    Tractor tire size equivalents?

    Anyone know a site that gives the ag/turf tire size equivalents, particularly for as small as 8"? Are ag tires measured the same? For instance, my turf tires are 16x6.5-8, which are 16" O.D. and 6.5" wide on 8" rims. I somehow get the idea that ag tires might be measured at the base of the...

    Friend just bought a big Kubota

    He bought a 43 hp model from a dealer in Mt. Airy, NC. He said he saved the Va sales tax and also saved about $1,500 on the tractor buying at the huge dealership in Mt. Airy. He says it's about the biggest in the nation. He's got 20 acres and recently bought a huge V8 van for his family...

    Anyone using a BX on a PTO generator?

    One of my possible future tractor jobs might be to run a generator. Winpower makes one about the ideal size: 7kw normal and 10kw surge. Even the BX1500 (7.9kw PTO output) would run this one. I've a 4kw electric start gasoline generator now, but I have to turn everything off when starting my...

    BX must be getting popular, lots of copies

    Saw that Cub Cadet now has a near copy of the BX2200. This adds to the NH TZ18DA, NH TZ22DA, MF GC2300, JD 2210/4010 models. The JD 4010 seems to be the only competing 18 hp diesel. There aren't any 2 cylinder ones competing with the BX1500; it seems. Anyone know any others? What do you...

    Oil & Fuel  Fuel consumption

    Anyone know how much diesel your NH TC18, JD 4010, MF GC2300 or BX1800/2200 use per hour? Neighbor has an old JD of probably about 30ish Hp. Friend of hers who runs it says it uses a gallon/hr. Its fuel gauge no longer works. You have to stick it. Helps to know how much it uses to not have...

    Anyone know what weight 4x4s can take?

    I've a little 8' bridge over a spring-fed stream between my property and the next neighbors to the left. Its 3 parallel 8' long 4x4s with 1x4s crossways to them. Reckon the 3 4x4s will take the weight of a new BX1800 with FEL and 54" hog? I'll have to swap out the 1x4s for 5/4x6s or maybe...

    FEL for a Ford BN

    Think I have it correct. My father has an old Ford BN tractor that appears to be in really good shape. Last year, I bought him a Ford emblem ($30) for it on our way back to the airport in Dallas. I'm wondering if FELs are available that would work on it? He has a bunch of 3 pt stuff for it...

    Anyone own a Branson?

    The local dealer selling Branson tractors says they have Yanmar engines. They're compact-size, about 28 and 32 hp I think. Ralph

    Ballast  What rear weights do you have?

    Guess on the BX, you can buy the 3 pt weight bucket, rear wheel weights and/or have liquid in your tires. What do you use and why? I'd think the rear wheel weights would be a real pain to deal with when you have a flat tire. Ditto the liquid in the tire/tube. Neighbor has an old John Deere...

    Comments wanted, to replace Gravely stuff

    I've been browsing this forum and have about decided on a Kubota BX1800 to replace or augment my Gravely 5665. Initially I think I'll get the hydraulic front plow and 60" MMM. Following is the equipment I have with my Gravely that I'd like comments on regarding how well some similar equipment...
