I started gathering prices on some basic maintenance parts last night. I dropped Amazon after seeing how much more expensive things are there. It appears that there's an updated oil filter part number. (from Messicks) Issaquah is my local dealer...I haven't gotten a price from them on the...

I only have about 70 hours on my tractor, and I've changed the air filter once already, so I think I'm in good shape if I get on it and get that insurance soon!

I did a bunch of work in dusty soil during the summer without one, so now of course I am thinking of getting one now that the rains have come. Better late than never :rolleyes:

Getting ready to make a filter and supplies buy ... rewatched the Messicks video on secondary/safety air filters anybody doing this? blog and video: https://www.messicks.com/blog/secondary-or-safety-air-filters-on-kubota-eng for the BX they specify the K7561-82360...

Almost worth buying just to have in case!

Yeah my chipper is like that one except it's an older model that has the discharge port on the front rather than the top. The discharge chute on the new models are really nice because they're open, so clearing a jam would be super simple. Mine has a closed chute and when I was first learning how...

It's a small towable DR Chipper ... can't remember the specific make, but it's light enough I can move it around by hand as long as I'm not going up hill or over bumps. My desire to use the carryall is to end up with a compact setup that doesn't involve towing. Then I can just go wherever I want...

I bought a 2" hitch ball at Harbor Freight a couple of nights ago for $9. Next time I'm at my tractor, I'll drop the backhoe and hopefully fit it into the hole in the existing bracket. Hopefully that will address my immediate need, which is being able to position my little chipper without having...

I had forgotten about the bolt-on receivers that clamp to the FEL. That might be handy to have one of those, and they aren't very expensive.

The carryall will allow me to get the chipper to places where I would have difficulty towing it. Plus, the mounting will position the chipper outfeed to the side, which would be ideal. But in the meantime, I just want to put a ball on the existing frame so I can see how that works and get the...

Yes, I had my eye on that receiver too.

Thanks for the pictures! They make BX-specific receivers that have all the holes pre-drilled. I don't mind buying one but prefer to spend the $100 towards a 3PH carryall that I can eventually mount the chipper on sideways. If I can come up with a way to quickly transfer the chipper from its...

I do have a 3PH but I haven't gone to any quick hitches yet. My chipper is light enough to move by hand, so I would be surprised if I have trouble coupling/uncoupling it, but I consider myself warned! At this point just being able to position my chipper with my tractor would be a big improvement...

Thanks for the warning. I already have two hitches for this chipper. When I bought it I wasn't sure how much drop I needed so I bought two. I'm planning on transferring the spare ball over to the tractor.

My chipper is a little towable Dr Chipper that I can move by hand with a little effort. So I don't think I need to worry about lifting the front end. But you do make a good point about towing with heavier tongue weights. Do you know if I can put the trailer ball right in the factory ball plate...

I want to be able to tow my wood chipper and a small trailer around with my BX23S, with the backhoe removed. There's already a plate on the back, and I think there's centered hole in it. I've seen this plate referred to as a "ball plate", which makes it sound like it's designed to have a hitch...

That's clever. Definitely something to keep in mind if I run into this problem on my BX23S.

Well this is cool because I am getting ready to change out the fuel filters on my BX. I watched a youtube video on bleeding the fuel system and the presenter cracked open the connection where the fuel line connects to the fuel rail (or whatever it is) and then turned the key to "ON". I guess...

Owner's manual states: "If the fuel line is removed, be sure to properly bleed the fuel system." hmm ... i just looked up the procedure and it basically says "fill the tank and turn the switch to 'ON' for 30 seconds" :rolleyes:

Matt--that's interesting ... I wasn't aware about BX's tendencies for clogging fuel outlets. Is this all BXs, including the 80 series? What causes that? Also, I like your theory about the system's not being bled after the fuel filter change.
