    BX2680 out of warranty with FEL coupler leak

    Edit: I'm not trying to be argumentative. I sincerely hope that my posts didn't read that way. You are correct, federally mandated recalls at the behest of the Consumer Protection Agencies were not the best examples of "corporate generosity." The point I was trying to make is that stated...

    BX2680 out of warranty with FEL coupler leak

    I don't necessarily disagree with you, however, many manufacturers elect to stand by their product when they know there was originally a design flaw regardless of when the flaw is discovered by the end user. I'd think this is especially true if they are repairing FEL blocks under warranty with...

    BX2680 out of warranty with FEL coupler leak

    I'm in the same boat I'm afraid. If this is a known issue with a "fix it when it breaks with updated parts" as opposed to a recall, I think the warranty period should be extended or there should be some consideration from Kubota. I bought my BX23s in July '17. It is 33 months old but has just...

    Does this tool exist?

    EXACTLY! Every search query I tried returned the reverse threaded screw extractor style that required drilling into the existing screw head. Thanks @bmyers! Now to measure the width of these screws and try to find this locally. Thanks for your help!

    Does this tool exist?

    I have exhausted the internet looking for a tool, and I'm beginning to think I dreamed of it. I was just about to give up and thought to myself, "Hey, if this thing exists somebody on OTT has used one before and knows what it is called." I'm in the midst of tearing off old rotted deck boards...

    Anyone use the Snow Edge?

    We are expecting 5" tomorrow overnight, not enough time to order anything, but plenty of time to waste on a "one-time-use" item in the garage this evening, right? ;) I'm thinking of using a strip of corian from a backsplash I took out. I scraped up my asphalt pretty badly with the bucket...

    Lots of silicone on the trans strainer at 50 hrs

    I don't post often, but I read here a lot. Thanks to those of you that willingly share your time and knowledge. It is really appreciated. I just completed the 50 hr service on my new BX23s. How long am I able to call it "my new BX 23s" anyway? I am really enjoying it! :D That said, I was...

    New Member, First "Real" Tractor, First (hopefully) imaginary concern

    Thanks RCW. I just bought the Piranha tooth bar and Armor from BXpanded this afternoon. Here is a picture so that I can remember what it looked like when it was shiny and new.

    New Member, First "Real" Tractor, First (hopefully) imaginary concern

    Not a rant at all. I appreciate the advice and reminder. For what it's worth, I shopped a bunch of dealers too, and pricing was comparable. I didn't save thousands. I chose to purchase from the dealer that was most helpful and informative in the sales process. I think I sent him close to 25...

    New Member, First "Real" Tractor, First (hopefully) imaginary concern

    First, thank you. I've been lurking here reading posts and learning from you for the better part of 18 months. I knew I NEEDED a SCUT, alright, need is a strong word, but I knew if I bought one I wanted to make sure I made the right decision. You all helped me tremendously. Thank you. I am...
