I bought an L3560 HSTC (Cab) in August 2019. I am pretty happy with the tractor. I did not get the hoe but I did get the 4/1 bucket for the LA805 loader with the Kubota third function kit. I also did not think it was wise to get the smaller loader. I have not needed to take it back to the...

This is a nice photo by one of the members that is quite helpful. However, if someone could indicate the type of connectors and size/thread, especially the T-Connector, and the connector with a slight angle to it, I would be extremely grateful.

Got all of them out this weekend to do work. Had to mow with the BX 1850, do maintenance (change oil and filters) on the L-3700 SU and fix a leaking underground water line with the BX 24 TLB.

Decided to go ahead and replace my BX 1850 with a mid mount mower with a B 2130 with a mid mount mower and a hydraulic lift sickle bar on the 3 point. Got a price from my local dealer and Messick's and I am waiting for a quote from a dealer about 3 hours away in Virginia who includes a trailer...

Locally, I have found a nice running New Holland/Ford 250C with two 72" flail mowers (one rear and one side that lifts 90%). I have offered 2.5K for it. If he accepts or maybe I'll bump it to 3K then it is a much cheaper option.

I would like to cut under fences and hard to reach places, knock down some encroaching brush (by lifting the mower to 12 o'clock, for example). I have a BX-1850 that I use for mowing the lawns with a belly mower that has unused loader hydraulics . I have a BX-24 TLB which would handle some of...

I own a BX1850 with a belly mower 54 inch. BX 24 TLB L-3700SU with a LA 463 loader and 60 inch brush hog. I need a brush hog for cutting about 4 acres of fields. I need a mower for the lawns. I use the backhoe for various jobs, including removing stumps. The BX24 backhoe is very weak for...

If you start hearing rattling from your MMM, remove the blade pulley covers. The 4 bolts that hold the pulley together come loose, perhaps they did not torque them down correctly at the factory. I heard the rattling and smelled burnt rubber . Stopped the mower and removed the pulley cover on...

I purchased a Ballistic Performance 8 cell Lithium Ferrous (LFr) battery for my 1975 Norton 850 Commando. The battery is about a quarter of the size and about 20% of the weight of the standard battery for the bike. The standard battery, even the "maintenance free" gel cells will never last...

Guess I will have some fun tomorrow. Only 5 inches or so, but it will be the first time with the big Kubota L. The little BX24 had a heck of a time last year with the 18 inches or so. The L should really have an easy time with the 5 inches.

Dealer returned my BX 1850 and my BX 24 with the extended warranty replacement of the cracked floor on my BX-1850 and reinforcement on the BX24 which had an undamaged floor. Great service. Anyone with any of this era tractors should take advantage of the extended warranty even if your floor...

My local dealer (my salesman) came by today and picked up my two BXs (while I was at work) to take them back to the dealership to perform the floorboard upgrade on the BX24 and replacement (for the BX1850 which has a floorboard crack). And, I didn't buy the BX 1850 from him!!! I did buy an L...

I heard my left floor board crack on my BX-1850 while getting on the tractor this summer. I knew what the problem was and sent an email to Kubota just 2 days ago asking what my options were since both my BX1850 and BX24 are out of warranty. This was their response: "Alfred, thank you for...

I have a BX24 and an L3700 and would like to fit a grapple on one of them. I am thinking that a quick connect grapple for the L3700 might be the most practical route, rather than an attachment for the bucket on either tractor. What needs to be done hydraulic wise to get the grapple function to...

Does Kubota cover the known floor cracking on the older BXs after the warranty is up? Just cracked the floor on a pre-mod BX1850, out of warranty. Anyone have experience with this?

Does everyone know that the number after the LA is the approximate loader capacity in kgs.

I bought a set of pretty heavy duty pallet forks for 120 bucks on Ebay. Hey the skid steer type start at $495, what a deal, right! Wrong. When you start picking things up they don't stay straight even tightened done with a long bar for leverage. But, they will be great to get the skid...

