Going along with what a number of people have already said here: the amount of dirt shown in the pictures looks "normal" to me - for a machine that could have possibly even sat around for just one day in a dusty dealer's lot. Until you start using equipment a lot I think a lot of people are...

In my *opinion* one inch of concrete isn't going to accomplish much. I can take my foot and put a piece of 1" concrete slab with one side on a rock - and break it with a good kick. The freeze is going to do the same.

Based on your description - a few things come to mind: 1) You didn't go down far enough - and 2) you left some sort of "organic" soil under the area you dug down and 3) you're not getting good drainage and the soil has a high moisture content under your walkway when the freeze comes. Hate to...

People aren't going to want to hear this on a tractor forum - but without having some serious $$ tools like one of those laser driven blade leveling devices you see on huge construction sites - you're going to have a really hard time getting the level within +/- 1" ..... with the tractor...

It still doesn't give you an open room. It gives you one that has less web pieces in the way. I forgot to mention the other reason I don't like trusses - I don't trust them to stand up to snow load - in the long term. I live in snow country , and every time there's one of those massive snow...

This is a personal prejudice of mine - but I hate trusses. I think they're completedly wasted space. You paid for walls and a roof, might as well take advantage of ALL of the space contained within those walls and roof. I built my 28x42 barn/garage about 14 years ago - and stick framed it...

This general type of question comes up often I think. Just as a comparison point: I live in a suburban neighborhood on a 1/2 acre property. I had a Kubota BX23 (FEL and backhoe) - and put about 650 hours on that tractor before decided it just wasn't big enough and got a Kubota B3200 with FEL...

So I picked up the tractor a couple of weeks back, it didn't have a battery in it so I couldn't even try to start it. Got a battery about a week ago - and the thing turns over like a champ but doesn't even give a hint of starting. The previous owner told me the guy he got it from had said it...

How big of a finish mower will the tractor handle - would it handle something sized for Sub Compact tractor?

I see a lot of people making that very same comment on other forums too. Unfortunately it seems that the tractors far outlast the decks - so the likelihood of finding a trashed tractor with a good deck is somewhere between slim and none from what I've been seeing. I did see a guy on another...

I'm going to be picking up a John Deere 316 shortly (my first John Deere - hope my Kubota doesn't get jealous).... but it doesn't come with a mower deck. My main interest in picking up this tractor is use it to mow with and I hope restore it some to have a project to work on. But I've been...

That was my thought - looking at the pictures. The dip part looks like it was either made originally as a piece of a ramp - and reused - because it has the traction bars on it - or , as you pointed out - it was a dip that was filled in later when the trailer was used for something else.

I haven't read the whole thread, so somebody may have already said this - but to me the question on whether or not you need a tractor depends more on what you want to get done - instead of how many acres you have. I live on a 1/2 acre lot in a suburb - and put 600 hours on my BX23 before I...

If I believed in Snopes - or the media - I would have just gone to Google :ROFLMAO: , and used whatever results they gave me to "disprove" the video. I'm sure Snopes would have been one of the top results. If had believed that would give me actual truthful results - I wouldn't have posted the...

Well that's good I suppose for this particular thing , but I haven't used Snopes in years to validate anything. Once I found out they were playing political games I gave up completely on them. In this day and age just saying " Snopes said that isn't true" is a really bad habit to get into...

Well that's why I figured I would ask here. I know there's a bunch of guys here who actually are farmers. My problem with stuff like what they're asserting in that video - is that the US Government HAS done this kind of thing before - during the Great Depression. And given the general level...

A friend sent me this video - and there was no better place that I could think of to get a sense of whether there was anything to it or not - than Tractorbynet. Number of people claiming that the government appears to be trying to cause intentional food shortages by paying farmers to destroy...

If it was me - I would go to the Artillian site and see if they have their SSQA type fork frame in stock - and if they do - get one ordered - and cancel the Kubota fork frame. Also - compare whatever forks that Kubota is going to supply - with what Artilian supplies. There is a wide range of...

While my BH77 hoe was removed from the tractor over the winter - I managed to whack one of the outrigger hydraulic hoses and rupture it. So I've got to replace the hose. I've got Parker hose - and a the correct crimper and fittings to replace the hose , but one end of the hose has a 90 degree...

