So, after a day of cutting up 7 cords of tree length firewood I am mad at myself for not ordering a backhoe thumb earlier. With the thumb and a root hook I was able to pick up each of the 14-16 foot logs to waist height where I then got off and picked up the Stihl and starting cutting. Took all...

Over this weekend I noticed that the cylinder on my log splitter was weeping fluid at the back welded base. Its only dripping a very small amount after running for a while and the cylinder gets hot. Splitter is a high end manufactured unit from the late 70s, everything but the cylinder has been...

I know the general idea is a 48inch or so unit is the best match for the tractor. But is a 60 really just too big?

I generally use a hay spike on the 3pt hitch to do move these bales, but it turns out the FEL can handle the bale in a pinch.

Figured I would post a resolution to a problem for once in case it helps others out. My tractor stalled out and as tried to restart, it would run for a few minutes and then die out again. I checked the fuel level, safety switches nothing worked. Finally it would not start back up at all, but...

I am seriously thinking of trading in / selling the BX24 for either of these 2 models with a backhoe. I use the BX for caring for the 4.5 acre horse farm / house I have. I want something I can mow the lawn with but yet work clearing the land in the back. I have reached the end of the BX...

I have opportunity to buy an Oliver OC-3 crawler with loader. I'm looking for any sort of info on them. I'm going to go look at it better in the morning but at first glance it looks to be in really good condition. Was wondering what if anything I should look out for on it.

The wife wanted another 50 or so feet cleared for a paddock with a riding ring / track along the outside so that way the ring would be 150ft x 65. Well with this being New England I knew it wouldn't be an easy task. I figured I would do as much as possible with the BX and then rent a mini...

I just repowered my Trac-Vac with a larger engine and impeller set up that I got used. The new set up uses 8inch hose. I was using a cheap plastic Agri-Fab mower deck boot but that only works for 7inch or 6inch hoses. I did call Trac-Vac for the MSRP of a 8inch boot for my mower and at 200$ I...

I have an old old Duerr log splitter. Long story short I need to put a new valve on it and was looking at surplus center for a replacement and found 2 that look like they will work. https://www.surpluscenter.com/item.asp?catname=hydraulic&qty=1&item=9-7724 and...

I saw these this morning and was wondering if any one had purchased them for their BX. Construction Attachments 42" Compact Pallet Forks For Kubota BX Construction Attachments 42" Kubota BX series Pin-On pallet forks for LA203 and LA243 Loaders My concerns are that...

All figured I would share this in case someone hasn't shared it already. This is the cheapest way I found to add a receiver hitch to the rear draw bar of a BX series tractor. Pick up a "Step Bumper Receiver" from Harbor Freight Tools for $19.99 (without coupons). ITEM 67159-2VGA The 2 new...

Guys I bought a used Trac Vac 580 6hp leaf vac a while back for 200$. I am using it behind my BX24 with a 54in mower. I find that for grass clippings the 6inch hose is not a problem, but this time of year the leaves tend to build up and even going slow tend to clog up the hose. I was looking...

Hey guys. I bought this off craigslist from a really nice guy who fabbed it up for his BX. He only sold it since he started tinkering on another plow which he made with the same mount set up. The mounting plate connects to the tractor where the brush guard goes. This is a steel plate with a...

OUCH........................ I just looked up the price on a set of Kubota Quick Disconnects for a snow plow set up. They are 26$ each. O, and add 2.75$ for the plastic caps/plugs. Is that the normal price for these things?
