Tractor News My New BX25 ARRIVED TODAY!

[TripleR]

Yes this is a reoccurring discussion with strong opinions on both sides. I have used several different additives and the only thing I now keep on hand is the HEET in the yellow bottle for use in diesels. I have gotten some water in my fuel and this really cleared it up.

I have spoken with farmers who depend on their tractors for a living and spoke with my renters about a week ago. He runs tractors from 47 to 325 HP as well as other equipment and has storage tanks at our farm and three other locations. They don't use anything in any of their equipment/storage.

We don't have the long periods of extremely cold weather here as those north of here and extremes in climate will influence some of this.

Just an observation and your results may vary.

My neighbour with BX1850 has been using it for past several years clearing upthe snow in winter, but never added any fuel stabilizers and this winter when we had 21" of snow his bota didnot start, gelled up and he had to put a tarp and put a little heater then fired up. Now he bought a fuel stabilizer and intend to use in winters. Summers never a problem

I use power service since its just as easy to get it from walmart. There is howse's diesel treat you could use too from TSC.

I also use and have always used the white bottle Power Service, just a big splash with each 5 gallon container.

I dump a quart bottle of it in my 55 gallon drum before getting it filled .
The drum is always empty before i have it filled and i always get 55 gallon.

Like your new avatar Lee, can you get your BX1500 up there with your backhoe?

Thanks Everyone! I tried everything and also improved a path across my slopes (clifts?) down to two new spots for my wife's new raised garden beds.
Many more garden areas to create before the tiller arrives!

Great job!:thumbsup: Look at that dirt...:drool:.wish I had a bunch of that and I recognized some of those smaller rocks. Also recognized that hill side terrain. Your going to have to do your 50 hour service this weekend. You should have bought this years ago!

Thanks JT! Property had horses for years. I have one area near my workshop (former 4 stall barn) where they dumped the horse manure.

Years ago I was in Virginia & wife commuted to DC so no tractor need then.
Told dealer to bring 50 hr service supplies when he delivers the tiller!
Did not want to give the BX25 up for the week to have them service it.

My first pass with box blade on path pulled up several rocks 6-8" in diameter!
Current herb garden excavation uncovered 12-18" rocks!

How big a rock can I move? When can I exceed 2000 rpm break-in limit?

Enjoy the day, 34F here too!