I'm looking to add some hydraulics to my tractor, and I want to run hard lines for at least some of it. I've picked a couple of good benders (Diacro and Baileigh) - and I've got a quality Parker flare tool on it's way. Also stopped at the local Parker Store today and picked up a length of 3/8"...

I'm working thru a setup I want to install on my Kubota B3200 for a hydraulic thumb on the backhoe. The specs list the "pump flow" as 6.7gpm - and the "total flow" as 9.9gpm. The "steering flow" is listed as 3.2gpm. Steering flow + pump flow = total flow. Do I need to size the GPM of the...

I'm contemplating going hydraulic on my backhoe grapple. One of the things I'm trying to figure out - is how to route some of the hydraulic lines down to the cylinder and clamp them to the backhoe arm(s). The most direct and simplest way in one case - would be to drill a hole (like a 1/4"...

I'm trying to figure out what type of fittings my Kubota BH77 backhoe has - as well as some of the other assorted devices I have with hydraulics. Does anybody sell an assortment pack with all the different versions (thread sizes, pitches - etc) in it? I was thinking that might make it...

I put this in the welding forum because I would be using the sander(s) - for prep and cleanup work on steel welding projects. I'm slowly outfitting my shop to get some "real" work done. The goal is to (hopefully) - have a well outfitted shop I can use to maybe support a small business or...

Friend of mine has a B2650 with the cab. It's been sort of hot around here, up in the low 90's recently with high humidity. He had been cutting the lawn during the day - and parked the tractor. Overnight it cooled down quite a bit - into the low 50's. He looks out the next morning - and it...

I'd like to make some lubricatable pivot pins for the thumb on my Kubota BH77 backhoe. The factory supplied pivot pins do not have grease fittings and after the hoe sat for a number of months - I ran into a problem because one of the pins was so dry the thumb was hanging up. I've also got an...

Wondering if somebody can answer this question for me..... I've got a piece of my property where I am raising the grade by 2-3 feet. It's New England, so the soil - both the subsoil and the topsoil, can be pretty rocky. I've laid down 1-2 feet of the subsoil ( diggings from another part of...

Has anybody found a greasable pivot pin that will fit in the lower pivot for the thumb on a BH77 with the factory thumb? I just went to use my thumb today, after not having used it for a good year and a half - and the thing seemed like it was welded in place. After finally beating it open with...

I have a large (28x44) barn - that is currently unfinished inside - but that I would like to get some heat into so I can get some use out of if during the winter months. I've used propane heaters out there before - and they will heat up an area enough so that I'm at least not shivering so badly...

I've got somebody local to me who is looking to sell a Kubota RCK60-27B mowing deck. I can't seem to find any information on whether or not this deck will fit my Kubota B3200. I've found a few references saying this deck will fit the B7800 , B2910 - etc. - and I saw another reference saying...

So a couple of weeks ago - in the middle of the last big snowstorm we had - I went out and started the tractor, was letting it run to warm up , it ran for maybe a minute, then it died, I tried to restart it - and it wouldn't crank, and that was pretty much it. More details: the tractor has...

And I'm wondering if anybody has one - how do they like it - any problems - what are the different options on the system ?, etc. Eventually I'd like to get a CNC plasma table - but in the short term I'm going to build a pantograph table. I've already ordered one of the tracer/pantograph setups...

Got the new welder - check got the welding table - check plasma cutter in the works - check Now I just need to find a decent place to buy steel in the Northeast MA or southern NH area. Wondering if anybody knows of any decent suppliers that have a good selection and prices. In the past I've...

I have a Wacker compactor that needs some work done on it's Honda GX160 engine - and I can't seem to find the repair manual anywhere. What I really need to know is : what do I have to do to replace the crankcase oil seals?

Over the years I've been doing a bunch of work to my property - and I'm finally getting to the point where I can start finishing off some of the lot and laying down what will become the final lawn. In some areas I'm actually going to be bringing the grade up couple of feet - which I'll be doing...

One of the things on my short list of attachments to acquire - is a tiller. So I've been reading a bunch of the tiller threads here on TBN to get familiar with what is out there and try and narrow down what I want to get. King Kutter and Land Pride seem to get a lot of recommendations - and on...

