I cant believe my thread has 43,000 hits LOL! Ok - so I see Rays confusion - this was my rear blade set up (which I have now migrated to a front blade with the same rubber mat) - on my rear set up the rubber and the edge of the red steel frame of the blade extended much farther down than the...

Just finished my plow set up - pick of a brand new (2003 vintage) Curtis 72 inch manual blade off of Craigslist (sat in a barn never used) - purchased new hydraulic cylinders and cross over relief valve. I wanted to post this since I agonized during my purchase if the 72 inch blade was too...

Ok Guys - nob alert. I have a 6 foot manual angle Curtis plow - want to add power angle feature - absolute clueless as to how best to go about this. Now the good part of this is the fact that I already have a 3rd function valve installed (for my grapple) so simplistic me is thinking all I...

Did a search and came up empty. I am looking to modify a older plow to accept my loader arms with Quick Adapter - I realize I can take some of these measurements myself but I was wondering if a drawing exists that shows the dimensions for the receiving end of the FEL Quick Attached. In other...

Looking at a blade for plowing this winter for my B2920 however I am also thinking it is going to be a little too wide at 72 inches - although may handle it just fine. My tractor is 51 inches wide and believe a 66 inch wide blade would be the sweet spot for the B which should give me a handful...

Ok - been too busy to write up a quick summery of my Compact Wicket Grapple Installation and use - I purchased this back in December of 2013 Friggin awesome. This grapple has become my new favorite attachment. I have found so many uses for it although I mainly use it for firewood / log...

Just a quick post for those that have neglected to look at their fuel filter. Being one of the Poster Children for Kubota I should be flogged. 319 hours on my B2920 and I never gave it a second look (must be senility setting in). Recently talking with a friend he informs me he strains all of...

I wanted to give some feedback on my Curtis Cab install. I finally unearthed a Curtis Cab off Craigslist - it only took 5 years as I have been looking since 2009 for a used one in like new condition. Initial take-a-ways; Quality - I actually was skeptical on the build quality of these cabs...

Jimmy, I have that same reservation however I pulled the trigger on the smaller Wicked Rake L style Grapple - I am sure it will not be everything and everyone however I am thinking it will meet 90% on my expectations. One of the main reasons i went this route is to have the ability to lift and...

OK guys I am looking at grapples not a huge need but more of a want. I mainly looking for something to help with log lengths which are dropped off every so often for firewood (presently using forks and they just move all over the place. I will also use to clear out a area on another property...

Does anyone have a Curtis cab installed on one of the 2X20 series? I am about to pull the trigger on one of these cabs and just wanted some feedback (mainly bad - besides the price). I sat in one being installed recently (pic) and I was surprised how spacious it was inside - I am still not...

I guess my rant is to just see if I am the only one that thinks that cabs are awesome but appear to be very expensive for the return most get out of them. I have been interested in these recenlty for the winter time (carhart is not cutting it anymore) for plowing and general use etc but I am...

Well it was only a matter of time - the title says it all - I have decided that my next attatchment purchase (a core aerator) is now on hold. Since I would only use something like this twice / year, not to mention the cost for these are ridicules so I started my quest for a 3 pt snow blower. I...

I was thinking since a lot of folks appreciated this on the Kubota form I would post it here since its more applicable under the snow removal forum. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/kubota-owning-operating/194021-snow-plowing-gravel-drive-problem.html ~jim

I just thought I would share something that I think worked really well for me. I knew well ahead of time I was going to be frustrated this winter plowing my newly installed stone driveway so I began to look at ways to mitigate the effect the cutting edge on my rear blade had on the gravel...

With the price of aerators / pluggers I want to be sure I make the best choice - hence looking for feedback. I am looking to purchase a 3 pt core aerator soon and was wondering if anyone has an experience between these two designs (with and without the plugs attatched to the drum). Does one...

Hey guys - I am trying to justify my next purchase (aerator) and man these things are like gold. I know I would rather have a 3 pt plugger attatched to individual discs rather than connected to a drum and after looking at many manufactures I came across these guys - anyone ever heard of them...

Ok, so here it is - I am in need of a new Driveway. Its circular with two large square'ish areas that lie directly in front of five (5) "carriage house style garage doors - it is a total of 5000 square feet of area and it is presently of asphalt. Since my house is a old Cape Cod (Cottage look)...

Ok - I did my first idiot thing of the year - I feel like a total tool. 50 Hours on the 2920. So I go and change the oil - not hard - easy - right? After I drain - new filter - plugs are back - I go to fill - not hard. After I dump....say 3 qts in - I go and check the level - you guessed it...

Hi all, I am trying to install a after market 3pt hitch Log Splitter that runs off the BH hydraulics and will need to have a couple of hydraulic lines made up to attatch the splitter to however, I have found that there is very little info (manual, dealer etc) on the exact type of quick...

