    BX2680 50 hour service challenges

    They did drop easily, it was just that they didn't drop far enough. I think I had it set to the lowest setting, but the deck was still about 1/2 lower, so I had to pick up each side. I think if I pin the casters on the top holes, I'd have enough height, and I'll make sure about the adjusting...

    BX2680 50 hour service challenges

    I may try this next time I pull the deck off to clean it. There were pine cones, dirt, leaves, and branches stuck under the gearbox. I actually had to lift each side of the deck to hook the rear linkage back up, I may drop the gauge wheels so it holds the deck higher next time.

    BX2680 50 hour service challenges

    I'm a bit over 47 hours, and didn't want to wait, so off I went to do the 50 hour service. I think I spent about $150 on filters and S-UDT. First challenge. The "specialist" at my dealer wouldn't accept that my owner's manual says change transmission fluid at 50 hours. So I ordered Super UDT...

    Fimco 40 gallon 3 point sprayer video!

    I have the same Fimco. Use it on a BX2680, takes around 2.5 hours to spray the pasture and both yards, no issues with the battery so far. Only problem is the thing holds way too much for our property, and we end up with a lot of leftover mix we have to figure out how to use or dump in the...

    I have a BX, so it has a hydraulic filter and a hydraulic screen. I can't say that yours is the same, but this video is the 50 hour service on your model.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I put on this seat cover I got from Amazon. No instructions, took about 5 minutes to figure out.

    What to include in BX2680 order

    I bought the Land Pride PFL1242. They work for everything I have used them for so far. I have SSQA and I can pick up a 4x8 round bale a couple inches, enough to move it into the pasture from where my hay guy drops it in the driveway. If you wind up finding something lighter, SSQA forks are...

    Getting started welding

    When I was stationed in Missouri, the local high school shop teacher taught adults welding courses after school, like 6 -8 pm for 5 days. I think he charged $250 per student, and all funds went to buy supplies for his shop class students. Started with stick for 2 days, mig for a day, and 2 days...

    Do I want a pine needle rake or a landscape rake? The answer is yes....but I can only get one

    I got the replacement A Frame today. It's several inches too short, and the top holes won't fit a CAT 1 pin. Pretty sure they sent me the CAT 0 A Frame from their 4 foot rake. This is starting to tick me off. Ordered this on Jan 24, have gotten 3 shipments from them, and still cannot use the rake.

    Why do you use a toothbar?

    I bought mine because I have an old pile of dirt in the pasture with a pine tree growing out of it. I wanted it to cease existing. I didn't expect super hard dirt to be found in coastal VA, when I am like a mile from the river and 5 from the bay. Well, the Piranha helped, but I have spent a...

    TICKED at the dealer...... I paid $5000 for a FEL and they didnt add any hydraulic fluid

    I haven't checked anything but the fuel level on mine, but I'm only at 40 hours. I have greased it once. I reckon I should check it more, maybe I'll start after I do the 50 hour service.

    THE PULITZER COLONOSCOPY

    I peed blood for about a week when I had this done. I did get a piece of paper that says I don't have cancer, so that was cool. No colonoscopy for me yet. My wife is pushing me to get one, but I'm in no rush.

    Hydraulic Cylender Rebuild

    The correct tool is a spanner wrench, but in my garage, the correct tool is the one that works. I've done a few hundred cylinder rebuilds on Hyster and JD Fork trucks over the years, and almost always used a pipe wrench, nothing I've worked on ever had a nut on top, that would have made for less...

    A Couple Of New Friends!

    Nice. Enjoy! I am not sure what a drift wall is, we don't have any of those here on the East Coast of VA, but glad you can push 'em back out of the way.

    Do I want a pine needle rake or a landscape rake? The answer is yes....but I can only get one

    Thank you! I totally see that now. They should have sent me 2, with wheels, so I could have sold them to make up for this frustration. haha Hopefully they'll get it right since I sent them their own parts breakdown, but I was pretty sure I explained it exactly right to them the first time.
