Who Says You Can`t Put a Dozer Blade From a John Deere on to a Kubota BX23s

[BX23S-1]

I'm still looking for the 'dozer' blade in this thread.

Ohhhh... sorry bout that, you youngsters aren`t familiar with the older terms of what things used to be called :duh:

I've been using this 8' plow setup for 20 years or more. Added a rubber scraper this year because of the 800' of new concrete in the driveway.

In high gear, the tractor isn't even warmed up by the time I'm done. 2 passes and lights out.View attachment 627599View attachment 627600

VERY NICE!!!!!! Where did you find the rubber scraper (?)

Nice Job, But it has to be painted Kubota Orange!

Next summers project...lol. I was just happy to finally get it done.

THIS is a dozer blade.

What you have is a snow plow blade.

Looks like it worked out very well. I enjoy seeing projects that adapt and use things that some people wouldn't think of.

One question though. Will the BX need to take anti-rejection drugs?

Thank you... yeah it was quite a task thinking how it could be done, then buy what i needed, then putting it all together. It works amazingly very well! :drink:



Anti-rejection drugs.... BAAAAAAhahahahahaha, you thought of something i never even given much thought about.... i`m gonna have to look into that for sure...lol.
One thing i did worry about though, was all the red trans fluid had to be flushed out from the cylinders. Didn`t need that mixing with the Bota blood and infecting it
I was able to flush the cylinders out with solvent, used low air pressure to blow all the old Deere blood out of the cylinders until it was clean.

Thanks... i think everybody gets it. Excuse me for not being 100% politically correct to your standards.

It is splitting hairs a bit, but despite looking similar a dozer blade & snow plow are reasonably different. A true dozer blade is WAY stronger. A snow plow is up to pushing dirt, especially not anything packed. Dozer blades are also mounted further back on the machine so they don't bounce & cause washboard. Some tractor mounts connect the plow subframe further back but truck, riding mower & a lot of tractor mounts dont.
