    Oil & Fuel  Oil Change?

    Crew, I have been at this forum long enough to know this will interest enough people (even though it is not directly a tractor question!! How often do you change your car's oil??? I use to change it every 3000 miles but now with the manufacturer's "button" I have been waiting to 8-9000 miles...

    Snow  Angle of front blade??

    This will be my first year with a front blade on my B3200 which I installed yesterday. I see there are really two adjustments. 1) heighth of the "risers" (or no height - just let the blade run on the ground) 2) the angle the blade which is adjusted by the bolt on the top back of the blade...

    Reducing Decibel Level

    Anyone have any luck making their 'Bota quieter? I know it might result in a little horsepower loss but I would take it if I didn't have to wear earplugs. Doesn't make sense that 300+ HP deisel trucks make a fraction of the noise. Thanks.:confused:

    Storing Solutions???

    Getting ready for winter and took the MMM and FEL off - Plow on. No room in the garage for MMM and FEL (and wife's car.) Already tried and the car has got to stay or I will be sleeping outside. Anyone have any creative (read cheap) solutions to keep them high and dry outside. I wouldn't mind...

    Engine - Had to Giggle

    Took a minute tonight to "peak" at my 32 horse 'Bota engine (after I changed the oil in my wife's Accord) and had to laugh. That thing seems so powerful but man is it small and all the stuff (air filter etc) around it is tiny. It is amazing that these tractors do the work they do and when you...

    3-Point Hitch  Extra Pieces

    Bought a new 'Bota with a MMM. When I got home the dealer had also dropped off two extra right and left 3 point hitch arms and the lower links. I am not complaining but does anyone know why I would have gotten extra? I have put on and taken off all my attachments and haven't had to use the...

    Hydrostat warm up for winter

    This will be my first winter with a HSD B3200. How long do I really need to let it warm up without damaging anything? All summer I have been firing it up to run the trash out but not really willing to let it idle for 10 minutes for a 3 minute job. Thanks

    3-Point Hitch  Can my B3200 with R4's Pull a Single Bottom

    My brother (who has a really heavy 2WD tractor with weighted Ag tires - both calcium and steel) says my B3200 with filled R4's (4WD) will never pull a single bottom plow. I don't know much about pulling a plow as I have never done it before but I am trying to put in a really simple french drain...

    Kubota Compact Track Loaders

    I know - This is a tractor site but has anyone heard of the price of either of the new Kubota Track Loaders??? I passed one along the road the other day and boy I can think of about 1000 reasons to get one. Oddly enough there is only one reason to not buy one - My wife. My farmer buddy was...

    Oil & Fuel  EZ Way to Refuel?

    I have seen some really slick ways to refuel on this forum but I am looking for the easiest and cheapest to be able to leave the can on the floorboard of the tractor. Somehow I manage to spill more using those stupid EPA "No Spill" spouts and they restrict flow - I can pee faster then the...

    Connected Battery Jumper Cables Wrong

    This isn't a 'Bota question but I have spent enough time on this forum to know some of you will get a kick out of my stupidity this morning. I went to jump my Impala this morning with my F150 and having my mind on other things I reversed the positive on the F150 with the ground. Big spark...

    Glad to be back to 'Bota

    Whooah - Just looked at some other threads (Grey market/Chinese Tractors) and glad to be back. There is a lot of confusion out there about everything and believe me I am not sure how much you save buying a Jimba (or whatever) but it can't be worth it!

    Repair pieces

    I was mowing under my son's playset with B3200 and the monkey bars caught the 3PT when I was backing up. Didn't let go until it bent that sheet metal piece beyond reasonable repair. Pretty big kiss for a tractor with less than 10 hours:mad: Anybody have any replacement ideas or is my dealer...

    Anyone make/buy an easy way to store and remove/move your ballast box? My box has been sitting tipped over in my driveway because it is a pain to put on and really not too stable when not on the tractor. I want to build something where I could put it on in a minute and a 6 or 7 year old...

    Loader  Hooks for Loader

    Anybody have any great hook solutions? Dealer forgot to weld them and although I have a welder my welds are about as pretty as an old mud fence. Also, I my bucket is not too heavy duty (B3200) so there may be a better solution than welding to the thinner steel. Didn't realize how much I used...
