Good Evening everyone, my friend (not yet on this TBN forum) is planning to buy a Little Bear mini-excavator. up close, it looks like good value for the money and features, but I know nothing about it does anyone here, know the brand or model details ? completely new to me, but the local...

I'm curious what others think, have experience with regarding the ZETOR tractor brand ? Mostly because I know nothing about them except from the Ads here, and a quick internet search, tractordata etc. As far as I can tell there are No Dealerships in Canada so, what does it stack up against ...

Good morning, I tried to find the best place to post this thread, as there may be some tractor people that can help me here. My apologies if this is posted in the wrong area, please re-direct as needed. I used to think that one could find almost anything through an internet search. So far...

I have a Folding BUCK Knife: Hunter 110 - I love it, and use it several times daily. That frequency actually surprises me. Though I have never previously considered this, I'm now thinking that a LEATHERMAN tool might be a nice addition to my daily pocket tools. I just have no idea what kind /...

Being in Western Canada it is very difficult to find out anything about this brand, let alone finding any Dixie Choppers that are for sale. I first became interested in Dixie Choppers upon seeing the 2004 ? show of Orange County Choppers (OCC) that featured them. I do not see a forum thread...

Good Morning, Having taken a look at the yard, after weeks of rain, I have a bit of catching up to do. Given the unexpected horse fencing and other obstacles that have surfaced on the yard since I bought the Kubota BX23S and Land Pride rotary cutter mower, there is now no practical way to...

I saw the ad for this rear blade, and I know that it will fit on my Kubota I don't know if it can spin 180 degrees ? that might be useful I currently do most of my levelling etc with a box blade, so I'm really not sure if there is a specific advantage for the rear blade ??? I have never...

There must be a Jacobsen crowd / fan-base in the TBN mix here ??? I'd like to connect, share information, knowledge, source parts etc. If you are familiar with the Jacobsen brand of Garden and Lawn Tractors (1959-1989) I'd like to learn more. I acquired my 1969 Jacobsen Super Chief 1450 last...

Started this thread because I didn't see a VOTE thread anywhere. I just saw a listing for the VOTE badged / brand of new equipment. This is totally new to me. I know nothing about them, but they look great The ad suggests that there may be a Kubota affiliation of some sort. (Kubota diesel...

saw an ad for this unit (manufactured 1991-96) 9 hp, Kawasaki 290 cc, has the 30 inch mower deck, needs a new fuel tank, needs a new battery I know that it has limitations being so small, but it would be something that I could easily get on/off of. wondering if I should consider this, or...

considering buying this unit ... pretty cool trying to decide if i would use it enough. i know nothing about these units, but i see potential

I was hoping to start a thread comparing different types of TRAILERS. The topics included seem to cover everything but trailers. I currently have a smaller single axle flat deck utility trailer (7 ft x 12 ft deck), but I would like to buy a a tandem axle Car Hauler OR Equipment Trailer...

Curious Minds (ie: mine) want to know. I tried to do a search, but found nothing I like stats and trivia, and this question has been bugging me for months ... I know, silly thoughts It started during one of my absent periods - so, I'm just trying to keep up to date. Since there are also times...

Just a little research. My friend has a smaller model JD tractor (no details, under 30 hp) that is probably 20 yrs old, I have not seen his tractor. It does have a quick attach set-up. I have been looking for a set of pallet forks, used is fine, brand is not important, if they will fit. Friend...

Good Afternoon, I've been wanting to add a tool box to the BX23S, for basic hand tools etc. I just have no idea where to place the said toolbox so that it is not in the way. Seems like the ROPS may be the only spot, however it may hinder the switch to backhoe. Maybe I need a tool box design...

I'd like to be able to save a few photos in my TBN Profile that are easily accessed as interest, references if you will. I always scramble to find the photos back of my tractors / equipment from other sources ... i think it would be nice to just have a spot on my profile that i could land them...

I have decided that it is time to get a sea can on the property. In the past 5 years, we have had a lot of changes here. 1) 3 kids graduated and moved out 2) we divided the house in half, upper and lower levels. we live in the lower level, tenants in the upper suite. Our unit is small. 3)...

