    BX23s and dealer - Underwhelming

    I have had some beefs about my dealer but the delivery event went exceptionally well, especially as I screwed up some paperwork. Sales rep just brought a fix with him and we were done. I very much appreciated that, now even more so given the ops experience.

    Hummers

    Had the same mystery. Bought two feeders they wouldn't touch. Ended up giving them away. They were an unusual design.

    Hummers

    Not the best picture as it's a video extract. Shows a male Anna's "guarding" feeders sitting on a heater I turn on when it's freezing out.

    Hummers

    I guess I am a bit of a hummer freak. We have 8 to 10 feeders up year round. Had about a dozen Anna's winter here this year. Ruffous showed up end of March. They are great fun to watch.

    Warming the spouse up to buying - wasn't prepared for this one!

    You need an unassailable reason to buy it. When we quit travelling south for winter we had to have a way of clearing the driveway of snow to get out. Kubota lives here now.

    BX 25 Very Slow IN Reverse, Forward ok

    Yup - that's it. Had the issue with mine and while getting at the nut is a little finicky it's doable. Wildfire posted a video on the issue (sorry not sure where to find it these days).

    Green Vs Orange

    Looked at a JD before I bought the BX. Dealer seemed a decent sort and we even kind of agreed on a price. BUT he was a small dealer and in our discussions it became clear JD really didn't support the little guy. He seemed bitter. As it turned out I didn't buy (was still unsure on model and size)...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Another Rube Goldberg implement. Looked at rake options to clean up small fir branch windfall and decided an old bed frame and some 6" spikes would work for what I need ( and it does!)

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Thanks. I am hoping this kind of snow fall doesn't become the norm and I have to get a blower!

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    We don't normally get a lot of snow here but this week has been a BIG exception. Gave me an opportunity to try out my version of an edge tamer. I wasn't comfortable leaving the tooth bar on (could do lots of damage in a hurry) but I did take advantage of the toothbar mounting system.

    And this is why fishing is gonna suck this year

    It's those consumed by progressivism that need a reality check but, as is the case with any fundamentalist religion, there is no room for rational discussion.

    Model specific threads?

    When ever I log on I hit the Todays post button to see whats new (as opposed going into each section). I look at the posts of interest and, if needed, search for specifics. Many of the posts I do read have nothing to do with the BX I drive and I learn a lot in the process.

    Piranha

    Well, it's GOOD, but not perfect. I was loading some topsoil today after I finished was headed up the the tractor port (nee carport) when I said to myself "look at those teeth - they're filthy!). So now I have to floss The Kids teeth before bed!

    The thumb is handy if your not going full grapple.

    Dug out a stump to complete the access road to my shed.

    BX25D Hydralic pressure test guage

    Thanks Hokie, that's helpful. I was thinking the supply side of the things would have a different pressure than the return (wrong) - makes more sense to me now. Andy