Any good and do they make them to fit a loader with tooth bar, without removing tooth bar?

Is this an outrageously low price (it includes shipping) for a 6 inch PTO chipper?

The BX24's backhoe is a nice tool, however, in many situations the light weight of the tractor limits its effectiveness. The back end lifts up when doing heavy lifting. Would holding down the BX24's FEL when doing BH work with a bigger tractor's FEL be dangerous or damaging? I suspect that...

I need to bury a bunch of material I have cleared. Burning is not an option where I live, particularly the 30x10 foot pile I have collected. The hole would have to be about the size of the pile. I can use the L3700SUs FEL which they say can dig to about 4 feet, which would be fine or I can use...

Broke a shear bolt on my 60 inch Woods Bush Bull. Found a grade 2 bolt of the appropriate size at Home Depot and thought that it would be a matter of knocking out what's left of the old bolt and put in the new bolt. It was hot. Take of the shield on the gear box end. There is then a shield...

I took the 2 day old L3700SU out of the barn to mow a neglected field. Get to the field and notice the tractor is cockeyed. Front left tire is coming off the rim. Nurse the tractor near the garage and compressor. I use the loader to lift the front end and decide to take the wheel off. I am...

For Kubota, this is probably the most tractor for the money. I suspect they brought this model out to compete against the new guys on the block like Kioti, who are making quality tractors that are quite inexpensive relative to their size, performance and features. Before this model became...

It does have a quick disconnect loader bucket as well as the quick disconnect loader. Here are some pics.

Well, I decided to buy the new "price point" tractor from Kubota rather than go with a more luxurious Kioti or TYM etc. Essentially, I paid list price per the Kubota configuration for the tractor and loader and got a 60 inch Woods brush hog, a tooth bar, loaded rear tires, the Kubota...

Wrong forum oops

Bought this grill guard for BXs from Fabworks O.E.M. Fab Works OEM Clever idea adds a trailer hitch and a hook which should make it quite useful if you need to move a trailer or pull something with the hook, albeit pulling in reverse.

New Kioti DK40SE 40HP Hydro 4WD Tractor with Loader - eBay (item 140384895607 end time Feb-24-10 12:40:46 PST)

Can anyone advise me if this is a good price from my local dealer. Note: I have PMed Wallace to give him an opportunity. DK50 HST with Deluxe Cab FEL Filled Rear Tires Rhino 172 Rotary Cutter (6') $33,500 with the 0% APR for 72 months w/ $1,750 Down Payment

I never thought about an air conditioned and heated cab before, but in looking at some larger tractor options I have been considering one at the expense of a backhoe (which is a more expensive option than a cab in most cases). I have a small backhoe already on the BX and it is capable enough...

As I stated in many posts, my Ariens snow blower used very little in 4 years of ownership was useless in these mid atlantic storms. I'd push it and only a dribble of snow would be ejected. I was pushing it to the point of a hernia and gave up twice and used my BX24 loader to move the snow...

Ok, after getting some pricing on bigger Kubotas (40-50 HP), and facing sticker shock, I have been taking a look at Kioti tractors. Being orange, I figure the wife won't notice and will think it is one of the Kubotas. I would sure like the L45, but after some consideration it is really...

I ordered chains for the rear wheels of my BX24. I probably should have asked the question here first, because the inner part of the front of the rear fender does not have sufficient clearance for normal chains, with just a little twisting the chains would tear up the plastic. There were...

Outside of the US, Kubota is pronounced "Koobawtah" in the US it is pronounced "Koobohtah". How do you pronounce it?

Or the mid L-Grand Series with FEL and BH.

Went to my local Kubota dealer today after clearing a bunch of snow. Told him (I've bought 2 tractors from the same salesman) that I was thinking that since I have a BX1850 for mowing, I was thinking of upgrading the BX24 to something bigger. He showed me a few tractors and was recommending...