Excited to announce that I am a grandfather now. On Febr 24/22 in the wee morning hour, my daughter and her husband became parents of a healthy baby boy. A C-section was required, as 2 days of trying to induce did not go as smoothly as hoped. The medical staff was amazing. Konrad and I met...

Some time ago I read a thread that discussed wheel spacers for the BX23S units. I can't locate that thread anymore, but what I do recall is that someone had noted that a specific automotive wheel spacer was identical, for a lot less money than from the tractor dealerships. I'm just wanting to...

They don't even need to be a forward extension of the loader (wings, no base) was thinking more of a snow funnel, that would make the clean-up easier, directling snow into the bucket rather than have it overflow the sides I don't yet have a plow blade, but I have used the box blade in the past...

I received a "let's get to know each other, it's really important" post response from this young lady. I don't know her She's not here as a TBN forum member, as far as I can tell I think she's just surfing social media platforms to get attention - I did not reply. Don't let her pretty face fool...

I was looking for a zero-turn forum, but this should do it. I have never heard of or seen this brand ... still not sure what the BRAND actually IS ? has a 22 hp B & S engine...

Hi all, I recently bought a manually operated Barrel Pump, to drain a large drum. I thought it was ready to go, even sealed the barrel opening to create the vacuum / siphon. The barrel is full, and temperatures are still high. Moving things to shady areas. I haven't mastered the barrel...

The photo below is described as an Ingersoll "sit on" mower. This is the only available photo. I am trying to figure out what it is as I have potential interest in these pedestal type steering mowers ... easy for me to get on/ off. What I THINK it is, ... is an 8 - 12 hp mower, probably 200 -...

I have the older JD 160 lawn tractor from 1986 - 1988, (not the LT160 lawn tractor from 2002-2005) Mine is a 1988 I found a manual that is for sale, and I think it is the correct one, but I'm not sure. The manual cover says 1986 (probably written in 1985) my question is that all of the models...

I'm wondering if there are any universal fit MMM decks ? after market decks specifically late 60's - early '70s minimum 38 inch cut to 48 inch cut

Just thought I'd see what hobbies / activities / collections / interests TBN members have. I have had WAY TOO MANY collections over the years, and I am now continuing to purge things. I think that collecting stuff was my way of coping with physical limitations that prevented me from typical...

I checled for previous threads on this, but they were all dated Years ago, so I thought I'd start a new topic / thread. I don't mean to scrape the scab off an old wound, but I am really interested in the short term run of the Cabelas tractors. Was there quality in the tractor, or were they...

I laugh every time, and I go back to it every year or so. Enjoy I wanna laugh, I wanna cry, I feel inspired, and there is just so much detail to look at, motivated my purchase, too funny ... the stories that this could tell :) So sad I'll bet that the Trade In Value was better than the...

I think that a Platform Lift (preferably used) would be very useful for me when I work on the Lawn Tractors, ATV, Utility Yard Trailers, and even push mowers. I'd like to hear from others re usefulness and value The image is an example of what I think would work.

This is the ad description, I just don't know what it is. I don't need another project, but this one caught my attention. ad photo my best guess was this, from tractordata.com TractorData.com Allis Chalmers 716 tractor information

I'm going to replace the (starter) solenoid on my little green machine. It has been acting up and unreliable for about two years, and a friend confirmed the issue. The lawn tractor is currently stored under cover by the chicken coop, and I haven't really had a good look yet, or removed the...

It's been awhile, so I forgot how the invites are sent. Suggestions ? is there a button to link to Facebook ?

I just bought this 3 pt hitch attachment the other day. $20 Cdn so I figure it will pay off How useful is it ? obviously, with the square hitch receiver it will be good for hauling trailers / loads around, and it can carry a box or platform also. I've never had this option, but the price...

So my 1988 ride-on mower with a Kawasaki engine, has had lousy brakes for about 5 yrs. I stopped using it, in favour of other, newer options. I bought some brake pads (x2) at THE local specialty yard equipment place about three years ago (that business has since shut down). I had the idea of...

