Well, I've entered one of the 5th realms of repair rules - if you fart around with it enough the issue will go away. I can get the rear to spin without the MMM engaging. If I move the shift handle just a tad it will make the grind sound but no bad sounds while engaged so probably a linkage...

The PTO shift arm parts diagram doesn't help much..

So I played with it this morning and it certainly moves freely. The image below is the operative connector on the transmission that moves with the PTO choice lever between MMM, both or rear PTO. The image shown is MMM. I do not see any missing rods for the stub shown with an open pin open.

Obviously not a common condition....story of my life. I'll just use the belly mower until I figure this one out to stop spinning both under and rear blades.

I purchased a Dirty Hand Tools PHD a few years ago for my BX25 and it works great with my LX2610 as well. Its been several years but $449 delivered to my home via Amazon was probably the best implement I've ever purchased. New Post Hole Digger

My BX25 used to overheat regularly in the early fall when all the dry grass would clog just 20% of the screen filter which was enough to impede the flow of air to flip the temp light. Keeping the screen clean and a low pressure power washer on the radiator seem to keep mine in check. The...

I have 2023 LX2610HSD with mid mower mount w/RCK60-30BB that I used bi-weekly to mow trails. Every couple of months I'll mow my pasture and hook up my bush hog. Yesterday, when I attempted to use the bush hog I could not get the MMM to stop engaging so it was running both. It has never done...

I hear ya'll on the valve issues. I've built some jewels over the years. My pounder nor the pressure gauge is working even when the valve is not part of the equation. I hear you on the BH77 test...I think I know the outcome already.

Correct on BH question, supply line in and return to tractor.

I did not put the BH on as I had some mowing duties today. That is one item that was handy on the BX as you could mow with the BH on. I used it a few weeks ago without any issues which makes the zero test gauge and pounder even more perplexing. I do want to try the return line from the BH...

Absolutely no difference with switch on or off. Odd one. Really appreciate the help trobleshooting!

You bring up a great point...where does the supply line originate and terminate. Tracing the rear male supply line goes to the bottom right junction in the photo below. This junction also controls my 3rd function and FEL ops. The return female routes into the top of the tranny via stainless...

It only has 20 hrs on it and runs great now and before just when I go to setup the pounder is where the problem comes into play. The valve setup is only used for the pounder.

When the supply line is hooked directly back into tractor all systems work great (FEL, HST, grapple, etc.) and my BH works fine when its connected. Later today I'll hook up the BH and place the tester on the return side of it to see what the tester reads.

My thoughts exactly. I thought I had an issue with my valve buildout until I bypassed it and the issue remained. The tester was suppose to show me the problem was in the Kencove valve but when the tester showed a zero I went to the forum as I'm clueless. I still believe its an issue with these...

I'm going old school today as I have the auger hooked up. I haven't used this tool for many years as the pounder was so much easier....

Yes, the kencove is open center. I bought the tester meter to try to avoid the fluid shoot out method but am still perplexed on why its showing zero.

I see your question as when you use the pounder directly hooked up to the supply hose you lose all your other tractor functions - motion, FEL, etc.. I built the valve setup below to resolve this issue. On my BX it was a 1/4 setup, on my LX a 3/8. It allows me to plug back into the tractor...

On a pounder the return is a massive flow of fluid coming from the downward action and as such has to go straight to the reservoir. Pounder on BX

You are correct on the hose flows and also correct in it doesn't add up with the BH working. So if my tester shows zero and no flow to the pounder the only common thread is the Summit 7J417-66320 Female Hydraulic Quick Coupler, 3/8” NPT. Is this the proper connector for my rear?? My forward...

I've had my LX2610 for a couple months now and WOW it is so much more tractor than my BX in almost every-way. I should have made this change years ago. I have several implements and all are better with the LX except my Kencove PD80 post pounder. The rear BX hookup was all I needed to start...

I acquired a new LX2610HSD w/BH and other implements back in March used USAA for insurance instead of KTAC. When I called the USAA farm/tractor number they told me the policy was underwritten by Travelers. The LX policy for @$42k was $525 annually and covered inland marine (transport) and...

Wicked...that indeed is some tall grass. Corrected and humble in Alabama.

I was in similar situation, sold the Husq as it needed too much attention before every mow and went with Kubota Z251. Game changer. Can't keep the wife off this thing. I have a MMM on my LX but the wife normally knocks it down before I think it needs a trim. The 25HP Kohler provides plenty...

I'm not sure a mower solution exists if the grass is high. I do have a $266 solution that works really well for me. One pass along line makes quick work of the excess.

