    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Of all the implements I've procured for my tractor, the pallet forks have helped in the greatest number of different tasks. I'm always amazed at all the tasks that have been made easy and fast, and honestly, fun. It's just so damn satisfying! Yesterday I built my first palletized wood storage...

    Offsetting rear blade ... should I grease it?

    Short and sweet ... I mean no surprise :) I have a bunch of paraffin, which someone else suggested.

    Offsetting rear blade ... should I grease it?

    For the people who cautioned against using grease ... what's the downside of using grease? It seems like an obvious question but I'd like to know what your actual reasoning is.

    Offsetting rear blade ... should I grease it?

    I don't have any extra weight on my tractor. I've only used the blade in one session so far. First, offset with some extension and angle ... to bring some gravel back onto the driveway. Then centered without angle. I didn't have any problems with crabbing. As it turns out, I have some...

    Offsetting rear blade ... should I grease it?

    Thanks guys for all your suggestions. Sounds like I really can't go wrong whatever I end up using.

    Offsetting rear blade ... should I grease it?

    Hope I didn't make it weird lol Actually, this "dry fluid film" ... what is this? I looked it up and found a product called "fluid film", but I assumed you were using the term generically

    Offsetting rear blade ... should I grease it?

    I pay attention to people who use all caps to emphasize. I hear you. Thanks

    Offsetting rear blade ... should I grease it?

    Cool thanks. And it will be easy to clean off if I decided it was just a bad idea. When I first tried sliding it, it bound up and I eventually tappy tapped with a sledge hammer. It would move around but not slide. As it turned out, shifting the blade back allowed it to move, but this was...

    Telescopic stabilizer kit opinions?

    It might not be and here's why ... it's possible that you could build a platform to set the QH onto that holds the drag arms (or whatever they're called) and toplink while you hook them up to the tractor. I'm getting better at installing the 3PH onto the tractor, but I've been known to do that...

    Offsetting rear blade ... should I grease it?

    I just bought this 5' Rankin rear blade this weekend for my BX. The blade tilts and offsets. It took me a while to figure out how to get the blade to slide ... you have to hold it a certain way otherwise it binds up for reasons I don't fully understand. I started thinking about completely...

    Telescopic stabilizer kit opinions?

    When I bought the 3PH for my BX23S, I took one look at the turnbuckles and said "hell no", and went straight to telescopic. I literally never used the turnbuckles. Eventually I also got some Pat Quick Hitches too. Remember that the BX's can't lift the implements as high as with bigger tractors...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I picked up a Rankin 22-60 rear blade. I had made my peace that I wasn't going to find a blade that had the offset and tilt, but when I got to the tractor store it turns out I was confused and they had the 22 series in a five foot blade. I got the price and said "write it up" . Very pleased...
