    How do you store your PTO shafts when not installed? Right now mine sit up on a shelf and collect dust until the next session. Anyone hang them off walls? I am planning on building a firewood shed and storing my snow thrower and wood chipper underneath. Is it bad to store them outside and...

    Trailer Stake Pocket Tie Downs

    All, I managed to break an ATV ratchet strap this weekend and now I am looking for a long term reliable solution. I was using the ratchet strap looped through a stake pocket. The strap was not flat and smooth. It was pulled into corner if the pocket because of how my BX2360 was positioned for...

    Ballast  Too Much???

    Hey all, I just set up my ballast box and I am curious if I have too much loaded. The label says 500# for B series and 300# for BX series. I am concerned because my 3PH drifts over time. A few inches over an hour or two of use in the woods. Do I have too much loaded? I have no plans of...

    MMM Clunk and Black Smoke

    All, Yesterday I installed my 54" MMM on my BX2360 for the first time. I am a little concerned though. When I engage my Mid-PTO I hear a clunk, the tractor hood shakes a little bit, and then a puff of black smoke comes out of the muffler. This does not happen when my rear PTO. The sound...

    Rock in a Hole

    All, I am looking for the best way to get a 1.5x2x3' granite rock out 2.8' deep hole. The rock is in a tight place (surrounded on trees on 3 sides). Forth side has my lawn I am guessing the weight of this rock exceeds my FEL capacity so just lifting it out is not an option. I can wrap a tow...

    Quick Attach Pro/Cons

    Hi all, I am interested in purchasing a quick hitch for my Kubota BX2360. I am torn as to which style works best; the Pat's Easy Change or something heavier such as the JD iMatch. Keep in mind it is a SCUT so I am limited by the weight I can carry with my three point. Any thoughts? ~Kevin

    Ballast Box

    Hi all, Last night I picked up a Kubota Ballast Box for $160, used but in great shape. She is missing a scrap of paint here and there but I don't care so much about that. I remember an old Matlock episode where Ben gets caught up in a prison riot and is forced to be come the negotiator...

    PTO Driven Water Pump

    Hey all, I was curious if anyone has any experience with Trunk Pumps. I think $3K is a bit expensive, so does anyone know of any good alternatives? I am not oppose to (re)learning how to weld and making one from scratch to save $$$. Best I can tell I would need the following: - Self Priming...

    I Scratched My LA234

    Hi all, I took, Jinny, my BX2360 out into the woods today for the first time and I scratched her bucket a few hundred times. I have mixed feelings though. I was so happy moving dirt and stones but I feel sad knowing she is no longer the virgin that she was when she was delivered last week...

    Cover Your Tractor

    Hi all, It looks like I will be keeping my new Kubota BX2360 outside over the winter. The wife has decided that the under the porch storage idea is unacceptable because when she has to plow the drive all she wants to do is start the tractor and GO! So... How do you all keep your tractors...

    BX Turning Radius

    Hi all, What is the real turning radius of a BX series tractor? I have read the operating specs posted on Kubota's website and it says that the minimum turning radius is 7.5 feet (without breaking)? This seems quite high? I have not test drove one yet in a well marked parking lot so I am...

    BX1860 vs. BX2360

    Hi all, I am torn between the 18 and 23 pony options. I have taken some measurements and the 48" MMM is the right choice for my yard. Can a 48" MMM mount to a BX2360? I want the BX2360 because it has nearly 30% more HP then its little sister the 1860. More HP = More PTO power for a snow...

    Buying Advice  Is it worth it!??

    Hi all, I guess I am going to be just like most junior members and my first posting is going to be advice related. I own about .75 acres in eastern CT. The terrain is largely flat with a great many Connecticut potatoes, bolders that come through the surface, that my current push mower can not...
