Picked up the 54" KK today. Ran it through the garden and surprised how well it did on first pass. However after closer look one side of blades front and back aren't turning. When raised off the ground I can't turn them either. Am I missing something?

Doing the 400 hr service on Kubota B2320 and was down to reinstalling rear hydraulic drain plug after all fluids were out and new filters put on. Had that bad feeling when it wouldn't tighten correctly and sure enough stripped some of the threads. Went to auto parts store and got an oversized...

I mow about 3 acres of our 7 acre place since building our home there 2 years ago. Each year I've gotten a couple loads of top soil to fill in spots that were low or small but bumpy ruts due to dozer etc that happened during the building. While it gets better I still have a ways to go along...

No, not another which is best thread so please read on. Couple weeks ago I asked a question about trading in my B2320 for either a 2920 or 3200. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/kubota-owning-operating/270074-b2320-b2920-3200-a.html I got a quote for the trade in and cost of a B3200 and it...

How noticeable is the difference in power when going up. Have the 2320 and like so many before the needs didn't quite match what I thought when purchased almost 2 years ago. Initially thought light loader work with mostly mowing 3-4 acres. I way underestimated the loader work in moving dirt...

The garage is out of room trying to hold the wife's car along with the tractor and all the rakes,shovels, and other small tools. Would like something in the 10x12 size with a lean to for the tractor. I'm limited in my skills but my father in law has some experience. In no rush so thought could...

Two part question: 1) Can I pull it with a B2320? No clay, fairly easy dirt to work with. 2) Do I actually need it? First garden, have broken the ground with a middle buster and been through it with the scarifers from box blade. This did much better than I thought and actually looks like a...

Anyone esle have this problem? It's the bracket that the seat sits on. I obviously have lost a nut or something but can't see a spot where something is missing. The bracket is very loose side to side and easy to move around when the seat is lifted up. Just a little confused with where to even...

Put the loader on tonight to use the ratchet rake like I've done 50 times. Worked it for about an hour and when I curled the bucket up to get rake out of the way and lower the bucket all the way down to park, the bucket hits an abrupt stop about a foot or two off the ground while lowering it...

Yes, next year. This Spring will consist of finish levelling part of the lawn, landscaping the back beds, and planting some trees and larger shrubs in the front. When May gets here I have a large area to level and seed some bermuda. Have had small raised bed gardens for a few things but now...

Love it!! Here's my oldest helping bring some wood up to the house.

I had turfs on my b7300 before and would spin a little in some damp grass but overall was pleased. When I got the new b2320, after much reading I went with the bar turfs. The turfs on the front are easy on the lawn when turning but have a little extra on the rears that helps in my situation.

Couple weeks ago I thought I felt a slight slip in the loader control (joystick) while moving some topsoil. Stopped everything, looked for anything leaking or out of the ordinary but didn't see anything. Went back to working and now notice some small play in the control, about 1/4 inch in...

I know it varies greatly due to your area but when do you cut your field etc so you don't have to do iit again this year? Have seen some fields around here in central AR cut this week, seems a little early for this part of the country.

Love my B2320 and have only 50 hours with probably half of that using the mmm. My understanding is you have to bring the deck all the way up to make the height adjustment and then lower it to the new height. A little fickle in the beginning but after a time or two of bringing it up the knob...

I have had my B2320 a little over 2 months now. In fact yesterday hit the 50 hour mark moving some dirt after having 3 dump truck loads delivered this week. Love the machine, plenty of power for me, mows like a champ, just one not so great thing I haven't adjusted to and thats the boxblade...

Have never owned or used a tiller before but with our new property I'd love to have a nice size garden as well as use it to help break up some ground before leveling. Anything in particular to look for in a used tiller? Have a 4 footer for sell locally. Looks for sure older but owner says...

Built a small pond last year, about 1/3 of an acre. Put a couple pounds of fathead minnows in with plan to stock this spring with a few bass and bluegill. Waited too late and now have an order for early fall. In the meantime last week saw a snake with a catfish taking it to shore for some...

Moved to our new home this Spring and have large section to the side of the house I want as finished lawn. I would estimate it's about an acre and a half. Have a spot in the back that will probably just brush hog 3-4 times per year but both areas are very bumpy. Takes forever to do both areas...

Finally got a few hours on the new tractor today and boy what a difference from the b7300. Power steering was the first pleasant surprise that I had forgotten about. Using the fel instead of the scoop was night and day and vey enjoyable. Was a little overwhelmed reading how to take off the...

