    Tires  B2x20 tires turf/bar combo or ags? pics?

    I am definitely getting turfs unloaded for my lawn but I would also like a second set to have the rears loaded for better traction with the box blade and better traction on dirt or a little mud. Anyone have pics of the turf/bar combo set? any thoughts on R4s vs ags?

    thinking of trading my BX24 for a B2620

    Thanks to reading all the posts here over the last couple of years I am realizing that I want a bigger tractor. I don't really know why except for tractors are kind of like TVs - why not have a bigger one? Anything new coming out on the B series? Would be a TLB no MMM- what other options...

    will AGS fix on my BX24 (no MMM)?

    I am hoping I can buy these through the whole goods program. Is the only fit problem with the mower? it is an 08 if it matters. Thanks

    Snow  snow removal fun. BX stuck, wife's truck stuck, yard destroyed

    I had a blast clearing my driveway after the big 20" snowfall in northern virginia. I used my BX24 with rear box blade and my Polaris 800 atv with plow. When one of them would get stuck I would use the other to get it out or use the winch on the atv. I was really feeling proud of the tools I...

    Brotek - skid plates and wheel spacer review

    Everything about the product and dealing with Richard was absolutely first rate. I am very impressed with the design of the skid plates from the trap door and holes for fluid drainage on the rear plate to the hinge for the front plate. I would recommend both skid plates to anyone with trees or...

    Herd M96 on BX?

    (This is also in the Kubota section so apologies if you see both) I talked to Dan? Herd who was extremely helpful. I really want to buy a spreader from them but he mentioned that on a BX that the PTO shaft might have to be so short that the 3pt hitch will be limited (if I raise and lower it it...

    I talked to Dan? Herd who was extremely helpful.

Anyone use these or other spreaders on...

    Rake  how often does anyone reverse landscape rake?

    Apparently Mine does not reverse unless I unbolt the blade from the 3 pt due to some metal reflectors on the ends of the blade. (woods LRC60) At first i was bothered by this but now that I think about it I don't know how often I would use this. What about everyone else?

    Woods estate 60 LRC dumb question or dumb design?

    Mine has metal "reflectors" on the top at both sides. They have a red sticker on them. because of this I cant figure out a way to reverse the tines...it does not swing around because the big metal things hit the bottom of the 3 pt. what is up with this?

    Spreader  3pt spreader for BX? what can it do/not do?

    Thinking about a herd m-96 or KK xb...will it do salt, sand, seed and fertilizer? How wide or narrow will it spread? I have about 1.5 acres of grass and I would also like to do lime but I can use pelletized if needed. Fertilizer, lime and maybe driveway salt would be the normal uses and if I...

    Grading  best box blade and landscape rake for BX?

    Bad BX day: fan belt broke, overheated, fixed, broke HST fan

    I was very proud of myself for changing the fan belt in my backyard then 1/2 hour later a branch took out all my HST fan blades. The funny thing is I was holding off on the skid plates for no good reason. Anyone have any luck cutting the replacement fan in half them gluing it together?

    Help! - fan belt broke and BX24 overheated

    I did not notice the gauge. Saw a little smoke and the temp needle was in the red. I shut the motor off...what else should I do? The reservoir cap was open and it looks like most of the coolant is gone. Should I put some in and run the motor or should I let it cool down first?

    best tire set up for mud?

    right now I have turfs on my BX and they are worthless once they are covered by mud. Would chains over the turfs be better than R4s? or are they all a waste of time until it is dry outside?

    ever use BH without turning seat around?

    in other words body facing forward as usual but turned around? I did so I could dig a long drainage ditch. It worked pretty good. I dropped the stabilizers and kept the seatbelt on but when I was ready to move I just raised the pads and hit the gas. I would have gone crazy getting off and on.

    Tires  BX24 dirt/mud tires - turf or r4 or combo?

    I have turfs now that are not loaded for my grass. Would it make sense to get R4s that are filled for better traction on mud or dirt? I think if I do this I might only get rears. Thoughts?

    Mid-Mount Mower  MMM for 08 BX24

    Spreader  PTO or ATV spreader for salt?

    Which one would be better? My driveway is about 10 feet wide so I would like something that can spread narrow spaces. Would salt damage a $500 PTO spreader? If so I can buy a cheap one for my atv and spend the big money later. I have a BX24 BTW

    BX snow removal or 1000lb ATV?

    which one would be better? I already have the atv with blade so the question is should I buy a rear blade for my BX24? Does anyone make a front blade for this without the $1800 kwikhitch setup from Kubota? We do not get a whole lot of snow here (Northern Virginia). $ wise the only thing that...
