I have a B2320DT and curious if I can safely go down this path and up. I want to go along the railing and it's bit narrow now but I can widen it. Brush near bottom might be hiding the steepest part. I may have to back up, up the hill for now as well. I need to haul a bunch of soggy dead wood...

First I know this trailer is not ideal. It is not primarily for moving the tractor, but I'm curious if it's an option or not to just bring tractor in for service once in a while. This trailer has a GVWR of 5000 LBS. It weighs 1420 LBS and that leaves 3589LBS capacity. My B2320DT weighs 1433...

I plan to buy one of these Hydraulic Dump Trailers (see image links below). I don't plan to Haul my B2320 Kubota in it. But I have a rear implement beach cleaner that has a hydraulic dump and I've been using a very low utility trailer that has a deck height of 18" to dump onto directly from...

On my B2320 the temp gauge has been reading very low for a long time. Finally I decided it was time to fix it. 9 times out of 10 it's the sending unit. I shorted the lead to ground going to the gauge (at the sending unit) and it pegged the meter. So I ordered a new sending unit. I...

It seems nobody is happy where the "Standard" location of these kits are installed (on the outside of the ROPS). I tried something a little different than other folks. I flipped the remotes upside down as I moved it inside. I think it worked out nicely. I think if I didn't flip it, it would...

Are there any sources for Box Blade Dolly's or Dolly's flexible enough to be used for one. The edges are fairly worn so it does not sit flat on it's own. And I don't keep tines on it normally. So I need to have some support on the main crossbar. And Ideally adjustable. Any home made ideas...

Doesn't it make sense to use a male and female on each valve so you get consistent direction correct? Looking on the web I see a lot of folks put all females on their remotes and all males on their implements. The implement I recently bought (Sandman TT) came with 2 males. What would you...

I just got my tractor back from dealer installing rear remotes and replacing hydro fluid. I used it for like 1/2 hr spot fixing the road and moving trailer/boat around. I then went to go hook up the new implement that I got the hydraulic remotes for. I must have started it 10 times already...

I believe MB Tractor botched my B7309 install. Duel setup. Does any one have the install instructions that they could possible scan and PM me? I took all 4 couplers off and nothing comes out of any of them except a little spit when I move the controls. Also is there any standard on what...

I plan to buy a Dumping Trailer. Like one of these: Dumping Trailers I thought perhaps if I got one big enough it could also be used to Tow B2320DT around. I rarely have to tow it. But since I'm getting the Trailer any way, why not spec it for towing B2320 too. How would Ramps work (with a...

I'm bringing tractor in to have remotes added and figured I'd let them do 100hr maintenance. I plan to have them replace Hydraulic Fluid with Super UDT and Filter. He said the cost of fluid was like $55.00 I plan to change oil myself. I asked him how much will it cost. Which would include...

I'm having rear Hydraulics added to my B2320 for a new attachment that requires it. But I figured I might as well now add a hydraulic top link to my Box Blade as well. If the Remote circuit is all set. Is adding the top Hydraulic Link just off the shelf and plug and play or is there more to...

I have a B2320 DT Tractor with just a Front End loader. I'm gonna add Sandman TT Beach cleaner to the rear. It needs hydraulics for dumping. Can I just disconnect the bucket Curl and run two long hoses (short term). Will the bucket stay put if disconnected? If I want to add permanent...

I've been trying for years to get my boat out with something less than my Jeep. I decided to give it one more go. Before using my new Jeep which I really didn't want to cover in sand just yet. Loaded up front end loader with wet sand. Weaved ropes on front tires as a wimpy chain (I don't...

I don't know if it's like this on the B2620 or the Hydro versions but what a PITA this was and a mess. I had a small pan ready and as soon as I saw the oil spreading across this cross member I grabbed the nearest thing wide enough to capture it all. They put this cross member for the Front...

I can't decide between these two oils. I suspect either would be fine but I'd like some opinions. I don't put many hours on the tractor, 10 hours per season. I mostly just maintain a dirt road with it during the warm season. I may run it as long as the ground is not frozen (Central NH). So I...

I own property in NH and it's what I need my tractor for. But my permanent residence in MA. My first tractor BX24 I bought in Central NH and paid for in full. All addresses had NH Address on paper work and never a problem. Two years later I sold it and bought a new B2320. But I took the 0%...

My tractor is almost 2 years old (in two weeks). It does not get a lot of hours. About 1-2hrs a weekend in the summer. Mostly BoxBlade work. I was putting it away and I stopped to move something and notice I could see daylight through a hole in the rear hub. One of the studs fell out. And all...

Check out how this guy is using his John Deer about half way through you'll see it. Man Builds Moat To Save Home From Flooding - Bing Videos You have to watch ad first. But it's worth it. About 2:10 into video.

I had mentioned in my review of my new B2320 that tires and RIMs mismatched brands. I then later visited the dealer while it was closed and looked through all the tractors. The tires and RIMs were like 4 brands and there was no consistency. Some tractors would have all 4 match Rim and tires...