Have this concrete culvert and wondering if I can make this into an effective roller to help smooth out a few spots. any ideas on best way to use this or if its not worth my time? Don't know how the pics will work from phone

Went by the local dealer last week to get a quote on a new B2320 with fel and mmm. He took a whopping 700 dollars total off list price. Said he was going to be a good fella and give me the cash discount even though financing. How nice of him. Sent Brady an email and then we spoke and got a...

See discussion all the time over the most common type of tires but what about the bar turfs; where do they fit into the mix? About ready to pull the trigger on a new b2320 and found these are an option. Was leaning towards the turfs because my property is a little low and the yard can be a...

The Kubota dealer is having an open house this Friday and Saturday; received my special invitation in the mail :) A pure advertising ploy or should someone expect to get a better than average deal?

Finishing up our new house and in the process if it all have been grading an area in the front yard. Have just about got it like i want but noticed this past weekend there was a wet spot that would have normally dried by now. 2 days later now and that spot is triple in size and we haven't had a...

After many years of planning and more recently construction, our new home is almost finished. Prior to building we had many truck loads of shale brought to make a drive for the concrete trucks etc. It has held up fairly well, have a few low spots but even after yesterdays all day rain I'm able...

Anyone have any experience with this grass? Centipede is kinda iffy or has been here in central Arkansas due to possibility of cold Winters. The Tifblair supposed to handle the cold better and germinate faster. I like the option of this over the normal bermuda that is here. Also, some have...

So JD is coming out with their new subcuts and have heard some say they would rather not buy a new model, let someone else find all the bugs. I can understand that but has any of the big tractor companies ever had a new model that had significant problems that caused others to stay away? Would...

I'm always looking at ebay and craigslist if for nothing else curious. Noticed last week saw a B7300 (model I have) sold on ebay for 4000. Had a bellymower and 900 hours. I acutally threw a bid at 3700 but got distracted by the kids or may have another tractor. Guy had a video of it and...

Here in central Arkansas I'd bet close to 90% of all homes are built on a slab foundation, at least here in the central and southern part of the state. As someone who doesn't know much at all about construction I thought a slab was a slab but boy was I wrong. We closed on our contruction...

Bushhogging this moring and hit a rock that was propelled forward, never have noticed anything of any size go forward, and saw it hit the back passenger door of my truck. Not a huge dent but very noticeable and was visual from the 30-40 feet I was away. Really drove home how anything can go in...

Anyone use one? I don't have a FEL and thought this might be handy in moving some firewood and obviously moving some dirt. I wouldn't go buy one new but saw one for sale just up the road for me and sure I can get it for a good price, just wonder what other things it can be used for if any? I...

My B7300 has a little over 900 hours but have only had it since Spring. I've put about 50 hours on it this Summer. I usually let it warm up 4-5 minutes, a low idle or going slow to wherever I'm going to use it. If I'm using the box blade, usually light work, when I idle up to start working...

Have a brand new finish mower and was hooking up the PTO tonight and it was a big pia. A brush hog was my first pto implement and it hooked on with just a little nudge after greasing both ends. This finish mower has a big guard which doesn't leave much working room to begin with. I first put...

Need a couple dump truck loads of top soil but due to a few trees and an area that may be soft I don't think the dump truck will be able to help me spread as he unloads. So I'll have a couple piles of dirt but I only have a box blade, no FEL. I don't need to spread it far, maybe all of it...

This is the week I have to make a decision on a finish mower. Need a four footer and have looked online at Everything Attachments and the one Ken Sweet has. I appreciate Ken answering my questions. Just saw locally someone is selling a King Kutter, just a couple years old and in excellent...

Have researched the SCUTs and smaller Cuts and have asked a lot of questions here and elsewhere and to the best of my knowledge the BX2660 is the best fit for me. However, I say orange only because there are no Massey dealers close by. The specs and the overwhelming positive posts here stay in...

Small dilema that I'd like ya'lls input. Will be moving into a rent house next month that is close to where we will be building early next year. The rent house has about an acre sized yard that will need to be mowed. Currently I have a B7300 Kubota tractor at the land where our house will...

Ad said its a 1970s Sears something or other. Saw the ad earlier with a video link and it seemed loud but it definitely could cut the grass. Prett cool I think.

Boy time flies, construction on our new house should begin in a few months and then I'll have a real yard to mow. Right now have the B7300 at the property with a brush cutter and box blade to keep the grass cut down and spread and level dirt after the dozer left. Just doing that myself has...

Have a local ad for a four foot rake. Definitely no where near a new one, looks fairly weathered. Ad says make an offer (along with some other implements). Guess I could offer anything to start the process (which I hate--just tell me how much!:mad:)

B7300, have had it just a few weeks with about 20 hours (over 850 total on tractor). Today was the second time I cut 7 acres with the bush hog. All the other hours were with the box blade. I was about half way done today and after I had backed up to cut under a few trees the tractor suddenly...

