    50 Hour Service

    My owners manual states to change the fluid at 50 hours, BX2680.

    SGC1060 OR WICKED 55

    Good call. The 48 for the 80 series BX is pin on only. Looks like I either need to modify one to an SSQA plate or not get one. I really think the larger ones are far too heavy to be useful, and for the price, I am not willing to risk it. Likely will never get a grapple unless I can find a 48 in...

    Found this on Amazon this morning, might be good since I already have the forks. Just a bit pricey though. https://www.amazon.com/Spear-Debris-Adapter-Pallet-Forks/dp/B0071DX3P8/?tag=daedelusmusic-20

    As small as my pasture is, we'll probably be fine with the bucket if she doesn't wait 6 months to clean up again. Thanks for the ideas though.

    Engine RPM

    Not sure where I read it, but I engage MMM PTO at 1600, then mow at 3200ish. My Tach is marked for 540 RPM for the rear PTO. There is a long orange part of the tach that reads Loader, and I use it almost at max of that range for loader work.

    Found some pic's

    Anything under 70 degrees is arctic as far as I'm concerned, and I don't like it. I can deal with being sweaty by twisting the throttle on the Harley a bit more. Cold agitates my disabilities something fierce, and only being not winter cures it.

    Found some pic's

    I'd move to Florida and deal with 100 degree and 100% humidity most of the year in a heartbeat. I hate winter, and all it entails when I live in a place that has winter. VA does, and wife wants to retire back to MO. Something about loving the grandkids and kids or something like that. I wasn't...

    Sprayer

    I had the same idea about shut off valves, but since the first application of 2-D-4 took care of the buttercups, I won't be needing the sprayer unless the wife decides to buy grass fertilizer. I'll deal with it then, or not.

    I so have SSQA, but if I tell her I need a different bucket, it won't go well for me. I'll just tell her that a rake will not work. I'm very semi-skilled, emphasis on the semi.

    Whole property is 1.5 acres with a house, garage, 2 other buildings, and some yard I'd guess pasture is 3/4 acre and 1 horse. She wants to have 1 pile so it will turn to dirt to use in the future, so a harrow is not the answer, though it wouldn't hurt to run one through there a couple times a year.

    Sprayer

    I have the one wIth the folding boom, and I guess smaller pump. Lots of trees in half the pasture, and the boom is a pain in there sometimes

    So, as my personal tractor advisory team, I am tasking you to help me spend some money. Wife was playing director today, and we picked up and moved most of the horse manure that has been laying around in the pasture into 1 big pile. That turned into a conversation how I don't know what I'm doing...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Hit 20 hours while mowing, then figured out no matter how much water you use, it's not possible to get the MMM deck clean while it's on the tractor.

    SGC1060 OR WICKED 55

    When I finally get one, I'll get the LP, because I can get it in a 48 with SSQA. I'd have to go to a 55 with EA, and it is significantly heavier, which is very important on the BX. The LP unit is only 24 pounds heavier than the standard bucket.

    Best QC Hydraulic Fittings

    I have no idea about your question, but I wanted to ask you about your setup. My factory QC's for the loader always have a moist area, with no obvious damage or debris as well. Did you use the factory kits to install 3rd function and remotes? I want to do that to my BX if possible, for a...

    lawn question

    My place is 1.5 acres total, including the house, detached garaged, 3 other outbuildings, and the house. I can 2-4-D my place with a tractor supply sprayer with 20 gallons water, 2.5 ounces 2-4-D per gallon. Could probably have done 2 ounces. Had buttercups for days, 1 application, everything...

    Land Pride Quick Hitches

    Everything I've read says it will fit. For now, I am just dealing with the stupid turnbuckles, may order the ebay set that are way easier, I can't wait a year to get Hodge ones. I mean, I could, but I am not going to. There is no rural king within hundreds of miles of me to get a Speedco, so I'd...

    Land Pride Quick Hitches

    Called my dealer to ask about QH's. He informed me only the QH05 will fit on my BX. I educated him about adapter bushings, and that LP website says the 5, 10 and 15 match to the BX. I don't think the sales guy is a tractor guy. Anyway, I think I'm passing on a QH, at least a land pride. $225 for...

    What's cookin' boys?

    Only 84 here, with 4000% humidity. Teleworking in the A/C all day, didn't get a chance to get tuckered out. I have some light tractor work to do, but it'll be there when I get around to it.
