I\'ll go first. . . . . .

Listing things to tell new owners to be aware of.
1. Don't put the gas cap on TOO tight, or it is next to impossible to get off without a strap wrench or something.
2.

4. Be sure to get used to that FEL "thingy" that sticks WAY out in the front of the tractor. If you're not careful, you can hit the trim on the side of the garage door when you're backing out. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif If this does happen, just make sure that when you put it back in, later in the day, to make a matching mark on the other side of the door /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif.

5. Don't figure that you can brush hog over a hose that is lying on the ground because you're sure that the brush hog is up several inches and won't catch it.

My trim on the garage got it with the FEL when I was turning around /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif.

I've got more - just decided to list the most recent one /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif...

6. don't leave the plastic flashlight under the tractor after doing maintenance. When you crush it pulling out the next day you'll scare the heck out of yourself and make a nice mess with the batteries. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif And as always, don't ask me how I know this.

Greg,
On my BX2200, if I completely curl the bucket, then lift it to almost waist high, I can see the front tips of the FEL Bucket from the seat.

If I don't, like when I was mowing last week, I found out you can punch a nice little "L" in the shed siding with the outside edges. I found out you can even do it TWICE in one day on the same side of the shed....... /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Now, I curl it in tight with buildings or stuff........

When you're mowing with a MMM and watching it closely, remember that you still have 3PT lift arms still lurking out back, just waiting to punch holes in the barn siding.
Remember to put the stands down for the loader if you are trying to remove it.

Remember that the hydraulic lines for the loader go under the crossbar that runs across the loader at the top rear.

Re: I\'ll go first. . . . . .

When I first got my B7500 and KK brush hog I read on here how to drill new, lower holes and have the lower arm pins pointed in for easier attaching and to gain some extra lift...

So, don't lift your implements too high without watching the toplink if the ROPS is folded down. It's not as adjustable when bent. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
