    My asking price in the ballpark?

    Planning on moving from Vermont to Florida so I am thinking of selling my complete Kubota tractor and attachments. Bought it new in December 2008 and now has 398 hours on it. My signature line shows whats included. I am thinking it should be worth $12,000 What are your opinions on my asking price?

    BX 2660 Front Axle Oil Capacity

    Anyone Know For Sure how much oil the front axle actually takes? The manual says 5 quarts. Reason No. 1 for asking is my manual says 3.7 quarts for the crankcase oil with filter when it actually takes 4.25 quarts to fill it. Had to go buy another quart to finish the oil change. So I now...

    Just changed my Hydo oil

    Changed my hydro oil for the first time with just under 400 hours on the tractor. Changed the hydro oil, hydro filter, and cleaned the hydro screen. I have pulled the screen filter once before but never changed the hydro filter canister. I was getting nervous with all the talk on here about...

    Loader pivit pin replacement

    I noticed my loader bucket has some slop in the pivit points. No big deal but was wondering what typically is needed to tighten it back up. I realize no true answer can be given without knowing the true extent of the damage but is it usually just pin replacement? Is it usually a drill out with...

    Lower 3PH Snowblower

    I would like to be able to lower my 3PH snowblower about two inches. Just wondering if they make a piece that goes between an attachment and the 3PH lift arms so the attachment can be lowered further. The situation is that I have a flat driveway with a sloped road off it. When I back off the...

    Not sure what I want for a trailer

    Looking for opinions from people who know more than I do on this topic. I am looking for a trailer, preferably new, to occasially haul my Kubota. I am thinking a 4000lb 14 foot bed. Maximum load would not exceed 3000 pounds. I realize longer is better but it is also bulkier. I am thinking it...

    Mixing Front and Back Tire Tread

    I currently have R4's and like them for earth and snow moving. The problem I am seeing is mowing the lawn. My one acre lawn is mostly hills and slopes so I need to mow in 4WD. The R4's are good for traction but the front tires scuff the lawn when turning sharp. I am thinking of keeping the...

    Worklight Mounting on ROP

    I wanted to mount some worklights on my ROP and with all the posts about welding or drilling the ROP will void its certification, I designed a clamp on mount. The ROP on my BX2660 measures 1-1/2" x 3" I searched a short time for a small 3 inch inside measurement shackle bolt but could not find...

    Snowblower  BX2660 Snowblower Hydraulics

    I see Kubota offers a 51" two stage rear mount snowblower with an optional hyd chute rotator. I would prefer a front mount blower but I like the idea of having both the FEL and blower. How is the hyd rotator configured and controlled? Is it a useful option over a manual rotator? I currently do...

    Want Ballast Box Size Recommendations

    How much weight should I plan on putting on the 3PH as counter weight ballast for loader work? Thinking of welding up a combination weight/tool box and wondering what size box to build. Moving dirt with my Kubota BX2660 48" FEL bucket. With a full bucket, the rear wheels are a bit light...
