    Mower Blades

    They needed replacement about 300 hours ago. You must be in a sandy area?

    L6060 Front PTO Direction of Rotation

    Can someone tell me if the front PTO spins CW or CCW when looking at the tractor from the front? I'm thinking of trying to modify a Kubota front mount snowblower snowblower to fit a JD.

    FEL on an Orchard or Narrow Tractor

    That M5-111 is a monster, I'm not looking for something that big. It's also in a different country and 2200 miles from me. It's too tall to fit in my heated shop anyway. I see that New Holland makes a model called a T4050 that is fairly short and narrow. I see them with loaders also. It's not...

    FEL on an Orchard or Narrow Tractor

    That would be the perfect tractor, compact with a lot of horsepower. The only problem is they are rare and expensive. They seem to be more common on the other side of the planet.

    FEL on an Orchard or Narrow Tractor

    Has anyone seen a front end loader on an orchard tractor? A narrow tractor would make sense for me, but I need a loader once and a while.

    how much has changed across different BX models

    I'm pretty sure the mower fits from several years back. I just bought a used one for my BX2680 and it was from a tractor that was 4-5 years old. I know the hydraulic couplings for the loader changed lately, I think with the 80 series. I parked my new 2680 next to my brothers five year old...

    Buying A Single Grey Market Tractor From Japan?

    I ended up buying a new bare B2680. All of the sites that were selling grey market tractors had their pricing in USD. By the time I paid shipping duty etc, it would cost me $10,000 CDN for a 25 year old rusty tractor, no hydrostatic or mid PTO, with 1500 hours on it. At least with the B2680, I...

    Buying A Single Grey Market Tractor From Japan?

    Do you have a name for him or a web site? I’m also not seeing too many grey market tractors with hydrostatic transmissions. It’s not a must for me, but I would prefer if it didn’t have gears. it’s difficult to sell a tractor that isn’t hydrostatic. A new BX2380 is looking better all the time.

    Buying A Single Grey Market Tractor From Japan?

    I remember him selling tractors in the 90s. I thought he was just doing parts now?

    Buying A Single Grey Market Tractor From Japan?

    I'm in Canada so I don't think the Canadian Government has cracked down on them. I would like to buy a 25 year old 20 hp Kubota, I like them better than anything new. The problem is they never come up for sale, and if they do, they are priced pretty high. I looked at a BX2380, and will probably...

    Buying A Single Grey Market Tractor From Japan?

    Has anyone tried to buy a single tractor from Japan and get is shipped to Canada? I found a couple of Japanese web sites that look like they can do this and shipping to Vancouver seems reasonable. However the Vancouver to Winnipeg ride doubles the price. There is probably some hidden costs...
