    Hello everybody ! Hope you all have a great Friday ! :) Just wondering what is the maximum Wattage of those LED light bars many install on their ROPS should be... I've seen a few videos on YouTube but many of them don't mention the Watts. How is that calculated ? etc... I remember seeing a...

    Skid Plate For Subcompact Kubota Tractor ( BX2380 ) - Driving Through Snow

    Hi everyone, Hopefully a good question..... New BX2380 arriving soon, hopefully in a few weeks. I ordered the tractor with no lawn mower attachment, so the bottom will be exposed. I am wondering if I'm being too paranoid about driving in say a foot of snow on the driveway, from time to time...

    Add-On LED lights. Are Relays No Longer Needed On Tractors like the BX2380 ?

    Hi NHSleddog, I've been watching quite a few videos today on YouTube and am learning lots. None of them showed anything like the plug you have on that relay. That's really nice and tidy looking. I noticed you have something also there hooked up, it shows the voltage and also the outside temp ...

    Hi 85Hokie, thanks for your input. With all the info / warnings on the channel, I won't be adding anything without protection ie a relay. Now to educate myself on exactly they do, how they work etc.... a subject to learn about !

    Add-On LED lights. Are Relays No Longer Needed On Tractors like the BX2380 ?

    Thank you for that info. Thank you to all that replied. I opened up YouTube and am watching a video now on relays, and will watch a bunch of them this week. I am sure I am not alone with no education about relays. I really have no clue what they are / what they do but with the input here, am...

    New blower

    Wow what a beast of a blower. I bet that thing is in the 10K range. Wow. I really hope you post some videos on YouTube that we can watch later in the season when the snow arrives. What is that "water bottle" on the top of your blower ? I've seen that before.... not sure what it is. Anyway...

    Add-On LED lights. Are Relays No Longer Needed On Tractors like the BX2380 ?

    Hi everyone, I know that there is power at the rear of all new subcompact tractors these days, but my question is with the relays I see some using in YouTube videos... when they are doing a new LED light add-on. I've seen a few videos where it's a simple ( no relay ) but - I've seen some...

    Glow Plugs - How Long Do You Keep Them "ON" Before Cranking The Engine ?

    Wow, so glad I asked this question, it's like a snowball, I started it off, and now so many replies. I had NO idea that you could start a warm engine without even using the glow plugs. If a warm day in the summer, really no need either. The things you learn on this forum. I'm so thankful I...

    Glow Plugs - How Long Do You Keep Them "ON" Before Cranking The Engine ?

    Hi everyone ! I've been watching a lot of YouTube Kubota videos lately, and notice how some guys will turn the key to ignite the glow plugs for 1 second or shorter sometimes. In a few Kubota tractor instruction videos, I've seen the instructor / salesman say that those plugs could be / should...

    First Snowfall - Rear Blade Adjustment - how many of you do this ?

    Hi dirtydeed, thanks so much for that info. I guess once I get the back blade I'll fully understand it. I'm glad you can adjust the position kind of what I had in my mind. Thanks for replying !

    How much control do you have on your 3 point hitch on a BX2380 ?

    I everyone, something that is really confusing to me .... it's my understanding that the rear 3 point hitch isn't hydraulic but is hooked into the engine's transmission system on the BX2380. That said, how much control do you have raising and lowering it ? If you have a rear blade attached...

    First Snowfall - Rear Blade Adjustment - how many of you do this ?

    Thanks for your reply and info ! Interesting technique ! I wonder if I can find a YouTube video showing this. So by flipping the blade 180 degrees, that curve is now facing away from the tractor, so as you drive forward the blade won't pick up any snow or rocks, but instead just flattens the...

    Oiling Driveshaft - ( ? ) I'm confused about a video by Good Works Tractors. - help appreciated.

    I enjoy watching this guy's videos, and in this one, he talks about oiling the driveshaft on your tractor. I did a lot of searching and cannot find any info about a Zerk fitting for a driveshaft on a subcompact Kubota ( BX series ) I've linked to exactly where he starts talking about...

    First Snowfall - Rear Blade Adjustment - how many of you do this ?

    Thanks for the reply ! I have a new BX2380 on order. I was under the assumption that you could control the 3 point position *somewhat* , meaning not dropping it all the way down. Is there only a 100% up and 100% down position because it's not a hydraulic based system ? or maybe I...

    First Snowfall - Rear Blade Adjustment - how many of you do this ?

    Hi everyone, Just wondering what your technique is with a first snowfall on a gravel driveway with your rear blade .... do you raise the blade up a tiny bit, say an inch or 2 higher than the surface of the driveway so the blade doesn't scrape up all the gravel ? Would love to hear your...
