Here are some end plates that I fabricated for a 6 foot wide 3 Point Blade. Why did I do it? Snow. But it could be used for loose material as well, dirt, woodchips, sand, etc. 1. Had the idea. 2. Had the steel lying around. Only thing I bought was some 5/8" bolts and some 1/4-20s. I truly...

I've had a 5hp Vert/Horiz machine for many years. It's mostly used in the vertical position but my back is getting tired of the "hunched over for hours" process. It's OK on power except for the toughest pieces, but I don't think it would do well with a 4 way. The new one is going to be...

This is an old old old beat-up little trailer. It's hand-me-down from a friend, I have been using for general around the yard hauler. I finally destroyed the original tongue, :D , and figured it was time to give the 'beater' some TLC. It was a 4'x7' box, but the extra length made the dump...

First, I would like to give credit to AKPILOT for the inspiration and answering all of my dumb questions. ;) AK's screening plant thread can be found here: Akpilot's Screening Plant Thread I used Ak's basic design, which I think is the basic design for most of these rigs. My BX's...

This is the Bucket Scraper Blade, built for fellow TBN member Ktmpat for his BX24. It isn't made for any rough use, more for scraping up loose dirt or pulling loose fill back into a trench from the opposite side when it's not convenient to cross the trench. Also for raking up loose rocks and...

This one falls under the category of "rickety contraption". It's not clever nor highly technical, but it gets the job done. Total cost to build: $0.00 (cha-ching) All parts were scrap and surplus. Doesn't require much of a description. Soil Screener Soil Screener next to screened pile...

Cabin Fever is here! The Situation: Mowing and using the home-made leaf vac was pretty good this fall, but, there has got to be way to also rake and pick up dead grass and moist leaves? We have a little cheesy pull behind dethatcher, it's seen better days, and is only about 40" wide...

The objective was to mount lights onto the ROPS on the BX2350, without drilling, welding, cutting or altering the ROPS. I decided on a fixture, that would clamp to the ROPS. ROPS CLAMPING LIGHT BRACKETS It required some basic metal bending. Luckily under my workbench I had one of these...

We got a few inches of snow today, not a big deal, but, it was an opportunity to give the snowplow it's first true winter test. After adding the 3" carbon steel cutting edge, I then added a rubber squeegie, sandwiched between the steel edge and the moldboard. BEFORE The rubber squeegie...

I don't know if this fits in Build-it or Attachments section, forgive my inability to categorize this one. Leading up to present: I have been looking for solid steel wheel weights for 12" wheels, but even on Flea-bay the prices and shipping are killers. JD makes arguably the best weights...

Here is the question: In General, what is the best angle for the cutting edge of a blade used primarily for snow? Too shallow and it will want to glide up and over the snow missing spots, too steep (near 90 degrees) and it will push and chatter. Examples: Here is a blade that looks like...

I snagged a used 54" Deere Front Plow. Brought it home, gave it a quick pressure wash. It's now in the workshop, disassembled, getting wire brushed, fixed, painted, new hardware, etc. I'm ordering steel to make a Kubota BX/Deere Blade Quick-adapter plate. Also planning to add power angle...

Can it work? I am looking at a circuit using two parallel cylinders that will be used to set a given depth/height, but allow for adjustment hydraulically. I want to use a single Double Pilot Operated Lock/Check Valve for both cylinders, since they are to be parallel and balanced. Using one of...

This is the view from the seat. Pardon the movie frame, had to take the video and operate the machine at the same time. :o Safety First! ;) Grapple Video: Operators View

My last thread started with questions, and actually got into the build, itself. One thing lead to another, pretty quickly. I'll try to give an overview: Here is the RGB on the tractor: Rear Blade I had a cylinder in my shop, slightly used condition, approx. 2" bore x 8" travel. Used some...

I'm getting ready to try to make my manual RGB into a power angle blade. This is on a little BX2350, the blade is 60". It was a medium Duty 72" that I cut down to 60". Here's the Blade on the machine Here are the questions: I have a cylinder in mind, because it's "on the shelf" in my...

