    Learning how to drive with a trailer..

    I feel your pain. I’ve been pulling trailers of all sizes for the better part of 35 years, and if I think about it while I’m doing it, I mess it up. Backing up a trailer while looking at a reverse image in the mirror can be bizarre. It’s a very seat-of-the-pants thing. Long trailers are easier...

    Floating top link on a box blade?

    Yeah, as I'm thinking about the geometry more, I can understand that happening. Thanks for this.

    Floating top link on a box blade?

    Hmmn. That might be a better idea. And as npalen states, the connected toplink prevents the implement from tripping over itself.

    Floating top link on a box blade?

    I have a box blade for driveway maintenance, but I've gotten mixed results, mainly due to how the blade pitches down as the tractor pitches up when driving over bumps and piles of stone. I've been contemplating buying a tow-behind box blade instead... After using my brush hog the other day and...

    Redland Hill sliding boom pole, anyone?

    Years ago, I bought a 3pt hitch bar and short boom lift for my BX23. Never got around to getting the telescoping boom pole for it, and Redland Hill is no more. Anybody own one that would take some pictures and measurements for me? Or, if you don't use it, and would be interested in selling...

    Kubota weight box cover?

    Hey all, I have the Kubota B8160 weight box, and was seeming to think that there was an elastic fitted cover that was available as an option, but I can't seem to turn anything up... I leave mine outside, filled with 300 lbs of belgium blocks, but after emptying it to clear rotted leaves and...

    Mowing  Praise for Larry at Mower Axles!

    Just wanted to publicly thank Larry at Mower Axles here on TBN. A few months ago, I ordered a set of anti-scalp wheels, and a set of mower deck storage axles from him. As I'm apt to do, I put the box on the workbench, and there it sat, until the other day, when I needed the storage axles. As...

    Oil & Fuel  BX23 fuel system issues

    Was doing my 200 hour service today, and changed the fuel filter under the hood. Reassembled everything, and commenced the fuel bleed procedure as outlined in the owner's manual. A few coughs, but no starting. Bummer. Now I have to remove the grill guard and cowling again... So I look at the...

    My Cyclone rake substitute

    My yard has too many obstacles to really justify investing in a belly mower. I mainly got my BX for a planned lawn rehab. Anyway, I've been musing over not having a MMM, which rules out a Cyclone rake. And man, do I dread the fall season... Anyway, in a fit of desperation, I slapped my...

    Pat's Easy Change and toplink

    Just got my Pat's Easy Change system today, and immediately installed it on the BX23. Went on pretty well; got it trued up fairly straight... Then I went to hook up to the box blade... and found out that the factory toplink is too short to connect now, since the EZ Change system extends your...

    How much is this Gravely package worth?

    Hi all, I normally hang in the Kubota section, as I bought a BX23 last year, which is driving me to sell my Gravely stuff... I have: * A Gravely Pro 10, with about 460 hours on the meter (although subtract a week's worth of hours, 'cuz I left the key on until I used it a week later). Kohler...

    BX24 wheels on BX23?

    Was considering a second set of wheels and tires for future projects, and was wondering about puttin' a set of BX24 rims and tires on my BX23. Apparently they fit, as I saw a picture somewhere here where someone did it... My question is, with regards to maintaining proper "lead" between the...
