I managed to break the adjusting 3pt check chain on my 2230 using the box blade. Backing up and hit a small rock. I wasn't going that fast and I wonder if I had the adjustment a bit too tight. It broke the two welds that hold the nut onto the U-shaped metal part. Anyway, tractor is but 4...

Here is my attempt at a toolbox for the BX. It is not ideal but is cheap and simple. I am cutting it a bit smaller and gonna paint it Kubota Orange. It is a 4" piece of PVC with a cap and a screw off clean out. 2 band clamps and presto.

Well I lurked for a while and then pulled the trigger...after great input from this board. Got the tractor about 4 weeks ago and have 18 hours on it. It has taken a while to get around to taking the picture and posting. A couple of notes: Yes, those are JD wheel weights... came off the 318...

2230, FEL, 60"MMM due to be delivered on Friday. Got a free weekend and lots of playing to do. Thanks for all the help. I will post pictures soon.

I am very close but I am wavering on the deal I am getting. 3 dealers, very little negotiation, all right at $12,800 for 2230, 60", Loader. I have seen others list several hundred less, but other areas of the country. WHat are your thoughts? Regional differences?

I have been lurking for several years and am getting close to pulling the trigger on a BX2230 (or BX1830) MMM and Loader. I need some advice from the group. I live on 5 acres, mainly woods with 1 1/2 acres to mow. Lots of trees, 300 foot gravel driveway, Kansas winters (meaning some snow). I...
