Soldier, Don't forget to check Craigslist for pole barn builders too. I spent over a month contacting all the local people getting high prices and becoming frustrated, until finally someone asked had I checked Craigslist. Glad I did too! I found a company 75 miles away that gave me a good...

Forgive me please if there is a simple answer to this, but I need some help from the experts. I am in the process of converting the mechanical thumb on my Kubota BH65 Backhoe(mounted on a Kubota B2620) to hydraulic operation. I have the cylinder mounted and all lines ran, but the cylinder will...

A little background on my frustration. I ordered the forks and carrier along with the QA on 4/5/10 and was disappointed to hear that it would be 5/3 before the carrier arrived. Well that date has been changed twice and it is now mid to end of June before the warehouse expects any. I'm tired...

I received my factory (optional) thumb for my BH65 recently and so far I love it. Initially the pin that secures it in the desired position would not go in far enough to let the retaining pin go in it. It was in there when I got it back from the dealer but looks like they must have used a hammer...

Well I went to my local Kubota dealer today to "look" at a tractor. I was actually decided on something like the B2320, but my dealer didn't have any. He did have two B2620's, with FEL sitting on the lot. After looking the unit over and talking with the dealer a bit he came out with the "do...

First off, I'm new around here....have been reading alot trying to learn what I can about the BX. I have ready many many good things about it but I have a few things that are still unanswered. To give a little background before I start, I'm in Georgia with mostly good ole Georgia clay, the...