I'm contemplating welding up a backhoe bucket. I've got some use for a 24" or even a 30" bucket - and they are available out on the market - but they're darn expensive. It doesn't seem like a very complicated project - except for one thing: how to bend the steel that makes up the main part of...

I really love Craigslist sometimes. Just got back from a trip up to VT to pick up a Landpride FDR1660 60" rear mower deck I found up there for $750. Got it home and really looked it over and it appears to be in good physical shape. A few rust spots here and there I can take the rust stripper...

After we moved into our place about ten years ago I discovered that we had a somewhat wet basement during certain times of the year. To try and solve this problem I have installed some footer drain piping around the house foundation and also installed some other drain piping on other parts of...

I'm sure I could get one thru my dealer - just wondering if anybody sells them online so I can get one ordered now instead of waiting until the next time the dealer is open. I've looked on Messick's and done some Google searching - but I'm not getting any hits. Nobody seems to have them listed...

I'm wondering if anybody here might have some suggestions on how to do this properly. First off - I live in MA, so the reason why I'm asking this question is because I want to make sure I do the install properly to avoid freezing damage. Second: I understand the basic rules for installing...

I'm looking for the manufacturer and part number from the hydraulic valve that comes with that kit. I'm throwing some ideas around in my head to add a hydraulic thumb to my Kubota BH77 hoe - and the valve that Woods uses looks like it might be a good fit for what I'm thinking of. I figure...

I've got a friend who's looking at a B21 tractor - but he's curious to see if there's any sources for more attachments for the backhoe (BT751). Buckets, quick couplers - anything? I've found a couple of places that list buckets for the b21 - but that is about it.

Hmm - I was figuring the one I posted the picture of would work fine - on the theory that every toothbar I've seen also has the teeth below the bottom edge of the cutting edge on the bucket. Actually - I think the one I ordered will look more like this - which still puts the tooth somewhat...

I did some searching around to try and find something I thought would work properly - I even picked up a Kubota backhoe bucket tooth (bolt on) - and weld-on adapter for a toothbar to see if I thought that might work. Finally found the Hensley stuff - and ordered just one of the weld-on tooth...

After struggling with a tooth bar - I decided last year that instead of going the toothbar route , what I was going to do was just have two buckets for the FEL on my Kubota B3200. I got the 60" bucket and I'll use that for hauling material and clearing snow - etc. Then I bought a 54" bucket -...

I know I have seen this topic covered before here on TBN - but I can't seem to find the threads. I've got a B3200. I've seen a number of people here giving very good reviews to the Stabilworks telescoping stabilizers. But reading about those jarred loose some memories - don't some of the...

I have some grading I'm going to have to do on my property - and while contemplating which box blade to get, I also started thinking I might want to put a top and tilt setup on the tractor too (Kubota B3200). I have the tractor setup for a backhoe - so there are hydraulic ports at the back I...

So I've been contemplating adding a cab to my B3200. I've looked at a bunch of options - and there doesn't appear to be too many choices out there for the B3200 for a "hard" cab. Plus - I've got an issue because I would like the tractor to still be able to fit inside my garage - thru a 7ft...

Off and on over the years I've contemplated investing in timber land. Part of this is just a desire to own land. Part of it's a desire to have something as a retirement savings that won't get destroyed by the government and/or the banking system, part of it is an excuse to get a bigger...

I had the brochure for the Canadian version of the B50 open on my work PC. Link is here: Products: B2650 Kubota Canada Ltd. Also check out the attached picture (from the Canadian brochure) . One of the interesting things is that the lockdown pins - are basically located almost inline with...

Has anybody bought one of these recently? From what I've been reading the Kubota rear blowers for the B3200 are available in 51" width or 64" width. I would be looking at the 64" model. I would like to get the hydraulic chute rotate and deflector adjustment - but I may just add it later also...

I bought a B3200 earlier this year - after having a BX23 for about 7 years. One thing I've noticed with the B3200 is that the thing smokes like crazy on startup when it's cold. I don't recall having this problem with the BX. Both tractors are kept in an unheated fully enclosed garage. Neither...

I did some quick searching and nothing popped up on this - so apologies if there's another thread out there that already covers it. I am thinking seriously about getting a rock bucket (tined bucket for sifting rocks out of dirt) for my B3200. My property is infested with rocks - and I have a...

