What type of financing is available? What kind of terms are you offering and through what organization. How about insurance. Thanks in advance.

To the OP, you may be shocked at the price of new Kubota zero turns as well. Bought a Z422 with 54" deck in September 2021 for $7,200 pre-tax. Re-priced it about a month ago at $9,400 or higher (can't recall the exact price). Like others I also took a look at current BX pricing compared to...

Doc joe, not sure I follow all your issues with your install, but I made a thread on making and installing rear remotes in my BX25 way back when. Have a look and maybe it will help you out. But, I think you’d be better off not trying to convert the non-backhoe version SVC to use in a backhoe...

I see I’m late responding. Congrats on the new Hustler. Just was going to say that I stopped at my dealer this week for some supplies. Not one new zero turn on the lot. So it’s not just a Canadian issue. Bought a Kubota Z422 with 54” deck last fall - last one or two he had in stock. Glad I did...

Just a heads up to anyone interested that I posted my lightly used 54" deck off my BX25 for sale in the classified section.

Congrat's. Can't help you with the deck lift but just bought the same zero turn but with the 54" deck. Any chance you bought the bagger for it? Looking for pic's on how it attaches since I would have to take it apart to get the ZT into my shed. Dealer says it has a fan running off a belt...

That's my experience too. Bought a Northstar generator from them a few years back. It was one that advertised clean energy with low harmonic distrotion, etc. When I got it and had the need to run it, my UPS that I set up to provide continuous power to my cable box keep clicking on and off as...

Curious how you plan to convert to SSQA. I'm thinking up upsizing from my BX25 and have been looking at the Yanmar SA424 but the lack of SSQA for the loader is kind of a deal breaker for me. On the other hand, the FEL lift capacity is drawing me in.

Cool video with city lights in the backgroud. Must have been a full moon or something since you didn't need any work lights to see what your were doing.

Not to overwhelm folks, but I did this project as well back in 2012 and posted a thread here with pic's. Think my set up is different that killingitcountry as I used the return to tank line in my set up. https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/bx25-remote-valve-project.245770/

Third line should be return to tank which is only in use when the backhoe is on. You should just cap it off on the backhoe and there should be a cap to cover the hookup on the tractor. Same set up as my BX25 with the BH601 backhoe.

So I'm soon to start on putting a sub-floor over my poured basement concrete slab. The house is 25 years old and we've never had leaks or standing water in our basement, but we have a LOT of dampness and get a lot of efflorescence, and the slab get a mottled look (blotchy dark areas), so I want...

No, I'm not shopping for one of these commercial TLB's, though I'd sure love to own one of them. I was tire kicking at one of my local Kubota dealers that sells more construction machines than homeowner/ag stuff and he had these two machines back to back in the front of the lot, so I snapped...

Not exactly a welding question, but maybe someone here can answer this question. I just bought this Goss AP-45 propane torch for doing driveway crack repairs. It is suppose to have a pilot flame so that you can keep it burning between uses. It has a valve (round knob) that you use to light it...

Like the title says, I was at my dealers today and was looking at a new B2650 cab tractor they had on the lot when the salesman came out. He asked me if I wanted to take it for a test drive and, of course,I couldn't say no. He opened it up and started it for me then said, take your time and...

Just got a Samsung Galaxy 4S and loaded the TBN android app. Coming from an iphone 3GS and the iphone app. Just want to pass on that about half of the photo's posted in threads don't download or download consistently. Sometimes, a photo that didn't download one day will the next. Kind of hit...

So, back to greasing a Husqvarna clutch bearing and bar tip. Greased mine yesterday using a basic grease gun, but I see Husky and others sell a "special" grease tool for this purpose. Any benefit to getting/using one of those? The grease didn't seem to go in real well using a standard grease...

With Sandy now come and gone here in CT, we lost power for five days. No property damage thank goodness. We purchased a 6400 WATT (running) generator last year just before Irene and had a generator interlock switch wired in last summer so we were able to run most circuits in the house...

Hmm, not a bad idea. Not sure why I didn't think about running it in series, but I'll give that some thought. That set up would leave both circuits open with the backhoe hooked up, though I can't see when I'd need both. How do you hook yours up when the BH is off - did you leave enough hose...

Well, finally started my dual rear remote project for my BX25. This all started after following Artisan's BX25 GrappleOmatic thread and thinking about adding the Thumb grapple to my FEL, but, I also have a hydraulic top link that I used on my old BX1860 with the Kubota factory dual rear remote...

Did you know that your BX hood latch has a plastic latch hook that you're suppose to use to hold the hood slightly open while you slide the plastic engine cowl out? I didn't either until I read the little sticker by the muffler outlining the procedure for removing the engine cowl. Hadn't...

OK, this might be a stupid question but I don't know the answer and need to know by tomorrow. So I have a 14" cut-off or chop saw for cutting metal. Bought it used and it came with a metal cut-off blade. Tomorrow, I need to cut down some brick pavers. Can I use the cut-off saw with the metal...

