    Kubota’s dirty little secret!

    Perhaps a bit off topic but has anyone used the 3 pt hitch to SSQA adapters that are available? Unless I am misunderstanding something, seems like it would be possible to use my SSQA compatible FEL bucket or pallet forks on the rear 3 pt hitch when my front end has the sub frame and snowblower...

    Can I Attach a Bolt-On Cutting Edge To This BX Series Bucket (Newbie Question)

    Agree with rec for Piranha bar (come in toothed or straight edge configuration) from Bxpanded. I have one of each, Easy to install by drilling 2 holes, one on each side of bucket. Solid construction, prompt shipment. Good luck.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Loving the new tractor. Topped off, leveled and compacted a pad for my lean-to addition to the barn. Newly installed Piranha bar on the bucket works wonders on the frozen 3/4 ledge stone. Hoping to lay down PT sill beams next day or two before snow flies again this coming weekend.

    Recs on ballast

    Thanks for the Messick's table. Much appreciated. My tires are 17.5 x24 so about 900lbs for the pair of loaded tires. Loader/ forks lift about 2000 lbs. So for balance, if I am understanding everyone's advice properly, I need to add about 800-1100 lbs of rear ballast if filling loader/forks to...

    Recs on ballast

    Thanks RC. Yes on the being prepared to drop load. Learned that on my BX and that was what I did to stabilize situation. Was just surprised that it happened. I had grabbed load in center. Given leftward tilt of hill, I re-grabbed load left of center to shift weight to right and that did the...

    Recs on ballast

    Thanks guys. Terrain is fully wooded except for driveway with steep inclines. Not much room to maneuver yet but will be starting to clear future homesite at top of hill once ground freezes solid. Still too many days above freezing... muddy mess. Merry Xmas!

    Recs on ballast

    Thanks for the thoughtful words. The tricycle analogy makes your point crystal clear.. I got comfortable with my first tractor (Bx25). The L6060 is a different beast and I have much to learn. I do have a cab and wear my seat belt EVERY time I move it. This forum is a wealth of information and I...

    Recs on ballast

    Thanks all for advice and tips. I did order a 3 pt Cat 2 Homestead Pinnacle receiver hitch with multiple hitch points. It has lateral receiver hitches as well that would accept square tubing for a DIY carry all or forks. I'm finding that there are countless attachment/implement combinations...
