    Switching Tires/Wheels when needed.

    I have all 4 as turf tires and keep chains on the rears 100% of the time. Granted I don't do any heavy work, don't drive very far and rarely on pavement. Most of my work is snowblowing. (20+ hrs/winter-kinda varies) 10-15hrs of whatever in the non-winter months. A little mowing, a little...

    Drawbar fixtures

    Mikester That's the exact one I have on the top of my bucket ! I can put it in the rear trailer hitch on my tractor as well.

    DC barrel connector advice needed.

    "TheSource" replaced Radio Shack here in Canada. I bet you could not find even a common resistor (of any value) or roll of solder in one of those stores today.

    BX1880 dead

    ...or better yet, buy one of these and use it for life...rather than running back and forth to your local auto parts store every time you have a suspect battery. A voltmeter *MAY* tell you part of the story, but it will only tell you PART of the story. I've seen batteries measure 12.8vdc at...

    Gaining traction

    48" commercial (front) blower on turfs here too. My dealer told me he doubted I would ever get stuck in the snow with turfs. I didn't believe him so bought chains as insurance, but from what I read constantly, turfs seem to be pretty good in the snow ! (certainly with chains they are!)

    Gaining traction

    That's not exactly so, as the snowblower rides in float mode, (it doesn't hang in the air off the front unloading your rear wheels) so all your tractor is doing is pushing it (or, raised, pulling it backwards) You are correct that ballast can help, but I usually snowblow with NO BALLAST unless...

    Gaining traction

    Hello from next door. If you got the same ice pellet/freezing rain stuff, I feel your pain. It was like sugar or frozen beach sand and pretty tough to snow blow with the little 'BX. Thankfully I do have turfs with tire chains (no spacers) on the rear only and ran in 4wd-lo range About 1/2...

    Grille guard insert? (bx2380)

    Somewhere online (maybe here; maybe youtube) I heard mention of a new grille guard insert MADE BY KUBOTA for the BX series of tractors. I am in Canada w/ a BX2380 Does anyone have a part #, reference, web site, picture or anything? (Am I dreaming and this was for an LX maybe?) At this time I...

    LX3310 vs BX2380 MMM side slope

    You could always do an experiment. Park your tractor on the steepest part (side sloped), of that lawn there - shut it off. Park a truck or something very heavy up on the driveway, adjacent to it. Attach one end of a tow strap, big recovery rope, chain, HD ratchet strap (you get the idea) to the...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Snowblowed 12-16" (depending on where on the property you were)_ of very heavy wet drifted (27-28") snow. Out by the road the snow completely filled the blower. The snow was drifted up to and over the bumpers of both cars. Broke a shear pin about 2 minutes before I was all done. (always the...

    Do you have a vanity plate?

    Had a 1974? Nova 4-door. For what it was, I loved that car. Even slip sliding around in the snow was pretty fun. Old beater straight-6 engine was super easy to work on. Would love to have a 70 2-door!

    New (to me) BX and to the forum

    In the fall there's a short time where I have taken off the mower, but still use the FEL. I really notice the 225-250lbs (or whatever it is) missing when the mower deck is removed. After one scary event just trying to lift a roll of fencing with my pallet forks,(rear wheels off the ground!) I...
