    Kubota L3560 and Grand L 60 Series Winter Front Covers Now Available

    I stopped into on of our local Kubota dealers to show them these covers and check the fit on a couple of Kubota's new models. @CdnSldr.ret pics above show the fit better than the ones I took of the dealer's Kubota L6060, as the loader hides alot of the view: Here's a sparkling new Kubota...

    Kubota L3560 and Grand L 60 Series Winter Front Covers Now Available

    Now THAT's a snow moving machine & setup!! :) Those "tractor tuxedo" covers look great on your rig, too!! Did you notice an increase in your cab heater output when using the covers in those colder temps? There's nothing like moving snow in a toasty warm cab in extremely cold outdoor temps...

    Removing Tie Rods on BX1880

    I purchassed some aftermarket boot kits for my brother's BX. They were nice quality and I haven't heard of any issues with them, yet. He's out of state, so I wasn't around for the insallation. We found those kits on ebay. I believe other members here have used them as well.

    Woodland Mills 3pt Stumpgrinder: review

    My experience with the WG24 is the same as @dirtydeed above. Exact same tractor as well.....B2650. There's a little "learning curve", but after a few stumps ground, you find out what your particular tractor likes for feed rate, depth of cut depending on tree stump, etc. I've played with...

    Daily Chuckle

    The talk of deep-frying turkeys reminded me of this true story: Years ago, we’d have a get together on New Year’s Day at my shop for our RC airplane club. A buddy (and prankster, too) who rented storage from me was an expert with the deep-frying process and would deep fry the turkeys for us...

    LX2610SU Third function comparison and advice.

    I also picked up a Summit 3rd function kit for my B2650, which should be somewhat similar to the replacement LX2610 models. For a look into what it took to install it myself.....see this thread Here. the install was fairly easy when you break it down into the different sections. At the...

    What do you guys think of this old steam tractor?

    I've also seen that steam tractor in person. Albeit not pulling that many ganged plows. It's quite a beast! Kory Anderson built that machine from scratch.....from original factory plans. Lots of Youtube videos on it. You don't realize the size and undertaking until you've stood by the path...

    Cold weather OPEN station snow plowing/blowing.

    In the beginning.....with a JD750 with rear blower....January temps would often dip below -20° F (we don't count wind chill up here :)). So it was mandatory to dress with good snowmobile suit and helmet. That eventually got restricive (the suit shrunk) and like @chim and a few others I built a...

    Leaf blower for 3 pt hitch

    I see the Agrimetal Leaf Blower posted above and in your prior thread Here has jumped up in price to about $5K or thereabouts. Still half of the $10K you're mentioning. And that price spread over the life of the machine makes for a small annual cost. Our local dealer sells these walk behind...

    Leaf blower tractor, 3 pt hitch.

    I couldn't be without my Agrimetal PTO blower to help take care of all the leaves on this farmstead every fall. See post #12 Here. This one has been virtually maintenance free (occasionally greased) for the last 30 +/- years. It's made in Canada, I believe, but sold in the US through a few...

    Wanted BX2750 Chute Rotator

    If you're up for a little fabrication, these surplus DC motors from an auto's electric window/seats can be used for an inexpensive electric chute rotator. Here is one I put together for my brothers older BX tractor with exactly the same snowblower that you have. See post #9945 if the link...

    How long did your battery last?

    I have 8 plus years on my original battery so far. No problems to date. Tractor is garaged when not in use. No battery tender. It starts as good as it always has.

    Tiller Help

    On my old Howard Rotavator, the poor factory welds connecting the main rotor tube to the drive shaft had finally let loose. It had the same symptoms you describe. Here's some pics to show the odd event: Rotor shaft removed from tiller body Poor weld (almost no penetration) allowing the...