Yesterday, my friend showed me a video clip (Taryl's) about the 1969 Roof Palimino lawn mower. I had never heard of such a beast. But there it was, all over the internet. It almost has a cult following, and seems to be rare - that is why he likes it, and so do I. He's a Jeep / Willys /...

I'm looking for a mid mount mower deck that will fit my Jacobsen Super Chief 1450 lawn tractor. 14 hp built between 1969-71. I'm not particular about brand, colour, cutting width, or even vintage suitability, I just want something that will fit and be functional. I won't be able to measure...

I don't have many photos with my late father who passed away in 1985 when I was 20 yrs old. One of my favourite photos however, is with Dad, as groundskeeper for the community hospital. I was 2 years old, and we are photographed on his Jacobsen Chief lawn tractor. I saw that photo for the...

I have a 2018 Kubota BX23S. This afternoon I saw a sales ad for the kubota b5320 ballast box - it is a few hours away, but picking it up could be done when my wife is in that area in a few weeks. It is used, asking $300 Cdn. I have never priced one of those boxes out, and the Dealership an...

My dad was a landscaper / groundskeeper for many years at the local hospital. He died in 1985 when I was 20 years old. I recently discovered a photo that shows Dad and me on a Jacobsen lawn tractor in April 1966 when I was not quite 2 yrs old. (trying to attach photo) The tractor would be...

I'm looking for the specs on pieces of equipment, to compare brands, features, options ... I love the one that is there for tractor data, hoping that there is a similar site for equipmwnt ? google can only do so much ... has anybody seen a Mulcher like this in this colour ? I'm trying to get...

FRONT LOADER & HYDRAULIC POST HOLE AUGER ??? (skid steer style) for compact tractors Hi Everyone, We are getting ready to do some more holes / fencing with the PTO driven, 3 point hitch, rear mount, post hole auger that I bought with my Kubota BX23S. Then I see a short video that Neal of...

Good Morning, Lately my interests have turned to yard clean-up and planning the purchase of a decent wood chipper that my BX23S can manage. I'd like some ideas from those that have experience and knowledge of chippers. - my needs are for something that will handle 3-4 inch trees / limbs...

I tried to find an existing thread for this topic, but nothing was close, so starting a new thread ... My plan is that in a year or two, I would like to replace the existing chicken coop and sheds on the yard with a nice 30 x 40 pole barn type barn with aluminum siding and perhaps a partial...

Hi Everyone, It has probably been a year since I last chceked in. Still loving and learning how to operate my BX23S. Now I have a chance to buy a Kubota G Series, G2000 Garden Tractor (production years were 1989-97) and it is in good, well maintained condition with 800 hrs on it. A friend is...

Hi Everyone, lots of thick ice, unusual long-term deep-freeze weather, and too much snow = spinning I've checked a few of the earlier posts about this issue, still looking for the best option for performance /snow removal (I may look at a rear blade in the future). The tractor was delivered...

my friend bought a Craftsman Lawn / Garden tractor, I'm just trying to direct him to the correct spot in the forum. thanks

Hi everyone, and Happy New Year of posting :) Issue: It snowed all day yesterday. In the afternoon I was plowing the driveway (8-9 inches) of snow. Only the loader is attached, backhoe removed. I did a pass, and was about to turn around when instantly all the instrumentation lighting, marker...

I posted this last week. Just wanting some feedback re priority, value for cost, usefulness or unnecessary ? I have watch some of the Messick's videos, would love opinions, knowledge and expertise from other users. Thanks. "HERE's what is included in the deal that I am pursuing... my wife is...

Greetings All, after 17 long years of waiting, I am FINALLY at a point where I can tractor-shop :) . Circumstances delayed a purchase due to medical issues and extreme bills, an unexpected priority / accessibility renovation, disability complications, and no or limited income, and a survival...

