So I have been needing lighting on my ROPS bar for loader and rear attachment work for quite some time. I have the mounting worked out of four Harbor Freight utility lights that I got got $10 a pair. My question is where and how to tap in to the wiring to power them up. I am fine with them...

I was finishing up some grading and grass planting the other day, and as I usually do, I chop my straw bales by breaking up bales in the smallest "flats" I can and tossing them out on the ground, then drive over them with the MMM to shred them for a nice coverage....Never a problem for my 60"...

Changing the fluids routinely in my BX. Removed the lowest drain bolt on the right rear (As in passenger side I guess)....Drained oil, put the drain plug back in....GENTLY tightened....well attempted to...and it spins and spins.:confused: So I back it out to see what I am suspecting, and yes...

Where can I get one cheap? Any online links?

I got my BX with nearly 300 hours, and changed all of the fluids and filters for motor oil and hydraulic oil. I somehow have not got a service manual yet (I'm slipping!) and want to know what the fluid change intervals are for motor and hydraulic as I assume I am close to due.Can anyone tell me...

My BX has started dripping hydraulic oil just below the quick disconnects for my loader. I pulled the cover for my control valving under the joystick, and degreased all of it with simple green and water with the loader off of the machine. Dried it all off and ran it a while, to find no leaks...

I got a 2004 BX2230 and was doing my mowing this morning when I noticed something odd about the steering feeling "dead" a couple of times. I stopped and checked it out to find that if I turn the steering wheels very slowly to the left, the hydraulics for the steering do not react until I turn...

I just got a great deal on a 2004 Kubota BX2230, with 60"MMM and LA211FEL. Now I need the power angle plow setup for on it. New or lightly used....What can I expect to pay? What is involved in swapping between the plow and the MMM as I hear they are not compatable? Thanks!!! PS will travel to...

I just bought a 2004 BX2250 and was reading about the $2 fan that gets broken and the huge amount of work to install one. Where is it on the machine , and is it easy to see if it is damaged? Thanks!!:cool:

What are some good places to buy a good set of tire chains to fit my tractor? 29 x 12 x 15 tires. I don't want cheap junk chains, but rather well built chains and tensioners. I was looking at these: http://www.tirechain.com/29x12x15.htm

I just sold my ATV and used to use it to clear my 200'+ driveway, so I needed to come up with something....I looked at a snow pusher to go on my loader, but $1800 was a little steep. So I fabbed some mods onto my old ATV mount and plow. Here is the result.

I am getting my tractor snow removal plan in order, and need a good corrosion resistant 3 pnt spreader and a cover for it to spread urea on my concrete driveway this winter. Any suggestions?

Yeah, it is June, but snow will be here soon enough. I plowed my 200+ foot driveway last year with my ATV, and truthfull did not care for the cutting edge catching a certain few expansion joint on my concrete and chipping away at the edges. It had a trip blade but still no good. I have an FEL on...

Ok, I have my 1986 vintage Kubota B5200DT 4wd w/ turf tires, MMM, and front end loader. It is gear drive, so the wife is not real pleased that she has a tough time operating it, as she wants to be able to plow snow or mow if she wants to. So, I'm kicking around the idea of selling or trading the...

Why in the world did they ever do that on the older tractors? What tractor in normal use won't see over 999 hours? It had to look bad even when new like that was possibly the life expectancy! Now we all know Kubota builds brutally tough tractors that last a long, long time, so what...

What do you prefer? I am currently using turf tires with great success, but wondered what everyone prefers with FEL, snow pusher, or plow usage.

Does anyone on here use a snow pusher on their FEL? If so how do you like it? Any certain brand you like? SPC Compact Model

Ok, I need opinions. I have my B5200 shown, w/ FEL and MMM. It is showing 640hrs on the three digit hour meter that was thought to be original by the 2nd owner (I am the 3rd)..........Who knows..........Good tractor, but it has 20+ years on it just mowing until I put an FEL on it. I have owned...

Anyone know why I occaisionally hear a clunk in reverse right after going forward? Right as I leave the clutch out. No attachments on the ground, belly mower detached.:confused:

I'm kicking around clearing my driveway this year with my Kubota B series 5200 4wd with turf tires. I have a 48" bucket on my FEL and a 350lb counter weight that I intend to use on my 250' concrete driveway on a hill that is reasonably steep as a driveway. A friend told me that I might as well...

A friend of mine called and said that he is attempting to buy a JD loader attachment for his JD4300. He said that his dealer quoted him a price of $3700 on the loader, but says he needs to add a $2000 valve to run it as the 4300 don't have one. My Kubota had what they refer to as a power now...

I'm on this ATV forum some, and ran across this topic on Diesel Fuel. On vs. Off Road Diesel? It got me wondering if the low sulfer content on the On Road fuels will harm my 1986 Kubota diesel.....???????:confused:

Can anyone explain to me what the knob on the lower left in this picture does? I don't see anything in the manual about it. Thanks!:cool:

My B5200 has a well aged shifter boot that needs changed out. I got a new one, but am a little confused about what I need to tale off to swap them out.....Any help? PS, the knob does not unscrew.

I just poured my 35 gallon drum for my ballast weight yesterday and have it setting in my garage to dry. How long should I wait before using it? I used three 80lb bags.

I got my Kubota B5200 a couple of months ago, and came upon a question. Is it better for the diesel tractors to sit and idle while you work on something, say like cutting firewood, or should I shut it off and restart it when I'm ready to move again. I'm not concerned about burning a little fuel...

I'm looking for an easy way to load my tires with washer fluid. Any ideas?

Well I just got my FEL on, and sorrily underestimated the ballast weight needed to counter balance the FEL even nearly empty. I was taking some garbage that weighed less than 50lb down my concrete driveway today, with no ballast weight. When I tried to slow down a little, All I got was howling...

I've ordered a Bush Hog FEL for my Kubota B5200, a 1846QT to be exact. The dealer wants $300 to install it, and being a mechanic in my job, I'm wondering how hard it is to install one as a DIY project. I do some hydraulic work as in replacing lines and cylinders on fork trucks, so I have some...

I just bought a B5200 with MMM to mow with, and use with a FEL. Will I have to use a rear finish mower to be able to find a loader to fit my tractor???? I don't mind a quality aftermarket loader like a Woods or something...

Does anyone know where I can get one to fit?
