    Compatible Front Mount SnowBlowers for BX

    I think I ended up deleting the link in my 'favorites' folder, but...... I found a post on ? (tractor.net maybe?) and a guy there had got a 2750b and put it on a BX23s/80 series BX. Apparently, he just used the 70 series front attachment/shafts/etc and it just bolted up. The only downside is on...

    JDQA snow pusher on BX23s

    I'm in Fairbanks, Alaska so the idea of being able to just go get a SSQA down the road doesn't apply. There's a 60" JDQA snow pusher for sale here, I'm thinking of getting it and welding a SSQA plate on it to use with my BX. Opinions? I already have a SSQA plate to use. I think I may have to cut...

    BX23S to BX2750D

    I read on another thread that the only 'problem' is that you can't open the hood all the way on an 80 series BX with the older K connect system on it. Is that true?

    Tractor loses power

    Yeah, the weird thing with my BX when it does that, is that removing the cap won't 'fix' it. But disconnecting the fuel line from the electric fuel pump, turning on the ignition and making sure the pump works (it'll be pumping out fuel onto the ground). Then hooking the line back up and the...

    Tractor loses power

    My BX23s has done similar things and so far I'm pretty convinced it's the fuel tank cap vent....not venting due to being iced up. For some reason, even loosening the cap doesn't 'fix' the stumbling/stalling issue. But, when I pulled the vent apart and made sure it was clear, it seems to have...

    Stupid Tractor Newbie question about snow depth

    Also, (I pretty sure you can do this on a Front blower) have you tried going into the snow until the tractor stops, and then moving the snowblower up to break up the top layer (probably above the snowblower) and letting it feed into the blower that way? I had to do that in the 2.5' areas of that...

    Stupid Tractor Newbie question about snow depth

    Well, maybe you can push a back blade through 3' of snow. It'd depend on how heavy your back blade is. My BX setup certainly wouldn't do it. My back blade is pretty good for cleaning up though

    Stupid Tractor Newbie question about snow depth

    agree with everyone above, an FEL to start to bust it up is your best bet. That is one benefit (besides the price) of a 3ph blower with an FEL up front. We had similar conditions here in Alaska (snow, rain?, snow) and I was able to get someone's driveway done (2-2.5' cover) with the snowblower...

    SxS SSQA plow attachment

    I like the 72" length, two passes on the driveway and it's plenty wide. Plus, the SxS is actually a little nicer/quicker to use so I'll attempt to 'once again' fix the winch mount in a way that will hold up. Challenging conditions? Nah it was almost +30f yesterday!!

    SxS SSQA plow attachment

    It works pretty decent and the main thing is I'm not worried about breaking the frame! The tractor is pretty long like this with the snowblower on the 3ph

    SxS SSQA plow attachment

    I bought a SxS when I first got here to be able to plow my driveway. It didn't take long to start wrecking the frame where the winch plate bolts to. If you look at the leverage over that area.....well it's not a shock. After reading and watching a few people using truck plows, I figured I could...

    BX stalls around 1/2 tank on sloping ground

    I've waxed the fuel filter in my Dodge twice in areas where I bought the diesel (Idaho and Kansas). I feel confident that the fuel up here in Alaska isn't waxing or gelling because if it were, it would definitely show up in the truck and it doesn't. That and it's actually stalled over a wide...

    BX stalls around 1/2 tank on sloping ground

    RCW, 'don't do that' haha, great advice of course. It's more if I spend a couple hours on one driveway, then a couple more on another driveway, then want to do a little touch up on mine and it stalls..... Or if I start on someone's driveway at 3/4 tank and it stalls (that time it was on 'flat'...

    BX stalls around 1/2 tank on sloping ground

    ACDII, just read your reply. Yeah that's a possibility. I brought that up to the Kubota dealership (tractor isn't even a year old). I have definitely seen icing buildup on the vent (and yes, calling this a vacuum lock is a better description) and clearing that off seemed to fix the problem...

    BX stalls around 1/2 tank on sloping ground

    I've wondered this as well, but like I said, I can detach the fuel line, turn the ignition on to pump fuel, reconnect it and she'll start up and run. (This immediate sequence of events leads me to generally rule out the lift pump and tank exit being the problem) The last time the tractor did...

    BX stalls around 1/2 tank on sloping ground

    The sputtering and stalling happens on my driveway when going up it (so left and right side of the tractor are relatively even). It's not a filter issue (and I've replaced one already anyway) because the tractor will run for hours with a full tank with no issue. I'm mostly convinced it's the...

    BX stalls around 1/2 tank on sloping ground

    Does anyone else have this issue? I live on pretty steep terrain (one of the reasons I went with a bx23s instead of a B series). My tractor will run fine but sputter and stall out (sometimes) with the tank at about 1/2 way (+/- some). Usually it's on steep terrain, but also happened the other...

    Cold Weather Starting Problems

    My dealer only sells tractors with block and oil pan heaters installed. Big difference in starting when it's plugged in for an hour or two and those temps.

    Hydraulic Top Link

    I made one for my BS23s. I measured the factory link and found a ram that was 'pretty close' to the retracted and extended lengths. Then I found a valve to operate it and attached that to the ROPS. Then had a hydraulic store fab up the hoses to tie into the factory BH hoses. I actually have it...

    Extreme Cold weather operation

    Not at just above idle speed in the middle of a cleared out piece of land with the parking brake on it isn't. It also allows me to give the blower a once around while it's slowly rotating to look and listen for any problems from the day before. I'm near the tractor
