Looking for some info on Kubota BX24

[Inky05]

If you're going to do any work with the MMM off... be sure and get some skid plates to protect the HST fan!

I mowed first 2 yrs with bh on no problems or hitting sub frame. That said if not using at same time (like the rock removal found mowing) think I would disconnect hoses and do the loop thing and put the pins in bh and maybe chain stab arms up so they don't leak down over time.

I think Harry (BXpanded) said it best in this thread http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/kubota-owning-operating/141234-mowing-loading-2.html. Basically the same explaination that Cruisin gave in post 9. Also, this may be only a BX24/25 issue since the BX22/23 owners manual make no mention of this restriction.

"Apparently, the 3pt lift can create a significant surge back to the BH valve that can damage the valve. The BH hose should be disconnected and the PB loop reconnected when using the MMM.

You can sometimes feel this surge in the power steering when the MMM is lifted all the way up and the steering wheel is turned."

Ideally you should remove the BH and FEL for mowing, if you want a quality cut. Weight and obstacles are the main issue.

On mine, the 3pt arms hit the BH subframe thus not allowing the MMM to reach it's intended cut height.

really there is no muscle involved in removing the impliments. 10 minutes and a little patience, that's all.

I don't believe that the 24 is any different than the 23 in this respect.

Don't take this the wrong way, PLEASE! But if you ever had 15 back surgeries, Unzipping your pants can be a task sometimes, LOL. I agree it's simple setup to remove them and I'm not a lazy person it I try to stay away from any pulling, bending & stuff like that as much as I can. And you are right about quality of the cut sucks with the BH & FL on it. I think I might look into those dollies a few people spoke of

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

The reason for removing the BH is because you need the hydraulics for the lifting of the mowing deck. I would guess the you could leave the BH on and disconnect the lines and plug them together like they say in the book but then again that alot of weight on the back without the loader on the front. Not only that but leaving the FEL and BH on will make mowing difficult around object such as houses and tress ect ect ect.

If you need to remove them I would recomend looking at BXpanded's website. They make a set of dollies for the FEL and BH. Makes on and off a breeze. No lifiting or messing around. Roll it up, hook up your hydraulics, move the lever and insert the pins. Easy as pie. I made my own dolly for the FEL. Not as nice as the BXpaned but it worked. I will buy the BH dolly for sure.

WOW! that sound just what I need right there, they don't make a tool for removing the MMM also do they. Although it's easy for most, that thing can be a killer for some of us, missing 3 vertabra and enought screw to start a hardware store, I just don't bend like I use to LOL, thanks I'll ck that place out.

Removing the mmm is easier than installing. Because .... recoupling the pto shaft is sometimes tricky to line up while laying on ones back.

That's why I want to leave it on in order to run the BH, that shaft can be tough

Running the Backhoe with the MMM installed is not a problem. It's using the MMM with the BH hooked up that has the potential to cause damage.

So they both can stay on, only swap hoes and use one at a time?
