I reckon if I put 1,000# out front in the FEL instead of 800#, that's another 300# I need out back to balance the load (because the weight bucket isn't as far from the front axle as the FEL bucket), and that additional 500# uses the front axle as a balance point, so that's an additional 500# the...

After lifting logs this weekend I'm not going to increase the lift capacity...too dangerous; I don't want to roll the tractor or twist the FEL.

That's all possible, right now it's 16F in Wisconsin and I just spent the weekend putting snow chains on the tractor, putting away the summer implements, and putting the blower, plow, and FEL up front, so it might take a while before I make a harness and install it, we'll see. Here's a link to...

That's a great point, as resistant to learning "one more subject" as I've been, hydraulics should be one I learn. I'm looking into taking a course on the subject because tribal knowledge is relatively hard to get--and more to the point I'm slow to understand it. Calculated is 35% more weight...

I've not heard anyone look at the size of the pump and then offer an opinion regarding output pressure. I'm no expert, but when I saw the size of pump on the BX...to me it seems Kubota looked at the tractor footprint, figured the maximum safe lifting capacity, and sized the pump to that. The BX...

Why is your cat so Orange? Get it from the Kubota dealer? o_O

I've found no one thing works all the time. Out of nowhere mice invaded my land, dug in, ruined "a lot of stuff," pooped and peed "everywhere," and really, really cheezed me off. When their numbers kept increasing and there was no end in sight I finally decided this is a war and declared them...

I'm new to "tractors" and own the smallest of the small, so in that respect am not the guy to ask. The best I can do is share what I've gathered and hope members with more experience speak up. For "like brand new," under 150 hours is where I've seen them, and under 200 hours can be "darn...

There are posts about the Work Light Plug being a singular 3-wire plug, apparently they're sometimes bullet connectors. https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/what-did-you-do-to-or-on-your-kubota-today.6326/post-755498...

"It depends." If there are "a lot of implements" with fresh oil in them or a few implements that hold "a lot of fresh oil" they dilute the tractor's "used oil" with fresh oil, extending the life of the oil. Changing the tractor oil keeps the sum total of oil "reasonably average." Oil is the...

Remember the driveline has to be "too short" at minimum length; the front of the driveline slips on first and then the rear has to clear the tractor PTO shaft so the driveline can extend and slide over the PTO shaft and be locked in.

@CAPT Seabee : That's a really nice & smart setup. @Munsey : Perhaps look into the Used market, I've seen some ~130 hour (or less) tractors in mint condition sell for very attractive prices. That way you can buy big, do the work you need (plus manage the unforseen things that always seem to...

On the BX I'm pulling power from the Work Light "plug" (bullet connectors in my case) because there's not much room on a BX to add another fuse box and the Work Light circuit from the factory is already fused (although in my opinion the wiring is a bit undersized for the current the circuit is...

Judging by the -one- video I saw of moving the tractor, anything more than a garden hose should be fine. (It's possible things changed since then and the engine is putting out more torque, that part I'm unaware of.) This job isn't a Thai long-tail boat, it's a street repair (where anything can...

I'll use 1/2" drive on smaller stuff, but also have 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" drive torque wrenches, and torque sticks for the impact gun (which i qualified with a torque wrench). For me it's usually handy to grab one rachet and one set of sockets, though that depends on what I'm taking...

I just ordered a switch to do the same. If I lean to the left while hooking up a front implement all sorts of regulations kick in. :ROFLMAO: It is annoying. When I'm mowing and lean over to grab something the "safety" shuts down the machine. If I'm hooking something up and need to move the...

I'm inclined to agree with @TheOldHokie, with hydraulics it's best to do it simple and right the first time to reduce current and future expense, and more importantly leaks. It's already tight in that area, going back in to fix a leaking "something" isn't going to be fun. I'm new to tractor...

:ROFLMAO:

Why are ratchets square drive and bolts hex head? Seem a little strange to you?

That's a nice Lamborghini interior, though I'm not sure if putting lights in the front visor area shining into the operator's eyes are a good thing but it does make the back of the cab look nice...however it seems AI isn't smart enough to put the beacons above the top of the work lite rack...
