I saw this add , link they added wheels to the bottom of the MMM, but I do not want to spend $90. I figured that someone has come up with a cheaper solution to this problem??? If so, lets hear it. Thanks

We are taking the kids, 12 & 16 to Disney World over the Christmas holidays. Has anyone been to Disney during this time of year? How were the crowds, lines, etc? Any suggestions for good places for dinner? We are planning on spending Christmas eve at Emerit’s. Thanks

I have 150 hours on the BX and have changed the oil and filter after every 50 hours of service. After going through last winter and some hard starts at 0 F, I am thinking of switching to synthetic oil. Based on what I have read here I see the advantages of having the synthetic oil. My question...

I was cleaning the seeder today and noticed the guard protecting the gears held water. So I took it off and drilled two holes so the water would drain from the guard. Poor design I thought.

Any idea what this white wire with the connector does? Do you have one too? Did mine disconnect from somewhere? Any ideas?? Thanks

Does anyone have a source for a top link for a BX2200? It should be about 13 inches when closed. Kubota dealer wants $100 for a new one. I bent one side when it hit the wood deck backing into the shed. I did not notice it was down and fully extended. Anyone have a source for just for the rod and...

I just got my 48 inch Kioti aerator and have a few questions. How much weight did you add to the top, how many blocks did you add? I have a BX2200. Do you clean the spoons after each use, if so, what do you use to clean the spoon, a screwdriver, or did you find something better? Thanks

What procedure did you use to get your 60 inch MMM on your BX2200 to match the set up in the manual? I am not sure what to measure first and what to move so I do not move one setting and throw another out of whack. It looks like the left front is lower then the rest of the deck, causing a scalp...

In another post I had a problem with the deck on my BX 2200 60 MMM streaking. I found the problem to be the wrong size blades. The dealer sent me the correct blades and they do not want the 54 inch blades back. I ran them for about 5 mins. So if you have a 54 inch MMM deck and you are interested...

I replaced the blades with new ones on my deck, now I have streaking between the 3 blades. What do you think it is?? If the blades are not in the same pattern when they turn will this do it? If so, what is the best way to get them to alien as in the manual? Loosen the bolt and move and then...

Last fall I took the tension spring off the 60 inch MMM on the BX2200 as per the manual. I can not get it back on. What did you do to get it back on, did you use a tool? or whatever to get it back into place. HELP!!!

I was wondering what people use for weed control on your lawn. Do you use a weed and feed type granular fertilizer, or liquid spay weed killer? Looking at Northern Tool, they have a 26 gallon spray pull type unit with a 108 inch boom for $345. I just purchased a Herd Seeder M96 spreader and some...

Another spring project..... I have a 6 foot by 8 foot greenhouse I need to construct a base for. I have dug down 1 foot and plan to fill with small stone mixed with fines and compacted. I will use 6 by 6 railroad ties as the base secured in the ground by ¾ inch rebar, about 3 feet long, 2 on...

I want to add a canopy/roof, about 7 feet wide by 12 feet long to my shed, which is about 12 feet wide by 24 feet long, to store stuff out of the weather. The shed sits on about a foot of gravel that was mixed with fines and is compacted. The floor is six pressure treated 4 by 4 with ¾ plywood...

Anyone know the model/part number and MSRP for a 48 inch Kioti aerator? I know Midwest is mfg them for Kioti. Thanks

Someone on another thread was asking for a list of BX attachments that do Not fit on a BX. I thought we should put together a list of attachments we know fit on the Kubota BX2200. Here is what I know works, anyone care to add to the list? 48 inch First Choice Tiller 54 inch Pronovost Puma...

I do not know if anyone is interested, but here is a large lawn and tractor auction set for Saturday, April 5th @ 9 am. Last year's auction had over 1500 items and 1300+ registered bidders. I have not gone to it, but I hear it is a good one for the area. web page

A co-worker has a Kubota 5450; does anyone have a picture of the tractor? He was telling me about it and said it is 5-7 years old, and is big, he said he can pull logs like 2 feet across with no problem. I looked on the Kubota Web site and I did not see anything. I did a search on TBN and came...

We are thinking of painting our 2.5 car garage floor after 16 years of dust and looking at plain concrete. We have the normal oil stains, etc for a garage of this age and usage. What is the best way to prepare the surface, and paint? Oil vs. latex vs. epoxy, etc. Any good web sites for info on...

I am serious thinking of changing from Dish Network to Direct TV since Dish will not have the NY Yankees for another season, and they have no idea when if ever they will have the Yankees. I am 90% sure I will make the change. The cost for two units for both TVs with one able to record 35 hours...

How many 500 Watt lights can I put on a 15 amp circuit? Thanks

What is the beast way to see if the differential lock works? I press on it and I do not hear, feel or see any difference. I think I read a while back where someone had a problem with it. During the last snow I had to put into 4 wd to get out of a snow pile, the lock did not do anything. Both...

Can someone take a picture of your block heater on your engine and post it? I want to add the heater and I am not sure where it goes. For $30 I figure it is cheap insurance for a long lasting engine. The BX really was hard to start when it was 0-5F this year, not to mention the wear on the...

Other then the Herd Seeder Model M96 which several folks have suggested (the best price I have found is not very good, list at $410.00 with tax $434.00). What other spreader do you use on your Kubota BX2200? My concern is because of the low ground clearance any old spreader will not work. I...

I have a BX 2200 and would like to buy the equipment required for fertilizing and weed control. I pay a landscaper $1400 a season to do my 2 acres. I figured I can buy the equipment for about the cost of one season and do it myself, not to mention more seat time . I was thinking of a 3-point...

I have not seen anyone talking about the 2300 here on TBN even in the Massey Section! Are they selling any units? I thought with the competition of the BX and the JD 2210 we would see it mention a lot more. What do you think?

Has anyone tested their well water using a company advertising on the Internet? If so, who did you use and would you recommend using them again?, a web site of the company would be helpful. I have done a search and have come up with several all charging from a lot, to a little, but which one did...

We are interested in getting a freezer and have been reviewing what is available and it comes down to a chest or upright type. The chest type is manual defrost only while the upright you have a choice of either manual or frost free. I understand both have advantages and disadvantages i.e. the...

It is 6F, snow on the ground, BUT its time to think of spring projects. With this cold and the hard starting on the Kubota, I will install a block heater before next winter. One problem, no electric in the barn! So here are my questions for those master electricians in TBN. I am planing on...

Does anyone know if the Kubota assembly plant in Gainesville, GA has tours for the general public of the plant? I visited the GM plant for Corvettes in Bowling Green, KY last year was interesting seeing how they build my dream car. Going to GA on vacation this year , thought I would stop in to...

I installed a golf cart cover on my BX 2200 yesterday, this is the finished product, rear view. Total cost $125.00. Not tested yet, waiting for snow, but I think it will keep the snow off me.

I have a 3 pt, 54 inch Puma snowblower, reading the manual it says to lubricate the chain every 8 hours. I sprayed on white litho grease on the chain. Just wondering if this is the best product or is good old 10-40W just as good? What product should I use?? Thanks Tom

I have purchased a golf cart cab from Northern Tool for $100, It is vinyl and met to fit over a golf cart. It has two zipper doors and a zipper in the rear. It is 60" long by 43" wide and hangs down 58". I want to put it on a Kubota BX2200 to keep the snow off me when using the 3pt...

Both the snow blower and MMM call for W90 API GL5 gear oil. The only thing I can find is 80W-90 API GL5 Gear Oil. Can I use this stuff, guys at the auto store say it is the same stuff, what do you think?? Sorry if this is a dumb question. Thanks in advance. Tom

OK caught the blue light special at K-Mart for windshield washer fluid and will fill the tires this weekend. Since I have never done this before, I need a little help. I got the adapter to connect the tire to the garden hose. I have to add 8-10 gallons per tire. Should I by a pump for my drill...

How many gallons of windshield washer fluid did your rear tires on your BX 2200 take? I have decided to fill the rears with the WS, need to know how many gallons to buy. I figured I would not dilute it, but put it straight into the tire. Thanks Tom

BX 2200 60\" MMM Adjustment My deck will not lock in the Top position after getting it back from the dealer to "fix" the adjustment knob. To make a long story short, I need to know what is the distance on the left and right side of the mover deck for the lift link. If you look on page 11 of the...

BX 2200 & Puma 54\" Snow Blower Picked up a new 3 pt snow blower for the BX 2200 in May. Well it is about time to start thinking about putting it on. Any one have a Pronovost Puma 54 on their BX2200? If so, how long is the PTO shaft? I need to cut mind and I figure I would ask if anyone has...

I was at church today and the pastor wants to build a walking path from a new office/residence building to the church, about 500-600 feet, including crossing a creek. I have a Kubota BX2200 with a FEL and 4’ tiller, also will have a tooth bar soon. I know this is a small tractor, but I think it...

