I've owned a few of these and absolutely hated them all. The problem is, manhandling the hoses are even worse. A relative recently showed me this super premium one, and it he loves it. But I'm not sure I am ready to part with $300 plus tax for a hose reel. Any one own one of these who thinks...

I'd you don't want to have to fix this periodically, go to your nearest hardware store and buy a nylock nut (the one with the plastic bushing in it) and replace the bottom all metal hex nut with the nylock one and you'll be set for good.

Henro, mine is VERY tight on my BX1880 with the 48" deck. The brackets seem to be dead center on the arms, it's just the tolerance is super small. If the deck isnt perfectly positioned, it's near impossible to get them on. During my last service, I asked the tech about it. He ground down the...

Love it. That's a great idea.

I will second the use of the fluid film. Doesn't make it pretty, but it prevents the rust for sure. Side benefit, it lessens the snow from sticking as well. I get 3 pack spray cans from Amazon at decent price.

I have the 1880, 48 in deck and front snow blower. It does a great job at most everything. If I had to do it again, would get the 2380, for the extra HP when blowing snow. It's not enough of a problem that I would trade it in, but in heavy snow which it had a little more power. Also I would get...

In a pinch you can put some thing down like a piece of wood and shim it level; works but it's not fun.

Very good questions being asked. I have the 1880 and 48" deck. I'm generally happy with it. If I was choosing again, would get the 2380 and the 54" deck. It's actually easier to get closer to things with the larger deck as it sticks out further from the frame of the tractor.

Wow that is bizarre. Wonder if holes drilled incorrectly? I'll try to take a measurement for you over this weekend, I have same blower. If holes are in same place, and it's shoes, mauve you can just get a new set from dealer to swap.

I use Howe's. The low amount in summer, the high amount in winter. The techs at my dealer all swear by it as well.

Also when it's on those brackets, the arms are a bunch lower; should make it easier to get a static load on there like ballast.

I had mentioned this in earlier post but didn't get a chance to take a picture until today. On the BX, here is want the brackets look like that are installed with the grass catcher. You can see them to left and right of the 3 point arms. These things are seriously thick. I can't see why you...

Yes, the coil of relay draws power, in the range you are observing. You need a switch (aka the ignition for example) so the relay is disconnected. If you want to be able to turn the lights on without the ignition on, you can do this but same rule applies. Wire the switch to turn on the relay...

One other thing to consider: whether or not you want to be able to have the lights on with the ignition off. The wiring harness on the back of my BX is only powered when the ignition is on. I wanted my light bar to be able to work if I got stuck or stalled, or if I was doing night work and I...

Not sure how close this is for a B series, but the BX 80 series looks like this. It hangs off the front subframe. A long drive shaft connects to the mid PTO. It's fairly heavy. Hydraulics are for lifting. The implement itself could have hydraulics for what ever motion it needs.

I can't remember who posted it, but, there was a picture of the 3pt secured with chains. There are brackets you can get from kubota as well (some came with the grass collector) which are specifically designed to hook the top of the 3point arms which makes them a fixed position. If your are going...

I have 2018 BX 1880. Not sure if there would be different design w.r.t HST fan protection between the two, but, mine has a metal guard BELOW the fan. It certainly cuts down the angles which something could poke in there. But it doesn't completely protect it. It's not like a cage around the fan...

Looks like a beast, enjoy! Just curious, what is the round thing attached to it on the right side opposite the chute?

this thread gets me to thinking, the stories of what got damaged BY the tractor are probably going to be more entertaining than damage TO the tractor!

Havent bent mine (yet) but I caught myself taking off the loader the other day not paying close attention had the bucket curled too far. As chim says it's not supposed to support the weight of the tractor make sure you dump the bucket enough so the stand isn't on the ground when you raise the...
