Hey All, It's been a long time since I hung out here. I got my BX24 and then was busy working my job and taking care of the family. New job has me moving from central New York to central Maine and I've discovered that U-Haul won't let me rent a utility trailer one way, and I don't know if I...

Hi All, I've found a used snow blower someone I know has in his backyard. Right now it is covered in plastic with stuff piled on top of that. I told him we would wait a week or so for the weather to get a bit nicer (I was also in a hurry and running late for my next meeting). Anyway, he...

I bought a new Lincoln grease gun (1134). I loaded up the grease cartridge, stuck it on a fitting on my FEL (Kubota BX24), greased it up and then tried to get it off. Can't. Pull, pull, twist every way, pull some more... Anyone have any suggestions? This really pisses me off. Thanks for...

I've had my BX24 since this spring. Haven't used the FEL or Backhoe all that much, but figured it must be around the 10 hour mark, so I got a grease gun from TSC and some little tubes of grease. The guy talked my into the small type grease gun - said they held up better. Now my manual says to...

Hey all, my engine is still kinda new, about 10 hours or so. I'm putting on the 60" mower deck and grass collector for the first time tomorrow and was wondering at what RPM the engine should be put when I fire this up. I'm assuming the PTO setting for both mid and rear should be on, yes? The...

Hey All, When I got home from work today my BX24 was sitting in my driveway with my grass collector installed from the dealer (they had it on back order when I got the tractor in Feb). There are no instructions. Is there something online I can get? Does this thing attach with the 3ph? I'm...

Hey All, I got a BX24 a couple of months ago. I just called my dealer to see what a 48" Bush Hog box scraper would be. He quotes me $700. Now back when I was shopping, I got quoted $500 from another dealer (but 40 miles away). The dealer from which I made the purchase quoted me $600 at the...

I got my BX24 last week on Sat. morning. The 3PH assembly was wrapped in plastic and was put in the FEL. This morning I went out to the garage (haven't had time this week to barely look at anything) to get the stuff to see if I could figure out how to put this thing together (no experience...

I'm looking to see what my options are in chipper/shredders for the BX24. So far I am not encouraged. Not much out there, and what is there is very expensive (seems to me). So I found this KPX site which has a chipper for $1999 shipped to your door. I see that it weighs 800 lbs. I look on...

We're really struggling with this one. I'm not positive about the choice being Kubota, and the issue of this thread is really about buying with a BH or not, so I put it in this forum rather than the Kubota section. I'm wondering if I will use the BH much past this first year when I get a...

Hi All, I'm trying to figure out how I can gather the clippings from my 2 acre lawn for compost without buying the $1800 Kubota collector thing. This year I just can't add that on to the cost of tractor and needful implements. I don't even know how much clippings the Kubota implement holds...

I don't know how long the two BX24s that are on the lot have been there, and no one is talking. :( The head salesperson told me it's only been there "about a month". Uh, OK. So you got two BX24s delivered about the middle of December. In central New York. It must be true. :rolleyes: So...

Hi All, My wife and I are pretty sure we're going to go with the BX24 for our five acres. I was going to get the MMM, but I'm seriously considering going with the back mount type rotary mower. The reason for this is that I fully anticipate needing the BH and FEL for work in between most...

I've never used a tractor at all. I'm new to all this. My dealer/salesman made it sound like you can raise the height to anything you want on the back and have at it. I've read on numerous threads about all the gravel scraping with the plow and stone throwing with the snowblower. My driveway...
