    Easements

    Not really true. Recorded easements are listed as “exceptions to title” meaning that title insurance will not insure against them, but they do give you notice that they exist in your title insurance commitment. If the title insurance company fails to identify a recorded easement, you can file a...

    Now able to move tractor from backhoe position. Push Button, 3D Parts, Should have come from the factory this way.

    Really cool, but I also always have the brake on and bucket down. Don’t you just end up pulling/pushing yourself all over the place if you don’t have the brake on and bucket down?

    I suck: Mice!

    Cotton balls soaked in peppermint oil, then placed inside of a water bottle, stab the water bottle a few times with a knife. Then I hang the water bottles from various areas inside the engine compartment. Seems to work very well and lasts for a whole winter (I also use this method on my boat...

    water drill

    I’ve seen another method with steel pipe and a sledge hammer. That’s basically how the guy I hired did mine, except he had this cool hydraulic rig. Much less effort.

    Big Barn’s Retirement Farm Shop

    Awesome! I’ll definitely be trying my hand at restoring the next rusty tool I see at a garage sale. Amazing the transformation from just WD-40.

    Can you walk us through your process for restoring something like a vice? I’m always amazed at your ability to turn junk into beautiful, functional tools.

    Bx or B

    I was going to say that I’m at 6620’ and run in high all the time. Then I realize you are a couple hours north of me at 8,000’+. That’s definitely a big difference. Hope you’re ready for the snow. Looks like your area might get the worst of it. Good luck!

    Rear Remotes Installed on Kubota BX25D - Video

    Wow great job!! I was just checking in on Dragonegg’s project and you beat him to it! I just skimmed the video for now, but did you come up with a permanent mount or is it just sitting there for now? Will definitely be watching this video numerous times. I could add up the costs in the video...

    Well I didn’t have time to watch in detail, but looks like someone beat Dragoneggs to the punch! Rear Remotes Installed on Kubota BX25D - Video https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/index.php?threads/Rear-Remotes-Installed-on-Kubota-BX25D---Video.435313/

    BX25D rear remotes?

    Ditto!! Sometimes Mark just needs some pestering... errr, I mean, positive encouragement! Seriously though, fitrite should be paying you once you finally get this thing completed. I would have ordered the parts long ago, but Fitrite doesn’t sell “kits” and that’s a lot of money to spend to...

    DIY Tractor implement dolly heavy duty 2400lbs

    Man... 20 mins of watching you build a pallet with wheels. I have to agree that pictures would have been sufficient on this one. I personally would have built the base with double-stacked overlapping lumber—no idea what this method is called but it definitely creates a stronger foundation.

    Smart Shop tips!

    Hemmed and hawed over whether French cleats were worth it. Initially did a small 32” test section and decided to take the plunge. As I’m finishing out my shop on my own and I’m more of a quick starter than a planner, I really like the versatility of being able to get stuff off the floor right...

    Smart Shop tips!

    I came up with this yesterday. I seem to always be looking for a tape measure. Shop is still under construction so tools don’t have permanent homes yet. I put 5 of these picture frame hangers around my shop. Bent them out slightly and used longer nails than what came in the packaging. Now tape...

    RACKS FOR ATTACHMENTS

    I did. Works great. Mine is 3 levels, although I built the top shelf too high and I can’t drop implements on that shelf. Which is a bummer because I have 3 FEL implements (snow plow, grapple, bucket). I can’t find the YouTube video that inspired my design, but it’s basically the same. 2x4s...

    Compact Tractor with factory cab and backhoe

    I’ll give a recent backhoe experience: In the last several weeks, I recently dug a 210’ electrical trench to my new barn. All with the backhoe. Not the perfect tool for the job, but I didn’t have to worry about 40 mins of round trip commute to the rental places. Also, Home Depot is always out of...

    The joys of septic tanks

    At least in my neck of the woods, it’s very unusual not to have risers on your tank so that no digging is required. Like these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IEC9QU6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_jlhKCbJQJWZ2J Second, do you not have an external clean out port?? Looks like this in the picture. Usually on...

    BX1870 strange starting issue

    Check to make sure everything is in order on your throttle control cable (this picture is on the left side of engine bay if you are sitting on the seat). And take a video next time it happens to show your dealer. You are under warranty. Might as well take advantage of the warranty while you have it.

    I Ordered DeWalt Tools From China

    Flex volt is just a 6ah 20/60v battery. All the hand tools still use 20v. The larger battery powered tools like miter saws or leaf blowers run on 60v only. You get 6ah with a flex volt battery at 20v, but they are huge. Most of their hand tools still come with 2ah or 3ah 20v battery. I have one...

    Can anyone identify this animal?

    My co-worker caught this on their game camera this morning. Dog or wolf? The pointed ears, neck line, short legs and large body make me think it might be a wolf...? This photo was captured in a rural area of Douglas County, Colorado.

    Add a "wing plow"...need ideas

    Following... I’ve been looking for a similar solution but my problem is that I’m a annoyed by the amount of seepage out the sides of my 60” on my long, wide driveway. Maybe something like this Blizzard 216 - Kubota BX23 with Front Blade and Wing Plow - YouTube or in the image below would work...

    I'm not sure this is "wrong" but it makes me nervous just looking at it. I will point out the tow vehicle is NOT a duly.

    BX25D: What is this? And should I drill it or weld it?

    I'm following you. My pictures don't reveal a crucial point. See pictures of mount below. Might change your perspective. The chain saw holder has a "shelf" that the saw rests on and is on about the same plane as the mounting point. The shelf is only about 8" above the mounting point. I think...

    BX Auxiliary Chain Box mod!

    I copied. No doubt these large base click bond fasteners are sturdy. I went with a slightly larger box (I think). Got it at WalMart for $13. Thanks for the idea. I finally have a place to put my chains and strap.

    BX25D: What is this? And should I drill it or weld it?

    Hi Dragon- I tried the Click Bond adhesive first and then tried two-part JB Weld Kwik-Weld. I did use the pressure application fixture in two out of three attempts. The left stud popped off all three times when tightening the lock nuts. I might give it one more try with the last adhesive kit I...

    BX25D: What is this? And should I drill it or weld it?

    I'm trying to finish a chainsaw mount. I tried to use click bond fasteners to avoid welding/drilling, but can't get the epoxy to hold on one of them so I'm moving on. So can anyone identify this? It appears to just be a support for the plastic "floorboard." But I'm not 100% sure. Should I drill...

    Grappling fun - A Picture Thread....

    Wasn't the smoothest installation.... had to grind down some welds that were interfering with my quick hitch and the hydraulic fittings were loose and dumped almost my entire tank of fluid, but great once I got it installed... first job with my EA BX grapple.

    Anyone installed WR Long 3rd Function on BX25D-1?

    Pictures of my valve. Also showing odd gap between backplate and suggested mounting point (left support of FEL). Not sure what's going on here. Might end up welding additional piece of steel to backplate to close the gap. Anyone else have this gap? The supplied bolts seem to be long enough, but...

    Anyone installed WR Long 3rd Function on BX25D-1?

    Who has done it? I would appreciate pictures showing the valve location, hose routing and connections. I thought I had decent routing, then realized my connections are short.... (the P and T connections on the valve for the PB are set up north/south, with hoses entering from the North--which is...
