    Only Back wheels spin on 4WD kubota?

    Save your 4 wheel drive for when you need it. If you get your tractor stuck in 4 wheel drive, then you are going to need additional assistance to get out. You are already beyond the possibility of the tractor. Getting stuck in 2 wheel drive allows you the luxury of using the 4 wheel drive to...

    Looks like this one may be the real thing!

    This storm didn't give us as much snow as they had predicted, or as the weather lady asked her counterpart. "So Bob, where's that 8 inches you promised me last night?"

    BX Snow Blower PTO shaft came off while snow blowing.

    Since he had difficulty removing the blower, and we know that it is a K connect system, the splined shaft in the K connect has to have moved forward. In short, something wasn't tight enough to keep it in alignment parameters when installed. Better known as "Assembly Error".

    BX23S Cab NO HEAT!!

    The heater is integral to the cab and mounted horizontally across the bottom of the windshield. My old cab had the type of heater you pictured, and it worked very well.

    BX23S Cab NO HEAT!!

    I will call Curtis and see if I can get the heater installation instructions. Possibly there is something in there that will be of use to figure this out.

    BX23S Cab NO HEAT!!

    The heat in my new BX23S is worse than dismal. Spent 2 1/2 hours today freezing in the cab, and had the lower vents blocked so as to direct all the heat to the windshield. It barely had enough heat to keep the windshield clear with the wiper going. I felt the heater hoses and they are both...

    Do you have a rear windshield wiper on your tractors cab?

    The title says it all. Just not certain if it is a necessity or a need. I have a BX23S with a Kubota (Curtis) Delux Cab.

    BX Snow Blower PTO shaft came off while snow blowing.

    The drive shaft as a locking collar at the rear that you pull back to engage the PTO shaft after you put it onto the front hitch. You have to have had the wrong shaft, but more likely, either the hitch for the blower was installed incorrectly, or one of the shafts is the correct length. Don't...

    When the wind decides to turn a barn into a chicken coop!

    The best way to keep the concrete within spec is to buy a dozen or so concrete testing tubes, and tell the contractor that you are going to take a sample of every load of concrete and have it tested against what you purchased. When I had my cellar poured, I had all the tubes ready to be filled...

    BX23S with Curtis Deluxe Cab and Windshield Wiper

    It uses the same bolt and nut as the original wiper used and it comes with 2 spares and a couple of adapters that are not needed. I do have a cab heater, but it is just about worthless since I don't get a lot of heat out of it. Not certain what the problem is with it, and I believe that it...

    BX23S with Curtis Deluxe Cab and Windshield Wiper

    Today I changed over the windshield wiper blade for a rubber-coated blade that is designed for winter use. The rubber coating flexes and helps to keep the snow and ice from building up on the frame that is used on the summertime blade. I got the blade from NAPA and the cost was approximately...

    Additional LED Lighting for a BX23S with Cab.

    Just noticed the question about where it is mounted. I mounted this above the windshield just below the roof and between the two LED lights that came with the cab. I wired it into a pigtail that I pulled from one of the switches that are mounted in the box on the inside of the cab just above...

    R14 tire pressures

    If your rears are filled, you run the risk of blowing the tires off of the rims because of lower pressure.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Today I removed the snow plow and installed the snowblower for the impending storm that is supposed to start around midnight tonight. I also changed the cab's front windshield wiper to a winter version that is rubber encased to keep the snow and ice from clogging it while in use.

    When the wind decides to turn a barn into a chicken coop!

    A friend had a concrete contractor quote him on a 4" thick floor, and he gave him the go-ahead on the job. He marked the height of the floor on the wall, and after they were finished with the pour they left. He came home that night to check on the job, and found that they only poured it at 3"...

    Tractor cleaning?

    I know of a fuel dealer that used to wash the fuel delivery trucks with diesel fuel and water mix with a drop of Dawn dishwashing soap in the bucket. Slosh that all around, and then hose it off. His trucks never showed any signs of rust and always looked clean. Today they wouldn't dare use...