I have a Stihl MS290 "Farm Boss" saw. Bought it a few years ago and used it very occasionally keeping up the property. This year I've cut down a number of decent sized trees on my lot - and I thought that the bar oiler had been working ok - I saw a small amount of oil on the bar - and the oil...

I have a friend who is trying to unload his 1981 Ford 340A 44hp industrial tractor with a front end loader with 6ft bucket. He's got it on Craigslist, but so far no bites. He's located in NH. I did some quick searching and I found a few of these for sale out on the interwebs...

I recently picked up a B3200 with the 60" bucket - and one of the options I ordered from the dealer - was a toothbar. So when I go to pickup the tractor - they tell me that the toothbar doesn't fit because Kubota has changed something with the cutting edges on the bucket. The whole thing...

I have a large willow tree on the back property line of my lot. When I say large I mean the trunk is probably close to 3ft in diameter near the base - and the tree is probably about 120 feet high. Over the last few years - the tree has shed 2 or 3 large portions of the trunk ( like 1 1/2 ft...

While I'm waiting to get my Kubota B3200, I've been investigating options on how to add more hydraulics. Ultimately I want to add a grapple - and potentially other - functions to the FEL. I stopped by the Kubota dealer today and was looking at some of the stuff they had out on the lot - and...

I'm wondering if there are any B26 owners out there who might be able to help me out by taking some measurements from their BT820 backhoe. First an explanation: I noticed that the BH77 backhoe that goes on the B3200, B3300SU, L3200 and L3800 - looked very similar to the BT820 backhoe that goes...

I've had some of the pieces lying around to build a dump trailer for a few years now. I'm thinking I may soon actually have the time to work on it. Problem is - I would like to build the dump bed out of aluminum. I figure it would save a decent amount of weight - and also since it would be...

The B3200/B3300SU come with two FEL bucket options - my dealer only has tractors on the lot with the 60" bucket installed - and I've noticed that every single one of them has a sticker on that that says "light duty". I am trying to decide whether to get the tractor with the 54" bucket - or the...

I've been comparing a Kubota B3300 and L3800 on their specs (trying to make a purchase decision) - and their is something that is bugging me - because it sort of doesn't make any sense. When I look at the loader specs for the two tractors I see...

I'm wondering if anybody knows the answer to this question. Would the quick attach backhoe bucket setup from a B26 backhoe - fit on a BH77 backhoe (on a B or L series tractor)? And would the hydraulic thumb setup from a B26 hoe - work on the BH77 backhoe. I'm thinking of buying either a B or...

I was playing with the Build My Kubota configurator last night - comparing B3200 , B3300 , L3200 and L3800 - and I noticed that they all have the option of " remote hydraulic valves " but it's somewhat unclear what exactly the option is. I am only familiar with the hydraulic options in...

Differences between B3200, B3030 & L3200 - Buying comparison? Note: I just edited this post - I went to the dealer today and sat on an L3800 (same size as the L3200) , and the L has me interested. It doesn't actually seem all that much bigger than the B3200 and the FEL capacity is a little bit...

I'm hoping to get the final go ahead from the wife on purchasing a B3200 with FEL and backhoe to replace my BX23. One of the major reasons I want to move to a bigger tractor is the ability to have a QA bucket on the FEL. Looking around I see there are a number of options out there now for QA...

Lately I've been thinking of upgrading from my BX23 to something larger with more capability. I've been looking a little at the B3200 with backhoe and loader. Kubota now has the 5 year 0% financing - so that's helping to make this more enticing. But I'm wondering what my BX23 might be worth on...

In one of the local newspapers last week there was an ad for a Bobcat excavator - which based on the model number, was great deal. The ad had an email address so I sent off an email looking for more info. I do cruise some of the construction equipment auction sites like MachineryTrader.com and...

I have been seriously thinking of buying a tiller for my BX23. I am in New England and the soil can be rocky sometimes but the land I would be using it on mostly is not too bad. From what I have read I believe I would like to get a reverse rotation tiller. Having it side adjust would be nice...

I have been thinking of possibly purchasing an excavator - probably in the 3-4 ton range. First let me state - I do not know much about excavators - so the questions may reflect that. First - is there any manufacturer(s) that are better than the others? More reliable - better specs for the...