Selling my 2-year old Powerhorse 3PH splitter. Details here if interested. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/private-party-ads/227199-3-point-hitch-log-splitter.html

Been having this issue for a while and haven't found any similar posts doing a Google search. My 1990 Stihl 012 Avq goes through a tank of oil about as fast as the fuel mix. You can actually see it fling oil (I mean a lot of oil; I know some discharge is normal) on a fast rev up in RPM. Can't...

Anyone know what the differences are between a Wallenstein BX40 chipper vs the newer BX42? Might be selling my DR chipper to my BIL - he borrowed it and really likes it so now he wants one (used). Thinking of selling him mine and looking for a used BX42. However, local Craig's List has a BX40...

I haven't seen many if any complaints about the suspension in the BX seats but for me, the seat has always lacked adequate or even any real suspension to help with bumps and jolts. I never complained here about it, but in all honestly, my 18 year old Wheel Horse gave a better ride than the BX...

Seems this question comes up often enough but I couldn't find an answer to my specific question so here goes and thanks in advance for the help. I have a small 3PH wood splitter I ran from the rear remotes I had on my old BX1860. I have since traded up to a BX25. Given it comes standard with...

I hope most of you know who I'm talking about. He's been an avid contributor to TBN during my tenure here and it just occurred to me that I haven't seen a post from him in a while, so I checked and his last post was Dec 2nd. I know he was under treatment for some serious health issues and I...

Looks like Johnny Products finally introduced a johnny bucket and plow for the BX series. I really don't see much demand for the bucket, but he's selling a hydraulically angled and lifted 54" and 60" plow for the BX. Looks like the 54" with the quick hitch is $1,290 with shipping and if I read...

It's done! Traded in my BX1860 for a BX25. Signed the papers on Tuesday and my new BX25 will be delivered sometime next week. Dealer said they might be able to get it to me by the end of the week, but I told them it was actually better for me next week when things calm down from the holidays -...

For anyone who owns this backhoe for their BX, can you tell me if the stabilizers are in the up or down position for storage (when off the tractor)? In looking through the owners/installation manual, it shows a pic of the BH6000 in the storage position with the stabilizers up. Per my dealer...

Last weekend I was using my DR 3PH PTO chipper on the rear PTO. Most of what I was chipping was in the 1"-2.5" range, which it handles fine. Sort of as an experiment, I ran it at full throttle and put a 10 foot long, 3.5" to 4.0" piece of dry oak into the chipper. As it fed it ran the engine...

I was in my local hardware store last weekend and came across a decent selection of galvanized pipe. I had been thinking of a way to make axles and wheels for my 54" MMM so I can stand it up for winter storage in my shed. Gettin' tight in there as I add attachments, etc. Anyway, they sell 8"...

Well, a few months back I bought a used 14' tandem axle landscape type trailer to haul my BX and to pickup the occasional load of mulch, topsoil, etc. The trailer was in decent shape but the first thing I did was re-wire it since it had some bad connections and the existing wiring was pretty...

Just thought I'd post some pic's of my new to me BX 54" front blade that I converted from manual to hydraulic angling. I picked up the blade used from Messicks - Neil said it was used 2 times and it looked that way to me. I did have to buy the quick hitch new, which comes standard with hydraulic...

I am modifying a manual angle Kubota snow plow to add hydraulic angling. By way of background, I picked up a slightly used 54" blade from Messick's about two weeks ago for $350. Since the 60" Kubota blade that comes standard with hydraulic angling was s over $1,000, this seemed the obvious...

Quick question for anyone in the know on nylon hydraulic hose protection - can I buy a bulk quantity, say 25', and cut it down to fit multiple hose assemblies - like for my HTL and log splitter hoses? I'm just not sure if you cut this material will it unravel like regular clothing material or...

This past weekend, I installed my 54" MMM for the first time this season (did first few mows with the wheel horse). I have issues with the deck clearing the frame when trying to roll it under the tractor, so I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong. First off, I backed the tractor's rear...

I just finished adding dual rear remotes to my Kubota BX and now I'm working on adding a hydraulic top link. I would like to configure one from parts, probably Surplus Center, to compare to what it would cost to get a CCM top link with DPCV. I think I've identified all of the surplus center...

Just took down a couple of trees today and I want to put some killer on the stumps to prevent suckers growing this Spring. Was going to use a mix of diesel and roundup. Question is can I treat them now (mid winter) or do I have to wait for Spring and things to start growing? I'm guessing the...

Posted this in the Kubota forum, but now I'm thinking this question fits better here. Just don't want to make a big mistake on a used DR PTO chipper. "Well, I found a used DR PTO chipper near me for sale and I'm going to look at it on Saturday. The question is, what can I expect for...

Well, I found a used DR PTO chipper near me for sale and I'm going to look at it on Saturday. The question is, what can I expect for performance from my 13.7 PTO hp BX1850? The specs call for 19 -65 hp tractor to run it (actuall not sure on the upper end hp, but that's not an issue for me)...