To me it drills down to low hanging trees and bushes. If you have alot of them in the yard the 3pt can be a huge asset to get under them without getting ripped of the tractor. If not, the belly is way easier and generally more adjustable. I use my belly 90% of the time. I do not notice any...

Bigger is not always better..by 1inch this one fits in my garage and does everything I need. Very pleased with the LX2610. Only downside is MMM can’t operate while BH is onboard but i’ll get used to that limitation. Big upgrade from my BX25.

My dealer delivered my KX2610 today. Very pleased with setup but learned something I didn't know until today. You cannot use the MMM with the BH on as you can't lower the deck. Coming from a BX where I rarely removed the BH that's a change that will take some time. The MMM is probably 5 or 6...

I bought a BH77 last week for my LX2610 and the subframe is a unicorn currently. The L2501 subframes are not compatible with the LX. I am on backorder for a few months waiting on subframe. I looked at ten quotes or so before I purchased. The BH77 alone had a range from $9,990 to $13,500...

Excellent..Thank you! OEM 3/8 is certainly what I needed. I like the 1/2 idea but not sure what the BH77 has on it as that will be used way more than my pounder.

That is indeed a very helpful chart that I have saved for future reference. Any ideas on rear connectors on LX2610?

My tractor has not been delivered yet but I'm attempting to resolve some open issue. I need some assistance on setting up my LX2610 with my Kencove pounder. On my BX the pounder worked great for driving 6-8” poles. I rigged up a valve with the BX quick connects that I want to replicate with my...

I acquired a new LX2610HSD today and used USAA for insurance instead of KTAC. When I called the USAA farm/tractor number they told me the policy was underwritten by Travelers. The LX with BH,grapple,mmm and other implements was $42k; the policy was $525 annually and covered inland marine...

Found one on the lot at another local dealer that went 8% off MSRP! No shipping needed...

My local dealer doesn't have an LX on the lot but stated he could get one and handed me a quote that was exactly 2% off the web online MSRP. When I mentioned 6-10% seemed like a more competitive stance he told me to go buy a cheaper tractor...they sell relationships. I probably shouldn't have...

I sold my 2015 BX25 with under 300 hrs last week for $500 less than I paid for it in 2015. I sold it on the same day I posted it on CL. I had 10 or so immediate offers in $12-16k range. Market is very good for this model. This was a great tractor I just needed more clearance for some new...

I just watched the swift-tach video below for an LX2610. I have zero plans to remove the loader ever so I'll forgo this $1k if I can. I'm not a fan of the hose setup on the kit, afraid I'll hoop it on some vines in some thick stuff. Prefer them to be inside/alongside the forks if possible. I...

@beckmurph I see you opted for the 16" BH bucket....any regrets? I've got a 12" on my BX and sometimes enjoy the small footprint on a smaller project. Also have some hard clay in the area and thought the 12 might give me a little more power than the 16. ??

That is a GREAT tip on the seat! I assumed the suspension was the same. I have napped on my BX in a full recline. I hope I can get them to put the cab suspension setup with the open cockpit.

The LX does indeed have the quick release feature on the bucket/pallet swap which was a big advantage point and I dont think the swift tach is a benefit unless it adds some element to the grapple which I plan to acquire as well. The first year I had my BX I did about 50 posts augered and went...

One of my favorite BX projects..we did about 165 posts... BX Pounder

The HP is only about 3.5 HP gain but I need clearance as my new property has limestone popups that created many issues with my low BX. I also need some more hydro power. The BX loader capacity is @700lbs the LX is @1100. Hydraulic flow on bx is 6.2 LX is 8.7. I have a post pounder that...

The website has it @37k so 10% off is @33k which is exactly the medium. I never took my BX loader off so is the SWIFT TACH KIT at almost1K worth it? I do plan to get the pallet forks as my BX bucket had a smile from my slide ons over the years. Will the swift tach help with that swap out?

Acquired a larger pasture to mow and sold my 2015 BX25 same day I listed it on FB. I think I'm headed to an LX but am getting a wide variety of price quotes from dealers in the area (AL) and beyond. The LX2610HSD with loader & BH77 ranges from 29k to 38k. Wasn't expecting that range..realize...

I stopped by this morning to take a look at an LX2610 to upgrade from my BX25. They probably had a hundred Kubota's on the lot but zero LX's and when I mentioned a Bh77 they made it sound like 2024. And the quote was north of $40k. Think I'll putt around on my BX for a tad longer.

I did see one mounted on a BX FEL using the hydro up front but I wanted my FEL to carry my poles so I used the 3pt. The yellow stand on the pounder into the ground takes the punishment.

