    Tricks to replace Motor Mount on BX2200?

    Thanks. They are probably supposed to be slanted like that, but that have bent in towards the engine too. Unfortunately I don't have a cherry picker. In the past in similar situations I have jacked motors up from underneath, being careful of jack location. I may need to spend some time...

    Tricks to replace Motor Mount on BX2200?

    Hi all, I have a BX2200 and need to replace the front motor mount bushings (or that is what I would call them. I added a pic for reference). I have purchased new ones and plan on doing it this weekend. The metal mount brackets will need to be bent back so the holed line up. For those that have...

    BX2200 BXpanded pressure tester issue

    I had purchased a hydraulic pressure test kit from BXpanded to check the pressure on a BX2200 I bought. For some reason I can't get a reading. Since the tractor is older it does not have the 4 quick connect setup like in the instructions. It has 3 of them. The gauge in the kit only fits on 2 of...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Buried some chicken wire about 6” down around the edge of the new coop. Used a couple of passes with the ripper to make the trench.

    The BX makes things easier

    Pond is just under half an acre and about 8-9ft deep. We fish it. It was way out of balance when I moved in. Had tons of Bluegill, but nothing else. So over populated they were all stunted etc. Last summer I added some Bass and Catfish (small from a hackery). This year I am planning on some...

    The BX makes things easier

    I agree. Purchasing the tractor is one of the best things I have done. It makes large projects enjoyable. Last year we did a lot of brush and small tree removal. The difference in the pre-tractor routine of cutting things up so I could haul them in my small trailer hooked to my rider and the...

    The BX makes things easier

    I hear ya about the tractor shed. It is on my list as well. I am almost tempted to get one of those $300 portable garages to put it in until I get my pole barn built. I will be putting in a new gravel drive with mine as well as a garden and deer food plot. I need to work new tractor attachments...

    The BX makes things easier

    So it is starting to warm up some here and than means starting some outside projects. Using the BX for more stuff than just plowing some snow. This weekend we removed a limb that was hanging over the roof. Instead of having to do it in pieces I was able to route my straps and anchor them to the...

    Cold start after a month of sitting

    My BX2200 had been sitting for probably a month or so in the cold garage. Needed to clear snow. Glowed for 10 seconds and it fired up. Was a little grouchy for about 5 seconds, blowing some black smoke and running rough. Then it cleared up and all was good. I was a little easy on it until it...

    130 hour update (B2650)

    It is. It was like that when I purchased it and the previous owner had the rim on backwards. With the rim flipped the tire would interfere with the 60" MMM. I haven't gotten around to flipping the tire on the rim yet. I haven't noticed a difference in traction, but it does seem to tear up the...

    130 hour update (B2650)

    I got a used BX2200 this past spring to maintain and fix the 5 acre property I purchased the fall before. IT has been one of the best purchases I have made. I am amazed at what I can accomplish with it. Clearing brush, mowing, leveling and smoothing, putting in a stone driveway, clearing...

    Cold weather starts

    It has been single digits here. Negative overnight. My BX2200 sits in an unheated detached building. I glow for 10 seconds and it fires up with almost no cranking. It does run a little rough for a few seconds and belch some black smoke, but that clears up and I am good to go. For starting a...

    bx2200 starter click-click issues

    I added the starter relay to bypass all the voltage drop points. Since then it starts great.

    Glow Plug Brand?

    Thanks. When I first got the BX last spring I had an issue with the starter just clicking when the key was turned from time to time. It would always start great when I would jump the starter. I went ahead and added a relay that bypasses all the resistance areas that cause the voltage drop. Since...

    Source to purchase used implements

    Hi, I am looking to purchase some more implements for my BX2200. Is there a good resource for used implements? They wouldn't be used a ton, so I have a hard time paying full/new price for them.

    Glow Plug Brand?

    Thanks for all the feedback. I am holding off on the battery and GP right now. It is still currently starting. If it decides not to I have other batteries I can use to jump it.
