My Kubota B2620, which is only 5 years old, has wear rips in the seat. It only has 500 hours on it and has been garage kept most of it's life. I had a Kubota BX1800 for 1200 hours that had a seat in perfect condition when I traded it in. Anyway my grumbling is done but now I'm trying to...

Here are photos of a bent bracket that attaches the hydraulic augur to the dipper on my excavator. The o-ring that held the pin in through the bracket broke and one side of the bracket is bent. I've tried putting the one side of the bracket against an immovable object (a rock) and beat the...

There is no doubt that a hydraulic auger is best. You can reverse the drive to get out of a hole and apply down pressure that you can't always do with a 3PTH. As part of my business I auger with a Kubota KX41 (photo below). It is a small excavator and find the height I can lift the auger and...

I'm an avid gardener and over the years have spent a ton of money to solve problems associated with my hobby. Most of the solutions happily involved getting new machinery and equipment. Most recently I decided it was way to hard getting straw based horse manure (of which I happily have several...

A few years ago I bought a shovel made in china. Looked good to me. Had a nice chrome finish. First time I stuck it in the ground the handle broke. My next experience was when I bought one of those garden windmills also made in china. My wife and I assembled it. That was some form of...

I guess dogs must come under the attachments forum heading. At least mine should. If Dot or Ruby think I'm doing something with the tractor they race me to it and become attachments. When I'm not working with it they're loafing on it. Anyone else have photos of their dogs with their tractor?

I just bought a 2 furrow Ferguson Dearborn plow Type 10 - AO - 28. The 10 means it is ten inches between the plow shares so the furrows are 10 inches wide. what I don't understand is how deep this plow should dig and what are the specific qualities or use of a 10 inch wide furrow. Most are 12...

Today I started my B2620 and moved it to a work area. When I went to restart it I only got the click sound but no spinning starter motor. Checked the usual problems (battery, engaged pto lever) but no. Lights work and all fuses are good. I called up my dealer and he and his mechanic advised...

Because of an unusually wet spring here in Ontario Canada, getting on my gardening was delayed more than a month. In addition to a wet spring my land is heavy clay with a compacted hard pan that can be like concrete that won't let the soil drain. I've resisted getting a sub subsoiler for some...

I have turf tires on my B2620. Most of the time they are perfect for my uses. The only time I wish the tires were agriculture tires is when I'm using ground engagement equipment (eg plow etc.) I am considering getting a full set of tires and rims that I can put on my B2620 when I need them...

When I remove the FEL from my B2620 the colour coded plugs that are supposed to be inserted in the male and female hydraulic connectors to protect them (Caps and plugs) won't stay in place. They pop off the connector as quick as I plug them in. Has anyone the same problem and has anyone found...

I think this has been on here before but for the viewing pleasure of snow dwellers who haven't seen it here is a link to an old video of a Fordson Snow Tractor. For the tractor lovers amongst us.

I anyone planning to visit the farm show in Toronto Feb 17 - 19. I've never been but plan to this year. Here is the web site FYI. Master Promotions Ltd :: Canadian International Farm Show

Anyone had experience with a International 5 rotary mower. Kinda like a bush hog. It is a 3PH with power take of shaft. Any postitive or negative comments? Thanks!

Well it doesn't take long to rack up the first 50 hours on a new tractor. Bought my B2620 last fall and needed to do the first 50 hour service this weekend. I called the dealer to ask how much they wanted to do the job and it was an unbelievable $350. Sounded pretty steep to me considering all...

Any idea what a 1952 John Deere AR 32hp tractor would be worth? It's a diesel and given the age I'd say it's in fair condition. It's been used enough but is sound and metal is good. Thanks!

I am considering buying a M.F.#25, 8' disc. Does anyone know if a small 26 HP compact tractor can handle a disc of this size? My tractor is a Kubota B2620.

On a B2620 when you pull the 3PH lever to the top (fast lift position) should it stay there or drop back to the centre position when fully lifted? Mine stays up unless I manually put it back to the centre postion. When fully up the loader can't get hydraulic power as it seems to be in constant...