In a follow on to the "do you use a mask thread" How many folks here run BioDiesel in their bota? Which one? What Season? How Long you been running it? Thanks Sounds like this could help with toxicity of the fumes. I don't run my tractor in the winter so this could be a good match for me.

I was cruising on my gravel road today with BoxBlade. It was popping out 100lb boulders every now and then like water mellon seeds. Hardly even noticed until I looked back and saw it. Anyway I was cruising along in 8th gear and suddenly the tracker completely stopped cold. Thought it was a...

I was on tractor for 5 hours today and I've felt better and I'm sure it the fumes. Considering how sensitive I am to fumes (paint, gas etc.) it's really not bad. But I may use a mask next time if I have to do a lot of work. Does anyone use one and possibly recommend one that is comfortable...

I had the tractor in 5th gear (Medium - 2) going up hill will a full box blade. I have been setting the break really hard so it would give me a good sign that it was on. The only time the break will stop it is if I'm in 8th or 9th gear. Since I knew I was putting a lot of load, full box blade...

server glitch, sorry for dupe

I could swear my BX24 listed changing UDT at first 50 but my new B2320 says 400. 50hrs did seem over kill.

Should I buy chains at the kubota dealer from Kubota? Does Kubota make them? What type should I get. I want them for towing boat out in sand and potentially in winter for plowing on an icey hill. I'd like them to go on and off as quick and easy as possible. Is there a common place online...

I had a chance to try the Left/Right break turns Sunday on a B2320 DTN. WOW it can turn on a dime. Any tips on of when and when not to use it? How often do you use it? Of course you wouldn't want to use it on the lawn.

The B2320 I just received doesn't have a very strong spring to return raise/lower control on the 3pt hitch to return it to center. If I use the "Slow" positions it does. If I use the fast positions it tends to stay there. Will this damage anything over time if I leave it in that position for...

The ROPs on different tractors (even from same company) seem to vary a lot on height. the BX24 was very high but foldable. The other BX's with non folderable seem very short. The B2330 is kind of in between. It would be really nice to just leave it at the 3/4 position. Then I don't have to keep...

How much should you allow the box blade to swing freely side to side with the side links? I've had it swing side ways on my route to storage and bang into things. But I thought it would be best to give it slack for when pulling a U-turn when loaded. Also has anyone tried to crown a crushed bank...

I had the unit that clamped on the bucket which worked ok but was a bit of stress on the bucket and tended to move around a bit. I could have fixed it but I'd rather it be in the rear anyway. So I bolted it onto the box blade. Took all of 30 minutes. I used three 1/2 inch diameter bolts. Two 1.5...

Can anyone with Turfs on a B2320 or similar model tell me what brand tires you have front and back? I had signed the deal for the loan and tractor with R4's and I believe they had to assign a serial number at that time and picked a tractor from another store that was correctly equiped. Next day...

I had owned a BX24 and decided to just test drive a B2320 HST just for the fun of it. I really liked it. I rarely used the back hoe on the BX24 and I was really tight on storage space. And the BX24 wasn't pulling out my boat very well at all. So I tested selling BX24 on craigslist and it was...

I took advantage of the 0% Financing available right now. When they were doing the contract they asked what do you have for insurance (including damage, not just fire and theft). I was not sure what was covered and they wrote up contract without rolling it into monthly bill. I'd have to...

Here are the specs it's the gear model I'm looking at. http://www.kubota.com/f/products/B20/pdf/b_series_spec.pdf Why does it say PTO RPM for Mid as N/A For moment I thought had no Mid PTO but it does. They list RPM's for the Rear PTO and both HST and Gear (DTN) say they are driven with...

I just sold my BX24 and looking at either a B2320 HSD or B2320 DX. I'm kind of sold on the DX (partly because of cost and how much I really get to use it). But I really like it's brute strength because of it's wide range of gearing. One concern I have is if I'm in a Jam and I immediately can't...

I got a price of $12,567.00 for a new B2320 DT (non Hydro Transmission) with Loader. Is that a good price these days?

Sorry wrong forum

I really like my BX24 but I never use the back hoe. I bought the tractor for two main purposes. Along with other random duties. Maintaining a dirt road to and around my property with a box blade. It's done quite well at this but it wouldn't hurt to be bigger and faster. Second pulling my boat...

I have a long dirt road I maintain with the BX24 and 4' box blade. It's been working fantastic. Sometimes I put it in high gear to speed the job up. It doesn't seem to phase the tractor and I only do it if the box blade is lightly filled or I'm polishing it off. But when I do this I do smell a...

I think If I had it to do over again I think I would have bought a BX23 or slightly bigger with no back hoe. It's nice having the back hoe but I rarely ever use it but I constantly need the 3 pt hitch. Is it ok to just leave the back hoe off for months at time. Will it collapse? Since the...

I only get to use my tractor on weekends. The past couple weekends the backhoe bucket was sitting on the floor. No leaks underneath and runs fine. I left the FEL bucket a few inches up to see if whole system droops and it held. Just the backhoe droops. Any ideas? Is it just lonely during...

