Here in Iowa, it was about 3ｰF this morning. Started up BX2350 in unheated shed, let it warm up 3 minutes, backed it out, and just as I hopped off to reverse the blade for my first snow pass, it died. Gelled ( I restarted a few times to confirm the diagnosis). Pushed it into the house garage...

I've been going through my uncle's estate, and came across several Kubota sales brochures. My uncle had stacks and stacks of sales brochures dating into the 1950's. Its fun to read through these old brochures! This one covers the M7500DT, L245DT, B7100D, and KH-10-D. It also gives spec's on the...

After picking up a BX2350, its time to retire (and sell) the Cub Cadet. 2004 Cub cadet LT1018 42" mower Front blade Ag tires wheel weights chains Front Guard Bumper ~145 hours on meter Any ideas on what I should ask for this setup? Tractor has been used hard, and it shows. Everything works...

How fast do your rear implements or mmm settle on your BX tractors? With about 35 hours onmy BX2350, I notice that the mmm (after lifting to the transport position) will settle enough to start banging against the lift stops in about 60 seconds. The rear implements settle at least 1" within 3...
