New Model ?

n3qik · Aug 29, 2003

Not to get too far off topic, it's not the lawers most of the time. It's the dumba$$ operator that dosen't use their seatbelt/command sense, then stands up while the tractor is moving and gets thrown from the tractor. Then they think the tractor should of been smart enought to stop before running over them. Every manufacture tries to make thier product foolproof/safe, its just we come up with better fools. I work on automatic doors like the ones you see at Wal-mart. In the next 2-4 years we will have to add so many safety systems to the door it will double the cost of the door!!

I suppose you think that is the [to use your words] dumba$$ customer's fault, right? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I will say 50% store owner and 50 % customers. 50% for store owner because they are to inspect/walk-test the door each day. Half do not, so we need more than one type of safety system, so if one fails door will still have some safety. 50 % customer because the kids think these doors are toys and run around them as they open and close. Although this is changing, with most stores having automatic doors the fun factor is not there anymore.

What are you imlpying Henro,that customers don't do stupid things and then don't sue due to there own stupidity.Where are you from?People try to make others pay for there own stupidity all the time.It's a bit like insurance fraud and the high cost of insurance.

What are you imlpying Henro, 

Well, at the risk of sending this thread to the deletion bin...I guess I was implying that few, if any, of us average people could undertake a lawsuit by ourselves.

The root cause of all these crazy lawsuits is, in my uneducated opinion, lawyers eager to their cut of a settlement. The system drives the lawsuits...the odds are in the lawyers favor overall...those lawyers are probably a minority...but they are still there and are lawyers...

But more than that, I guess I am really implying that referring to people in general as dumba**es does not reflet well on the person saying it.

I do agree with you Henro, and nobody is defending greedy lawyers,but people including myself have done dumb things, and most do not seek others to pay for there mistakes.Those that do are indeed a small minority.It is the few that ruin things for most of us.Our very freedom in this country depends on our own good actions,judgements and responceabilities.We would have little need for lawyers if common sence would always prevail,but so much for a perfect world. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I don't know anything about the new models...but I would HOPE that Kubota puts a better system of adjusters on the lower link arms on the bx series.

I'm spoiled by my B2910 I guess...sure got myself thinking about the possibility of adapting the extendable lower links of the b2910 to the bx someday. Hope they do a better job on the BX2230 or whatever it is called.

The BX seems to pull a 6' landscape rake pretty good, by the way. Too bad it is such a pain to put something on the 3ph... /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Well I guess its not THAT bad... /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Henro--spend $60 and solve it

After reading the info here about the BX and lower link adjustment arms, I ordered the kit from Carver. Another post here told how to mod the kit to make it fit.

I bought some 3/8" ball locking pins (if that is what they are called--they are 3/8" pins about 2" long with a key ring type ring on one end, which you can pull on to remove the pin, and a detenting BB sized ball on the other end to keep it from riding out.

Hooking up implements is a SNAP. Back up, pull two pins, swing the arms wide, back some more, hook up by swinging the arms in. Install the 3PT pins holding the implement on, RAISE the 3PT, swing the implement to center it, then install the 3/8" pins. Makes it a snap and 3PT implement sway is a thing of the past.

Oh yeah, I wish it would have been standard, but its fixed now.

I haven't figured out how to post pics here, but if you'd like some, I can send them to you PM.

Best wishes,

Ron
