    Favorite small tractor setup for lawn mowing on a hobby farm?

    Getting ready to sell my 2019 (bought in2020) Bad Boy Maverick with a 54” deck. Beast of a machine but tears the heck out of our sandy soil. Just not a good fit for our property. Going Thursday to sign the papers on a BX 2680 with the 54” deck and fel.

    What type of motor oil?

    And here I thought a CJ 4 was a 1950 Jeep.

    Lest we forget

    Dad New Guinea, Father in Law European Theater, Uncle North Africa, all Army WWII, Uncle S. Pacific Navy WWII. Like the past 25+ years, will be at the 500 to honor them, though all of them we’re lucky and came home, along with all the others that never did make it home. The flyover is never...

    Magnets

    I’m a believer in magnets. First oil change I drill the drain plug and install a magnet in it on all my vehicles. Also put a few high strength nickel sized magnets on the filter housings. K&J magnets have some crazy strong magnets. My observation on the engine oil, after the second oil change...

    B2301 Mice Behind Instrument Panel

    One of our bird feeding stations was next to my pole barn. When I moved that away from the barn, mouse issues dropped significantly. I also put in one of those 5 gallon traps that has a rotating cylinder on top after I moved the bird feeders. The first winter that trap got over a 20 mice, 4 in...

    Lucky Timing or Dumb Luck

    Dang peer pressure. I called and the dealer can add the quick hitch. I went back and forth before I told the dealer I wanted the tractor with pins because the added weight of the adapter takes away from the bucket load capacity but the Orangetractortalk pressure was just too great! Don’t see me...

    Lucky Timing or Dumb Luck

    Decided our current Bad Boy Maverick is not a good choice for our property a few weeks ago and stared looking for a SCUT. It’s a beast but a bad match for our property. Sold the Simplicity in my profile to help fund it. Will sell the 2019 Maverick shortly. Only about 100 hours on it. Of course I...

    Put gas in diesel mower

    Did a quick search and was surprised to not find any standard for fuel container color. Found this. I always thought green was reserved for water. Guess not. https://wavianusa.com/blogs/news/gas-can-color-designations

    Not sure what the best deal is or what model will best suit my needs...

    That slope would be a nice spot for a flower/decorative shrub garden and eliminate the need to mow.

    Zero turn to B series

    We are making the same move now. Have a Bad Boy Maverick, 54” deck. Machine is a beast, but with the amount of trees and hills it just doesn’t fit our property. Having sandy soil, it tears the heck out of the lawn. Just sold the Simplicity we bought new in 2011. Again 54” deck, fel and 3 pt. 27...

    Mantis tiller

    Bought the Echo tiller about 3 seasons ago. Pretty much identical to the Mantis for less $$. It replaced a Craftsman tiller that I abused and overworked for over 20 years before it gave up the ghost. Have a 27” Echo chainsaw that impresses the heck out of me also. Both have made me an Echo fan.

    B2650 Canopy / FOPS

    If you go to the KubotaUSA site and build a tractor similar to yours, one of the options is canopies. You can see what is offered for the current models. All models seem to have 3 offerings and the fiberglass seems to be the less expensive of the options. Will it be a direct fit to your tractor...

    BX2380 needs to hook up 12 volt, 7.0 amp to pull behind sprayer.

    Or add a junction strip, doesn’t need to be this big, so you will be set up for other electrical feeds you may want to ad.
