Called the dealer, he showed me the fuel shut off valve, now it is off, but...it still wont shut off with key......... dealer says water in the system, give it time to dry out............4 hours later still wont shut off and the blinkers stay on. I blew out the switches and he described the...

check it out.............got it for digging 9 post holes, and a footer 3x3x2 foot

Well the fence will be going up, but this comes first, moving water away from the patio and down to the ditch in the side yard. About 2 hours worth of tractor work, and some water to be sure it drains. Only concern is the end, may have to do some tilling and lay of the ground changes there...

Heard the other day that my new neighbors may have up to 5 kids. OK, not really into this idea, so up goes the privacy fence around the side of the house they are on. Going to lessen the temptation of kids near the pond, and I really dont care for this family. They basically stole their mothers...

6 months before she would have been! now to get her cleaned up real good for a pic and some lights etc. and only 175 hours on her, very easy hours I might add

As a bday for my tractor, and that it is paid for very soon, I want to add some lights to the roll bar. I understand computers, not ignition systems and electrical systems. Easy it the best for me. Anyone have a simple, easy to do, nothing fancy way of doing this. 2 lights, swivel heads...

I have looked at the kubota bagger system, expensive for no more than it can hold at one time. Also considering the brush that mounts up front, but you still have to pick them up. Anyone know of something that will work well with the 23, and a rake and my back are not the best solution

OK we now are the proud parents of a 7 year old lab....see photo. My question is this, how big a pen should this dog have. He is walked and spent time with each day. I have found at HD, these fence panels, 6' high and they can be tandemed together to make a pen any size. He will most likely...

need some information on what you folks have done to make a successful compost pile. I have leaves, and some yard clippings, fertilizer, but that is about it. I am going to put together a bin behind my shed to start this, should be about 10' x 10' and 3 or 4 feet deep.

anyone have a solution for the stupid NON watertite switches on the dash of the BX 23. I cleaned her all up last week, and they still come on with the switch turned to off. I have pulled the fuse on the flasher, but looking for a permanent fix.

Anyone else having trouble with their internet connection. I have broadband, cable modem, and can be online one minute, check something else and not be connected, then in a minute or so, again connected. Today downloading a file for adware, it started, then stopped then finished about 2...

to work on a BX23. The air filter bracket broke on mine the other day, called dealer, he sent one out to me for me to install (my idea). There are 3 different sized metric bolts to get the thing off, and believe this or not the 2 air hoses for the filter........one is straight screwdriver the...

I am considering trading/selling my BX 23 in favor of a mower only and as a Kubota owner am partial to them. That aside what should I look for and what can I expect from these tractors. I will be spending in the 3 to 4 thousand range. I have one acre of slight to steep grade to cut (BX does...

Been waiting on my friend that I dug a pond for last month to send me the photos of the BX in action moving some rocks around. Here is the first of a few. More are in my album.

Been living with this lousy excuse for a barnyard for too long. This area is behind my barn, but as you can see, no grass to speak of

Well, the liiner did not go back down, even after cutting the part that was set in stone...........so out with the old and......

anyone know about doing something like this. My electric co-op is being un coop about a facility charge of 15.00 per meter. I am thinking solar for the 110 volt in the garage, to save this and the electric bill. Also would need something for the pond, small pump filter combination.

OK, now that I want to get one, TSC can not get them. I am looking for a tool that connects to a garden hose, it is on wheels, has about 8 jets on a bar that increase the water pressure to sweep the drive and patio. They are usually 3 to 4 feet wide. Any help finding something like this...

found my pond liner up about 4 inches on one end just yesterday. I did not have it full as it had to be cleaned out and heavy rains at that time may have done this. will it go back down, I dont want to pull up all the surrounding decorations to put it back down

6 ft. Gill 3 pt. landscaper pulverizer, $400 have not seen this, it was in our local paper today

As you all know I have a bx23 with tiller etc. Well today it sat still while I did this............

think this might be a typo, I\'d sell for it Kubota 2200BX, 4WD, power steering, 114 hours, live PTO in back. Just like new, asking $72,500 or best offer. Found this in our local paper, think it might be sometihing wrong, if not and he sells it, he can sell mine anyday

I need/want to setup my server at home to give me access to files, drivers etc from the internet when I am working. I work on LAN's now as a rule and dont have a lot of experience in WAN's. Need something simple. I have a lynksys router, win 2000 on the server machine, and would use XP to...

Anyone used the magnetic light from TSC? The one I looked at plugs in with a lighter plug and is very portable. My main concern, does the magnet hold well say on a ROPS? Thanks Danny

This was how I spent my Saturday morning not long ago. Yes that is a black leopard "kitty". As many of you may know, we are cat people, love them all, big and small. This one comes from a refuge in Indiana where about 170 cats live out life in as close to natural suroundings as possible...

