    New phone suggestions?

    We're on Consumer Cellular which uses the AT&T network. We have the AARP plan for $55/month. Includes 50 GB of high speed data. Work issued me 3 Apple iPhones over the years. Two of them didn't make it through their warranty periods so I've actually had 5 iPhones. My daughter had 3 that didn't...

    Simple Carry All

    Looks good to me! I have a dump trailer on mine. SWMBO insisted on that. I thought a carry all would be more practical; easier to load and unload sacks of mulch, fertilizer, etc. Maybe later. The dump trailer is better for hauling brush.

    Engine RPM's while mowing?

    WOT = Wide Open Throttle? AKA, Full Throttle? PTO 540 on my BX2380 is 3100 - 3200 RPM on the tachometer. The tachometer shows up to 4000 RPM but I've never tried to find the fastest the engine will rev. I was just wondering what you guys do.and should I do it differently. Lawn looks good.

    New phone suggestions?

    Had my pixel 3a for 4 years this month. Last security update was over 2 years ago. It's time to look for a new one before this one craps out. Want a simple phone with talk, text, and Wi-Fi hotspot. Any hidden gems you recommend? Thanks.

    Engine RPM's while mowing?

    The Kubota Rotary Mower Operator's Manual states "Keep the engine at full throttle for best results." Really? I kept the engine running in the PTO 540 range while using my mower for the first time yesterday. Should I run the engine faster? Is it safe to run the engine at full throttle?

    Problem attaching front of mowing deck to BX2380.

    Never mind. Kubota was too generous with their paint. Several solid taps with a rubber mallet put things together properly. Thanks!

    Problem attaching front of mowing deck to BX2380.

    When the BX2380 was delivered years ago the mowing deck was attached and I removed it. The ZTR mower broke and we're waiting for a part so I'm attaching the mowing deck. I've got it attached but the front bracket with the lever and the pin has an issue. The pin only partially engages. The cross...

    BX2380 mower deck drive shaft.problem.

    While attaching my mower deck I slid the 2 parts of the PTO shaft apart and can't get the male splines.to slide into the female part. Is there a trick to it? I have no problem when this happens on my old Ford mower. I'm feeling really stupid right now please be kind!..:D

    BX2380 Use

    We had some bad winds a couple of weeks ago. Broke the top 15 feet out of a poplar tree in our yard. I didn't even need to cut it up. I just chained the end to the bx2380 and dragged it to the brush pile 200 yards behind the house. The Kubota didn't hesitate. Wonderful machine!

    BX2380 Use

    Just gotta say that I bought a BX2380 new several years ago and don't know what I'd do without it. Now that I'm retired I often use it several times a day. I need to make some add-ons to make it even more convenient. Anyway, I just felt like sharing.

    Post hole auger questions for a BX2380.

    I want to plant some small trees. Would a post hole auger be good for this? I'm thinking about a 6" but maybe an 8" would be a better size. Will a BX2380 power an 8" auger? Thanks!

    That steel plate on the front of my BX2380 frame is just begging for a tool box.

    Any ideas on a tool box and how to attach it without interfering with raising the hood?

    What if there were no swear words

    Young Sheldon Cooper, "Cheese and crackers!!!" W. C. Fields, "Godfrey Daniel, Mother of Pearl!!!" We'd just say something that sounded like cussing.

    Looking for wrench set recommendations.

    Thanks guys! MAC would be really nice but Harbor Freight would fit my budget better. Maybe I can make up some stickers with MAC written on them and then dream. :D Thanks again!