Changed the oil for the first time on my newly purchased B7300 (876 hrs) last week. Was hard as heck to get the oil plug off. It loosened and then just spun and spun. Finally was able to get some downward force while turning and got the bolt off. The bolt was stripped big time so took it in...

New to me tractor (used B7300) and the adjustable side link is stuck like nothing else. The adjustable part that lets you swing the arms wider was stuck but after a little oil and elbow grease all works well. Didn't work for the side link. How forcefull can I be? Any product that works...

Used tractor for about 30 minutes, went and refilled the tank and when I started her back up the fuel guage wasn't working. Didn't worry about it, finished up for the evening and when I went to park I checked the lights and they weren't working either. Everything else seems fine. Assume a...

Since Friday I've used the box blade for 3 hours and bush hogged for about 5 hours. Cutting the field yesterday I hit some fairly thick grass and it went right through no problem. I can tell the box blade is going to be very effective at many projects I have. I got my manual from Messicks...

Yesterday was delivery day and also went and got a boxblade and bush hog. Still have to assemble the bush hog :mad: but first had my virgin drive with the BB. Will take some practice but seems like it will be very effective for what I need. Appreciate everyone's responses and...

Went and got a 4 footer along with a BB yesterday and was taking care of the 7 year old as they were loading me up (you had to be there ) and didn't realize the cutter wasn't put together. Anyway, don't know if that is normal or not but this type of thing isn't my cup of tea. No book either...

/Pine posted a table where a RCK60-24B belly mower will fit a B7300 with a converstion kit. These readily available at the dealer? How much and how much effort will be required for the job of the kit and attaching mower? Thanks and sorry for all the questions in the past two days. Tractor...

Bought a B7300 and need a mower. Is the HP that runs a bellymower and the HP that runs a finish mower different? Silly I know, but the consensus was I need a four ft. finish mower because of the 12.5 HP at the PTO. Makes sense, but every used B7300 with a bellymower has a 5 ft. So my...

I've been reading and lurking here for almost 2 years and today finally bought a tractor. Not a new one but will be my first tractor. Got a B7300 with 850 hours. Super excited to get started on projects at our land where our house will be built. :D My first question is if I need a rotary...

As I've posted here before looking at a few B7100s locally. Both have the 60 in bellymowers and can be had for prices between 4200 and 5000. As I widen the search, I find a B7500, tractor only, for 5K about 3.5 hours away. Even further is a B2400 with bellymower for 5K, about 8 hours away...

Looking for an older tractor to leave at some land we have to keep the grass mowed. May use a BB at some point. Found a B7100 at a dealer about 30 miles away. Online it says the pistons, rings, head gasket, seat, and fuel tank have been replaced. Tractor only has about 800 hours on it...

Just finished having our pond dug. Haven't measured it but I'd guess its about 3/4 acre, about 12 ft deep in spots. Will be building a house there within a year. Have two young boys and can't wait for the fishing. We know we don't want catfish. Bream, bass, black crappie, bluegill, are all...

Would you buy a used tractor if you didn't know how many hours it had. Looking for a used tractor to leave at the land to cut the brush 4-5 times a year. Found a Kubota B8200 with loader, 4wd, but the hour meter is stuck at 460. Price is 5300.

Seems to be a few of these in the 500-800 hour range for around 5K with the belly mower. Saw one that had almost 1800 hours for cheaper, don't know if that's getting up there? We have a property we'll be building on, hopefully start next year, so need something to mow about 5-6 acres for the...

Excavation has begun on our 7 acres and boy what a mess. The 10 inches of rain last week didn't help.:mad: We will have a pond built for fill dirt (doesn't hurt I wanted one anyway :cool:) and I want to make sure this is a usable pond for fish and not just a hole where we got our dirt. Does...

We are going to be hiring an excavation crew to start work on our raw land in the next week or so. Do I need some sort of liability coverage for this piece of property?

I'm selling my riding mower on craigslist and after answering some standard questions I get this response: Hello I really appreciate your response to my email.I want you to consider it sold, pls do withdraw the advert from craigslist to avoid disturbance.I want you to know that i will be paying...

Has 90 hours, 2 years old. Moving to a smaller place for a year while we build on our land. Too big for the rent house and I'll be purchasing something much larger once we build. I see a few on craiglist around that don't seem to sell when priced 2200 and up. I was thinking $1800. Sounds...

I wonder if its just my area or is this nationwide, but I've driven by the two nearest dealers and they don't have one on the lot. Now mind you these aren't mega dealers but I would think they would have one. With the JD 2320/2520 and orange 2320/2620 everywhere what am I missing on the 1523...