I just found a "never used" Lienbach 7300 PHD for sale by owner. My gut reaction is that it is too big for my BX2350. I have the QuickHitch, which does give higher lift, but, I'm still wondering if it is even worth trying to think it has a chance of fitting? Any thoughts?

I've been spreading wood chips in some of my wooded areas, 40 yards so far. Yesterday I got a load on my trailer (most loads have been with a small dump truck). In order to unload them easier from the flatbed trailer, I removed the expanded metal/angle iron tail gate ramp that is typical for...

It's the TG-48 model, 48" width, all gear drive (no chain). I had it dropped shipped to my place, it arrived late yesterday afternoon. The little FEL on the BX2350 was able to handle it off the back of the semi-trailer. (Notice grapple is removed for this situation). It is a heavy duty...

Sadly, I cannot claim this is mine. Just ran across this video as i was looking for some information. I don't know what section this belongs in, words cannot even begin to describe it. Enjoy. Secretly, you will want one!!! ;) Garden Tractor Gang Mower video

I have used Metals Depot (on line) to make a few steel purchases. My current order just arrived, and one of the pieces, square tube, was supposed to be 2.5" x 2.5" x 1/4" , but instead, I got 3/16" thickness. Since I am using it as a receiver-sleeve, it must have a 2" ID. the 3/16" won't...

As much as I want to build a Grader next, like Ronmar's (Grademaster-style) I really could use some Gauge Wheels for my current efforts, clearing and smoothing about 1/4 acre for lawn and landscaping. I have the wheels from HarborFreight, that take a 5/8" axle. I have found the following pics...

Was just cruising around the www and stumbled on this. A 3pt Tiller from Harbor Freight?? :confused: Seems kinda pricey too, at least, not any kind of noticeable "deal". Does anyone know anything about these things? >>HF Tiller<<

Finally finished the plumbing and electrical on the new grapple. I used the 2x6 FieldMate cylinder from Surplus Center This One as well as the Solonoid Selector Valve This Valve. Besides the actual grapple mechanism, the rest is plumbing and electrical. The BX2350 is quite compact, so, dealing...

Grapple planning stages here. I have been doing searches and pouring over all that has been written about remote hydraulics. If I build a grapple, of course, I'll need to pipe from the BX's system to a control valve, and then on to the grapple cylinder. Here is what I think I know about it...

BX2350 with 60" MMM Maybe I'm missing it, but I have read the MMM booklet 3 times, and there is no mention of a belt tensioning adjustment? Is this true, or am I really missing something? Typically there is a spring adjustment with a min/max range for spring length, at least that's how...

I just finished and used my forks on my BX2350 FEL. Soicne the BX2350 is on the small side of things, I wanted to keep the forks shorter, yet allowing for picking up things up to about the 500 lb. range. I used 2x2 square tube, 3/16" thick. They were 4 foot sections, but I ended up cutting...

I am now into the next project, a Trac Vac" style tow behind leaf and grass Vac system. Found new blowers and motors on Ebay. eBay - easy rake, Outdoor Power Equipment, Home Garden items on eBay.com I already have a Yard cart, 4' x 6' bed, and it tilts. I plan on using leftover metal...

Is there any advantage (easier?) to simply removing the bucket off of the FEL, rather than the the entire unit? I would remove FEL for better visual and clearance while mowing, just wondering if bucket removal, only, might be an option? I don't have a storage/space issue, but for those who...

Just curious, has anyone cross-reffed to find aftermarket oil filters for the BX2350 (905 engine)? My old Ford 1210 took a NAPA 1516 (WIX 51516) used them for many years. I heard a rumor that Fram's 3593A fit it? True??

Picked up my new BX2350 on Friday. Very nice machine! The 4wd hydro mowed my hills like a champ! My son is happy, no more push-mowing the hills. ;) I previously owned a Ford 1210 4wd gear shifter since 1989. Given that , I have a few Cat 1 attachments lying around. (Also am the keeper of my...
