    NH Boomer 50 Rear Hydraulics

    Hi all. I just sold my Kubota B2301 because I needed a much larger tractor and ended up getting a great deal on a 2011 Boomer 50. My only issue is that it does not have rear accessory hydraulics which I need for some of my implements. My question is: What are your experiences with the...

    GC2300 Questions

    Greetings all, Been a while since I posted on here, good to be back. So I sold my Kubota a while back and ended up buying a MF GC2300 just because I found a deal too good to pass up and I have been very pleased with purchase to date. I run a lot of implements on it as you'll see in my...

    ZTR on hills, are they pretty safe?

    I just ordered a JD EZtrak Z445 w/54" deck. I have about 2.3 acres I'll be mowing, mostly flat. But there is one spot in my yard that is relatively steep right along our driveway. I'm not good at guessing the degree of slope, but if I had to I'd say a 25 degree slope maybe. I would like to...

    XB 3ph Finishing mower from Tractor Supply

    Does anyone have any experience with these mowers? I have a BX2200 and am looking for a good mower to use with it. My MM PTO is busted, so I can't get a Belly mower. The problem with the BX is the weight and the 3ph size. These XB models are made for the smaller 3ph but I can't get anything...

    Mahindra Tractors, thoughts

    Hello all, I live right around the corner from a Mahindra dealer in PA. Also near there is a Bobcat dealer. I currently own an '01 Kubota BX2200. OK, all that said, I'm seriously considering trading the 'bota in on either a Bobcat CUT or a Mahindra CUT. The quote I got back for pricing on a...

    Power steering gasket blown

    The other day after doing some work with my bx I found where the screen covering the battery, dash wiring, etc. was quite soaked. I took it off and it definitely wasn't water. I looked at the compression fitting connections under the steering wheel, and they were drenched. However, after...

    bx2200 RPMs dropping quickly

    Hi guys, been a while since I visited. I have a question that I hope I can get some help with. While running my BX the past few times I noticed that the engine would sputter now and then, and now most recently the RPMS drop to a point where the tractor almost stalls. I've got about 330 hours...

    Mowing  Rear finishing mower for BX

    I've been away from this forum for well over a year now and I'm sure this question has been asked previously, But please humor me. I've had a BX2200 for over 2 years now and have been using a 72" Bush Hog rear mount finisher (yep, it's true, the BX handles it just fine). I'm due for a new one...

    Clamp on fork question

    I thought I saw on TBN somewhere that you can buy clamp on forks for the LA211 loader. I am interested in getting them because I don't have the need for the whole fork kit to replace the loader. I would only be using the forks for cleaning up brush and small down trees. Could someone please...

    Hydraulic Control Lever Bolts

    Ugh, these tractors can be such pains in the A$$ sometimes!!! So, today I went out to spread some stone with my BX2200 and was using the FEL for about 2 hours. All of a sudden the Lever was sloppy and the black hydraulic control box was sliding up and down in the steel enclosure. I quickly...

    Wallace Implements (just an FYI)

    As I said in the KingKutter discussion, my local TSC suggested Wallace over KingKutter for price and quality in their opinion. I did some research and found the link to the site if anyone is interested in checking them out. I think I will call them. I am looking for a Middle buster, one row...

    Tire Question

    My BX2200 has an issue with air leaking from the left rear. I didn't purchase filled tires as I got wheel weights instead. My question is, since I can't find the leak, can I use some sort of alternative method like fix-a-flat or something? Or can't I use that in a tractor tire? I just don't...

    Kubota upper and lower links

    First I have to say this. I just got done reading the operating opinions thread and I have some input. I just got 70 ton of 2A modified stone on my property. The BX2200 I own handled it fine. I just got my BX about 2 months ago (just in time for the majority of our snow) and I absolutely...
