    New to Kubota BX2360 questions

    Your mower has to be fully raised in order to turn the 'Height Knob' to the Top position. In order to keep the back blade raised, you'd need to reposition/move the 3pt arm links. Or, chain the arms up. It would be easy to use those mounting points and chain the 3pt arms in the raised position...

    New Saw

    Put a wedge in the kerf to prevent the lean back. Plastic preferred or even wood shims would work.

    New Saw

    Best I can tell is it looks like semi-chisel safety chain. Did the kickback condition happen at the beginning or end of the cut? Are you cutting on a pulling chain (bottom side of bar, chain moving towards the powerhead)? Just a thought but, as you're cutting the pieces off the stump, could the...

    Wingfoot2

    Not something you have the chance to see every day. It made a pit stop on its way to the airshow. I never knew they had retractable landing gear, that was interesting.

    Using the drawbar to pull a trailer

    Not sure what speed, terrain & how loaded the trailer you plan to pull is but, yes, absolutely you will be able to pull from the drawbar. If traveling at high speed, stopping will be your issue. I have occasionally dragged my 18' trailer behind my BX when cleaning up trees in the yard without...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Cleaned up a butternut tree that was a casualty of all the rain and high winds we had earlier this spring. I hacked off the exposed roots on the sunny side and was able to stand the trunk back up to chop thru the remainder. It was about all the BX wanted when I came time to move it to the burn...

    Box blade tips

    OP, I'll add that with the BX Series, we don't have position control so you'll need to be aware of your box blade height each time you lower it. You'll eventually get the hang of fiddling with the 3pt control to get the height even between consecutive passes. Also, if progressing across really...

    Bx wheel weights

    I turned mine from some scrap slugs. ~50# each, 2 per side so I've got about 200# and they don't stick out past the tire to catch on things.

    Suggestions for a wood floor.

    We went with pre-finished when we added on 18 years ago. Laying real hardwood is worse than a jigsaw puzzle as you need to be looking several rows ahead to keep your joints staggered. The first few rows are the most important to keep straight until you can get get the nailer to clear the wall...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Plowed 4-5 inches of heavy wet white stuff out of the driveway and 4 of my elderly neighbors. When you can plow in a t-shirt, it's sure nice! 😉

    BX pusher

    Nice job on that pusher! Now, you just need a heated cab and you won't care what Ol Man Winter dumps on you.