Ok, here goes first flat on the bota, and I took some photos. here it is flat on the bottom, well almost anyway

I want to put in a walkway to "hide" a drainage ditch at this location by my patio. What I plan is to dig a ditch about 15" deep, put in black corrugate drain pipe with slits, rock and a covering over the pipe. It will drain down to a ditch beside my property, that I also will have to redig...

any one ever google search their name? pretty cool and scary

My furnace burners will start and then go out, sometimes up to 3 times before they stay lit long enough for the blower to come on. It is about 10 years old, electronic ignition, propane fuel. Theres is no thermocoupler that I can see, but there is a small rod that sticks up in the burners on...

plowing snow tonite. Had the bota out plowing the drive and a few drives in the area when what shows up but GREEN............ Some dude on a jd came up with a front blade pushing snow from around the drives in MY area. Pulled up beside him with the bota shook hands and admired machines. He...

I am trying to upload a new photo for use when I post but getting an error of permission denied or something. I want to change the one I have there to a newer one. any hints

Washed the bota today, getting her ready for winter, then without touching the switches, I found the warning flashers going blink blink. Turned on the switch, then off, and they went off, then started again. Then it got brighter, the head lights started the same thing, but would not go OFF...

is this safe guys? As you know I have a bx 23, with all the trimmin's, I am wondering if I should put the hoe on for the winter as a counterweight to the fel. If in fact we do have a heavier winter than last, may need more than what I did with the 2200 last year. thanks Danny

I know this has been thru the ringer and I did a search for dethatcher on the forum search and got some good ideas and information. I have an acre, I need to dethatch it badly. I used my garden rake on a bit of it and got out more than I would have believed. Will the ones at TSC do this also...

Use a shield, not your hand, when around welding in any close proximity. Got my first hard knocks lesson last night around 10:30 when I woke to W E L D E R S F L A S H! That freaking hurts! Ok, I was using the helmet when I was welding, but not when the teacher was. I was only putting my...

OK from what I have gathered MIG is the way to go for me. TSC has their farmhand 125 with cart and access kit, including helmet for 329.00 and that includes the gauges and valves if I want to do gas. I doubt ever building anything that has to hold a couple or three tons, but will use it for...

I knew it was a bad idea for me to take the bota myself, real bad. Made the trip fine, check the photos of the new trailer in my album. What I saw was a snow blade for the BX 23/2200 series. Hyd lift, and shift. neat little setup, and it is also set to use the brush, and the snow blower...

I cut my neighbors grass since her husband is a deadbeat, cheat, and a real louse.....he is also one of our firefighters and ems. Her boyfriend comes around, but is no help. He has one thing in mind. Her son is useless as can be. Now her sons girlfriend is living with them.....free, parked...

OK, the guy down the street that owns the strip of land behind mine, and now has one of those silly ATV's is getting on my nerves. I have cared for (cut grass etc) the property for I know 5 years, he has owned it for all of that, can I take it from him and keep his silly ATV off the property...

At the risk of sounding like someone that has NEVER been on a tractor: just found out the collar on the drive shaft of my Kubota 60" stays back if you push it far enough, making putting the drive shaft on easier, and a lot less stressful. The things we learn by accident!

I am thinking of getting a welder, not a fancy one, just one that will allow me to weld say hooks on my bucket etc. Maybe some frame work for 3 pt stuff someday when I get time and get decent enough at welding. Cant seem to find out anything about mig welding or the differences in it and arch...

is better than a great day working, or doing much of anything else. Due to some OT I have had some time to get used to the backhoe, and save some money in the process. This is going to be a drainage ditch around the barn, what the first guy was supposed to be able to accomplish..........move...

I am going to put in a pathway from my patio to the pond. It will be about 3 feet wide with an area on each side for flowers etc. I am going to make the walkway out of fieldstone. It will connect at the patio to a similar walkway that is actually a drainage channel, but disguised as...

Going to take the MMM off for the first time, so I pulled the tractor up on the patio.........ummmm, MMM wont go all the way down, dummy take the tiller off, the hydraulics work together. Take tiller off......a breeze with the pats, then pull back under patio.........this time with loud...

I need to ask what kind of trailer, or setup do you use. My delema is this, I measure a 7.5 inch clearance from the hoe base plate to the earth. If I have to much incline onto a trailer I believe this will get into whatever the trailer is setting on. My dealer has 18' dovetail trailers with 3...

I have a 6' x 12' single axle trailer that I used to haul the 2200 on. Now I know the 23 is the same, but now I have this backhoe that may need to be trailered along with the 23 and the FEL. I am wondering if I should get a 2 axle with brakes. I have a 2001 Sport Trac 4 x 4 and it pulls fine...

Here is the first real project for the backhoe on my 23. This is the front of my house, bushes are on the way as I rest from my "work" One question, is it alright if she recognizes that I am having "fun" digging so she encourages me to keep going. Had a hard time convincing her this was...

