I have a 5x8 dump trailer that is road worthy with brakes on the single axle, rated for 3,500 pounds. I pulled it a lot around my property loaded with dirt with my BX2200. Up slopes too. I would not hesitate to pull it loaded with my B2910. Doubt I would even know it was back there. Only...

When you build, build about three times bigger than you think you need. My shed is something like 28 feet square, and to comfortably store what I have, under roof, I think I would need probably 30 x 60 feet. Of course if I had that I would soon run out of space too... :oops:

I pulled my 5x8 single-axle dump trailer with my BX2200 A LOT a couple summers ago, using an attachment similar to what Huey posted the picture of above. 200 or 300 loads, did not keep track. Up some grades where I about lost traction sometimes, depending on soil dampness. Generally carried...

Most here may already know this, but I am posting this for those who do not. I stumbled on this today, something I downloaded a while back apparently. Looks to be a very useful procedure if needed.

That does sound strange. In my case the maximum travel would be reached and the pressure relief valve would trip, but the dipper would stay in position and not fall, and after I centered the control it would remain in position. Can not help with a solution, but it certainly appears what you are...

Flip, good post. But, as someone who also has worked in the steel industry for decades, before retiring, I do not think there is much difference (if any) between steel made from remelted scrap, and that which originated from Iron ore processed through a blast furnace. It is all about chemistry...

The foam-filled rears on my little BX weighed 181 pounds each, and they are MUCH smaller than the rears on a L2501. When you get a price, ask what a filled tire will weigh. AND report back! Very curious... I do not have a clue, but would not be surprised if the foam filled rear tires on an...

Please do check the front axle fluid level...better safe than sorry. And update us too!

I would call around and get a price directly from whomever foam fills tires in your area. My guess is that the dealer is not capable of doing it himself, and is subbing it out and you are paying a middle man fee. If you supply the tire size, the foam filler will be able to quote an exact price...

Just an added thought. Since the bolts/nuts (do not remember which it is at the moment) which mount the spacer to the wheel hub are covered by the wheel, It is a good idea to use locktite blue (removable) to hold them in place after you torque them down properly. No way to check them without...

My LA402 was installed on my B2910 by the dealer when the tractor was purchased. They gave me a couple gray painted plates around a foot long and somewhat asymmetrical in shape as I recall. I want to think about 3/8" thick. Multiple holes for bolts. Just mentioning this as you may have to...

You got very lucky. Often the oil finds its way into a cylinder through an open intake valve and when you try to start the engine it becomes hydrolocked, and a bent connecting rod is the result. Big $$$. I learned here at OTT that the PVC system is often the route the oil follows when a tractor...

That is the exact same dirt scoop as I have. Very good value for the price. Bought mine about 15 or more years ago. It is a little rusty now...Yours looks like new. Mine lives outside in the weather year round.

I do not think the box blade is going to break. It looks to me like the risk of damage is bending the 3PH arms. One would think the attachment point of the 3PH arms to the tractor would be equally strong when pulled backward or pushed forward, but do not know with any certainty.

Gee...you seem highly critical. Pushing 17 years now on my BX and have yet to change a fuel filter. Both my Kubotas have been extremely reliable over the last 16-18 years. I did change the fuel filter once on my B2910 soon after purchase due to buying crap off road fuel. Bought the B2910 in...

Flip, I was thinking of that post when I posted my recent experience...😄 Guess we just need to be aware of all the options...

If you do not need the mid PTO I would seriously consider a L2501. I have a B2910 and was considering an L2501 as a replacement/companion tractor. The main advantage being extra weight that adds traction. (I though about my real needs/desires and bought a used mini ex instead of a new...

I got the impression to join the equine program you had to own a horse. Is this correct? Not shopping now but curious...

Yet there are literally thousands of BX tractors out there used just as hard with no problem at all. Must not be all that bad of design after all. If you would bother to look around, several manufactures of small loaders use a single tilt cylinder. I remember years ago (While in Japan) seeing...

...For the older Kubota KX41-2v I recently bought. I figured Kubota would be expensive so I did not check, just found a place on Amazon that would deliver FIVE keys for $8.99 plus sales tax. Decided to give them a try. They arrived today and work perfectly, even have the correct number stamped...
