The trailer in question is a used 2010 P&J 28' deckover trailer that my brother is looking at. The trailer is absolutely 100% a 14k# trailer. It has 7k# axles, 8 lug wheels, properly rated tires, and is built like a tank. I called the P&J dealership in North Carolina that originally sold...

SUMMARY: I have questions about the backhoe bucket width (18" or 24"), what length trailer, tire selection (R-1 or R-4), and backhoe thumb (hydro or mechanical) ME: I own a BX2230 with Woods BH6000 and am very pleased with the combination on my 2 acre plot. THE LONG STORY: My brother has...

Just been blah-blah-ing about getting new tires for my Expedition. Haven't towed anything yet, obviously, but at least they LOOK great. At least I think so. These tires are extremely aggressive, but they don't 'hum' like off-road tires. They give off a little more noise than regular tires, but...

Not 100% "tractor" related, but still curious if anyone owns this sytem, or knows someone who does. In addition to my utility trailer and tractor, I own a travel trailer. While my Expedition is an amazing tow vehicle, the instability (especially while passing semi trucks) is difficult to...

My friend bought a wall of loaded parts bins from a local New Holland dealership. A whole bunch of very useful items, but the purpose of some aren't plainly obvious. This part in particular has prompted more speculation than others. I thought it'd make a nifty can opener, but looks far too...

I was mowing at WOT with my 60" deck and OEM bagger engaged at full boogie...music mix on the iPod...ear protection on. About 3 minutes into my mow on flat terrain (at the time) with normal-length turf grass, there was a rather disturbing blow of black smoke out of the exhaust. It lasted 2 or...

This looks great. My wife's wanted me to do this for years...just need to get one of them Zamboni attachments...

I've been completing a paver patio project...a little over 300 square feet in an irregular pattern. This has involved: ---Removal (hardpan clay and roots...very tough) and transport (stockpile ~300 feet away) of roughly 3CY of dirt ---Unloading and placement of 20,000# of base stone...

Stopped by my dealership today and he had two, one orange and one camo. All I had was the cameraphone...see attached. My impressions were fairly good. It looks VERY well put together and the tires are every bit as large as the RTV900 even though it is substantially smaller. The rear...

Not sure what causes it. Only happens when the trailer is loaded. Generally only happens with the brakes get hot. Basically, I'm coming up on a light and I hit my brakes like normal. Everything is going OK, but when I slow down a bit, the trailer feels like it starts grabbing more and more...

I'm not in the market, but it seemed like a decent deal. It is a B21 HST with Kubota FEL, Kubota BH, as well as a rear-mounted Kubota...the BH is currently setting on a pallate beside the tractor. Pretty versatile machine. It had 440 hours on it. These things are normally stored outside...

I chronicled the purchase of my 7' x 20' 10,000# dovetail trailer a while ago. Generally speaking, I am pleased with the purchase. It is a Leonard. Unfortunately, the salesfolks were not as helpful or knowledgable as I'd have hoped (trailer was delivered un-inspected with at least one out of...

I have the bagger for the BX1500 to BX23 series machine (I think it changed with the BX1850 to BX24 series) and have always had a heck of a time with the shear pin popping. I used Class 8 bolts for a while, but it ate them for lunch...2 or 3 a mow. I switched to split roll pins and it went...

Is it supposed to do that? Maybe the PHD was just trying to get home? Was using it for the first time at a neighbor's house (we barter favors back and forth...they watch my dogs once in a while). I have a 9" auger bit. First 18" went pretty good, then it bit into something and just went...

Know this probably should end up in a general projects directory, but it is a response to a direct request from my lawn project update images and is really a continuance of that previously posted thread... This is the garden I put together for my wife. The in-ground stuff: Pre-backhoe, I...

Last fall, I bored everyone to tears with my worrying about the 300# of seed that I spread not growing fast enough. On the first day. I checked it every hour. Started sprouting after a week and came in nicely around Halloween. For those who weren't here, I went through a major lawn rehab of...

I own a Kubota BX2230 with Woods BH. In full transport mode (tractor, FEL, BH, BoxBlade, PHD) including my Mule ATV, I'm right around 4,000#. My tow vehicle is a 2005 Expedition with the towing package (different gears, trans cooler, etc.) which brings the towing capacity up to 9,000#. I have...

Just to add to the database of very significant projects completed by a mighty-mite tractor, my BX2230. The yard had many dips, blips, and holes left over by my prior tree removal as well as the way my builder left the grading to suit the trees that are no longer there. Plus a long, dry summer...

Paid off my tractor 6 weeks ago and was expecting some type of letter or otherwise indicating that I own the thing. Nothing came. Called my dealer and he said that KCC files a UCC debt with the SCC in Virginia. I guess I would liken it to a mechanics lien on the chunk of iron in my garage...

I hated that I had to give up the ability to tow a trailer unless I removed my BH. I use my trailer too darn much. I came up with a nice way of mounting a modified reciever hitch draw-bar into the steps at the back of the BH6000 so I could tow a trailer. Not that I would try to pull a...

My wife wanted to plant a little more landscaping in the front and replace a junk tree the builder installed with a nice Cut Leaf Red Maple. That was the start of the project... All told, I pulled about 9 CY of heavy red and grey/marine clay out of the flower beds and replaced with soil. I...

$5,150. Including pickup/delivery of my tractor and all installation. Hope to get it installed in 2 to 3 weeks. Getting 100 hour service done at same time along with some minor FEL hydro leaks fixed. Got the 12" bucket. Waiting for Wallenstein Thumb to come back up on E-Bay. Also waiting...

Do we "own" more, "operate" more, "use" more, or "break" more? Why does this single forum rack up SO many threads and posts? Simply amazing. What a wealth of information for everyone involved. Kuummm-bahh-yahhh my lord...kuummm-bahhh-yahhh...

Sometimes folks ask me, "What do you use that thing for?" My answer, invariably, is "Everything". And I do use it for everything. I even used it once to help get a load of groceries and home goods from the truck to the door. Everything. So when I had 30 folks over for my daughter's 3rd...

The Woods BH6000 has several different sizes...12" is standard, then they have a 9" "Trenching" bucket and a 16" "Max Capacity" bucket. I'd lean toward the 9" and 16" since I either move a bunch of dirt and dig tree holes or trench around trees and such. I see myself either wanting a narrow...

I know this subject has come up several times, but I just went by the dealership about purchasing one for myself. I was quoted $4995 installed, which seemed like an OK price. I was also told that the way the 2230 seat was retrofitted, you were physically further back...forward...toward the...

Wondered if she was still working to full capacity after 85 hours of semi-abuse. Threw all eight 80# bags of water softener salt on the loader and played with it just to see what she would do. No problem! Pretty amazing for an implement rated for only 500#. Not that I would do it every...

Took the trash out tonight with the loader (yes, lots of trash) and noticed a little extra "shimmy" in the tractor. Been noticing it recently, but figured it was just my driveway or something. Drove up and down the street to investigate and it turns out that my right rear tire is...

Just a tid-bit...Lowe's sells these little trinaguar low-rider casters for $7 a piece...imagine a little bitty auto-creeper with only three caster wheels connected to a rubber-coated metal cup in the middle. They are rated for something like 200 lbs each. I position 4 of them under the outer...

First post... Talked the wife into 2230 with FEL, 60" mower, PTO Bagger, and 4' BB when we moved onto 2 wooded acres. Got it in January and in 5 months and 4 grass mowings I have somehow put over 40 hours on it...unbelievable just how many more jobs you can get done with the right equipment...