Talked to the VERY nice guy that owns my dealership. Wood backhoe installed 4100.00, and it will work! Alternative: My tractor bx 2200 MMM FEL 131 hours.........trade in for a NEW 23 with MMM, FEL and backhoe, difference of..................... 5900.00 plus tax on the 5900.00 Wife has said...

Go to the barn, and build something in it. I chose this time to sort the tools my father left me, and store them away, and then got a wild idea of builidng the other work benches I need in the barn. The tops will come as we get cases in at work and they dispose of them. Some of our product...

Can someone identify this thing, other than a very mad bunch of bees. Never seen bees like this before.

My Bota is lighting things up, without the switch on. Right turn signal lights the small light on the rops. Large light on the rops does not work. Left turn does nothing, since the left small and large light are on all the time. Emergency flashers do nothing, since most likely the bulb is...

bx2200, 48\" KK, 60\" lawn rake, 60\" MMM. Pot. Plow how much is it worth, all bought new

OK, got started today on part of the back yard projects. Here we (me and bota) are digging the hole for the pond liner.

Maybe I am working it too hard, but when I am working in a pile of dirt and get the bucket under a load that does not even fill the bucket, it squeals. I have checked the fluid level at the back and it is fine, no leaks in the hoses that I can find, but it just done seem to be handling even a...

I could not resist, being that I work in the dental supply business. Here are the pics of the tooth bar from markhamwelding.........Nice bar, ordered it Monday, in my hand on Tuesday, on a la211 bucket on the bx 2200.

The wifey wants a pond sitting area built. It is going to be 8 x 20 and have 4x4 posts with lattice work as the panels. 3 sided and the forth to have 4' to leave an 12' opening. My question is the material. I know I can use the "treated" lumber for this, but the cost is scary for what it...

Just noticed today that when on uneven terrain my Pat's system U bolts dig in the ground. So being the resourceful dud that I am, I simply tied the bottom links up to hold them higher. Then I noticed my MMM was not level........... Put 2 and 2 together, untied the links, and wallla....deck...

this was the scene outside my office window on Sunday.

I have the trailer that I haul my Bota on that needs some serious repainting and rust removing. I am thinking (excuse for new toy) of a sandblaster, but having no experience with them, thought of the pros on here. I have an aircompressor that will do up about 85 pounds with no trouble. I can...

OK, now I have to put up a fence, wood post type. I need a post hole digger and need the pro's advice on it. I have a BX2200, TSC near me and my local dealer has them also. What kind of prices are normal and what size auger is about the max for this tractor. Will also be using it for some...

This is happening at my home in Georgetown, IN right now. As they say about KY type weather, if you dont like it stick around, it will change in 30 minutes or less. I have cut grass this year already.........

Wondering if one of these will work well for ditching. I have to cut one about 150' between my neighbors place and mine. last time I used her troy bilt, but since I have the Kubota wanted to use that. I can pick one up at auction today, most likely for around 40 bucks. Another project is...

I searched the forum under this phrase and found nothing on it. Can someone tell me where to get some weights for my 2200. After loading some dirt in a truck and without the tiller on the PTO, I noticed that the tractor was more than front heavy with a loaded bucket. This is fine with the...

I bought my rake and have used it, works great, but now I am thinking I might want to do some things that the hydraulics just are not fine tuned enough. So I check with my KK dealer, does over 200.00 sound right for guage wheels, and can somoene handy with welder do the same with something from...

I changed the oil in my bx2200 and now the headlights wont come on. I have checked back as far as I can on the wiring, and found nothing out of the norm. also, which one of the terminals under the seat is for auxillary items. I want to use my sprayer (fimco) but dont want to get off and on...

I need to shoot a grade on a ditch around my building, but dont want to fork out some 200 + dollars for a transit. Any idea or products you guys have used or made would be great. thanks

For my FEL. I have been looking at the ones H and H has and like the look etc., but was wondering if any of you pros out there had any other outlets/ideas before I pluck down even more in my midlife crisis toy.

At least it is going to be a reality.

Here I am with the Kubota and the KK tiller, digging it out as I till it up. My wife was skeptical at best about so much for a tractor, then she saw the barn and I knew I was in trouble. I always wonder why when I mention the midlife crisis Mercedez she points to the Kubota. Anyway I loved...

This is what the area looked like before my and Kubota tore into it to create what would become my floor of the barn

I am interested in getting a set of turf tires for my Kubota b2200 and have gotten a price of around 250 with wheels from my dealer........I install them. Is this fair or is there a place I could get them their party or after market. Also interested in a landscape rake. Have looked at the TSC...

Is there an easy way to get these attachments hooked up. I find that I can get one side and the top link, but the second side is a royal pain in the patute. Also has anyone used a middle plow for ditch digging and if so how did that work for you Thanks in advance