I was at my local Kubota dealer the other day and I was looking at the B7610 they had in their showroom (every now and then I think I should have gone a little bit bigger when I got my BX23) - well the salesman said that there is a 7610 replacement coming shortly - like in the next couple of...

Last year I dug down the foundation on my house and waterproofed the entire rear foundation wall and added a footer drain that currently goes about 20ft into the rear yard where it just ends ( I need a drain field but havent had time to put it in). I also had a problem last year after digging...

Last year I started excavation on the hole for my new garage. The site is on a slight slope so to get down to a good base soil I stepped the excavation approximately 16" so that I was down to good soil for the footer on both the higher and the lower parts of the excavation. Then last fall we got...

I just found out that I can get a tax deduction for investing in a new - more efficient gas boiler, but I must purchase one by the end of March. This was on my list of to-do's anyway because I added onto the house a couple of years ago (still need to finish) and the current boiler is old and...

I figure somebody out there might be able to help me dig up this info. I have been thinking about making a quick attach for the bucket on my Kubota BX tractor. I have seen the Bobcat mini track loaders like the MT52 and the MT55 which have what I believe is a downsized version of the quick...

Wondering if anybody out there has any opinions of or ownership experience of Chevy Suburban/GMC Yukon XL and Ford Excursion. I have been thinking of buying a used truck and what I have want is something that I can tow a decent load with, carry a number of people in, and fit a 4x8 sheet of...

My current project is running some conduits and a water line thru the foundation wall of my house to supply a detached garage I will be building in the spring. I rented a core drill with a 3" bit to drill the holes for the conduit and then I bought a 1" Bosch hammer drill bit for my Dewalt...

Stinkin\' BX23 seat broke again. This is a rant. Today is in the mid 60's and sunny out - rare for this time of year around here and especially welcomed because it feels like it has been raining non-stop for the past month. So as usual when there are days like this - I am outside digging...

My summer project for the tractor was to dig out a hole for the foundation for my new detached garage. I finished the hole, got the permit for the foundation, and lined up a contractor to pour it, and then it started raining and the hole filled up - with 2 feet of water. And it isn't going down...

I am getting a bit antsy - the BX24 is supposed to get introduced at the Kubota dealers meeting and it has been a while since we have had any new Kubota info. For a while I was cruising the JD forums looking at the new 2305 but the high has worn off. So when is the Kubota dealers meeting ? -...

Last year as the days started getting shorter and I was working into the dark many nights I realized that the headlights on my BX23 were pretty much useless in many cases - especially when traveling with the FEL bucket raised - because the bucket blocked the headlights. So I experimented a bit...

I know there are a few dealers lurking on this site. Does anybody have any idea of how many BX tractors are sold every year? When I picked up my BX23 at the dealer last week the shop supervisor made the comment that they " sell these by the containerload - we have hundreds out in the field"...

This might be a stupid question - but - what would actually prove that somebody was the legitimate owner of a tractor? I bought my Kubota BX23 last year and have been making the payments since then - when I finally pay it off is there a title of ownership - like with an automobile - that I will...

Since I got the tractor I have been doing more and more welding. I have a bunch of projects lined up and am now wondering if am using the right welding process for what I want to do. I currently have a Miller EconoTig and an HTP MIG welder. The MIG is broken (wire feed does not work) so when I...

There have been a few posts appearing with tidbits of info about new Kubotas coming next year. Supposedly there is a replacement in the works for the BX23. So I figured I would put my laundry list of wishes out in the faint hope that Kubota actually reads these forums and this might strike a...

I have been thinking about either buying or building a small dump trailer for a while now. What I was looking for was something that I could both tow behind my BX23 and also possibly tow on-road if needed. My best candidate has been the Pronovost/KingKutter 1.5 ton dual axle dump trailer but all...

A couple of years ago now I added a second floor onto my ranch style house. As part of that project the original front steps were ripped out and a roof was added over the front door. The intent is to enclose the area and make it into a glass enclosed entry. When I did that I ran out out time to...

I have a project coming up that I think would go a lot easier if I had a winch to help out with. I have a BX23 with the high amp alternator and was wondering if one of the Warn (or other brand) ATV style winches would work on the tractor. I need to go back and look at the specs but if I remember...

