Those are sweet!!!!

I almost pulled the trigger on a BXpanded thumb for my B3030/BH75, until I saw this video. I'm glad I went with the Kubota thumb...the thing is solid!!!!!

Hopefully the thumb on the BX will hold up fine for you! I think they just made some "length" adjustments to make the BX thumb fit the B series, and didn't take the added hydro pressures into account.

The BXpanded thumb might be OK on a BX series tractor. I looked at the BXpanded thumb for a B Series tractor, and was just about to pull the trigger until I found this video. I have a B3030 with a BH75 and installed the Kubota manual thumb. I had to fabricate the dipper arm mount because the...

I have a 2006 B3030, and haven't had any electrical issues. Here's the link where I downloaded the Workshop Manual for the 3030. Section 9 is the electrical section which covers everything on the tractor. I've added some LED lights, winch, and did an alternator upgrade. The manual is handy to...

The Equal-i-zer looks very similiar to the Curt which also has the 4P sway control. THANKS!!

THANKS for the reply! I should have asked about the "empty" load being an issue. It crossed my mind, but didn't think of it when I wrote the post. Knowing it won't affect towing a lower weight, I'll go with the 8-10K model.

I bought a tongue weight scale last Thursday which should be arriving by the end of the week. I've watched a number of videos from manufactures on the proper setup for a WDH. I'll first see about getting the load properly positioned to have between 10-15% of the load weight on the tongue, and...

I'm looking to purchase a weight distribution hitch for my trailer to tow my tractor. I purchased a 2024 Rice 7x18 Car Hauler Trailer. I bought the 10K trailer for the beefier brakes and axles, knowing I wouldn't be towing near it's max rating of 9990# I have a 2023 Silverardo 1500 with the...

Sorry for the delay...I just saw your message. So you're looking for the center to center distance between the "Bucket Pin" and the "Thumb Mount Pin"?

I have a B3030 and when the backhoe isn't on, I use a Kubota weight box. I have somewhere between 500-600#s of weight in it. The weight box recommends at least 350# for the BX Series, and 500#s for the B Series. For the B3030 on TractorData.com the suggested rear ballast is 500# when a front...

I have a BH75 backhoe and added the BH1976 thumb. I had to fabricate the pivot point on the arm as you will. I took a lot of measurements of a B3050 with a B76 backhoe at the Kubota dealer. Here's what I ended up doing... Bought an extra pin to fabricate with. Used it to make the bushings, and...

Those little bastards SUCK!!! I had been keeping the tractor in the garage for years, but needed the room, and moved it to a storage container. I was using it regularly, and everything seemed perfectly normal. It was back in the garage for a couple years before doing the alternator upgrade...

I decided to get the "Skis" bolted on before the snow decides to make an appearance. Seems it's always too cold when I put them to get them painted!!! LOL Here's some pics...

Thanks! Being 6" wide, they really work awesome.

I made a pair of "Bucket Skis" a few years back. I used 1/4" x 6" flat stock that I bent on my press so there was a 2" "Ski Tip" on the front and rear. I welded angle onto the outside edge, and drilled a couple 1/2" holes through the sides of the bucket. They get bolted on for the winter. Being...

This would make a much better carry gun than the Taurus...and it's optic ready!!! :p Really...trade up to a SIG P365XL! Most accurate carry gun I own. EDIT...sorry, missed the last post!!! GOOD choice! o_O

I have a B3030 and installed a block heater right after I got it. It's really a "coolant" heater, where the heated coolant warms the block, thus warming oil as well. I've found during winter months with temps in the 20's, after 30-45 mins with the heater plugged in, and an 8 count on the glow...

Glad you were able to get it out. That sucker was pretty chewed up!!!

Built an easily removable frame to support the 12'x25' tarp. Got a good deal on a nice 16mil tarp on Amazon. Should do a good job of keeping the snow and rain off for the winter.