I have a Kubota BX24 (and a BX 1850 for mowing). The BX24 backhoe and FEL are fine for general light maintenance landscaping but clearing heavy brush and saplings or removing stumps takes a long time. I am planning to clear up some overgrown fence lines and an overgrown riding ring and I think...

With the help of my brother-in-law, I installed a steel driveway gate and will install the opener tomorrow as all the civil work is complete. Of the two tractors, the BX-1850 did most of the work using the 3 pt. The BX24 did support work. BX-1850 1. Power cable run to gate from house to gate...

Or, another use for a BX FEL.

Putting the MMM in "Top" blocks it from lowering and raising and a 3 pt implement can be used without the MMM raising and lowering. Is there any way to block the 3 pt. from lowering so that a small ground engaging implement can remain on the tractor while mowing?

I mowed a field today and it got up to the 80s here in Maryland. In tall grass, with the 54 inch MMM, the gauge was running close (1/4") from the red on the 1850 (running at 2,600 RPM during break-in). With the BX24, it never got closer than 1/2 inch from the red in the hottest days of summer...

I am installing a gate opener and I have to dig a trench to bury power cable. Using the backhoe bucket seems an overkill and will ruin my lawn.

I took a pic of it with my cellphone and if I can figure out how to post it I will later. I tried to remove it in the fall after I cut the tree down. The tree was only about 18 inches across but it really was wide at the ground level. I worked on it in the fall and there was absolutley no...

Ok, I have a BX24 TLB with a 60 inch MMM and used it to mow about 1 acre of lawn and 4 acres of field last year. Took the mower off in the fall and found the BX24 so much better at getting around and doing FEL and B/H work. And, taking the mower off is not easy and putting it back on is...

This is for Kubota experts as there are a lot of maybe obscure models. I have a BX24 TLB with a 60" mower. I used it last season to mow lawns and fields (about 1.5 acre lawn 4+ acre fields). It worked fine on the fields and on the lawns I used a Honda push mower to do the parts that the...

Ok, as promised. The thumb arrived in box full of shredded paper see pix. I saw that a nut was missing on one of the bolts (the unit comes assembled with the bolts and nuts loosely screwed together) and thought "oh no". Threw the box away in the trash and was going to the hardware store to...

Could it maybe bulldoze large wild rose and other fence line varmits better and faster than backhoeing them and then using the loader? The mini dozers are quite a bit heavier than a BX24.

I have had it a week and I removed a 42 inch stump. This stump was all that remained after a tree fell and the tree company wanted $1,500 to remove it all. It was about 3 foot tall. (Tree fell in a storm and I was able to handle the tree with my Stihl chainsaw but the stump was another...

Paid $4,900 for a new B5200 together with 42" brush hog in 1986. Bought a BX24TLB and put the B5200 on Ebay. It was sold this evening for $3,651.99! Well, I guess a dollar is worth quite a bit less today than in 1986 though.

Well, here is a shot of the new BX24 after its first bit of work.

Can anyone explain the disdavantages of buying a "thumb" for the BX24 backhoe? They are selling for about 300+ bucks on Ebay with shipping. Is it a useful tool or does it get in the way of normal backhoe digging?

I never got a belly mower for my B5200 because I felt it would hamper access to certain parts of my property. I used my brand new BX24 for the first time today for some dirt movementm stump removal and some field mowing. I have to say, that all the way up it did not cause vertical clearance...

$15,900 and $1,600 for a 60 inch belly mower (Kubota). 36 month zero interest. Fair deal for me. And the dealer is about 6 miles away. Bought my first tractor (a B-5200) from this dealer 22 years ago. This was in Maryland.

Hi, I just bought a BX24 TLB with belly mower. I have owned a B5200 for 22 years and obviously it feels different! There is a hydraulic flow adjustment between one's legs (no pun intended). I noticed that the hydraulics (mower lift for example) would not lift the mower at idle and I had to...