Anybody know what the front quick hitch costs for the BX? I think the part # is BX2751 - I am thinking about getting the quick hitch and a front blade for the upcoming winter and was wondering what the cost of the quick hitch was.

It has taken a while but I have built up a pretty big pile of dirt in the back corner of my lot. Last summer I started the pile when I excavated for a new driveway. This year it has been added to substantially as I excavate for my new garage. Saw one of the other posts where the user had used...

I just noticed recently that the front axle on my BX23 appears to be leaking. I have a definite leak on the right hand side of the axle where the wheel hub pivots on the main axle assembly and then it also looks like there is a leak around the center axle pivot point. Has anybody else seen...

24\" bucket mounted on a BX23 backhoe A while back TBN member Stef put up some postings in which he mentioned that he had a 24" bucket for his BX backhoe. I was the lucky recipient of that bucket when he decided to sell it because he was B3030 (lucky ). Well I finally got a chance to mount...

Wondering if anybody out there has any experience with some of the Boboat (or other brands) mini skid steers. For a number of months now I have contemplating modifying my BX23 to make the FEL bucket a quick attach setup somehow. I have run a bunch of ideas thru my head and none of them really...

I have been contemplating getting a tiller for my BX23 and was wondering what I should be looking for. I know there are chain and gear drive tillers - is one 'better' than the other? I have seen both offset and non offset styles also. I have also seen tillers with differing amounts of tines on...

Wondering if anybody knows of any Pronovost dealers in the New England area. I have been thinking off and on about buying one of their dump trailers and can't seem to find anybody who carries them in New England.

How much for Woods 48 or 60\" pulverizer? Anybody know how much a Woods 48" or 60" pulverizer would go for? Thinking ahead a little for next year when I should have a chance to redo my lawn and I was wondering how much one of these costs. I may have a line on a used one and I was wondering if...

Got the mail tonite when I came home from work and there was a promotional mailer from Woods in there with a card good for $100 off thru July 10 for purchasing a Woods product. There are a few more implements I wouldn't mind having - like a landscape rake, a tiller, and maybe a power rake. They...

As soon as the ground thawed I started digging with the BX23 to get a foundation hole dug for my new garage. It has been raining every weekend which has slowed down progress quite a bit but at least the rock harvest has been good. Attached is pic showing a big one that appeared to be grown to...

Now that the good weather is here again I am thinking about a canopy once more. I really like the new one from Firebird Fiberglass that they have at www.tractorsunshade.com . I was wondering if anybody out there has a BX22/23 with a canopy and if they had any pictures of what the canopy looks...

This may not be the correct place to post this since what I am really looking for is not a tractor attached cement mixer but one of the small electric powered units. Wondering if anybody has ever used one of these and if they had any suggestions as to who makes a good one and what I should be...

A friend of mine has a hydraulic joystick that appears to come out of some type of bulldozer or other piece of construction equipment. There are 6 ports on the bottom of the joystick for what appear to be hydraulic connections. I was wondering if this could be used with the hydraulics on my...

When I bought my BX23 last year I did not get a mower of any sort for it because initially I figured on doing nothing but excavation work with it. Now I am thinking that I may want to put a mower on it. Of course if I rip up my lawn any more I wont have to worry about mowing at all but I was...

A few weeks back I managed to score a 54" Loftness snowblower for my BX23. The snowblower was originally setup to be attached to a Ransomes golf course snowblower so it did not have a PTO shaft or the proper 3pt attachment setup to hookup to the tractor. Not having a shop to work in I had to...

I just recently acquired a 54" snowblower to go on the back of my BX23. It is a Loftness snowblower originally intended to be used on a large Jacobsen golf course mowing machine. Since it was not originally setup to be used on a tractor I have to do a little bit of adaptation to make it work on...

Now that it is the end of snow season I finally managed to score a snowblower for my BX. It came with an electric motor for the chute rotation - but I would like to add something to manipulate the chute deflector at the top of the chute too. I did a little research and it looks like the way to...

I have been looking around at hydraulic cylinder prices for a project I am thinking about for my BX23 and was wondering if anybody knew what manufacturers make good quality hydraulic cylinders. I looked up a few part numbers on www.tractorsmart.com and the prices that Kubota wants for cylinders...

