I found a local seller of new Titan Implements (not Titan Attachments) box blades, and they are definitely a contender.

Heh heh, I make financial and clinical outcomes models for the pharmaceutical industry. But trying to plot a path that might lead towards doing side jobs with my tractor, starting with doing driveway work. I made my first money with my tractor a few weeks ago ... $200 for 2 hours, plus a $25...

Oh this makes me laugh. Researching the crap out of it and then buying something from Harbour Freight. I acknoweldge that this could be a potential outcome for me. But as I said in my original posting, I want to know what I bought, and why I bought it. If I buy something cheap then I want to...

I've read that thread multiple times and have done online searches for Bobcat and nothing came up in my area. One thing I'm starting to wonder about is if there are farm supply places out there that sell products but don't have an online presence. I don't frequent these places so I have almost...

Thank you for this detailed reply. This is really helpful. And anybody who uses the word "tertiary" is immediately going to get my attention. :)

Interesting ... 10 hours of driving each way though. :(

There's a term for this ... it's called the "inflationary spiral". So yes, to the extent that accelerate purchases ... in other words, that I buy things today that I would have purchased in a year, I am contributing to inflation. If enough people do that, it creates a feedback loop. The most...

One thing I like about inflation is that it gives me a reason to buy things today that I want, instead of waiting.

I notice that you didn't use the glow plugs, but without the temperature being logged it's difficult to evaluate if your starting procedure is going to damage your tractor. I recommend that you log at least the basic readings like temperature and humidity, although solar radiation would be good too.

I do not think that things will be getting less expensive any time soon.

One thing that occurs to me is that there are three use cases that we should probably be clarifying: 1) tuning up an existing driveway 2) spreading fresh gravel 3) leveling & preparing raw dirt, including roots It seems to me that these challenge the tractor differently, especially #3, because...

You are gold. I didn't even know that existed. BX Series: https://www.kubotausa.com/docs/default-source/lp-pdfs/01-bx-series-lp-implements.pdf B Series: https://www.kubotausa.com/docs/default-source/lp-pdfs/02-b-series-lp-implements.pdf Here's a screen shot on the box blades section. This is...

Thanks! I'm coming to the conclusion that a 4' is the way to go. I need to maximize the probability of success, and nothing will be more depressing than to go through this entire careful process and then end up with a unit I can't use. Your comment also makes me pay heed to the warning about...

Thanks for all the replies so far. The choice between a 4' 4.5' and 5' seems to be the most crucial decision of all. My biggest fear is getting a box that's too big that I have to abuse my tractor to use or spend so much time fine-tuning the operation. The BX23S has the mid-sized engine of the...

I just ordered the stabilizers from Messicks. Thanks for the tip.

By the way, here is a screen shot of the data I've gathered:

I have a BX23S and am starting the process of finding a box blade for it. Yesterday I spent a considerable amount of time (as in, up until 4AM) researching the design & specs on a bunch of different makes and models and compiling the results. My process is to learn as much as I can so when I...

I for one do. Stopped eating sugar. Rarely eat processed foods. I switched to non-alcholic beer and rarely drink hard alcohol. Started an exercise regimen.

I did some reading on this a few weeks ago. I wish I remembered specifics, but what i recall was that the early cj4 oils hadn't been fully worked out when they were first put on the market. And that newer oils, like ck4, which are compliant with cj4, are ok. Perhaps someone can comment more on...

I'm about to do my 50 hour service on my BX23S, so first oil change. I'm planning on using Shell Rotella T6 Full Synthetic.