Looking for a 48" tooth bar for my Kubota BX2200, I have two prices, the FFC is $230 the WR Long is $259, shipping is about the same, both have replaceable teeth. Any difference between the two? what do you have? WR Long does not have a web site, but Carver has info on his site...

Our asphalt driveway about 3-4 years old needs to be sealed. I have received estimates from several contractors who will spray on the sealer with either water based or oil based sealer. They will give a one year warranty on the work. If I look at Home Depot, driveway sealer in a 5 gallon bucket...

OK I know it’s August and snow is a long way off, BUT, got a new 3 pt snow blower and was thinking if I will need chains for the winter. I have a BX2200 with turf’s, wheels are not loaded, 3pt snow blower with a FEL. I have a slight hill on my driveway and on some others I will clear for...

I have a BX2200, when I am try to take the FEL off the tractor, I do the following: Raise the FEL so it lifts off the supports on the tractor, turn the engine off, and move the controller around to relieve the pressure. When I do this, the FEL drops real hard back onto the supports. It will do...

I need you help… I am trying to connect two work lights (55W) to my BX 2200. I have run a 16 gauge red wire with a 20 amp fuse from under the seat and along with a 16 gauge black wire, to the top of the ROPS. Now my question… I have two switches, one for each light, how do I wire them? Do I...

Besides this forum, what other forums do you frequent and post on? I know of the following, can you add any? Compact Tractor Board- http://jplan.com/cgi-bin/tractor/summary.pl Thanks Tom How about those Yankees???

The grease fitting on the foot peddle will not take grease. I took the fitting off and grease flows through the fitting fine. When I put the grease gun on the fitting I can not pump the handle, regardless of how much pressure I apply. The foot peddle is slow to react and stop the tractor when I...

Did the 50 hour service on the BX2200 yesterday, here are the things I learned….. 1. To remove the engine oil filter you will need a filter wrench, the type that fits on the end of the filter with a hole in the center for a wrench. After trying to fit on a standard handle type wrench for 20...

Looks like the BX will have some competition from MF. If you visit the site at http://www.masseyferguson.agcocorp.com/ You can see the tractor and the specs, pretty close to the BX with FEL, and 60 MMM. Wonder what the price will be?? Any ideas??? Going to take a lot to beat the BX2200, I...

\"Carry All\" How Do You Use Yours Hi All, I am thinking of buying a carry all for my BX2200. I know I can carry stuff with it and was going to use it to collect all the brush from trimming the trees. But what other uses do you have for your unit?? I want to get as much use with it before...

Does anyone know the output of the stock alternator on a BX2200 ? I have searched but can not find anything on TBN. I want to add some lights, but do not know how many I can add before causing electric problems. I was thinking of adding 3- 50 watt lights on ROPS, one in the rear for the snow...

Hi Folks, I am looking for a 3 pt snow blower for next year, all units I am looking at are 54 inch and I will be putting it on a Kubota BX2200. So far I have come up with the following: JRW- $1100, Farm King $1200, and Pronovost Puma 54- $1130. I have very little info on the JRW, the other two...

Hi Folks, I am seriously considering getting the 50inch 3 pt snow blower and 48 inch tiller by Farm King. What do you think of the product? If you have had a good experience or bad I would like to know before I spend $2,650 of my hard earned $$$ Thanks in advance. Tom

Hi Fellow TBN Readers I am interested in the 47" tiller manufactured by Sicma. I know they are manufactured in Italy that is about all! Do you have one, if so are you happy with it? Any idea where I can find info on the tiller? It looks like a great buy for $850 compared to some other in the...

Tiller 48\" or Less? Hi Folks, I am also looking for a tiller for my Kubota BX 2200 and have to live with a max of 42" and 375 pounds. Does Kioti make a tiller this small? any idea what they cost? Thanks

Hi Folks, I am also looking for a tiller for my Kubota BX 2200 and have to live with a max of 42" and 375 pounds. Does Yanmar make a tiller this small? any idea what they cost? Thanks Tom

Hello Folks, How often do you have to grease the 60 mm deck? Manual says daily check, but not how often, every 50 hours,?? Also besides the battery terminals, what other areas do you need to grease on the tractor? The FEL says every 10 hours with "Moly EP" grease. Can I use the same grease on...

Do you need weights on the front of the tractor if you use a tiller? Thanks Tom

I just got a new BX 2200 with a FEL. I will primarily use the FEL for snow removal and for moving mulch occasionaly and other stuff I am sure. BUT when I tried the FEL on the driveway it is causing scraping marks in the black top. I have tried putting the FEL in the float position, but it still...