I bought a used ZD21 this year and the season is coming to an end. I intend to put it away in a few weeks and then it will sit idle until may. Since I only put ~50 hours on it I dont see changing the oil as a benefit since it was done right before I received it and in another 50 hours it has...

Yes another light thread but I felt I had to show it off since I scoured this site and used the search tool to death to get ideas on how I may tackle my light project on my new B2920. I used these lights from my BX22 days I felt duals both pointing front and back were a priority. Also when I...

I was wondering if anyone has had any experiences with a ZTM coupled to a tow behind leaf vac. I have a Cyclone Rake that I used on my BX22 and 60 inch MMM at my 2 acre "flat" property and vowed not to use a rake on leaves ever again and since I have replaced the BX with a ZD21 this past year I...

Hi all, I have had issues with the 3pt pin that holds the 3pt hitch pieces together (this runs through the Draw Bar) since day one. Although a 3pt hitch is not rocket science I think the manual does a horrible job describing on how to put on and take off the 3pt hitch. When I went to put on...

Someone in the Kubota forum asked me about my barn which seems to always find its way into a lot of my pictures. I thought this post would be more applicable here. Since I moved into my house I have always wanted a place to put the toys ..... I mean tools :D and was going to do a simple Pole...

OK so how about a few comments from the trailer experts here on how I am tying down my B2920 to my trailer. I am not looking for the Chain / Binders vs Strapping arguments but more about where on the tractor I am tying to (or should be tying to). I am having a devil of a time finding an area...

Since I just turned 10 hours I am still working the B gently however, yesterday when I went to use my middle buster (potato plow) in the garden -(4WD, 2000 RPM) I experienced a very noticeable vibration under the deck. Now, prior to plowing I was using my bush hog and there were no problems but...

Every now and then you just got-ta run to the house and grab the camera for that Kodak Moment. I was going up to my farm property to do a little hogging and thought I better snap a few pics before she gets all dirty! The 4 foot Farm Force is far from the top of the line but it has yet to fail...

After researching for over 2 years I decided I was ready for my upgrade from my BX22 (which by the way was a awesome tractor) to a larger B platform. I felt the new B2920 was a perfect fit for my needs present and future offering more HP for ground engagements as well as a larger platform (but...

I am in the midst of upgrading from a BX22 to a B2920 and would like to know what is the prefered BH Bucket size. My BX used a 12 inch which suited me for most of my applications however it didnt displace a lot of material (not that I am looking to dig a foundation). I mainly be using it for odd...

Does anyone know if a BX 60 inch MMM will fit on the new B2X20 series?

Simple question - will a 48 inch BX Toothbar fit a 49 inch B2x20 Bucket? I have ATI with very very little use and if / when I upgrade Tractors I was wondering if the 1 inch difference would be a problem if I was to use 1/2 inch stand offs.

First and foremost Happy New Year to all! Maybe I am not reading this right but, from Kubotas web site it looks like they pulled the 0% financing option. With the prime were it is I'd have thought they would have left it at least for the first quarter of 09. Too bad as I "was" seriously looking...

I have been looking to upgrade from my BX22 to possibly a B2920 or B3030 however, I just dont like the current B3030 BH design (with additional seat) and was just informed that our friends at Kubota have incorporated the B2920 integrated swivel seat and a new BH :) with the the B7800...

I have been looking to possible get a 2920 however was wondering if there will be a 2009 model that may (or may not) address any "first year" problems and when that model would appear on the market? Also, on its folding ROPS - on the older B's and larger B's the ROPS completely fold 180 degrees...

Is any of my fellow BX'ers using a Boom Pole? If so, what kind and what for? Looking to get one to assist lifting some heavy ~500 lbs items off a trailer and want to get feedback on how well a BX works under these loads. I have noticed few (if any) "sub compact" like Boom Poles (i.e. farm...

I have had my BX22 TLB since 2003. It does everything I have asked it to do and more for my 2 acres. I have been extremely happy with it even though I have the urge to get bigger - calming myself down when I am working a very tight area (which is more often then not) where even a small B would...

Hey guys, I have had a BX22 TLB for 6 years now (450 hours) and it is a perfect fit for my property of 2 acres (mowing 1.5 acres, 600 feet drive not to mention tons of loader projects) however, I recently inherited 24 acres - 16 of those are rented to the farmer next-door for hay production and...

Hi all, I am going to try and tackle digging out for a Bilco Door / Perm-entry pre cast concrete stairs for a basement access into my house with my BX22. PermEntry Basement Entrance - Detail information for PermEntry Basement Entrance I was instructed by the contractor who is going to drop...
