    Some thought on social media

    "Big Tobacco, Big Auto, and Big Social all share something in common: at the center of their business model is an ingredient that is severely detrimental to the world. Big Tobacco relies on nicotine, Big Auto relies on fossil fuels, and Big Social relies on user attention to generate revenue...

    What to do with an extra BX bucket?

    Mount a semicircular pipe out front, so crumbs end up in the bucket and used for cutting or cleaning ditches.

    Got to take my roof off.... again

    Maybe you need to build some kind of apparatus to hang from the roof trusses to hold the top while you work. A couple of anchors, a couple of pulleys, and some rope! Better then falling off of a ladder.

    I goofed

    I agree with Magicman. That opening is what.... an inch in diameter? And it's location, isn't it in the back behind the seat and you need a funnel to get fluid in it. Go use the tractor for some hard work for an hour and the moisture will be evaporated.

    IBC container uses?

    Skeets, I just used a couple of hinges about 6" long and 1" wide (where they hinged) and used metal screws to attach them to the metal tubing I cut to get the "lid" off!

    What shoul my next attachments be?

    You're in Louisiana. Get a grapple so you can have jobs cleaning up after storm damage! Those jobs will get you more jobs for the grapple, just by referral when they see what you can do so quickly without manual labor.

    IBC container uses?

    I use the container to store large bags of protein pellets. I laid the tore on the side and cut the piece (that is now the top) off. Uses small sheet metal screws to attach the plastic back to the square tubing, then attached two hinges so that piece would lift up. Keeps possums, coons and...

    Source for small debris forks?

    Bill, here are pictures of a rake I made about 25 years ago. It was all misc. metal I had laying around. The tines were the bars from a weight set. I had a 2" ball on the top of the bucket on my B8200 and use it to move trailers. I simply welded the load binder to the backside of the rake...

    BX2680 Bent loader

    You have one of the mount plates out of time. You can use your hydraulics and a chain to it back in the correct position. What usually causes the problem is one of the pins is not parked in the over center position or something kicks it up and the operator does not notice it. Then the...

    Understanding the West coast fires

    Oh Bearbait there will be more! California is planning to eliminate gas powered vehicles by 2035. This is their solution to global warming and the fires. I'm not understanding how the fire fighting equipment will get power when on a fire range, or the govt. shut down the grid...

    A rant

    Well Skeets, past political authorities made it so less taxes (and greater profits) could be accomplished by production of items in other countries. So we get foreign made goods and less jobs here!

    Tractor won't start after adding fuel

    Late '80's- early '90's diesel engines (like the B6200 in this thread) were very forging engines. Volkswagen even had in the owner's manual for their diesels it's winter start could be aided with up a 10% mixture of gasoline. I had an '83 Nisan Maxima diesel. I mistakenly filled it with...

    Tractor won't start after adding fuel

    Fortunately you have an older style diesel engine and is not damaged by a bit of gas, even if it started. Since it did not start you'll be fine. As mentioned drain all the liquid in the DIESEL tank, and install a new fuel filter (which you need to get at a Kubota dealer). Fill with clean fuel...
