I had tilled about 1/4 acre and and found piece of old iron and before I could react it stalled the tractor. Talking a fraction of a second. I got off, pulled the junk out of the tines, and fired it back up. After that I noticed a popping when WOT under load and hot. I was mowing the next...

Has anybody had any success, or tried, running a subsoiler through prairie dog dens to get rid of the little monsters?

The seat on my tractor is starting to crack. It's only 2yrs old. Spends most of its time flipped forward over the steering wheel, but is still managing to crack. What do you use to save the seat from sun/weather damage? Armor All?

Just happen to stumble across it.. Handy Farm Devices - Cobleigh - ToC

I have an electric pump that I need to test to see if it puts out the pressure it needs to (yes it has a relief valve so it won't dead head). My question is, should I attempt to purge the air from the line to the gauge prior running the pump up to pressure? I know that when working with...

I have a few acres and the back couple seem like they were used as a dump by the people that owned the farm the land was originally part of. You can walk across the property a couple times and fill a coffee can with broken glass, metal pieces, and barb wire. My son has yet to injure himself...

Can somebody hook me up with an owners manual for the 60" belly mower for my BX? Looks like it is leaning towards one side and the cut seems a bit off.. I've heard they can be a pain to get setup right, and I'd imagine not having the instrustions on how to do it would make it that much more...

Does anybody have a line on used / salvaged parts for Kubota BX's? The latch side of the seat belt on my BX22 is crushed and I need a replacement.. Unfortunately the dealer will only sell the whole set and they get $100 for it. I can't afford that right now. Any leads would be appreciated...

After plowing our road for a season, the edge of my back blade has burrs rolled up on it. I'm actually a little surprised that this happened, I would have expected it to grind the edge down but not roll thin pieces up leaving an almost rounded edge. I plan on taking a grinder to it this...

Today they closed down my son's preschool because 12 of 16 students in the class are sick. One was tested and confirmed Swine Flu. And the hospitals can't take any new patients because they are already full. (The poor kid is running 104+) I know there is a pretty big cross section of the...

Does anybody have a manual they can share with me? I need to know how they suggest adjusting it, maintaining it, etc.. I finally planted some grass and have a real use for the mower! (BTW: If you try to lift a pallet of sod with a BX 3pt, it does a wheelie.. :D)

I'm part of a small HOA (15 lots) where one lot is owned by the guy who built the sub-division. This guy gave himself 6 votes as compared to everybody else's 1 vote. If he had done it legally, in a real meeting, there wouldn't be a problem. But I'm not out for revenge on the builder. I'm out...

When I searched for a TNT system for my BX22, I was pretty shocked by the cost of them. So I did some homework to find out what it really costs, and built one myself for just under $1000.. Some people will shy away when I say I built it myself, but stick with me here because it really isn't...

Does anybody have experience trying to lift with the kubota backhoes for the BX tractors? The specs show a loader lift rating, but don't mention the lift rating for the backhoe (BT600).. They give digging force for the dipper, but how does that relate to verticle lifting? I'm putting in stone...

Looking for cheap source for rotory cuttery blades. Agrisupply want's $67 for them. KK wants $45 (plus shipping). And another $37 for the shoulder bolts.. Seriously, that's 1/5th what I paid for the darn thing. It's a king kutter 48" mower with 18" blades. Any suggestions?
