Hi All, Have gotten a good deal of snow and ice in East Central Ohio over the past week. Have plowed my and three or four of my neighbor's drives consistently. (Three if one of my neighbors has already gotten to his, four if he and his wife are away). Anyway, on the way back from my first...

Ordered from Payne Mfg. Very nice, if a bit pricy. Mirrors clamp onto each side of the FEL and have convex glass that rotates. Forks are heavy and the stabilizer helps keep the forks from shifting, etc. Nice set up and very well built. UPS driver had to have a hernia carrying this stuff to my...

Finally pulled the trigger. After inquiring on the Board, purchased light duty forks from Payne and Sons Mfg. Great website and lots of nifty items (if a little pricy). Also bought the fork stabilizer and a set of clamp on mirrors for when I am taking the bota down the road on petrol runs...

Love my bx, but we are beginning to look at larger places, possibly a small horse farm. Won't be doing it any time soon, but, if we do, figure I might need a little larger tractor. Would like to keep the bx for smaler projects, though.

Got the bro-tek skid plate and extension from brotek. High quality craftsmanship- well designed and relatively easy to install. It was great dealing with Richard- nice guy who responded quickly to all e-mails. Only problem was that the hardware was not included with the extension (a slight...

Posted about flat tire. Eventually took wheel off and placed jack stand under axle. Took tire to nearby tire service shop- valve core replaced (no cost- nice guys). Put chain back on tire. Put wheel back on tractor. Forgot that I had pushed jack stand out of way under the tractor. Pleased at...

Where can I get them? Also, used to have a link for skid plate for b2230- anyone still have it?

Put chains on preparing for winter. In doing so let a little air out of the tires to get a little play for chains. Immediately aired tires up prior to taking tractor down off of jack. Did some work and parked tractor in shed, only to go out and find right rear tire flat when I went out to get...

Hi All, Have not been on the board for a long while. Update on wife's breast cancer is in the family and friends thread.. Suffice to say, all things considered, things are going okay. The BX2230 gave some respite (an island to veg) during tension filled times. Legitimate question- when should...

wife just diagnosed with cancer- surgery and chemo, possibly radiation to follow. Keeping things as positive as possibe, but am scared. Have two kids together- five year old boy and 2 1/2 year old daughter.

tbnfam-ML-904496-ML- Not Kubota specific

Edged and removed at base of bank, installed 17 RR ties, put down eight cu. yards of mulch (need about eight more). Used removed dirt to fill in low spot in yard next to mulch pile (read "swamp"). My buddy and I had minimal handwork to do. A little spade work to level out area where ties went...

It is called The Sunguard Sunshade. Photos of it look nice on the company site. Can get them in Deere Greene, NH Blue, or Kubota/ Kioti Orange, Neatest thing is you can personalize them. I am having them print "Hillbilly Convertible" on the back. Would like a 350Z convertible but got mu 'bota...

1) Grill guard for my bx,and 2) ROPS sunshade for my BX. Went on google and looked for an on-line site, to no avail. Can someone help me out and give me alink? If not, can someone give me a ballpark as to the cost of these two items? Thanks.

didn't realize it referred not only to the hour meter but to the amount of time it would take as well. Actually, had to remove rear bagger and got everything done in about four and a half hours, but got bogged down getting MMM back on (trying to get drive shaft on PTO when tired, cranky, sore...

Any helpful advice? You folks have helped this first time "real" tractor owner through some previous minor crises. Got everything back together and the rear bagger on- the bx cuts like a dream- yard looks great. EEven with the front end loader on, the tractor is remarkable maneuverable- no need...

Another annoying problem While cutting the grass, my fuel gauge was down on empty. Thought I was getting horrible fuel efficiency as I filled it last week. Checked the tank and it appeared to have more than just the drips that the gauge would indicate. Filled it up anyway and the gauge showed...

Just cut my lawn today for the second time- Weed and Feed seems to have made both the grass and dandelions grow out of control. That, however, is not the problem. Upon finishing, I got the grease guns out and greased the FEL,the anti scalping rollers, and the mower deck. Problem is, when I...

Just got done cutting my grass for the second time in a week with my bx. Installed the rear bagger and I swear I can wartch the needle drop on the gas gauge. Does running the rear pto affect fuel efficiency? Forgive me again for a simplistic question.

HELP!- How to remove my 60\" blade from 3 pt hitch? In my ongoing battle to become marginally facile at being able to use my bx2230, I am attempting to get it ready for spring myself. Dealer offered to come help but have to be on his time and with my schedule cannot wait around most of a day...

Sorry about all the questions but am a first time owner of a "real" tractor. Bought my bx last season and mowed once. Afterwards, rear blade was mounted. Removed MMM myself and reinstalled it tonight (thanks for the advice earlier this week- gave me some reassurance). Took mower out and dropped...

Bought my bx2230 at teh end of last cutting season. Set up for snow. Alas, did not get to use it very much. . Tractor currently has chains on rear tires, and a 60" blade on back. How long should it take me yo dismount the rear blade from three point hitch, remove the chains, mount the MMM and...

As posted before, received my Kubota and thought I had gone to heaven. AT about 20 hours developed a serious hydraulic problem which the dealer diagnosed as being the piece of copper tubing that goes to the power steering which was npot flared enough. After a minor debate with my dealer...

Dealer picked up after hydraulic fluid leak fixed and dropped back off. It sounds to me like there is aload hum coming from the back end, in the area of the three point hitch. Hope I am just paranoid. Things worked out well with the dealer, after initial problems- don't want any more...

Now that hydraulic leak is diagniosed and tractor is to be returned, I need to prepare for routine maintenance. As such, received a grease gun for X-mas from in-laws (sweet!). In-laws also bought me a case of grease- Mystik JT-6 Multipurpose grease. My reading of the owner's manuals would...

Have a new BX 2230. Approximately 20 hours so far. Anyway, have had the FEl for the last 15 hours. today, for the first time it began to run rought. Thought there might be air in the lines so I jimmied the bucket up and down and tilted the bucket back and forth. Machine ran rough when lifting...

Put up Christmas lights this weekend. Roof was icy and it was **** cold, but how else is Mr. C going to find the house and get presents to my 2 and 4 year old? Anyway was using those worthless plastic gutter clips and eventually put up my front bucket as the box of clips kept sliding off the...

Based upon the knowledgeable advice of those on this board, I just ordered worklights for my new bx2230. Now, what are the benefits of a toothbar for the FEL? How difficult is it to install one? What can I expect to spend? Can it remove stumps? It will help with minor excavating, right? Just...

Been visiting the forum for awhile. Finally bit the bullet and bought a new kubota bx2230, 60"MMM, FEL, 60"rear blade, and rear bagger. Got a good deal and love the machine. My son (age 4) and I are willingly plowing our neighbor's drives- need to as we have a 10 month old Newfie who has a yard...
