    CAT theft

    I was gonna say, that design looks interesting, neat, but after 10 seconds of looking at it I doubt it would slow anyone down very much at all. Maybe an amateur junkie but that's about it. Why not just cut the small hole areas where the cables go through? Looks good on the surface...

    Chipmunks - is there no end to them?

    Ya. Get another dog. We have a black mouth cur. She LOVES to hunt and chase everything out of the yard.

    Head Scratcher??

    Yes, no sense in buying it unless you buy the gallon size jug with the pump top. I'm on my second gallon too, lol. I make notes or mark what tires I put it in so as not to surprise the tire guy when the time comes. Tire guy years ago told me he appreciated that with the old school aerosol fix...

    What oil should I buy?

    My dealer handed me the Kubota 10w-30 for my first change, so I blame him if the engine fails. Kidding, it's running great <knock on wood>

    Head Scratcher??

    I swear by Green Slime. I think I have it in just about everything in my garage that has an inflatable tire.

    Fuel Stabilizer and Winterization

    slight thread Hijack: Is there any way to save 3/4's of a tank of gas that has been sitting for 2 years? My plan was to drip it into my running vehicles 1/2 gallon at a time.

    Fuel Stabilizer and Winterization

    Diesel: White bottle as above. Gas: Star tron and Stabil together! I had some bad ethanol disease attack all my Stihl Equipment years ago. Never again. I also just about always used the pre-mixed $$$ 2 stroke cans. Winter storage gas Engines: I run them bone dry and spray a good shot of...

    Are all BX Series 80 created equal?

    I was going to do one of these as well but I think I found out it interferes with the Mid pto driveshaft for the snowblower.

    Hydraulic hoses …

    Changed out the ones on my 1980's Fisher Speedcast full hydro plow just a year ago, just because. They were still working but I didn't want to risk it anymore. :)

    Lest we forget

    At work. It was a beautiful day in the Northeast. We thought it was a small plane at first. I left the office to drive 45 minutes away to see a client, listening to Howard Stern of all people, he had good coverage that day. I recall the exact spot on the road when I heard the first tower fell...

    Snow Blower for BX

    I've got the 23S with a front mounted snowblower. Cannot fully answer details at this time but it does in fact use a pretty specific K-Connect system to mount the snowblower. If the dealer says it won't work I would be quite trusting on that, but still do some diligence. More tonight if I get...

    My first Kubota

    I don't mow with mine, way too heavy. I have a zero turn. I have a hydro chute with electric deflector. The wire popped out a few times, lost the lock tab, otherwise it works well. If you're going to skimp on something, this might be an option. Get the Quick attach bucket. Get Pallet forks...

    BX loader capability vs. 1series JD

    My first project with my 23S was a patio and lifting pallets of stones. To my dismay I could only lift one full course of stones on the pallet at a time, with another few 1/2 courses stacked on the inside. Once I got passed that project though I've been pretty pleased with everything else it...

    'new' family member: G1800S

    Congrats OP. When I retire, I want to gobble up old (I know 89 aint that old) tractors and make them nice again.

    BX loader capability vs. 1series JD

    IMHO everything mentioned here is a "little" tractor, little to no difference besides personal preference. If your main concern is lifting capacity, you'll want to go the next size up from these tractors. From where I sit: My little BX23S is good around 500 lbs, or max 750 at a low and slow...

    It's 100% about the tenant. You either love it and make $$$, or hate it and lose $$$, there's really no middle ground.

    Grapple. Wins and Losses

    Thanks. As an experienced tax preparer whose sat behind a desk his whole life, professionally, never ever drove a fork lift, or a bucket, I think you're totally wrong about the grapple, it's the most fun I've ever had with my pants on.

    BX2380 to a BX23S Maybe have a question for those that have the 23S

    (Preface: I'm an accountant) It's easy, it's not that bad, and I'm a newB at it. Can't take mine off in a minute like the guy above, but in 2 years I've taken it off, oh 3-4 times and it's taken me under 5 mins each time, maybe 5+ to get it back on. The 3 pt hitch kit can be intimidating to...
