After doing all the maintenance on my deck, sharpened blades, etc. There was a vibration. I just thought my blade sharpener made one unbalanced during the lateest sharpening. While mowing (a total of about 20 minutes), all of a sudden there was a very bad noise, so I immediately shut down the...

Anyone have one of those drum looking tanks on legs to store fuel in? I am tired of fetching diesel from the farm co-op and am thinking about getting myself one of these things. I have seen most of them with what I assume to be water filters, and wondered if you buy them or rent them or if...

I searched all the threads and still can't find a mention of my experience trying to level the deck, and the manual is confusing. What I am experiencing is that when I lower the deck to my mowing height, it lowers, then the right side lowers more after the left reaches it's limit. Never noticed...

Anyone else have trouble sharping these darned things? I am OK with regualr blades, but these things have a hump surface that gives me fits? Hand grinder? I know I am tired of paying my local sharpening shop $24 each time I get them done, what with a new set at $55. Of course buying a new set...

BX2200 60\" MMM I just noticed this weekend that my deck when lowering it seems to be a bit uneven, in that before it reaches the final drop position, I notice that the left edge of it lowers a bit more that the right during the lowering itself. (a bit crooked in otherwords) When I placed it...

I am pondering a landscape rake for my BX2200, I had a good dealer (hard to find in these parts) tell me that in this area all it will do is ball up dirt and little else. In general, is it a good thing to have? I have some freshly filled in areas that I thought it would help level and remove...

Hi all. Hopefully not too far off topic, as I will be using my tractor for some of this one: I am considering a new spa which will weigh in excess of 4000 lbs. I want to build it myself, but am unsure of the details of the support to the deck/platform on which it will sit. It will be 8'x8' in...

I don't know much about hydraulics, but would a BX2200 be a suitable host for a three point hitch driven splitter? A guy down the street from me has one for sale, and since I don't want to pop $1000+ for one down at TSC, I wondered of anyone has any knowledge of doing this with a BX. Thanks

Just put on my cruise control (nice instructions from Kubota by the way - always good to use your prototype parts for your manuals) And while nothing quite equals the joy of the new lever on my BX, has anyone else noticed that you can't quite set it for the full pedal travel limit? Meaning that...

I am going to buy a toothbar and wondered if anyone has a compelling reason why I should pay more for the Woods product rather than the Markham welding unit. They look very similar, and I have been very impressed with my Woods box blade, but there is almost $100 difference, which I will...

I am going to change back to super udt, and my concern is that I will have some of the fluid I am using now remaining in the FEL. Is there any way I can completely drain everthing out before refilling with the right stuff? Thanks!

Has anyone discovered the limit on how much extra power would be available on a BX2200 without upgrading the alternator? I have already upgraded the headlights to the Blazers 50watt bulbs, and want to add some small clearance lights to shine on the edges of the deck, but I don't want to...

And comfy too!

Anyone upgrade/replace the stock lights with brighter bulbs? Been searching the net, seen alot of LED bulbs, some halogens, all claiming to be much brighter than stock 1157's (or whatever's in there, I assume that it's a 1156/57 type). Since it is getting dark earlier and earlier here, I will...

Anyone else experience a worn looking belt after 400+ hours? Seems a bit too soon to me. Of course this could be my excuse to add the alternator upgrade and some 747 landing lights!

I would like to ballast my wheels on my BX2200, does anyone know the best stuff to use? I have heard that windshield washer fluid works, but what is the downfall to using that stuff? And how in the heck do you get it in there? Thanks!

Please toss in your two cents about this dealer situation. About two months after getting my BX2200, I got some water in the fuel. Not knowing what it was, I called the dealer and they promptly picked up my tractor and fixed it. I never got a bill so I figured this one was a freebie (perhaps...

Anyone replaced/upgraded their oil drain plug to a valve type? I have seen these for cars that get frequent oil changes, but can't find any for my BX. The oil plug on mine feels like sometime soon it will strip, and with only 450 hours, I will be changing oil many more times.

Anyone added a Tach to their tractor? What kind? From where? Where does it hook up to? Thanks!

I know that this is seriously off topic, but there is a silent killer in our midst that most people are not aware of. It is Hepatitis C, a cause of death for more people than cancer, yet it recieves almost no publicity and carries quite a stigma. It attacks your liver, leading to cirrhosis. If...

Anyone happen to know what the wire (and plug) are for that is located on the top of the engine on the BX2200? On mine it is right by the air filter. It looks like another opportunity for me to accessorize! Also where does the temperature gauge normally stay when fully warmed up and at work...

Has anyone tried this yet? I am sure I am not the only one who has a desire for a more comfortable seat. Now that I have seen the BX23's seat I am thinking about changing over if they don't want too much for the new seat. Or has anyone found one that will fit w/o mods from a third party? (I...

Hi all, One thing that really burns my shorts is paying the kind of money that I have for my tractor and then having to pay again to get proper documentation on the product. What the heck can Kubota have into a manual - $12-15 printing costs? With this type of equipment they really should...

Hi all, Sure glad I found this place. Can anyone shed some light on proper handling of diesel. My beloved tractor has now been the victim of water in the fuel three times (white smoke, no power), twice corrected by the dealer and this last time by me. The second time it happened, I went and...
