    Snow Equipment Owning/Operating  Snow Plowing with Kubota 72" plow on B3000 Cab (B3030)

    This is my first winter with this tractor. I bought the kubota QA with the 72" Kubota blade, all hydraulic angling. My question is, should I have my 500# rear ballast on when I snow plow, or will that work against me? I have R4 tires. I have skid shoes on it for my long gravel driveway to the...

    Mowing  Putting 72" mower deck in transport position on B3000?

    Hey guys. It doesn't say in the manual how to do this for some reason, but I think you just reposition the link stops or something on those lines. The mower is off but I want to keep the links on and not have them raise and lower with the 3pt hitch activation. Does anyone have any advice or...

    Comparison  Snowblower Compatibility question - b series

    Hello all. I have a blower compatibility question. I know my bx2750d on my bx2660 will fit the b2620 tractor but not the b3000 (b3030). Is this true? What is different on the b3030 that makes it not compatible. Is there a slight difference in the quick hitch design or something? Has anyone made...

    Wheel spacer question on B3000 with deck

    Ive read that the wheel spacer kit on a B3000 with the 72" mower is a no go because of interference. Is this true? Also, will the 60" deck work with wheel spacers? Im assuming the wheel spacer kit is for the back only, but is there one for the front. Is that even a good idea. Ive seen...

    Been noticing small drops here and there. I looked under it briefly and it looks like its coming from the Mid pto that hooks to the mower. Going to look closer today and take the mower off and clean it. If it is leaking, is there a seal that can be replaced from the outside? Also, this is the...

    For those of you with snowblowers on your BX

    I just bought a brand new snowblower, front mount with the quick attach, mid pto kit, etc. Ive used it for about 2 hours now. Ive noticed that the inner high speed wheel (the one that spins fast and ejects the snow out of the shoot), has scuffed all the orange paint out of the inner round...

    BX2660 losing power and dying

    When I was mowing this past weekend (full throttle), I noticed the tractor start to lower the RPM's by itself, cough a little and then back to full rev's. I dismissed it. A few minutes later, it kept doing it so frequently that I couldnt mow the lawn anymore. Alas, I brought her into my shop. It...

    Think I bent my loader stand

    Hey guy. Went to put on my loader today, attached it, lifted it high enough to tuck away the stand, and it would not move. I had to use a huge prybar and mallet to get it to come out of the slots. Question is, do I take the whole thing off and try to bend it back (not even sure what its supposed...
