I had tilled about 1/4 acre and and found piece of old iron and before I could react it stalled the tractor. Talking a fraction of a second. I got off, pulled the junk out of the tines, and fired it back up. After that I noticed a popping when WOT under load and hot. I was mowing the next...

Has anybody had any success, or tried, running a subsoiler through prairie dog dens to get rid of the little monsters?

The seat on my tractor is starting to crack. It's only 2yrs old. Spends most of its time flipped forward over the steering wheel, but is still managing to crack. What do you use to save the seat from sun/weather damage? Armor All?

Just happen to stumble across it.. Handy Farm Devices - Cobleigh - ToC

I have an electric pump that I need to test to see if it puts out the pressure it needs to (yes it has a relief valve so it won't dead head). My question is, should I attempt to purge the air from the line to the gauge prior running the pump up to pressure? I know that when working with...

I have a few acres and the back couple seem like they were used as a dump by the people that owned the farm the land was originally part of. You can walk across the property a couple times and fill a coffee can with broken glass, metal pieces, and barb wire. My son has yet to injure himself...

Can somebody hook me up with an owners manual for the 60" belly mower for my BX? Looks like it is leaning towards one side and the cut seems a bit off.. I've heard they can be a pain to get setup right, and I'd imagine not having the instrustions on how to do it would make it that much more...

Does anybody have a line on used / salvaged parts for Kubota BX's? The latch side of the seat belt on my BX22 is crushed and I need a replacement.. Unfortunately the dealer will only sell the whole set and they get $100 for it. I can't afford that right now. Any leads would be appreciated...

After plowing our road for a season, the edge of my back blade has burrs rolled up on it. I'm actually a little surprised that this happened, I would have expected it to grind the edge down but not roll thin pieces up leaving an almost rounded edge. I plan on taking a grinder to it this...

Today they closed down my son's preschool because 12 of 16 students in the class are sick. One was tested and confirmed Swine Flu. And the hospitals can't take any new patients because they are already full. (The poor kid is running 104+) I know there is a pretty big cross section of the...

Does anybody have a manual they can share with me? I need to know how they suggest adjusting it, maintaining it, etc.. I finally planted some grass and have a real use for the mower! (BTW: If you try to lift a pallet of sod with a BX 3pt, it does a wheelie.. :D)

I'm part of a small HOA (15 lots) where one lot is owned by the guy who built the sub-division. This guy gave himself 6 votes as compared to everybody else's 1 vote. If he had done it legally, in a real meeting, there wouldn't be a problem. But I'm not out for revenge on the builder. I'm out...

When I searched for a TNT system for my BX22, I was pretty shocked by the cost of them. So I did some homework to find out what it really costs, and built one myself for just under $1000.. Some people will shy away when I say I built it myself, but stick with me here because it really isn't...

Does anybody have experience trying to lift with the kubota backhoes for the BX tractors? The specs show a loader lift rating, but don't mention the lift rating for the backhoe (BT600).. They give digging force for the dipper, but how does that relate to verticle lifting? I'm putting in stone...

Looking for cheap source for rotory cuttery blades. Agrisupply want's $67 for them. KK wants $45 (plus shipping). And another $37 for the shoulder bolts.. Seriously, that's 1/5th what I paid for the darn thing. It's a king kutter 48" mower with 18" blades. Any suggestions?

I'm getting ready to weld ends onto cylinders for my Top N Tilt. But I'm not sure what the best direction is to have the cylinder ports facing so that the hoses don't hang in the way of anything and don't get pinched when using various implements. Can you guys give me some suggestions/examples...

So I was looking at the hydraulic schematic for the BX22 and it looks to me like the BH valve is Open Center (1 line in, 1 line out). From the output of the BH valve, the juice flows to what looks to be the 3PH valve (shows a s.a. cylinder, and that's the only one I can think of on the...

I'm looking at picking up a 3 spool HUSCO value (9110C13C02F01M534) which is open center. The HUSCO says the valve is a JD OEM part and won't give me the part number of the power beyond sleeve. Can anybody help me figure out what sleeve to use? The HUSCO web site has documents on the...

I'm gathering up info to make a bill of materials for my top and tilt, and ran into a one or the other situation for top-link cylinders and need some experienced input.. I have a BX22 and the stock top-link range is 14.25" to 22" (7.75" travel). If I level out my KK box blade (based on the...

When you run wires you use wire loom to protect them from abrasion. I see the same type thing used for hydraulic line, but it is a woven sleeve. What do you call the stuff that is used on hydraulic lines? And where is a good source for it? Thanks. Jeff

Can anybody point me to a good source for gauge wheel components? Mainly the casters and wheels? I'd like to build a set to fit mutiple implements, but can seem to find the wheels and casters.. And if you have any pictures of different ways to mount them, I'd appreciate it. Thanks in...

I was at the farm supply store this fall and saw a box blade with foam sprayed around all the scarifiers. Apparently a couple years back, some guy bought the thing and then returned it to the store after spraying it down with foam. (Not sure why the store even let him return it, but..) The...

I'm looking into putting remotes on my BX22 for top, tilt, and pivot. But I can't figure out a good place to put the valves.. Does anybody have pictures of the valve placement on their BX? Thanks. Jeff

Has anybody had an issue where oil seeps through the front hub seal where it pivots (vertical axis) ? The dealer replace the seal three times and tried silicone around the seal seating surface but nothing seemed to fix it. The only thing I can think of is that the prev owner overloaded the...

It's stinking cold here right now.. About -10 or so. I picked up my BX22 from the dealer after some minor repairs (that didn't work.. thread soon to come) and when I got it home I had a tough time getting it started.. Here's the setup: The ignition has got 4 positions. Off, Run, Glow, and...

Hi All, I'm attempting to build a "shim" that raises the hitch points of a SCUT 3PT hitch to that of a standard 3PT hitch while keeping the correct geometry. But I need to know what the distance is from the ground to the center of the drag link pins on a "standard" Cat 1 3PT hitch when the...

I managed to pick up a 60" MM Mower for my BX22 so I could use it to mow the lawn as I continue to landscape the rest of the property. The tractor currently has bar tires on it and I'm afraid that it will tear up the new grass. Has anybody tried to use bar tires while cutting the lawn, and...

So I picked up a rear blade thinking I could use it to level and maintain the path that circles our property. Hooked up and tried it today and I think all I did was relocate the damage. What's the trick to using a rear blade on uneven ground populated with ruts, ridges, and weeds? Sometimes...

This may be better off in the mods section, but I'm hoping some other BX owner has dealt with this already.. I got a good deal on a King Kutter 48" rotary cutter (sorry, Rotary Kutter) but when I go to hook up, the lift arms will only take it 6-8 inches off the ground and I can't even get the...
