    BX23S mini ROPS

    Correct me if I am wrong. It looks like you fabricated a replacement for the top half of the ROPS. It also looks like the transition between the vertical sides and the top cross piece uses pieces of relatively thin wall square tubing. Personally I would never consider such a design as equal...

    WSM. KX41-2 VS KX41-3. How Different?

    First off, I have no problem paying for a copy of the WSM for a KX 41-2. But I want to know what I’m getting before I make a purchase. I have a copy of the manual for the KX 41-3. It is excellent at over 600 pages and is what I would expect if I bought one for the KX 41-2. I also have a copy...

    Now that I have a Kubota mini EX....I wish there was a forum for it!

    Got it! Makes the most sense I think.

    Turning a tractor over

    EDit: on REread, I see I just confused myself. You were actually speaking correctly, good advice, my bad. my apologies...(red face) Can you confirm what you are saying here? The way I read it is that you are giving THE WORST POSSIBLE ADVICE i HAVE READ IN DECADES! So I ask that you confirm I...

    BX23S mini ROPS

    I do not worry about safety police either, but... However, I would not be comfortable with your modification without some kind of bracing at the top corners, at a 45 degree angle. It sure looks like it would fold if you ever had a serious need to use it. Hopefully you will never need to use the...

    R14 tires on BX2200

    This was my thought too. But since you bought them from the dealer (if I remember right) seems like they should have the correct size ratio.

    Glow Plugs - How Long Do You Keep Them "ON" Before Cranking The Engine ?

    Maybe so, but it makes no difference really, whether a timer does it or a human does it, the recommended time would be the same in either case.

    Canopy. Are they good to have or not?

    I built something similar to a canopy to offer protection from falling branches/debris and for other reasons. It uses expanded metal on the top. I thought it would work as a canopy if I put a sheet of plywood on top of the expanded metal. NOISY!!! I could not stand it, and do not have the...

    Turning a tractor over

    As mentioned, the MMM helps lower the center of gravity, and adds to side slope stability. If you think you are nervous now, it only gets worse after you tip your tractor on the side. I did that once after over ten years of ownership. It CAN happen, where you would least expect it. In my case I...

    B2710 towing question

    Just for reference, I pulled a lot of 2000+ plus loads of dirt in my 5x8 dump trailer (1300 lbs empty) with my BX2200, up slopes steeper than you are dealing with. Ran out of traction if damp, not power. It would have been a piece of cake with my B2910, same tractor as yours, just a couple more...

    Bonehead move

    I don't have any ideas about your tractor, but you are not the first to let the tractor run unattended until the fuel ran out, I can assure you of that. A couple summers ago I was digging dirt and using my smaller tractor pulling my dump trailer to mover the dirt. On the last load, I forgot to...

    I am sorry but LMAO. You sure answered the question as to how you know the kerosene was dirty! Hope you get things resolved quickly!

    My take on BX fuel filter(s)

    Not sure I would like a fuel filter exposed in the front like that on my BX2200. At the risk of jinxing myself, finding a place that sells clean fuel is probably most important. After having an issue with my NEW B2910, requiring a filter change, I started buying fuel at a high turnover place...

    BH 77 backhoe bucket sizes

    I do not have the Bh77, but my BL4690 has about the same digging specs. I bought a 10" and 16" bucket. I almost never use the 10". Clogs up with our clay soil too much. To the point of being a nightmare if damp or wet. I would go with the 16" if I only were buying one bucket. A wider one could...

    L3430 turf tyres chains?

    If you get no specific replies, how much side clearance do you have between the tires and fenders? In my case on my smaller B2910, I only had about an inch with my R4 tires, and it was not enough all the time, because the chains shifted and ended up sticking out a bit too far at some point...

    Box blade as a dozer

    I have one of those. Very useful at times. Agree totally. Actually, I am pretty sure I do. The one I have I believe I have always used in the push mode, backing into a pile then carting off what I grabbed. But I remember thinking I could reverse the orientation if I wanted...

    Mini EX for Tractor Backhoe price?

    Me too. I think it will...but will not use it probably for four months, until winter is behind us. Might play a little though...:D Just looked like a fair deal so I jumped on it.

    Guess the title says it all... Wish there was a Kubota mini EX forum. Maybe not practical. Oh well...
