    Homemade land plane

    Got the backhoe off and mounted the quick hitch, and land plane to clean up the driveway and private road before it starts to freeze. That white stuff is coming! I copied a buddy's land plane, about $260.00 worth of metal and Kubota Orange paint. Saved me over $1,000 over one from the tractor...

    What did you do to your Implement today

    Got to play with my home made land plane, graded out my driveway and neighbors, then our private road, that's about 3/8's of a mile. Came out great and works fantastic for a couple hundred bucks worth of metal and Kubota orange paint Gotta love cell phone sideways pics

    After market floor mats ?

    Gotta throw a vote for the Husky liners, have them in every vehicle and the little nubby teeth hold them in place well in cars and trucks. The colors actually match with my interiors well too . We are an all Ford family

    Grill Guard and Front Mount Snow Blower

    I have the quick hitch with my snow blade,( same as snow blower) and it mounts to the frame with adjustable clamps where the grill guard would mount. Yes it's almost impossible to get under the hood and do an oil change with the guard in place. It's only 4 bolts, so I will now always put it...

    Just completed my "Product Experience" survey

    The only "issue" I have had with my BX is the swivel seat bolt coming loose ( a couple times) so I installed a nylock, more than a month later a recall letter came out to take them in for the double nut treatment. When I had the dealer install the 3rd function kit, QD front, and Land Pride...

    Popped a rear tire today

    Lube up the hole and install a few. I've done temporary fixes on my Bronco sidewall, of 8 plugs ( severe sidewall damage) and it got me out of the woods.

    Just completed my "Product Experience" survey

    I guess these go out from Corporate after 2 years of new Kubota ownership. I must admit, I really love the quality and performance of my BX25DLB-R-1, but the local dealership ( the same people own the 3 most local) has some of the crappiest customer service, parts, and service department I have...

    Getting tractor. Need trailer help.

    A 7K trailer will be enough capacity wise, for 4600 lbs, if you can afford it go heavier. but there's lots more to think about. Trailer brakes on one axle is a must, both is much better. Pay a little extra and get GOOD tires on your trailer. Most trailers come with light load range C tires...

    Attachment dolly's

    Once you get your pole building up and some concrete in the floors you will really appreciate the maneuverability of having casters under them.

    Felling Ponderosa Pine Help

    One thing I've done while clearing jumbled trees in Alaska is get some heavy rope or 10K automobile ratchet straps and get on a ladder up high in two close trees. I created pressure high above where I was going to cut, in the direction I wanted it to fall, and use wedges and cuts to fall it in...

    Skid Plate for a BX25D

    Either way you go, or you can custom fab your own, butt the extra protection is well worth it! I do like the way it attaches to the MMM pins for easy and quick removal. The first time you get off your tractor, and see you are dragging half a. tree from your undercarriage you will be glad you...

    Backhoe dolly

    They advertise 1,000 lbs per dolly, I use two on each, for the hoe and loader. They roll really easy on concrete. It's great for moving from side to side in the shop

    Backhoe dolly

    I picked up a couple of the HF movers Dolly's, measured the footprint of my Hoe with the stiff legs up, attached a couple 2x4's to the Dolly's than put plywood on the 2x4's. Kinda a T or Y shape. Remember to strap the legs once there up, as they will come down in a couple days. The nice thing on...

    Harbor Freight 3 point quick hitch

    For $79.00 with the coupon, it's a great deal. Yes, the top is slightly short, it works great on everything except the post hole digger, which will always be a pain!

    Build me a ripppper

    Shall I show you a picture of my Ford Focus hooked to a 30' Weekend Warrior toy hauler triple axle trailer? I used to park it on the street before a trip, take my Diesel to work, and back the Focus under it with an 8' lift hitch, ( of course no weight on it) When I lived in the city, you...

    Front snow blade and rear ballast

    I find I can push snow with my adjustable blade much better without the backhoe or anything else on back.

    Glad I bought a BX

    My neighbor has a TYM, because as he put it, "you get a lot more tractor for your money" ......... Well NO, I disagree. He got a larger tractor, with a couple more horsepower than my BX, but he has had major electrical issues, twice. The hydro line routing is terrible, and he has already ripped...

    4WD when digging?

    Do you have a truck with a winch or a chain? If the stump rocks, put a little pressure on it with the weight of the truck, it should show you which roots are still attached, a hand axe will mske short work of what's left
