    Plugging in your tractor

    It always amazes me how much quicker and easier my BX starts on a cold day, no turning for 10 seconds and big black puff of smoke. I have it stored in an un-heated shed and have the block heater connected to a wifi controlled AC switch. These things are crazy cheap on ebay ($10). You just turn...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Built me some 3 point hitch lower arm spreaders. They works awesome, so much easier to work with than the standard turnbuckle.

    BX25 Cab. What brand did you use?

    Hi, I plan to build myself a hard cab someday but for now, I just modified a used John Deer ride on mower soft cab that I got off kijiji for $150. I just keep it on for winter along with my quick coupling connected cab heater. Its far from air tight but much better that no cab at all and a lot...

    Big Shovel for the BX FEL quick connect

    I've had this in mind for a bit and decided to throw the idea down in Sketchup to scale. You guys think it could work for digging trench. Obviously not as practical as a real BX hoe but a lot cheaper. Cheers Rob

    BX grill guard; cruise control for BX1870

    Hi, are you gonna be doing any snow removal? Is so, I would definitely step up to the 2370. Cheers Rob

    anybody with bx1870 wish they had bigger?

    My big decision maker going with the BX 2370 vs 2670 was that anything over 25hp is not covered under my house insurance policy. And after 1.5 years of use, the 2370 is working out great for my snow removal and lawn care. cheers Rob

    BX FEL bucket tilt re-assigned to blade angle

    Hi 85Hokie, yes I was thinking of something like an idler pulley, even only on one side, just something to give a little slack if need be. And Kenny, that would be the ultimate setup rite there for sure. I was thinking of going that route as well but couldn't source the parts needed. This...

    Anyone using a timer for the block heater

    If you have a smart phone, you could use a $39 WIFI wemo switch by Belkin to control your block heater on demand. I used this last winter for my BX, worked great. You can program in the custom on and off times for that early morning cleanup but the coolest thing is you can just turn in on or off...

    BX FEL bucket tilt re-assigned to blade angle

    Hi folks, I finished my angling blade project this weekend. Built an adapter plate to fit onto the BX FEL Quick Attach. Picked up a 3000lbs - 5/16" cable winch on sale at Canadian tire. I tested and all seems fine now but the real test will be in a couple months on a cold morning when I need to...
