    Oil Changes and filters

    I change the oil, all filters (including HST filter and both fuel filters) every year. Also change the front axle oil and coolant every year. Small price to pay for keeping all the "liquids" clear and clean. Just finished my "fluid" changes this week. Will change the snowblower oil (gearbox) in...

    BX2670- Belly pan needed?

    Just finished putting both back and front plates on today. A bit of a pain with the back plate (for me), the u-bolts in front are not easy to align, but once you do, easy from there. Front plate is not problem installing (10-15 minutes). Be sure to change your HST filter and first fuel filter...

    BX2670- Belly pan needed?

    I use the skid plate from Bro-tek. Comes with back and front options. Just the back plate allows mid-PTO use, and I believe some MMM options. Front plate removes the MMM possibility. http://www.bro-tek.com/skid_plate/

    BX25D cutting out...

    I like this idea, a strainer built into the opening of the tank. Easy to insert and remove, no more accidents (except water?). Will have to shop around for one up here in Canada...

    What is this...

    Looks like the inside material from an old, vintage kaleidoscope.

    hole in BX5450 snowblower?

    Yup, weep hole. My BX2750D has a similar weep hole in the back/bottom. Only works if you store the blower tilted upwards a bit however... This prevents water from freezing into a block of ice in the bottom, which would shear your fan shear bolt if there was a large ice buildup.

    Help please! Can't get hydraulics from FEL reattached

    Take two wrenches and just "crack" one of the threads behind the quick-connect connector. Do both connectors to be sure. Just a bit of pressure relief will remove all the built up pressure in the line. Simply re-tighten after. You may not even see much hydraulic oil come out...

    Tablet info

    Don't need to in most cases, but there are AV (anti-virus) products out there. I use AVG for my Android phone. If it is a Apple tablet, even less reason to install AV, as the operating system is different. If you choose not to use any AV, then just be careful with what you use it for - post no...

    Ear Candy...

    Yup, a bit of eye candy to go along with the ear candy... I think she is very talented, considering she does most of her own arrangements...

    PTO shaft shear bolt strength

    Most Chinese bolts (un-branded) are about Grade 2, maybe a bit less. Start with Gr2 and if it keeps popping under the lightest load, maybe upgrade to Gr5. Bolts are cheap, repairs are not. The grove actually helps the shear by allowing space for the metal to "tear" All bolts when they shear...

    Ear Candy...

    Here's one of my favorites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGlIImajcRI She plays what is called "finger style" guitar. More of the "classics", but that is what I like. She does the arrangements, and has toured around the world. https://www.youtube.com/user/Gabriella9797

    This showed up today in the rain

    Wish something like that would "show up" at my place....

    Backup camera wiring to BX23S

    My understanding is that the back wires are connected to the 20A fuse (as in BX25 series). Your backup camera will use very little power, probably 1A only. I would not worry about adding lights after, especially if you use LED lights. You can power both from that one circuit.

    Too early to take snowblower off?

    Well, I bit the bullet, so to speak. Up here in the north, we always get some form of snow storm in April, but I just could not resist removing the snowblower (getting up to 9C next few days). I did put on the new front plow, scraped the driveway of most of the remaining patches of ice/snow...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    That's a nice fishing boat ;) Probably cost more than the tractor?

    bx 24 with 100 hours

    Insurance, if you use it only on your property can usually be a rider on your home insurance, not too expensive (mine is less than 0.25% of the tractor value/year). However, if you ever use it off your property, even to help a neighbor, liability coverage is a whole new ball game... EDIT: Got...

    Risks of operating tractor from a standing position?

    There could be an option for a hand or leg tether, like the ones on some walking machines/treadmills. You clip the tether onto yourself and plug the plastic/metal key into the safety slot (best is a magnetic pad/switch - can pull out sideways too). That could then disable the seat switch, since...

    Load of Kubota Equipment

    Now, if only I could get that driver to keep going north to the very end of highway 75, turn right after the border, and do about 180 miles to my place, I have lots of room for him to drop those all off.... ;)
