    Mini log skidding BX style

    I built a small attachment that was added to the three point hitch, to lift and pull small logs. It worked good but you had to back up over the end of the log. With the low ground clearance of the BX I thought it would be better to add the winch I made for the three point hitch so I could pull...

    I added a Warn ATV winch to the BX

    I had a Warn 2500 lb winch on the ATV and I never used it. So I added a 2" square tube and some gussets to the mounting plate and a extra mounting plate for the relay and remote switch connector. Now it is all in a small unit with the only connections needed are the 12 volt power and the remote...

    Trailer brake controller on a Kubota BX

    A while ago someone on here had the idea of putting a switch on their tractor to control the trailer breaks and since I just moved up to a dual axle trailer that I will be moving while it is loaded with wood I thought that would be a good idea. I thought about the use of a off/ on switch but...

    Brakeaway battery charger

    I just bought a 16' 7K trailer with 4 wheel brakes and the brakeaway battery kit. I never had a trailer with the brakeaway kit and I don't know what the battery needs, to be maintained. What are you using to charge your brakeaway batteries? Thanks

    Little BX Bucket Brush Forks

    I just got done with the loader installation and thought of some other stuff to build. First is this set of brush forks that attach to the bucket with two 5/8" cat 0 pins. The forks are built from 2" X 2" X .125" box tubing and weight just over 100 lbs. I wanted to keep them light knowing the...

    Putting a FEL on a 5 year old BX2230

    I thought I would share what I went through to put a loader on my 2004 BX2230. I allready have the front blade and a 4 way hyd valve, I wanted to use my existing valve on this project. I went looking for a FEL thinking I could put a LA243 on my tractor, and I found out that Kubota changed the...

    LA211 loader on a BX2230

    I did not get the loader when I bought the tractor 5 years ago, but I would like to have one now? My problem is that I have the front quick hitch, 60" snow plow, and 4 way valve and I want to use the 4 way valve for the LA211 loader if I can. I checked with the local dealer and he showed me that...

    Log lift back saver

    I think I am getting to old to lift big wood to split, so I made an attachment to fit into the 3pt hitch to move wood around and to set it on the splitter when in the vertical position. Here are some pictures. Scott

    Hydraulic Top Link for a BX 2230

    I have wanted a Hyd top link for some time but every top link you can buy is to long for the BX. The stock top link is around 14" closed. I purchased a 2"X5" cylinder and two ball ends and made one, its closed lenght is 13-1/2". It seems to work very good, so far it shows no signs of movement on...