Has anyone tried making a tractor cab by modifying an ATV cab to work on a tractor. Our local COSTCO has a pretty good looking cab for ATVs that they sell for less than $200. Just not sure how it could be adapted to fit my CUT.

I'd like to haul both my Mini Excavator (2 ton) and CUTractor on one flat bed. The tractor weighs about 2500 pound or less so a 5 ton trailer should do it. Weight isn't the concern. It's balance and trailer wheel placement I am not sure about. I'd like to be able to use the trailer to haul one...

Well after putting 1200 hours on my BX1800 (bought it new in 2004) I've traded it in on a new B2620. I've only put a few hours on the new tractor so my comments on it will have to wait for a later post. I just want to say a few parting word about the BX 1800 (sniff sniff). The 1800 required no...

I have a BX 1800. The oil filter the dealer has been providing me with for 4 years is 15853-32430. Sometimes it is black and sometimes it is a white Kubota one but always the same size. The last time I went in to get some filters they gave me filters that were much smaller with a HH code on...

Does anyone know what the height, breakout force and weight that can be lifted by a B2620 FEL? Thanks.

The last tractor I bought new I bought right in my home town in Ontario. I discovered I had paid thousands more than I would have paid if I bought in the US. Here I am ready to buy another new tractor and I don't want to pay too much this time. I contact Messicks Equipment and they were very...

Has anyone had dealings with AIM attachments. I'm looking at getting a hydraulic thumb from them but would like to know if I am in good hands. Bill

Can anyone tell me what a B2620 and or B7800 with mid mount mower and front end loader would typically cost in the northern states. Thanks! Bill

Can anyone tell me what a B2620 and or B7800 with mid mount mower and front end loader would typically cost in the norhtern states. Thanks! Bill

My Kubota BX has the exhaust pipe shooting out the front left side and as a result has built up quite a bit of black exhaust stain on the FEL arm. Has anyone a tried and working way to cleaning it off. I tried power washing it but only used cold water and that didn't do anything. Thanks! Bill

In one of the earlier threads one criticism of the Kubota BX (a small SCUT with 12 inch front wheels) was that it can't go through deep snow. I live in Ontario and in mid winter we can have 2-3 feet of snow on the ground and 4 and 5 foot drifts. I can pretty well travel through a foot of the...

Does anyone know what it costs to put a enclosed cab on a BX? Thanks! Bill

I am thinking of getting a new Kubota tractor but before I can do that I need to sell my BX 1800. I'd appreciate some input with regards to what it's curent value is to help me price it. I bought it new in 2004. It has a front end loader and 54 inch mid mount mower. It has been well...

I have a 6 X 10 dump trailer that I want to transport on a 2 ton excavator on. The dump trailer has tie down rings in the corners of the box. Has anyone had experience with transporting this way and if so how would recommend securing the excavator? Thanks.

Although the turf tires on my BX work well in most conditions I would like to get a set of ag tire (with rims). Can anyone tell me what they will cost and where a good source for these would be. Thanks! Bill

Just bought a feeler guage set and see there is one bronze or brass guage in the set. Can anyone enlighten me on the reason for that one guage that isn't made of steel? Thanks!

I was wondering if anyone has had experience hauling machines in dump trailers. I have a small (2 ton) excavator and I was wondering if I can haul it in in a 6 X 10 foot dump trailer. The dump trailer has ramps and the trailer sales guy says I can but I don't always trust sale guys. I don't plan...

Recently I've been having trouble with coyotes. Occasionally I'll see one while I'm on my tractor so I'd like to have my gun mounted safely on the tractor where I can easily pull it into action. Anyone have any ideas. I have a roll bar on my BX 1800 that may offer an anchor point but there...

I know this is probably not the right place to start this thread so I apologize but I wasn't sure where it should go. Anyway... I've been looking at buying a Fabric Shelter (eg garage in a box) and I was wondering what kind of experience my fellow tractor enthusiasts have had with this kind of...

