    Riding mower vs BX

    I've owned my BX2200 for almost 20 years. I have no idea why someone would mow in low range. I mow wide open throttle in high. 7mph, no issues, just slow down a bit in high grass. I take the deck off multiple times during the summer to use the loader. It doesn't take long. Sometimes I leave it...

    FEL control valve problem

    I finally got my rebuild kit from the dealer. Paid $168.63 after NY state took their piece of me. Now, that is just for the up-down side of the valve. It worked!

    Quick easy FEL hook for LA211

    I went to TSC and put together a 5/16" and 1/4" chain hooks to hook to my LA211 bucket. I'm sure they won't lift as much as welded hooks but they've taken care of my needs so far until I get to a welder.
