    Cost of off-road diesel

    Off road is about thirty cents a gallon less here, but when you're buying only ten gallons at a time (which is what I do) and the stuff is well over five bucks a gallon (closer to six, actually) it hardly makes it worthwhile to drive any distance at all for the off road stuff unless you drive a...

    50 hour Hydro oil filter change

    I did the hydro oil on my BX1860 at 50 hrs and the stuff that drained out looked just as good as the stuff I put in. With my BX2370 I didn't bother. First change is scheduled for 400 hrs.

    BX Steering knuckle boots.

    I installed a set last year and so far so good. I also have the underneath fuel filter upgrade from the same seller and it's been on there for four years, also with no problems. Recommended.

    Do I need this

    In the winter when the mower's off and the snowblower's in use, I always lock the mower bracket in the top position by the method mentioned above.

    AI2 quick attach, or Tach 'n Go

    I would think there wouldn't be many people who had both systems. I researched them both very carefully and went with the AI2, although if I'd had my druthers I'd have gone with Jery's due to the slightly less weight and slightly better attachment system. However, the lead time on Jery's...

    Wood chipper

    I've had two chippers, both manual feed. Got rid of both of 'em. I wouldn't do it again unless I could have hydraulic feed.

    2750D to bx1850 hookup

    Orangeglow is correct, unless you don't have the hydraulic chute rotation, then you just use the two outside connectors.

    BX grass catcher compatibility

    I have a BX2370 with the 54" fine cut MMM. The homeowner's association next door has a BX 2360 with a 54" mower (not fine cut) and the Kubota "materials handling system." The system has only been used once as they use the three point often enough that changing it often isn't an option. They'd...

    New BX2660 Grill guard

    No price listed on the website...."Get a Quote" only. Not a big fan of that.

    Trailer lights for BX2380

    How about a strobe on the ROPS plugged into your 12v socket? Something like this: https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/emergency-led-light-bar/mini-emergency-led-strobe-beacon-magnetic-surface-mount-12v-plug/5635/

    Pin-On bucket vs SSQA on a BX23s what would you do?

    I initially used the BXpanded forks on the bucket of my BX2370 but last year upgraded to the Ai2 system and am glad I did. I change between forks and bucket quite often, and the Ai2 forks will lift more than the BXpanded forks because they're back closer to the tractor. Plus, the visibility is...

    BX2380 fuel filter relocation

    I never take the mower off in the summer, so it's really not an issue.

    BX2380 fuel filter relocation

    I've had one of these on my BX2370 for a couple of years now. Installation was a bit more of a challenge than changing the original filter, but it was well worth it. The kit includes everything you need, and once it's installed changing the new filter is a breeze--plus you can visually inspect...

    New 2380 that needs first greasing since dealership

    Grease is like oil, it doesn't really matter what you use as long as you do it. It's not anything to get stressed out about. Best of luck with your new tractor, they're lots of fun.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Yesterday I took delivery of a Curtis Cab for my BX that I've been thinking about for years. I fork-lifted it off the truck, saving $350 for "liftgate service."
