys) and be able to mount MMM without having to hoist up front end of tractor to roll MMM under from front....right now, with all the stuff I have in there, the shed's too narrow for sliding it under from the side....but hey, this way I haven't had to pull the pins and turn the wheels.
Anyway, when the dealer services the BX, I'll find out how (or if) they fix the fuel gauge, and post the results.
