    BX23S 12v accessory plug live?

    I had an BX1880, that I wire to the left side of the instrument column, that worked fine. Using SAE connector i purchase the one that connect directly to battery. I worked fine until I sold the tractor and bought the upgrade BX2380. This time i decided to wire in the battery tender just below...

    Paint alternative

    A year or so back I bought 2 cans of the kubota orange rustoleum, and they did the job nicely. However I also bought 2 qt cans of the rustoleum kubota orange and that hold up a lot better, and it is a perfect match. I still have a qt left, so one qt went a long way.

    An easy 12volt power hookup.

    I just installed a simple power hookup on the back of my BX tractor. for those that do not know Kubota put electrical wire near the 3 pt hitch. They are noticeable as most are covered in a blue electrical tape. Cut and remove the tape and you will see 2 positive hookups, and 1 ground hookup...

    MMM front pin.

    That is where I bought it about 2 weeks ago. I receive a pin and spring from them, but later decided to call, and see if someone would come over and install the pin. A maintenance man showed up yesterday, and it appears they had sent me the wrong pin. So he left and said he would come back...

    MMM front pin.

    Not actually the same pin. It would be one of the two rear pins that you pull out and release to hook up the MMM. It's name according to Kubota is Front pin. I believe you are right the dealership has deliveries over in my area weekly. i believe I will call them and ask if they could stop by...

    MMM front pin.

    I recently purchase a new BX2380 tractor. The dealership dropped it off at my home. Later I realized that one of the MMM pins was missing. The dealership over 40 miles away sent me a new pin, spring, and push in pin. Any tip to installing it. I am an 82 year old man with balance issures. I...

    Best position for bucket hooks

    I put two hooks on my bucket, directly in line with the loader arms.

    Bucket cutting edge

    I have both a Piranha cutting edge and a smooth one. I like them both.

    Bucket cutting edge

    My vote is for the Piranha. I have the straight and the cutting bar. Once you drill two holes for one, it immediately fits the other. You can remove one and replace the other in two minutes. Simple as pie.

    Last Friday just sucked !

    I know how you feel, and I can understand the grief, as I am experiencing a similar situation with my wife having possible Lung Cancer. She never smoked or did an drinking, and it is hard for us to understand. She enters the hospital on the 30 of april. By coincidence it is 58 years for us as...

    Who did I piss off??????

    I don't want to upset anyone but to my understanding Husqvarna ceased production of their petro products including chain saws. I believe they closed the factories, and now are only going to go with battery powered tools. You might check before you buy.

    Ballast box for BX2370; is the Landpride WB10 worth the price?

    Add some 6 or 8 in wood blocks fixed to the bottom of the box. Easier to lift and easier when you lower it to the ground to release from the Quick Hitch. Low cost.
