Been away from the forums for a couple years. My brother the certified welder came up this summer so we decided to weld the grab hooks I bought a while back to the L39 bucket. I've been following the threads over the years as to the best place to weld the hooks, in line with the loader arms or...

This will be old news to you Sonoma County TBN'ers but check this out from todays newspaper: Crews working to lift boom from wrecked house | PressDemocrat.com | The Press Democrat | Santa Rosa, CA This crane was helping remove an 150 year old oak from someone's backyard when a large section...

Since Kubota is made in Japan and assembled in the USA, I had always assumed it was 100% metric. Not true. While most of the bolts I've encountered servicing the tractor have been metric, some are in inches. For example I recently had to replace a hydraulic hose, it was 11/16". To avoid rounding...

It seems like every couple of weeks someone starts a thread with "I drove my BX with the parking brake on, did I do any permanent damage? Why doesn't Kubota put a dashboard light or buzzer to warn you when the brake is on?" I guess I'm not the only one who occasionally forgets to release the...

Last year I bought the EZMover hitch so I could tow a log splitter behind my tractor. This year I discovered something from Northern Tool that makes it even more useful, the Hitch Mounted Cargo Basket (item#330249). It's designed to fit a 2" receiver hitch on a truck or SUV but it works great...

I'm considering getting a small TLB. I'm looking at the B21 with HST, the L39 with GST, or the L39's competitor, the JD-110 with HST. I currently own a BX2230 with the Hydrostatic Transmission, which is very similar to driving a car with an automatic transmission. We live in the hills so most...

I've been considering adding a FEL level indicator to my Kubota BX2230 for some time now. I looked at the one advertised here on TBN from American Solutions LLC but I didn't like how it's attached to the FEL. It's clamped to the outside of the FEL arm (where I'd be bumping into it all the time)...

Here's another recent newspaper article. I hope it's not one of our TBN brothers. Sonoma County Sheriff Press Release

I frequently use the FEL bucket for material handling, moving heavy garbage cans, drums, etc. It's like having a large, diesel-powered handtruck. The standard 18" high bucket doesn't provide a lot of rear support when tilting the load. I built a rear support frame out of 3/8" x 2" barstock that...

Instead of a toolbox, I recently adapted a small household basket to carry tools, gloves, etc. on my BX2230. It's constructed of sturdy white plastic approximately 6" x 8" and 5" deep. It was $5.99 at the local Ace Hardware store. One side of the basket is sandwiched between two plastic plates...