I have removing and connecting Backhoe down pretty smooth and quick. But it sure is a pain in the butt putting 3pt on (without pinching a finger), putting box blade on (aligning and spread arms just right), getting box blade off (spreading arms) and getting 3pt off (probably the easiest). I...

The BX-24 appears to be strong enough, but the tires are just too small to grip the sand with this load. You can see in first photo the ratio of the tractor to boat and the pitch. In second photo you can see the bucket bending from the togue weight. I was really hoping I could downsize my Jeep.

Man is this thing heavy. Seems like a fairly serious loss in lift capacity. 86lbs !! Why is the bolt hole on the toothbar slotted? Is this to allow folding the toothbar up without completely removing it? The 9 tooth coulnt it pretty nice. The build is a little sloppy, many teeth crooked.

I gave the woods box blade (GBC48) a go this past weekend and overall it did a great job. I was worried because the road was very packed "crushed bank" with lots of pot holes. I didn't know if I'd make a mess or too large a job for this little tractor. The road is 1500 ft long or so. When I...

This is my first tractor. Only used it like 20hrs or so in the late fall so far. First, do I need a bolt on cutting edge? Seems like a good idea. What are the pros and cons? I do have a box blade. But I plan to use the FEL a lot for some grading, digging and I have LOTS of rocks. Curious why...

On my BX24 dealer said to count to 10 and then crank and if it doesn't start count to 10 again. But the manual said 2-3 seconds. Also how long should you crank before giving up and glowing again? It's never not started on me, but I wonder if I'm running plugs longer than I should or if I run...

I figured some you have bought ones you'd never buy again (due to spilling while pooring etc.). Are there any to avoid or look for? I saw this 5 gallon round heavy duty looking metal one at the dealer but wasn't sure if it was the right one to get. It looked like this one 5 Gal Yellow Type 1...

What does the temp need to drop to before you bother plugging it in?

I went to install the Wallenstein Thumb on my BX24 well aware of the sliding issue. This "Third Generation" design is supposed to fix the sliding issue. I get the thing on there and just hand tighten the bolts and check how the new plate prevents it from sliding down where the high pressure...

I have a BX24 and I'm in Central NH on a lake. Here is a list of goals and worries, that I hope might be at least partially covered in a good book. 1) Keeping things natural looking and not over done. 2) Low maintenance, there is very little lawn now and I'll probably keep it that way. 3)...

It's my understanding it's not a good Idea to travel with a big rock in the Backhoe bucket/thumb. So how do you move them, to another area? Trying to pick up a big rock (after it's been dug out by backhoe thumb) with the FEL isn't that easy chasing it and can make a mess trying to get under it...

I talked to the guys on ebay that sell the Wallenstein Thumb about the slipping. The current thumb sold is a third generation and has been modified to not slide into the fitting. I saw one the other day on the shelf and there is a new plate that goes on top (that narrows the grip or limits how...

Did my first 5 hours or so yesterday. 1) I turned the tractor around on the beach a couple times (turf tires). It has slight incline as you go away from teh water (like a beach). I was in 2WD High. Oops. As I turned up the incline it stopped. It didn't spin tires it just didn't want to go. So I...

Does home owners cover the tractor if it were stolen or something?

I was uncomfortable with the sales person at Messicks (not Neil, Neil is great). So I canceled. I was ready to wait till spring but I called my local dealer one more time who is not known for negociating much (MB Tractor in NH). Well they did, with the money I saved on delivery because he is...

I know the BX24 might be a little small for this but I have quite a few stumps in odd places that a stump grinder is hard to get too with. Many are old stumps. Can anyone share do's and don'ts getting these out? Most are 12-18" but a couple are huge 30" or more but very rotted. I have all the...

I need to pickup my BX24 and this is a one shot deal. I'm renting the trailer and don't plan to own to do this on a regular basis. I can tow my 4500lb Boat/Trailer set with the Jeep several times 120 miles. I can't exactly accelerate at 60mph up hills but there is no need to push it. The...

A woods 48" (light duty) GBC48 is about $600.00 I was browsing for a used one and stmbled into this. This new one on ebay is $320.00 and seller has great feedback. Yeah it's probably a china import but it looks pretty beefy and weights slightly more than the light duty woods. What do you...

I've converted my boathouse into a shed (filled in part of the floor where boat would go). It's a pretty good size about size of a roomy one car garage. Any way, barn swallows nest in there in the late spring. We've been living in harmony for many years and don't want to harm them or scare them...

I have a narrow "crushed bank" road to grade (I believe it's called crush bank, I'm in NH). It's sandy with small stones and maybe a little clay to hold it together. It packs well unless water flows over it heavy. Road is only wide enough for one car to pass. It has a steep incline. It's cut...

My property is on the water. Lot's of sand. Some rough grass (which can be soft). And a "Crushed Bank (mix of sand gravel and clay I think)" steep road I wish to maintain with it. I plan to move lots of rocks. Some on the edge of the water in sand. I might try to use it to launch my boat. I...

After seeing these great prices and comments on Messicks I finally called them and pulled the trigger. I'm a little worried the tractor is overkill for my small property needs and I should just rent. I tried renting and the machine was a piece of crap but managed to get 1 job done. But these...
