asparagus is done for the year. blueberries and potatoes are both doing well.

I went to remove a rear wheel from my BX the other day and a wheel stud in my Bro-Tek wheel spacer snapped as soon as I applied pressure. Anyone know: Can I simply press these from the front side? Where can I find a replacement?

yes. mine are drilled at 6.5" on 18" axles and the RCK54-23BX deck is stable on them. no casters since i wanted them to be simple and tool-less. the hard wheels skid laterally well enough when i need move it twice a year.

speaking of coyotes - my buddy spotted this up the street from my place this morning. look like a (ragged) coyote? i've seen them around from time to time and, as my profile pic might suggest, am not particularly fond of them hanging around.

i sure picked a hot a humid day. other than that, everything went well. the front axle oil was a bit dirtier than i expected, then again it's not filtered. hydro fluid came out looking like new. my assistant was passed out on the job by the time we got to the MMM gearbox. kids these days...

i've had great experience with these guys as well. have a look to their application chart here to get started: Tractor-Tire Chains Recommendations i run the 2-link spaced smooth (non-v) on the rear of my BX with turf tires - nice smooth ride, great traction for snow removal and they don't...

nice photo up today: https://www.facebook.com/Southwest.Wildlife/photos/a.377193352336621.89558.137012473021378/885176608204957/?type=3&theater

I went to remove my BH bucket, with plans to install my ripper tooth. The first pin came out like expected, but the second wouldn't budge. I tapped on it lightly with a copper rod, no effect. Nothing LOOKS visible damaged or bent but I'm sure it wouldn't take much. I'm wary to force the pin...

we are having a record year for blueberries and raspberries! picked a few of the latter this evening. upright freezer in the basement was one of the best investments we made after we started gardening.

how deep of a sand bed above/below the tubing do you all backfill with, to protect a buried poly water line? thanks.

not the best pic, but here is what i did. just two pieces of flat stock that 'clamp' over around the ROPS. i placed watertight connectors at each fixture as well as one at the folding point of the ROPS for easy removal. i run four lights in total - front pair is on one switch and the back...

great little accessory! it doesn't get cold enough here for me to *need* a block heater but i like the peace of mind that comes with knowing that i'm saving a bit of engine wear - plus the machine gets to operating temperature a bit quicker when i need to plow before leaving for work. here's...

size creep. it lines up: Corporate Average Fuel Economy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia i credit most of this to cafe standards, and the lack of updates there. in the early 1980's there was an enormous requirement for fuel economy. manufacturers acted quickly and met the regulatory...

i posted this to rural living before realizing that this forum exists... http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/rural-living/327064-steel-diy-fire-pit-advice.html we've been through a few commercially-produced cheap fire pits - they're junk and just don't last. i'm looking for something bigger and...

** this might be better in the welding forum but it looks like i can't delete this one ** we've been through a few commercially-produced cheap fire pits - they're junk and just don't last. i'm looking for something bigger and a bit more utilitarian for the next round. after doing some...

some time ago i started searching for information regarding block heaters for my BX25. for one reason or another i found a variety of threads with more questions than answers and varying opinions on part numbers and installation locations. so here goes, from my experience today, to put the...

So I was searching a few terms on Google Trends this morning and decided to search "Kubota", for no good reason. I looks like we get pretty excited about our equipment about the same time year after year as spring comes around. The consistency of the trend's repetition is really interesting...

my entire lot is on a hill, not at the top nor the bottom, and water is a constant problem since it comes on to our land from others' and i need to be careful in shedding it so as to not flood (or seriously anger) my neighbors. i've done several projects in this domain. where does the water...

on my tractor there were two leads (red/black), each with a bullet connector on the end. they were totally wrapped in, and concealed by, electrical tape. when standing behind the tractor they were attached to a loom that comes up the center/left, not far below the toplink connection, just...

i haven't had a chance to polish it lately, but our pup loves the BX ...

just finished mounting a 60" Warn ATV plow to by BX25 ... hope we get some snow this year!

i went with the small ones (1.25") due to the clearances on my 54" mower. most of my annual hours are accumulated mowing and i wanted spacers that i could install and forget. i installed them this afternoon. no idea (yet) if they make the machine noticeably more stable, but they made...

i bought a box scraper earlier this summer, and used it to cut a drainage swale into the hill towards the top of my lot. it has made a tremendous improvement, greatly reducing the amount of water coming into my yard and subsequently towards my home and other buildings. luckily the grass came...

not a big job, but a backsaver for sure. finally got to use my bxpanded pallet forks to unload my black friday score this weekend :-)

does your shed have a solid floor? do you have a dolly for your backhoe? i find that being able to store mine in an orientation other than the one which allows for mounting/removal saves a lot of space. i.e., turning it perpendicular to the tractor at the back of the shed. Backhoe Storage...

Did you buy the machine new? If so, and the dealer installed the deck, then it *should* be properly adjusted. I found that mine needed a little fine tuning. If it hasn't been done, or you're not sure, it can't hurt to break out the manual and your deck gauge to make sure everything's right...

hi all. long-time reader, first-time poster. i finally bought my BX25 last fall and the 50hr. service is approaching. i found several informative links about doing this myself, but i was surprised not to find information anywhere about torque specs for relevant plugs. anyone have torque...
