    ROPS lights stopped working...

    Sounds like I have a project for today, thanks for the insight.

    ROPS lights stopped working...

    Not factory, no, I purchased them from (https://www.ropslights.com/) and installed them last winter, using the connector you have referenced, to the left of the 3PH. They worked perfectly fine last winter, spring, summer, and fall (some night work here and there).

    ROPS lights stopped working...

    I also thought that could be the case, I have two sets which are wired individually, and both went out at the same time - I did check where I wired them in at, and don't see anything that looks like a loose wire. I am not an electrician, so I could be overlooking something, but it all passes the...

    ROPS lights stopped working...

    Sorry, I tried searching for this, but couldn't find anything, so if this is redundant, and you can point me in the right direction, please do. I was out snowblowing this morning, everything was working great, lots of light, blower chugging along, then when I went to turn for my next pass, my...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Agreed, thanks for the link, looks pretty simple, I think even my poor attempt at DIY projects could make something like that. Get a couple feet of pipe, cut in half, make holes in the pipe for the casters and a pin in the middle (for stability) and you have yourself a mower deck dolly. I've...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Do tell, what are these axles? I have the 60" deck, which I believe is ~270lbs and a major pain to get up on the scaffold, I'd really like to store it vertically instead, but, aside from the dolly's I've seen, which cost $400 or so, I've not seen a great solution.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Yeah, one I would almost rather pay for, took a few hours, but it does help me get more familiar with everything the tractor is and can do. I also put the BXPanded skid plate back on, which was the easiest of all the things.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Pulled the mower deck off, changed the engine oil (only had 30 hours), pulled the power bagger assembly off, mounted the snowblower (rear), reinstalled the loader, used loader to pick up and clean the mower deck, used loader to get the power bagger onto a rolling pallet, used the loader to lift...

    Best Rear Cat 1 snow blower

    Amazing! Mine wouldn't fit as its a walk in basement and the door is a standard door, luckily I have a separate garage for the tractor and attachments, its just a big footprint.

    Best Rear Cat 1 snow blower

    I have the Land Pride SB1051 - I've only used it this last winter, but it's three years old and looks brand new. It is not fancy, in that its a manual chute rotation and deflection, but it tears through snow, snow banks, and slush (sort of) much better than my walk behind. It's very easy to...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Vacuumed leaves then used the FEL to mix up the grass and leaves to push out into the woods. I don't quite remember who asked, but here are photos of the BXPanded FEL dolly:

    BX23S Sub-Compact FEL 4-in-1 Connector (Maybe others)

    I did this once, and it was fine taking off, but a major pain to get back on, given the pressure remained in the loader lines. Have since turned off and moved joystick to all positions before disconnecting, MUCH easier on the reinstall.

    Anyone try these (BX tractor upgrade)?

    Sometimes I really hate the internet... ask for real world examples of something working, and get folks trying to be internet trolls... Seems I have pissed off the orange tractor gods for asking about these... I will reframe from asking questions about the BX given it's only a glorified lawn...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I recorded 86°F on my front porch today, crazy.. and likely gonna see snow on Wednesday. I "vacuumed" more leaves with the powered bagger, made short work of cleaning up the lawn again - BX also stayed in summer mode while I swapped to winter mode on the Ryobi riding mower.

    Anyone try these (BX tractor upgrade)?

    I'm quite happy with the BX actually, and I wasn't looking to lift 1,000 lbs, I think the actual lift weight is somewhere around 500 lbs, I have only had issues when trying to dig from a pile, which is where it'd be nice if it could do slightly more, but not a deal breaker for me. The additional...

    Anyone try these (BX tractor upgrade)?

    Curious if you could post some links, and provide a bit more details? I am very curious to see your method in action, as well as the product these guys are selling. I understand the safety risks, but I would like both more lift height and more capacity, but understand combining the two at the...

    Anyone try these (BX tractor upgrade)?

    I've looked online, but not seeing any actual reviews of how well these things work. One video shows the extra 12" of height and another shows some dude with their "beta" version, but nothing showing how they work in the real world. Seems like a massive upgrade for us BX folks...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Yes, please keep the snow in your neck of the woods. I lived in Missoula for a couple of years, where are you that you're seeing snow this early?

    Winter is coming!

    Thanks for the replies around how to know when the stations are swapping over. I just topped the tractor off, maybe have one gallon of diesel left, so hopefully the next trip to the station yields a winter blend. We actually have very few stations in Maine that carry diesel, and the local one...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    At the moment the FEL is off the tractor and sitting on the dolly - once we're done with leaf collection season, I'll resinstall the FEL, so won't have a pic of the dolly itself for another few weeks. I'm happy to grab a few pics of it with the FEL onboard, if you'd like? On topic, the BX did...
