I would say good morning, but it's well into the evening. I haven't posted in years, but I stopped in to share some news here: https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/death-of-member-jdgreen227.459540/ Hope everyone is doing well! I miss you all.

Hello Everyone, It has been years since I posted on this site; a busy life has gotten in the way and has not left me enough time for hobbies such as tractors, but I wanted to share some sad news: I found out tonight that member William Burns (JDgreen227) passed away earlier this year. I don't...

I just recently purchased my first quick hitch from Harbor Freight Tools. I have never used one before, so I'm wondering what parts I will need. What do I need to place on the draw pins circled in the photo to secure the attachments? Can I just throw a lynch pin on the end and call it a...

I came across this company in my web travels: CMP ATTACHMENTS, llc I thought I would pass it along for anyone looking for a reasonably priced 3-point dethatcher. There are not a lot of units like this on the market.

Today my grandparents came over, so I was proudly was showing off the new BX25. I wanted to show them the backhoe, so my Dad said it was OK to dig in an near area near the garage that was dug up before. Well, after the second scoop I pulled up something that I thought was a vine. It was not; it...

We (me & Dad) just mowed the 2.5 acres for the first time with me on the BX (60" MMM), and my dad using the 48" Ferris walk-behind. When we had the old 42" rider it took my Dad about 6 hours+ to do the whole property. :thumbdown: With the Ferris it took about 4 hours+. :thumbdown: When we both...

Does anyone know any trailer manufactures that make a trailer with a equipment/landscape ramp except for Kaufman??? One with a gate like this:

Here is a dump trailer I came across built by Felling Trailers. (I know another model was discussed here before) Dual-Dump Hydraulic Dump Trailer, Independent Dump Boxes, Landscapeing Dump Trailer

Here is a stump I removed yesterday. It only took about an hour or two using the backhoe and a tow strap.

Last night I crashed the two day old BX25 into the garage door (which we just got this year). The BX was unharmed except for a few minor scratches, but the garage door and frame was completely destroyed. While we were removing the door, it started pouring rain. So we had to try to find tarps to...

Does anyone have an hardware store near them? I'm so happy that a hardware/industrial store opened about a mile down the road from me, so I can walk or ride my bike. I better watch it or I'll be going down everyday...:confused2:

I was just wondering...Does anyone use a weight distributing hitch on a dump or equipment trailer. After researching it looks like that most pickups couldn't tow a 10k or 7k trailer without a weight distributing hitch. Pictures would be welcome!!!;)

We just pulled the trigger (if the financing application goes through) on a Kubota BX25 with: loader, backhoe w/12" bucket, 60" mid mount mower, and industrial tires. Pictures to come! I'm so excited!!!

My family is planning on purchasing a tractor. Were were planning on getting a riding lawn mower, but now we're deciding between: Kubota BX2660 with: FEL, 60" MMM, and R3's. (which we've been planning on getting all along). - or - Kubota BX25 with: FEL, BH, 60" MMM, and R4's. We are planning...

I've been thinking...Would it be possible for a manufacture to make a piece of equipment in the 100hp range with: the cab and PTO of a tractor + the loader and hydraulic capacity of a skid steer + the seat and backhoe of a backhoe/loader? I guess that equals a TLB on steroids...:eek:

Why is it there seems to be very few implements/attachments for category two hitches? (75-100hp range) After looking at attachments for CUT's and SCUT's I noticed there are very few attachments for the larger utility tractors.

This happened long before I was born but I have to share it anyway...My Grandfather was a welder (he used to own a ironworks). One time he needed to weld a gas tank on one of his cars. He flushed out the tank but there was still vapors left. Since he was concerned about an explosion, he took old...

So, what interesting things have you found at yard/garage sales? Around my area most yard sales don't have "guy things".:cool:
