I have a BX2360 and the quick hitch lift cylinder is leaking. I have purchased the seal kit but was just wondering if anyone else has done this and if there are any tips or suggestions to make it go smoothly, at least smoother than I anticipate!
Going to start using my BX for snow removal at my house and want to add some forward and rear facing lights to the rops and was wondering if there is already wiring back there or if I need to add it or use the wiring from the rear maker lights? There is a constant 12 volt wire taped to the...
I'm looking for some help finding a parts breakdown for the Kubota V5290 Commercial straight blade plow that goes on Kubota RTV's. I can't seem to find a parts breakdown online unless I've just been looking in the wrong place. I'm looking for the mounting bracket that runs across the back of the...

Looking for a snowplow for my BX and found a used V5290 off of an RTV, does anyone know if that will fit the quick hitch on the BX or would it need to be heavily modified?
Looking for a little help with this machine. The machine belonged to a friend of mine who passed away, his family is from way out of town and I said I would help with the sale of some equipment he had and would fix some smallish issues to get the most value out of it for them. It has about 4600...
A friend of mine just purchased a used M59 with 650 hours, its in good shape, it was a rental machine I believe. It will not pick up the loader or the backhoe boom up at an idle, it doesn稚 even seem to load the engine at all when you try and it seems like the loader and hoe operate a bit slow...
Ok, this just maybe stubborn on my part but I'll ask anyway....I own a Lincoln Wire Matic 255, I stupidly purchased it years ago WITHOUT the spool gun control kit. The spool gun control kit is no longer available from Lincoln, I have been looking for a used 255 with the kit with 0 luck. I don't...
I am looking for a 4n1 bucket for my track skid steer and was looking at the CA extreme severe duty, high capacity 84" model. I was just wondering if anyone has used their products and had any input.
I have a BX2360 and added a Pats Quick Hitch to it a while ago. I searched the forum and many people spoke about a toplink from TSC but also said it was not very good. I would like to purchase a good toplink that fits and works as it should. Any first hand knowledge of one would be appreciated!
After doing a bunch of reading I'm pretty sure I'm going to load our compact wheel loader tires with WWF for ballast but have not gotten a good answer on weather or not the rubber valve stems will hold up. Any info on that would be appreciated. I looked into rimguard and my local place wanted...
Im tired of constantly having to get out of my tracked skid loader to adjust my forks when I'm doing a planting job. I'm looking for opinions from people that may have built some themselves or bought a set and if so what brand and are they pleased with them. Im looking to build/buy a set that...
With all the snow there hasn't been much outside work so I've been working in my shop on various pieces of equipment. Our wheel loader bucket was rotting out on the sides and back so I had a sheet of steel bent to fit inside the bucket and we cut part of the sides out as well. I'm going to try...
I have a friend that's looking to purchase an M59 and the Kubota dealer told him Kubota doesn't make their own 4n1 bucket, which is fine. I'm just wondering if anyone is using a 4n1 and if so what brand, and have you been happy with it? Thanks for your help.
I'm looking at used and new 3 point snow blowers for my BX2360, Ive seen a bunch on craigslist, priced a land pride out at the Kubota dealer and am just wondering if there are any manufacturers of these blowers I should stay away from. Also I have seen some guys say the 50" models are all the...
I've searched and searched and have come up empty, so I figured someone may have an idea where to go. I'm looking for a soft sided cab and would like a glass windshield, but it isn't necessary. Anybody have any thoughts or suggestions?
Just wondering if people are using 3 pt blowers on their BXs, if so, what brand and size seems to be working or not. On iously the worst part is going in reverse and craning your neck to see.
I wasn't sure where to put this, but I figured this would work. Anyway, I'm looking to buy a simple electric pressure washer, I've had two in the past, a Karcher and a Task Force 2000 from Lowes. I lent the Karcher to a friend who "just needed it for a few minutes" or hours apparantly, so he...
In a rush to mow my lawn today I needed to back the skid steer out of the barn and failed to notice the 5 gallon can of fuel I had put behind it last week to fuel the mower. I put it behind it so I would remember to fuel the mower....needless to say I didn't see it there and the skid steer...
I traded in my 10 year old Cat 287B for a slick new SVL90. This thing is slick as can be,it is positvely amazing to see the advances in technology that have been made in a tracked skid steer in the last 10 years.
I have the PTO powered bagger attachment that came off of my old BX2230 and I don't see myself using it on my 2260. It has been sitting unused for the last 3.5 years now and it is just taking up space. I figured I'd give TBN members first shot at it before I list it on Craigs list. I think $1000...
I'm getting ready to purchase a new CTL and am currently demoing the SVL90, I will be using it this coming week to move some fill and to install a couple of lawns. The Tak dealer will be out this week to give me pricing and a demo of the TL10. The 90 is quite an impressive piece of equipment and...
I am tired of having cold, wet feet while I'm working in the winter months. I'm looking for a lightweight boot thats waterproof and insulated and lasts longer than 6 months. I'm not looking for snow boots, a boot that may step in snow occasionally but not constantly and something that will keep...
Not having ever used one much, I'm thinking of buying a box blade instead of a weight box for my BX, the 5footers seem to have the weight needed to balance out the loader but is this asking too much of the machine? I would just be using it for grading a gravel drive and moving loose soil. M...