Good afternoon everyone this has probably been seen before, but I just came across it and thought that I'd share the video... not your everyday machine :) Dragster backhoe at Rocky Mountain Nationals 27 - YouTube

seems to be stuck in second gear . any thoughts to assist would be appreciated. cheers, scaredychicken

I'm (still) intending to buy a Kubota BX Series tractor, loader, backhoe, mower. hopefully, THIS YEAR I have my eye on the new / current BX23S unit - wondering how well a post hole digger works on that unit? I have seen a used BX22 (seems too small though), and also the BX25, BX25D units...

moved from general forum ... Hi all, This is a post regarding the factory snowblade attachment - the post to frame area underneath. IF I have one complaint about the 2006 Arctic Cat 400 4x4 ATV that I bought with the 60" snowblade attachment, it is that the (tiny 1/2 - 3/4 inch) posts / pins...

post moved to ATV forum. thank you

Craftsman 247.27047 I've suggested that he join the forum. Is there any specific info that would be helpful to him? Resides in Nova Scotia, Can. he has a snowblade and chains to go with it

Hi All, I just discovered the new BX23S ('17 yr model) tractor, loader, backhoe package. I'd like a mid-mount mower also, and eventually a few other options ... post hole digger, pallet forks, grapple hook, roof cover. I've been dealing with life challenges for the past two years, so I'm...

- my 2010 car accident claim is now settled... claim is done, pain remains - I think it was a decent settlement :) ... when the dust settles financially and the debts are paid, I might be able to get my long awaited Kubota. - home office (taxes, bookkeeping, marketing) and studies continue for...

just wanting to get some information about the BX25D that I hadn't considered earlier (when I was looking at the B3030). we need optional pallet fork operation on the front, and post / fencing operation on the rear. I like/ prefer the BX25D features, size etc, but had more or less given it a...

the earlier belt absolutely shredded so I was not able to get a perfect pre-replacement route that the belt goes through. No owner's manual (bought used), and some websites are helpful, but most reference the 42 " mower... bought a replacement belt and worked on the task of replacing it, but it...

Wondering if anyone could give me further information on what appears (to me) to be an 1) idling; 2) automatic clutch problem. I bought this ATV brand new in 2006, the machine is great and does everything that I need it for. Due to a back injury sustained in a motor vehicle accident in 2010...

So 2012 was a bad year for bears on our property - they (4-5) started to arrive in late June and were hungry, small / scrawny but deadly to 17 of our heritage chickens. The chickens are secured - yet again. (so is the garbage etc.) Our 12 lb jack russell treed them several times last year... up...

there is a classified ad nearby, and the offer is a 2003 model yr B7800 (first year of model) with LA402 FEL, 30 hp, hydrostatic trans (HST), 4WD, diesel, loaded rear agri tires, 3 pt hitch, PTO, walk thru deck, clean condition, low hours, and if the photo is accurate / current - appears almost...

Return of the tractor rookie. Months ago, I was regularly researching my best tractor options - using this TBN forum, the reviews tabs, posts of interest etc. All great !!! What I am really after though is a forum / link / tab that will get me the specifications on any number of tractors -...

I went looking for reviews on these tractors, but found nothing. Can anyone shed a bit of information on them ? Forklift attachment with lift capacity of 1000 lbs is needed for the honey / beekeeping. Kyoti engines... the McCormick's seemed like a reasonable option for us. My cousin is a...

I like this idea, but I have not found any reviews for these forks. what I would like to know is if they are capable (being light duty) of the 1200 lbs lift claimed. I am trying to decide if these would work for regular 800 - 1000 lbs pallet lifts, on a compact tractor? considering the...

Greetings, I am a tractor rookie, but I really want to know if there is a way to determine if a tractor is considered "grey market". Apart from obvious indicators like foreign signage I'd have no idea if I was looking at a used "grey" tractor. I am not mechanical, and I don't know enough...

Greetings everyone, checking in from BC Canada. small acreage with dog(s), cat, heritage chickens / free range chickens, and a whole lot of honeybees. Hobby Farming is in the works. I have a John Deere 160 lawn tractor (with recently confirmed Kawasaki engine) as a ride on mower/ move...
