    Piranha Toothbar

    I never take the Piranha off of mine either. I'm using the snow blade now, so the whole FEL is off, but it's on the roller dolly with the toothbar intact

    Electric winch controlled grapple on FEL

    I know it's hard to choke down the cost of the 3rd function unit, hoses, Grapple, controls etc, but I got mine installed ( basically free installation no tax) at the dealer for $1,500. It now works flawlessly,( I had to tighten a set of fittings that leaked) has crazy power, and I know it's...

    2015 BX25D Backhoe with 3-Point Hitch

    Here's an old pic of the trimmed down version of the BH dolly. I used one large and one small dolly to keep the footprint as trim as possible You can somewhat see the tie down strap across the two stiff leg pads to hold them up and in place. You won't need extension hoses, the stock ones are...

    2015 BX25D Backhoe with 3-Point Hitch

    It's just a learning curve, you can watch videos, or someone else do it, once you get it done, it sticks. A very inexpensive way to make a dolly is with one or two( I use two for balance) movers Dolly's, and a piece of plywood, and or 2x4's. I had scrap wood, and went to Harbor Freight and...

    2015 BX25D Backhoe with 3-Point Hitch

    You need to remove one to do the other. It's confusing the first time, but after that you can do it in half an hour easy Do you have a roller cart for the backhoe? Remember to put a strap between the stiff legs once it's off and stored, as they will come down. Something else to think about, if...

    Let it snow!

    It's a skating rink here, I keep a bag of sand and a cup by the side door for when I head to the shop. The snow has settled down to about 3', and there's some gravel showing thru in the turnaround of the driveway. I'm ready for a real thaw.

    WHats the word for Ca,,, damdamdam

    Kinda makes you wonder why in the heck you would build a town, in the low place, Under a dam and spillway! Cheap land, and the "it will never happen to me" attitude.

    WHats the word for Ca,,, damdamdam

    I just came home thru that mess yesterday. We went down for my Dad's birthday. They have a vacation place in Lodi, just south of all that mess. Interstate 5, and 99 that are the two California N/S highways that connect the areas. We took off at 1am so we could get home the same day, and they had...

    The little 1860 pushing through 16" of snow VIDEO

    My snow blade has worked just fine the last two years, but this year would have been nice to have the blower. I'm quickly running out of room to push snow! My driveway walls are 3' tall and growing! Something on my list to add for implements.

    Buying a tractor?

    I'm on 5 acres in a very wooded area, I needed the backhoe for building and stump removal. I purchased a BX over 2 years ago and still love it. With a few accessories, rake, land plane, post hole digger, Grapple, I have been able to transform the place and it's halfway where it needs to be. I...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Re: What did you do on the Kubota today? Plowed the few inches of snow down as low as possible yesterday, as were getting rain now and it's gonna get sloppy. Getting up to 44 today with 100% rain. I know it's snowing like crazy 20 miles North, and they are buried.

    Let it snow!

    Just spent a few hours plowing out my 3/8 mile long driveway, and around the house. Over 12" in some places, my poor little BX with the snow blade did an admirable job. I'm still amazed what this little tractor is capable of.