I am purchasing a used PTO powered spreader and was wondering if there is a standard way to figure the correct length of the PTO shaft and what the minimum overlap the shafts need for safe operation.
Just wondering if anybody is using a quick hitch or Pats system on their BX and if so, how far does it push implements back from the original point of attachment?
I know this isnt a tractor question, but, there is such a vast majority of knowledgeable people here I thought I'd give this a shot. I recently purchased a used Airflo MSS tailgate sander with an electric motor. It is turned on and off with a toggle switch but I want to be able to slow down the...
I am looking to purchase a loader for my BX2230 and was just wondering if its worth doing the install myself just so I know how it all hooks into the machine and so I know that it was done correctly.The dealer wants $450 to do the install.
Didn't know where to put this but figured someone here may know. I'm looking for a set of flare nut/ line wrenches from 1" to 2" for removing hydraulic lines on my equipment and cant seem to find any suppliers, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Just looking for a little info on this. I'm looking into purchasing a used 445c with about 1800hrs on it and it is a very clean machine but the PTO won't disengage. I believe the transmissions on these machines have a torque converter and a separate clutch system for the PTO so I think the...
I have a bx 2230 with no front hydraulic kit and want to add a loader, my question is, is the Kubota loader my only option and is it still available or is there some other manufacturer that makes a loader with a hydraulic kit??
I recently bought a PTO operated leaf blower for my BX and I'm wondering if it is possible to keep the three point hitch in the raised position while still operating the mid mount lift for the mower deck. Also on a totally unrelated note, I can't seem to get the mower deck to lock into the "Top"...
I was just wondering if anyone can confirm if the ASV100 and Cat 287B share the identical track rollers, idlers, and track or not. I think they do but just want to be sure before I start ordering parts.
I went to the Massachusetts construction show last week and talked to a Kubota dealer about the rumors of Kubota coming out with a skid steer. He confirmed that they will be unveiling them at their dealer meetings in October of 08' and should be available for purchase in late winter,early sping...
I just read in a trade magazine that IR has sold off the Bobcat line of equipment to Daewoo/Doosan. I don't see this as a good thing for Bobcat as the Daewoo/Doosan line of products has not been well recieved and they have been plagued with less than satisfactory equipment.
I went to the equipment show here on Wednesday and spoke to the guys from H.O. Penn, the Cat dealer here, and was asking about updating the 287B, he told me that the "new" 287 is going to be redesigned from the grond up and will be sporting the new generation of ASV's undercarriage. They will...
I was just wondering if anyone makes adapters to run front mounted attachments from a JD sub-compact to the 2230. I only ask because I have a friend that is selling a broom and snowblower cheap.
I did my (hopefully) last mowing and cleaning of the leaves for the season, after I finished I blew the machine off with my hand held blower, went to shut the machine off...nothing...still running, with the key in the off position. I checked all the fuses and they were OK, so the only way to...
Just figured I'd ask but I imagine that the Kubota loader is better than any aftermarket version. Plus, my BX does not have the hydraulics for the loader. I have been quoted at $2600 + tax for the Kubota loader and hydraulics.....Good or bad??
I know it's not a tractor but it does say "Mitsubishi equipment". Anyway, I was just wondering if anybody knows of a good source for parts for these machines, I know you can get most of the parts thru Cat but I don't want to mortgage my house to buy parts, any help would be greatly appreciated!
I am currently looking for something to cut my acre of lawn and to do light chores with around the house. It really seems that the BX machines are the way to go, especially from all the good feed back here. I had a minute the other day, and stopped at a dealer to get a quick price on one set up...
Any \"grey market\" Yanmar excavator owners?
Just wondering if anyone out there in Yanmar land owns a grey market excavator and if so the best place to deal with for parts.On a side note, I started my business about 10 years ago with a little 18 hp yanmar tractor with a loader and hoe and have...
I was just looking for some thoughts or experiences on these "kind of new" machines. I am currently looking to purchase one and am looking at the Caterpillar 277 & 287, as well as the Takehuchi TL 140 & 150, and also the ASV RC 100.Any thoughts or opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Hey guys ,I am just looking for a bit of advice, a friend of mine is looking into buying a used Ford/New Holland 1910. It is a 1988 model with 1380 hrs on it. It has the Ford loader and a Kelly hoe on it and is 4wd. To me it is in relatively good condition, the hoe is a little sloppy, but the...

I am just wondering if anybody has ever filled a tire half way with a liquid,such as anti-freeze and water?I ask because I don't need the benefit of all the weight filling them all the way would give me.I was told that filling them half way may cause the machine to surge while driving it,so I...

Scott,
You may want to check w/Lauren cab company,I know they make most of the cabs for Kubota and i know they make cabs for other machines too so the fit and finish should be comparable and they do offer ac kits depending on the machine.
Just thought I'd put this out there....I was just in Vegas for the Con Ex show and stopped by the Bobcat display and lo and behold they had a bunch of machines painted Bobcat red and white that used to be painted silver........it seems Bobcat(Ingersol Rand) has now re-badged the Earthforce...