Yes, my BX backhoe has several quick disconnects and I'm pounding in a few mins. The return goes straight into the hydro fill hole as its a massive rush of fluid that needs a home quickly. Its a 1/2 inch return and I rigged it up with a tight fit using an extra dip stick that got to meet my...

No C clip but wedged perfectly between these two brackets so if you bend one like I did the steering cylinder gets wonky. Now the post pounding is another issue. All the heavy work is done by several large springs not the hydro, it only raised the hammer to pound. I've done a few hundred 6"...

Thank you in the info gentlemen. It seems the bracket was just bent outward 1/4 or so and the cylinder shaft was just sitting outside it. So I removed the tie rod and the bracket and used a BFH to get it straight again and bolted it back on and it fit like a glove. It seemed too easy and...

Today I decided to do some basic maintenance on my BX25DLB and as I was draining the engine oil I see this sight and said to myself, that doesn't look right. My first thought was jack it up and use a BFH but then I decided to go drink a beer and watch football. Its halftime so I'm posting...

What is the difference between a selector valve and a diverter? I do see I can get a diverter in 1/4 which matches by quick connectors. I am tired of plugging in the pounder and 3 pt every 10 mins! Parker BV3D04N1SS1N Manual 3-Way Diverter Valve 1/4 NPT "L" Port Steel

Roger...something like this guy?

Anyone know if this type value would allow me to run 3pt and pounder? I'm running pounder at very low RPM as it only raised the slammer. I haven't seen one in a 1/4 size but plenty 1/2 or 3/4 to step down.

Finally got some time to try a new BX25 toy yesterday. WOW. I'll never use my auger again! I slammed about 25 6" posts in a few a few hours but still have a few hundred to pound. It took between 15-20 slams to put the 8 footer at shoulder height. I do need to find a 1/4 spliter so I don't...

This worked out way better than I anticipated. Slammed about 25 6" posts in a few a few hours. Still have a few hundred left... Took between 15-20 slams to put the 8 footer at shoulder height. Now I just need to find a 1/4 spliter so I don't have to keep plugging the supply line to the...

Roger...steel it is. Thanks folks. I'll update with some photos when I pound a few 6 inchers into the ground.

I did find this on Amazon...we shall see.

Great links...thank you. However, I have yet to find a 1/2 female to 1/4 male so I can place my Kubota 1/4 quick connect on it. On the weight question, it carried it much better than my heavy heavy bush hog. If I can solve the step down issue I'm ready to pound some posts.

If I get 10 feet out of anything from china freight I'm excited. Its really a lease program with the landfill being the final destination. I agree with TractorGuy sending it back if thats an option will save you time. If not I would drain it and search for a clog. Most of their stuff just...

I put a Kencove PD80 on my Kubota BX25 today and all was well until I went to plug in the hydro. The driver controller has two 1/2 npt lines and a 3/4 npt return line. I made a custom adapter in the hydro res for the 3/4 npt that fits snug but I can’t find any 1/2 thread with 1/4 connectors for...

roger that. Post driver is an attachment so I figured I had a 50-50.

I am looking to acquire a Kencove PD80 or similar post driver for my BX25D. Seeking advice on how to connect the fluid return to the reservoir as I understand the quick connects will not plug-n-play as designed. Looking forward to the feedback.

Been using my PHD for several weeks and went back to install the BH and after hooking up the 3 lines I can't get the stabliziers or bucket arm to raise. Unplugged the 3 lines 3-4 times to no avail. Any other settings I need to turn off to get the BH controls to work?

Ran across a great deal on a PHD the other day and thought I would share. I have been looking for a few weeks for a used PHD for my Kubota BX25D. After learning $800-$1800 was the current range I thought the hand digger might be my friend for a few more years. Then I thought I would drop the...

Great advice Varmint & others.. I just wasn't certain if I was missing something. I spent 20mins grinding and boom she now fits! Its a solid PHD and the Amazon $440 included shipping to my house so I should have anticipated a few issues. Pic's of finished product below...and a hundred or so...

Is it possible to acquire an implement that doesn't fit my BX25D top hitch mount? I acquired an auger off Amazon and it shows up next day in a casket. I crack it open and its study and appears like a great deal at $440,,,then the doofus phase sets in when it won't fit into my top hitch mount...

Tractor supply had some smaller ammo boxes for $9.00 that lined up perfectly with an existing carriage bolt on the frame in front of the brake.

Located some great grab hooks for my BX last weekend that had hook/clevis mount. Ken at boltonhooks literally hooked me up.

Gone through enough lawn tractors and zero turns to finally come to the conclusion...I need a tractor. Probably didn't hurt teens left for college last year and the sq hay bales, post hole digger duties and 4 foot grass/privet is aging me. Initially looked at Yanmar rebuilds as I live in Al...