The basic problem I am trying to solve here is that I want to be able to put different attachments onto the FEL on my BX23. I also want to be able to swap those attachments easily - which means I need some way of quick attaching them to the FEL. The problem is that the FEL on the BX23 is not a...

Found a friend of a friend who is looking to sell a Loftness 3pt snowblower that I think I can fit onto my BX23. Does anybody have any opinions on quality etc. of Loftness? I know from looking thru previous posts that they are typically priced on the high end of the scale. Looking for some info...

There is one for sale on Ebay right now - first time I have ever seen one of these on ebay for a BX: Model BX2537 for BX Series Tractors

Anybody heard about pricing on new B2630/3030\'s? Wondering if anybody has heard what the pricing on the new B series tractors is going to be like? Maybe I am getting cabin fever but I keep having this recurring vision of trading in my BX23 on a new B3030 with FEL and backhoe and I am looking...

I was just doing a quick search thru Ebay to see what was out there and ran across an auction for a Wallenstein backhoe that appears to be made for SubCUT sized tractors like the the Kubota BX, Deere 2210 etc. There are some pics on the auction with it mounted on a BX and a Deere. I still think...

Thought some of you NH guys might like to see this - I stopped by my deale today to take a look at a few things and they had a TZ series tractor out on the lot with one of the new Woods Groundbreaker SubCUT backhoes mounted and ready to go. I had the camera so I took a bunch of pictures...

Looking thru the latest postings I saw somebody mention that info on the new B2630/B3030 tractors was finally posted on the Kubota site so I figured I would go take a look. As I was perusing the attachments section for these tractors I saw something interesting in the snowblowers section. It...

Woke up this morning to almost whiteout conditions and about 20" of snow on the ground. It didn't stop falling until about 3:00 this afternoon. Once the snow stopped I got out the BX23 and started in on clearing up the snow. I keep the tractor in one of those temporary garage structures in my...

As the sun started going down earlier I realized that what I really needed was some work lights on the back of my BX23. I wanted to be able to use the lights with the backhoe and with attachments mounted on the back of the tractor. I also wanted them to act as backup lights so I could see what I...

finally got some of my pictures scanned in and figured I would post a few. I got sick of manhandling the box blade and rear blade on and off of the 3pt so I bought a Speeco quick hitch and adapted everything over to use it. Then I made a 2" receiver adapter so I could tow my lawn roller. The...

I am wondering if anybody out there has any opinions of the usefullness of a snow pusher vs. using a plow blade on a tractor for clearing snow. I have a BX23 and am in the process of building a 150ft or so driveway that I would like to use the tractor on for clearing snow. The problem I have is...

Wondering if anybody has ever taken a belt drive snowblower such as from a garden or lawn type tractor and converted it to use on 3pt hitch mount with PTO drive? The reason why I ask this is I see these belt drive snowblower attachments around for pretty reasonable $$ in the for sale ads and...

Wondering if anybody knows how much the beet juice costs that gets used for filling tires. I am looking into buying a lawn roller and am thinking of maybe filling it with beet juice so I don't have to drain it during the cold weather. My other choice is concrete. Both of these would also give me...

I just got my hands on a Speeco quick hitch for my BX23 but it only came with 1 set of bushings and would like to get a couple more sets of bushings for my other attachements. Anybody know the best place to get these from - I looked very quickly on Northerntool and the TSC websites but could not...

I was wondering if anybody had any insight on what to me appears to be somewhat of a disparity on the specs for the BX series 3pt hitch. Looking thru the Kubota manual and the specs on the website the maximum weight I see listed for an implement on the 3pt hitch is 375 pounds. However the specs...

While using the BX23 to excavate for my new driveway I ran into a pit ( I think there are more ) that is filled with what appears to be the remains of burned trash. There is also a sizable quantity - I estimate a couple of cubic yards - of some sort of substance that I cannot identify. This...

I have been spending a little bit of time looking around for a quick hitch for my BX23. After looking at all the options I decided I am going to get one of the Speeco CAT1 hitches. I noticed Northern Tool carries them at a decent price but for the last few weeks their website has claimed that...

I am currently in the process of using my BX23 to dig out all the roots, stumps, topsoil, and assorted junk the previous owners buried in the yard so my driveway will run to where I plan on building a garage. I have had to dig down about 2 - 2 1/2 feet to get to clay. I will then have to bring...

