    Buying Advice  Anybody buy/install or review an atvcabs cab for a BX? (2370/2380)

    Link here: Kubota BX238 Tractor Cab - Steel Enclosure - ATV CABS LLC Curious if anyone has any info on them. I like the idea that they can be installed & removed fairly easily. And that they are hard cabs, with decent options (Wipers, glass winders, heater option) I like the new factory...

    Old Homelite XL-12 MSRP?

    Does anyone know what the MSRP was for these saws when they were released in 1963/64? Best info I was able to find was $340 MSRP in 1982. I am just curious, doing a little history on my old saw that I inherited from my Dad. Still going by the way, after a oiler check valve replacement. Side...

    DK35se HST Questions/Issues

    I will do my best to describe my land, tasks and experiences so far with the hydro tranny on th DK35se without turning this into a bitchfest. My dealer has packed up shop, and I hope I can get some insight on my tranny. Basically, I have two issues: #1. I live on 14 acres of hilly terrain...

    DK35se Drain plugs

    I've been meaning on asking this for a while, just keep forgetting. On my DK35se there is another drain plug right next to the engine oil pan drain. (on the passenger side if you will) What's that for? I've never messed with it. When I changed my tranny fluid, I changed both oil filters, and...

    Oil & Fuel  Does WIX make tranny/Hydro filter for DK35se

    The local Kioti dealer is totally crackers on the $$$ for his filters. Wonder where I can get them online -shipped. OR, does anyone know if WIX (NAPA) makes them, and if so, what are the model #'s? Looked on WIX's web site and all they list is a fuel & engine filter. Saw some posts about Bobcat...

    Mowing  Violent start of rotary cutter

    Hey all, Have a 6' KingKutter rotary cutter on my DK35se. When I first hit the electric PTO switch to engage, it's a pretty violent start. The whole cutter shakes around for a second or two until it gets up to speed. Fine then. It's so violent at start that it keeps breaking my safety chain on...

    Any benefits in using SUDT in DK35se?

    Just curious. In my old Kubota B7610 I always used the recommended Kubota SUDT hydro fluid. My Kioti DK35se manual just states regular UDT or compatible. Besides the cold weather characteristics of SUDT, would there be any other advantages? Better flow? Quicker response on loader? How about...

    Rotary Cutter  Flex Hitch Rotary Cutter

    KK makes one of these and it claims to "flex" 15 deg. left & right, allowing the cutter to conform to irregularities of the land. Anyone know if this actually works? I haven't seen it with a slip clutch, just a shear pin. The regular KK cutter is avail with a shear pin or slip clutch. Wondering...

    RFM for "Lawn grass only"?

    Hey all, I've looked at a couple 6' & 7' RFM for my Kioti DK35se. One is a Countyline from TSC and one's a KingKuttter from Northern Tool. Both are around $1600 and rear discharge. Thing is, they both have a label on them stating "for lawn grass only". What's up with that? And what is "lawn...

    Quick Review of My DK35se hydro

    Hey all, I will give some of my initial thoughts of my DK35se. I will first say that my previous tractor was a Kubota B7610/LA351. Pluses- Loader is very strong, and quick. Bucket seems to be able to take some punishment. QA feature is nice. 2nd 3pt lift lever behind tractor. Great. Use all...

    Snowblower  Small part that came with my 3pt snowblower

    Hi all. Recently got a Puma Lynx 70" 3pt snowblower. Had some assembling to do, including the hydro rotating chute. I have this odd piece left, sorta looks like a spacer block. It's about 1/8" square & around 2"-2 1/4" long. Figured it could be a space to use for the chute? The manual...

    Lawn Vac without motor?

    I have a Snapper 22HP rider with a power-vac attachment on the 50" mowing deck. It attaches to a 3-bag grass catcher, that I usually use for picking up leaves. The "power vac" consists of a rotating blade that munches the leaves and then tosses them (pretty forcefully) into the bagger. It is...

Once again, on my second tractor purchase, this board has proved to be a priceless resource of information, specs, opinions and experiences. After a long, hard-fought battle between...

    3-Point Hitch  Shortening 3pt drive shaft for snowblower?

    On a DK35, has anyone needed to shorten the drive shaft for a 3pt snowblower. Had two dealers (who had the snowblowers) tell me I had to bring the tractor to them, and they measure the distance with the snowblower on, and cut the drive shaft it to fit, so that it didn't bind. (BTW: neither of...

    Where can I get a Blizzard 3pt blower in New England

    Hi all, decided on getting a Blizzard 64 3pt. The 24" fan convinced me that this one will work well. Anyone know where I can get one (pref new) in New England or the Northeast. Most dealers that I'v visited carry Meteor. Found a RAD (same company as Blizzard) near me for $2700. Seemed high...