I just acquired a Case 446 tractor from a friend. His Dad bought it new in 1978. The machine has hydrostatic drive, 3 point hitch, mid mount mower, snowblower, cultivator, single furrow plow, rototiller, lawn sweeper and wheel weights. The engine is gas and is a 16 HP onan. The first thing I...

My Kubota BX 1800 is overdue for an engine valve clearance adjustment. The manual says take it to a dealer however my dealer moved out of town and I don't want to haul the tractor 50 miles to get it done. I this something I can do myself with some instructins from the wise wrench fairies that...

Probably more important to the new BX owner is making sure the mowing deck is put on correctly. If you don't get the sleeve attached correctly to the power take off you may have some very expensive repairs. It cost me $150 dollars when the sleeve wasn't attached properly and it got chewed up...

Starting September 19th - 23rd the 2006 International Plowing match is happening not far from me in Peterborough Ontario. Over 100,000 visitors are expected. Tractor Heaven has come to visit. I'm soooo.. excited.

Perhaps my question is being put in the wrong place but I figure some of the equipment folks on here work on septic systems so... My leaching bed is backing up (failing to drain) Is there a preferred way to identify the problem? I have a small excavator and can dig the drain tiles up anywhere...

How often should a Mid Mount (54 inch) be greased. I know you can't over grease but does anyone actually know what the maximum number of hours I can wait. I hate pulling the mower out from under the machine. I guess a second question is does anyone have the trick to hooking up the shaft to...

I would like to know how folks rig up a back hoe for lifting objects. For example how would you sling a large rock to place on a retaining wall. Are there commercial slings or do you just use pieces of chain with hooks on them to fabricate a net around the rocks? (yes I know a thumb would be...

I have a friend who looks after a small construction company fleet. He says he prefers a pintle hitch. Says it clunks and rattles more than a ball hitch but is simpler to use and more durable. Anyone have any experience to support or counter this opinion. When I tow it will be short usually...

I have a BX 1800 and was planning to pick up a fuel filter today from the dealer. Just noticed on another post someone mentioned there are 2 fuel filters in their BX 23. Am I simply unaware of a second one on the 1800 or is a second filter something new on the 23? Thanks.

I have never operated a post hole auger and would appreciate some input before I buy one. I live in an area where the ground is hard heavy clay with lots of rocks. Is a larger size auger going to work better to clear rocks or will it be worse because of more area contact? Thanks!

I have a BX 1800. It has 600 hours on it. Recently I bought a Kubota KX 41 excavator. The KX 41 has an engine about the same size as the BX 1800. One difference in the set up is the KX has a glass trap for water incorporated as part of the fuel filter system. The BX doesn't. Also the...

I have a Kubota KX41 excavator and a BX 1800 tractor. I'm thinking about getting a post hole digger to use with one of them. I know there are some clearance challenges with the BX tractors but I wonder if my excavator (a just under 2 ton machine) would be OK to post hole dig with. I'm worried...

I have a BX 1800 (his name is Krusty) that I bought new just over two years ago. I've made this little beast work hard but I've also taking good care of it by changing fluids regularly and keeping it in a dry unheated garage. The hour meter will be clicking over to 600 hours this weekend. I...

I bought a BX 1800 2 years ago and have done 500 hours of work with it since. Amazing machine! Any way there are a few things it doesn't do that I am now thinking I want to get done. I want to trench a 350 foot 5 foot deep trench and dig out several 12 inch elm stumps. What is the minimum...

I am looking for a mini excavator. For the little I plan to do with it I'm not sure I can justify buying new so I've been looking for a used one. My main purpose is to dig out stumps of buckthorn that may have three or four stems in them up to 3 inch in diameter each. There may be a few elm...

Hello all I have two questions I hope someone can help me with. I have a BX 1800 that is 2 years old with 350 hours on its. The temperature guage has quit working and the range selector lever is almost impossible to pull out of low range into neutral. Any ideas or suggestions on how to repair...