JD 2210 with 62in MMM, 186 hours. No loader but says loader ready, turf tires. It's on tractorhouse for 6900. I emailed the guy and he responded with how many hours. Was looking at the 2305 or even the BXs but won't turn down a good deal if I find one. What ya think?

It has 185 hours with loader but no mower. Listed for 5500. I thought scam at first but on tractorhouse, there were a few tractors with loader only priced between 7 and 7.5K, so I guess 5500 could be possible. Guess I'll send a response and see if he tells me its already wrapped and ready to...

In this thread http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/kubota-owning-operating/137802-bx-neutral-return-position.html they are talking about the tractor continuing to move forward after lifting off the pedal. Had a guy say the same thing happens on his Massey GC. This happen on the 2305 at all?

Finally went and sat on a few tractors and at first thought a BX would fit my needs and I'm sure it would, and still may, but really liked the 2320 as well. I do have a few areas that the ground clearance will be suspect and initially will need more of a tractor. However in the long run I...

When comparing tractors what is the important spec I should look at in determing which has the best loader? I'm looking at lift capacity at max. height, at pivot pin; then it's lift capacity at 59 in; and on to breakout force etc. :confused: Comparing the BX2360/2660 to the JD 2305.

Little confused here. Read many threads about the need and improvement of filling your tires for the 2305, BXs, and GCs if doing any work with the FEL. Don't you buy these machines mainly for mowing and not having a heavy tractor on your lawn? Doesn't filling the tires defeat this purpose? I...

As usual the debate and questions continue over scuts, cuts, and which one should I get. From the BX, 2305, GC, and TZ to the cuts of each model the question continues on which is best for someone's particular situation. I've read where some think the Kubota 2620 is too heavy to mow with as...

I've been in a dilema to either buy a used tractor to just mow the grass at our 7 acres (about 5 acres to mow) or go ahead get what I will eventually need when we build our house (1-2 years away). I've decided to just get something to haul out the property to keep the grass down. Right now...

Anyone do this? Watched one of those landscape shows and the homeowner decided to put in a 600 gallon cistern under the ground that is filled with rainwater from the roof via the gutters and downspouts. Said a simple pump was used to water the yard/plants when needed. Don't look that...

Last Fall we bought 7 acres. We bought the last two lots at the end of a cul de sac. We knew going in it was somewhat low and would require some dirt work etc. The price reflected this. The general slop is from left to right in the pictures below. As you can see there is no ditch in the...

A 2004 Mahindra 2015 with FEL, 824 hours, gear--$6500 or MF GC2300, 255 hours, FEL, 5ft. finishing mower, and 5ft. box blade--$7200 Both are for sale locally. Have thought about a new one and still may but these caught my attention.

Gear transmisstion, 800 hours with FEL. All records of maintenance. He's asking $6500. Fair?

I'm about to push (hopefully not too far) my John Deere X300. You can see in the picture the tall uncut grass. It's about knee to thigh high and I'm going to tackle it this weekend. Should at least be good and dry. Just a few spots where it's pretty thick otherwise think I'll be ok. Had my...

Anyone know (of course you do) about what year this would be? Says it has 300 hours on it as well. 18hp. Fair price?

I have read numerous times that some feel that the price increase isn't worth the extra 3 hp. My question is what can a 2920 do or use that the 2620 cannot? Can it pull a 5ft. RC instead of a 4ft? I believe they weigh the same and I'm sure that plays a role but as a new looker into the...

As my wife can testify I have spent more time on here than a man should...well maybe not, but anyway I really enjoy the converstion between newbies like myself shopping and the experienced tractor owners who have been there done that. It has been stated over and over that whether its green...

Found a tractor online that is a great price (maybe too good) and I asked him how the transaction would proceed if we did the deal, this is what he sent me. Hi again, The tractor is already at the shipping company in Houston,TX sealed and ready for the shipping. I have a contract with...

Closing on 7 acres next Tuesday and it needs mowing asap. We are buying two lots in a small subdivision so it has to stay kept up. The realtor who lives on the street said I don't have to keep it mowed every week but can't let it get out of hand. We don't plan to build for about a year...

Was kind of set on getting a new tractor but someone brought this to my attention. Waiting on the owner to respond back on what model this is. Ya'll may be able to tell by just looking at it. 4 X 4 Tractor - Small 23 hp Massey Ferguson

My first post here and as everyone else says this site is a wonderful resource of information. Just purchased 7 acres, mostly cleared with some woods. Will need a tractor mostly for mowing with some FEL work (at least I hope so :D). There are Orange, red, and green dealers near so that's my...
