    Does anyone have an easy way to remove snow from equipment after use

    How about one of those little propane heaters? They require power for the fan, but you could aim it at the blower and move it around as required! I have hot water in my garage, so I usually hose everything down with hot water then pull it into the (Heated) garage! Honestly, I’m diggin the...

    Reversible fan retrofit anyone?

    It would be really nice to reverse the fan on my BX in the Winter to provide heat!! The BX fan pulls from the operator station toward the front of the machine, the ability to reverse the flow would negate the need for a dedicated heater!. Great thought food! BN

    New Kubota Corrosion

    PLEASE DO NOT USE STEEL WOOL! Doing so will only damage the existing plating on those components!! I agree that corrosion looks excessive but it’s not beyond salvage! Get some “Fluid Film”. I prefer the paste over the spray, but spray will work too. Coat everything you can see with that...

    Lol, you know when they say to read the owners manual before operation?

    How does tilting the steering wheel get you more traction? :ROFLMAO:

    Kubota B2782B Blower pushing snow

    ^^^ This! Bleeding Orange is right. I have that exact setup and it comes down to a “Feeds & Speeds” issue. in some cases its actually better to go FASTER to feed the 2nd stage Fan. i have also used my blower as a plow on really heavy slushy stuff by NOT engaging the blower drive. i have...

    Ideas for fastening strobe light to tractor roof

    TractorTYMe has it right! Use 3M VHB double sided tape, just make sure all surfaces are clean. Put the strobe exactly where you want it, because you’ll never get it off!! I always say ”3M VHB Sticks like Sh*t to a Blanket”. Cheers, BN

    Bob, common issue with a simple fix!! Take a breath! in front of the Left rear tire is the adjustment for that knob, I’m doing this from memory so bear with me: Noodle around with the knob while looking at the left rear tire, you’ll see the linkage that adjusts that knob, as I recall I had...

    Grass Bagger for Kubota BX-24 / RCK54P23BX Deck

    Bcabender, I have the KUBOTA PTO driven vacuum bagger on my BX and it’s a Monster!! It’ll suck the fur off a Cat! I’m in New England so it’s essential for leaves in the fall. The only downside is that it’s HEAVY!! It takes some muscle to attach it in the spring and remove it in the fall...

    Shop Lift

    Hazel, I have the Hd9-XW. Its awesome. The rolling oil funnel thingy is key, I tried using my oil pan on the Jack plate but it’s too awkward for your arms to work around to get to the drain plug. the oil funnel on wheels was only about 100 bucks.
