I was out in the woods the other day and found two pieces from farm/tractor equipment. They're stuck in the ground in what used to be farm field land. One piece will need to be dug out but the other I was able to bring back with me to study. So, put on your thinking caps and figure out what...

Why isn\'t there a horn on the BX tractors? I've searched the old posts but can't find anything on this topic. It puzzles me why a tractor doesn't have a horn. My BX23 has ROPS, seatbelt, an engine cutout switch when the PTO is engaged, etc. But no horn. Often I'm running the tractor and need...

Disclaimer: I have no affiliation nor have I done business with this person/company. Just merely stumbled across this seller who seems to have a lot of cheap original US Model Yanmar manuals. I was tempted to buy them but no longer have my Yanmar. Here is a link to one of the seller's manuals...

I have about 16 hours on a GCK60-BX grass catcher and have already been through 3 shear bolts. There are two shear bolts in this unit, one at each end of the blower unit's driveshaft which runs between the grass catcher's two gearboxes. The shear bolt on the power side keeps breaking. I mowed...

I know it s still early in the recent "discovery" of the sticking pedal issue's uncovering but is there any info yet as to if this affects only the BX2200/BX22 or did Kubota change this bearing for the newly released BX2230 & BX23 models? Anyone have access to the parts book info for both...

I've been following the BX22 and now BX23 discussions but haven't heard much about the unique way that Kubota quick attaches the backhoe to the frame. I'm used to seeing a full subframe attached backhoe and was curious if BX22 owners that work out their backhoes on a regular basis can see any...

Ok folks, be honest and despite the vague question give your best shot at fairly pricing my Yanmar 186D tractor with the goodies. I'm trying to price it based on fair market value, the condition, the accessories, and the cost to replace it. Here are the specs: Yanmar 186D tractor - 4 wheel...

I can't find the spec on the BX2750 snowblower (BX tractor models) for the amount of snow it throws (cubic feet per minute?). Anyone know this or see it in the owners manual? Also, any New Englanders out there with one of these blowers get to play with it this weekend? How does it do when...

Yes, sad to say but I need to sell my US market 186D 4x4 tractor loader backhoe. Its a great rig and all Yanmar.

I am trying to figure out if the loader of a BX22 would clear the side boards of my truck. Does anyone have a measurement of the max height the loader can go and still have the bucket tip to dump the load?

I live in hilly and rocky New Hampshire. I have a part grass/landscaped (2 acres) and part wooded lot. In the summer we have someone cut and collect the grass (unreliable). In the fall we use a backpack blower to gather LOTS of leaves which we then must tarp and truck off which we would prefer...

Alas the once bone dry front axle on my 186D is begining to leak. Well, only the left side has dripped a bit so far. So, I have all of the manuals but what tips can those who have repaired this before share with me?

It appears that my exisiting crushed stone driveway is just a "top" job as little crushed rock remains after installation about 15 years ago (I am not the original owner so don't know exact history). I would like to put in a nice crushed stone replacement and understand the correct way is to...

I'm looking for tips on selecting a overhead garage door. What are "good" brands? What to watch for in design like materials, gasketing, hardware, tracks, etc. This will be a narrow door that will replace an existing double swinging set of doors that are junk so everything will be new...
