So, after a day of cutting up 7 cords of tree length firewood I am mad at myself for not ordering a backhoe thumb earlier. With the thumb and a root hook I was able to pick up each of the 14-16 foot logs to waist height where I then got off and picked up the Stihl and starting cutting. Took all...

Over this weekend I noticed that the cylinder on my log splitter was weeping fluid at the back welded base. Its only dripping a very small amount after running for a while and the cylinder gets hot. Splitter is a high end manufactured unit from the late 70s, everything but the cylinder has been...

I know the general idea is a 48inch or so unit is the best match for the tractor. But is a 60 really just too big?

I generally use a hay spike on the 3pt hitch to do move these bales, but it turns out the FEL can handle the bale in a pinch.

Figured I would post a resolution to a problem for once in case it helps others out. My tractor stalled out and as tried to restart, it would run for a few minutes and then die out again. I checked the fuel level, safety switches nothing worked. Finally it would not start back up at all, but...

I am seriously thinking of trading in / selling the BX24 for either of these 2 models with a backhoe. I use the BX for caring for the 4.5 acre horse farm / house I have. I want something I can mow the lawn with but yet work clearing the land in the back. I have reached the end of the BX...

I have opportunity to buy an Oliver OC-3 crawler with loader. I'm looking for any sort of info on them. I'm going to go look at it better in the morning but at first glance it looks to be in really good condition. Was wondering what if anything I should look out for on it.

The wife wanted another 50 or so feet cleared for a paddock with a riding ring / track along the outside so that way the ring would be 150ft x 65. Well with this being New England I knew it wouldn't be an easy task. I figured I would do as much as possible with the BX and then rent a mini...

I just repowered my Trac-Vac with a larger engine and impeller set up that I got used. The new set up uses 8inch hose. I was using a cheap plastic Agri-Fab mower deck boot but that only works for 7inch or 6inch hoses. I did call Trac-Vac for the MSRP of a 8inch boot for my mower and at 200$ I...

I have an old old Duerr log splitter. Long story short I need to put a new valve on it and was looking at surplus center for a replacement and found 2 that look like they will work. https://www.surpluscenter.com/item.asp?catname=hydraulic&qty=1&item=9-7724 and...

I saw these this morning and was wondering if any one had purchased them for their BX. Construction Attachments 42" Compact Pallet Forks For Kubota BX Construction Attachments 42" Kubota BX series Pin-On pallet forks for LA203 and LA243 Loaders My concerns are that...

All figured I would share this in case someone hasn't shared it already. This is the cheapest way I found to add a receiver hitch to the rear draw bar of a BX series tractor. Pick up a "Step Bumper Receiver" from Harbor Freight Tools for $19.99 (without coupons). ITEM 67159-2VGA The 2 new...

Guys I bought a used Trac Vac 580 6hp leaf vac a while back for 200$. I am using it behind my BX24 with a 54in mower. I find that for grass clippings the 6inch hose is not a problem, but this time of year the leaves tend to build up and even going slow tend to clog up the hose. I was looking...

Hey guys. I bought this off craigslist from a really nice guy who fabbed it up for his BX. He only sold it since he started tinkering on another plow which he made with the same mount set up. The mounting plate connects to the tractor where the brush guard goes. This is a steel plate with a...

OUCH........................ I just looked up the price on a set of Kubota Quick Disconnects for a snow plow set up. They are 26$ each. O, and add 2.75$ for the plastic caps/plugs. Is that the normal price for these things?

I have looking at the American Solutions Grapple for the BX series for a long while but repeated attempts to get in touch with the company have gone un-answered. So I have been thinking from time to time of building one myself, but being busy I haven't really made any progress other than...

Has anyone built their own smaller scale hydroseeder? Every year I end up reseeding part of my lawn from damage caused during the winter as well as fixing up the paddock that gets destroyed by the horses during the winter. This is a lot of work each spring, rough up the ground, spread...

Well I finally got started on a job I had been meaning to do for about 3 years. That job Pulling as many rocks out of my field as my BX could do. In about 3 hours I pulled about 120 medium to large size rocks out of a 150 x 75 foot section of my field. Only hit 2 that I have not been able to...

I just scored this 16 foot heavy duty landscape trailer yesterday and I had to put the BX on it just for some pictures. Pictures Picasa Web Albums - Matt - Tractor Picasa Web Albums - Matt - Tractor Only down side to the trailer is the previous owner removed the electric brakes so I will have...

Hey all, Had some time to semi finish up something I have been wanting to do for a long time. I had a HF 3pt quick hitch that really wasn't using so I fabbed up some brackets and made it fit the FEL of my BX. I figure this would be use for loading implements into the truck bed for going to...

Im looking at a used tiller thats a 48 inch tiller is it too big for the BX24?

Hey guys just stopped by my dealer to price out some snow removal equipment for my BX 24. I do have a FEL snow plow that was made from an old state plow truck, its a bit heavy for the BX makes it sort of unsteerable. This particular dealer does not stock any 3pt snowblowers due to low demand...

Is American Solutions still in business? I emailed them over a week ago about the grapple and have had no response.

So when the drive shaft on my chipper broke near the PTO output shaft it did a little bit more damage than I first thought. The rear cover is leaking hydraulic fluid from the silicone seal. From what I can tel it just got smacked by the broken shaft spinning around and that moved the cover...

So like the title says I was out chipping up some brush from my pile and I guess my Slip clutch on the drive shaft was not functioning properly and the drive shaft tor apart at the yoke closest to the tractor. I guess the only good news is that the only damage looks like the mounting for the...

I am looking in to building a 2 stall horse barn on my property. I was thinking 24x20 with a hay loft would be plenty (I don't want to make it any bigger or the wife will buy more horses :D ) The previous owners at one point decided to start to build a shed but they never got passed the...

I just picked up a used Trac Vac system at a steal of a price (225$) for leaf and grass clipping control. I need to either make or buy the boot for the the mowing deck complete the system. What size hose does the kubota grass catcher use?

There is a thread going on over in the build it yourself forum about building a QA for the FEL and I did not want to hi-jack that thread for this question. I was wondering if any one actually had one, ATI is not selling them any more due to design issues. If you have one or had one how did it...

I found a good deal locally on a Patu DC 40 mf wood chipper. Does any one have any experience with running a chipper off a BX series? The specs of the chipper seem to fall in line with the limitations of the tractor just looking for some opinions Link to chipper Patu DC 40 Woodchipper

Hello all, Found this site a little while back and have been lurking around. November 2006 I bought myself a BX 24 to handle the work around the house I bought. The house was left unmanaged for over a year, grass was 4ft high when I purchased it and just in rough shape. Here is a picture of my...