I have been thinking of attempting to make myself a pull behind mower from a belt driven mower deck - the one piece I would need to make this work however is the little gearbox/adapter that sits on the top of the PTO powered mower decks and takes the PTO power 90 degrees to turn the belts on the...

This is the second time something has happened to my BX23 to put it out of commision since I got it just a few short weeks ago. Last time the bolt that holds the seat to the seatframe twisted right off , this time for some reason the tractor will not start. I currently have about 47.5 hours on...

One of the first projects I have undertaken with my new BX23 is to dig out for the new driveway I am running down the side of the house back to where the new garage will be. I have the area pretty well cleared out and now have a wide trench about 2ft deep or more. Had to dig it out that much to...

A while back there had been a post in the attachments forum about some cheap forklift forks on Ebay. This came at just the right time for me because I already had it in my head to build a pallet fork attachment for the FEL on my BX23 so I could use it to move lumber / building supplies etc as I...

I have been looking to get a rear blade and decided that I want is a RB22-60 60" rear blade. I live in MA and called a couple of dealers and nobody seems to have one or be able to get one. Does anybody know of or had any experience with Kioti dealers in the New England area who might have one in...

This is just sort of a general question - what determines the lift capability of say an FEL? How does the pressure and flow of the pump affect it vs. how does the sizing of the hydraulic cylinders affect it? Will more flow and or pressure on the same size cylinder give more lift or do you have...

I had just finished digging a big stump out of my backyard and had positioned the tractor to use the backhoe to get some of the dirt off the stump and as I was turning the seat around to the backhoe position I heard a snap and the thing came off in my hands. Turned out there was one bolt...

Found out about this from a car racing email list I am on - haven't tried to use it yet but it looks like a pretty slick idea for anybody trying to get parts made: www.emachineshop.com

Just got my Kubota BX23 last week and have been having a lot of fun with it already. I have been thinking of getting the Kubota 4 way hydraulic front blade for it but I am wondering if I really need it. The uses I am thinking of the front blade for are: - plowing driveway in the winter -...

Thought somebody might be interested in this - there is a 50" snowblower for BX-Series Kubota tractors - Model BS2750 for sale on Ebay. The auction ends today - the seller describes it as being in very good shape: Kubota BS2750 snowblower

Wondering if anybody knows the legalities around driving a subCUT or CUT tractor on public roads. I know farm tractors, backhoes etc. can drive on public roads because I see them doing it all the time. I am have no idea however if you need to have the tractor registered in some fashion or if...

First let me say that I am a tractor newbie so I am looking for an education here. I have a Kubota BX23 on order that I expect to get in a couple of weeks. One of the first jobs that I have for the tractor is to strip off the topsoil on part of my property so I can save it before digging a hole...

I plan on buying a BX23 this week - have gotten a number of quotes from dealers and and just trying to conclude my decision making process. I had been thinking of getting a toothbar for the FEL on the BX23 but had a couple of dealers say that it wouldn't help. I was thinking that the toothbar...

I was wondering if anybody might be able to answer some questions about tractor tire sizing and nomenclature. I am looking into buying a BX23 and have been posting a few questions on this board that have helped with my decision-making. The tire sizes on the BX23 are listed as: front - 18x8.50-8...

I have been looking at buying a BX23 and have spent a considerable amount of time comparing it to the Massey GC2310 and the Kioti CK20. After going thru all this I have decided the BX23 is the way I want to go but after looking thru the Kubota BX brochure I have some questions on the different...

Can\'t find CK20 with loader and backhoe in NE Wondering if anybody here knows if there are any Kioti CK20HST's available in the Northeast? I am located in MA and have also been looking in NH. Went to one dealer in MA earlier this week and they had one CK20HST and one CK20 manual. Both had...

Been looking at the Massey GC2310TLB and the Kubota BX23. I have visited a couple of Massey dealers and gotten pretty much the same price - around $16,400. This is in New England - NH to be exact. Anybody have a sense of what good pricing is on these? Are there any options that I should be...

I have started my search for what I believe is the proper piece of equipment for jobs I have at hand. I have a 1/2 acre lot that I need to do significant landscaping, dig out a driveway, dig out garage foundation, and put in drainage pipes as well as other odds and ends jobs. After having...
