    Rear blade shoes for next winter

    Hi, I have a gravel driveway (1" gravel) and every winter I end up scraping lots of it while plowing the driveway. I have a 60" read blade and I'm considering getting a pair of skid shoes to put on the blade. I wanted to know if it's worth it. Does it really work at preventing scraping off...

    Should I get this repaired?

    Hi everyone, here are some pictures of steering rod on the left front wheel of my B2601. I think I hit a rock and, as you can see, the protective metal cover got kinked. I pried it back close to its original shape, so I'm not worried about that. But the rubber thing got ripped (probably because...

    Looking for part name

    Hi, I'm starting to build a pair of clamp-on forks for my bucket and I'm looking for the bolt that has a flat pad at the end. Like the one on a C-clamp. What is the name of that? I wanna know where I can buy them but I first need to know what it's called. :) Anyone know what I'm talking about...

    Yet another grill guard post

    This is my first time welding. The weld is not pretty and probably not as strong as it should be. But there's a first time for everything. Next project will be DIY clamp-on bucket forks.

    How to apply paint

    Hi everyone, I'm thinking about adding a mesh on the front guard of my B2601. I was wondering how I would go about painting it after. If I buy the Kubota orange spray paint, can I just paint all over, overlapping over the already painted guard? Or would I need to first sand down the original...

    Oil filters on b2601

    Can someone explain to me why there is a hydraulic filter and a HST filter on the b2601 while there is just 1 oil tank? I don't know much about mechanics and it sounds very strange to me there there are 2 filters for the same oil.

    Work lights confusion on b2601

    I'm a bit confused with what the manual says. It says I have a 5A fuse for the work light circuit and it says that the max is 35w. Shouldn't 5A 12V give me 60W? Unless my math is wrong here? 35W seems unreasonably low. On my BX, I believe the work ligbt circuit was 20A. Another question: I'd...

    new top link for B2601

    I just bent my top link on by brand new B2601. it hasn't been 24h yet :(. I had no idea that operating the 3PH with the ROPS down could do this. But now I know. So I'm looking at buying a replacement. This is the top-link I have...

    I traded my bx23s for a b2301

    I'm surprised at how well these machines hold value. My bx23s was 2yo with 250h. I just traded it in today for a B2501. I got the 54" loader, the backhoe with thumb and a rear blade for winter. I hope it's worth it though. To be honest, I didn't need a bigger tractor. I just wanted to buy a...

    Black smoke on cold start

    Hi everyone, I have a 2yo BX23s with 255h on it. The last few times I tried to start it up, in cool weather (-10c), I use the glow plugs for about 30sec and give it a start. The tractor starts but it starts to emit black smoke and starts reving like crazy. If I don't turn it off, it just keeps...

    PTO generator inverter

    Hi, I'm currently working on building a PTO generator using a 10kW generator head. I've seen a few post about similar projects but I can't find any solution on how to smooth out the output. Without knowing too much about the subject, I am guessing that when applying large loads on the...

    ROPS light site recommendation

    Hi, I recently ordered some ROPS lights for my tractor on ropslights.com. I didn't get around to try them since I received them too late after I really needed them so I ended up buying them in a local store. Not a big deal I guess. I just want to let other people know that their mention about...

    can't connect hydraulic loop on bx23s

    Hi, I recently purchased a bx23s and I wanted to detach the backhoe so I can install the 3-point hitch. My problem is when trying to reconnect the hose to create the loop after removal of the backhoe. I tried relieving pressure by jiggling the levers and also by pushing with a screwdriver on...
