I appreciate the opinions on both sides. I wasn't thinking I would get so many responses in either direction.

That what I'm going for. Looks like a great experience for the kids. All the houses are on at least 2 acres. In my neighborhood we sit at the end of our driveways, have a portable bonfire and drinks. The picture may make it seem like a busy roadway. It's actually very private. The only...

Thanks for your opinions. I'm with you on that. I live on a road that gets almost no traffic. It's not a through street. I actually feel like the kids would be safer on a lit up trailer than walking on a the street with no street lights. No draw bar. I'll be welding up something to that...

My wife asked whether I could tow the kids around for Halloween this year. I have a 14 foot, 80" wide trailer. I'm wondering if this is possible or whether it's a horrible idea. BX25 with FEL and backhoe. I'll plan on running a grapple in front (holding a weight if needed), 4WD Low...

Hmm. It doesn't look as hard as I thought. My BX likely does not have the spacer in front as it's an older 2008 model and I would just have to assume that I'm going to have to lift the engine. I would need to figure out how to do that.

Ultimately this needs a bit of research to figure out ideal temps and the effectiveness of the fan. Once that's determined we can figure out alternatives and decide whether there's actually a need for them. I like the idea of a tranny cooler but as mentioned space is tight.

I wish I had that situation near me... Though the dealer I go to has always taken care of me (as much as a larger company could). Nice info on the IR temp readings. That is helpful.

Yes but its very primitive in design. It suggests that variability in temperature isn't that important. It runs all the time regardless of temperature (not turned on or off by temp). I wonder what temp the fluid is when the environment is 100 degrees out vs 30 degrees out. Either way the fan is...

I do most of my tractor work at night.

You know. I didn't think about that. I'm going to go get a stick, turn the tractor on and shove it in there at exactly the right time. Just kidding :) I think I'll see how it sounds and watch it rotate. If it looks way out of balance I think it might be a good idea.

I called the service department of a local Kubota dealer. They said just 1 blade off the HST fan likely wouldn't cause much of an issue at all. The speed isn't fast enough for the 1 gram or so of missing blade to do any damage. They said they wouldn't bother replacing the fan unless it causes...

I mean...how bad could it be :) It's like a girl with a snaggle tooth. They're cute sometimes.

Ugh. I don't have a newer BX. I think mine is an 2008 model. They don't make a metal fan or some sort or shroud do they?

I ruined my HST fan blade before so I had the dealer replace it and I bought underbody armor. I didn't have it on today. Figured I'd do something quick. I'm not smart. I heard a rotational whine and I stopped asap. There is a single blade missing on the HST. What are people's thoughts on...

My BX is having the same problem. It's a bit cold out with the blizzard. I'm going to check they hydraulic fluid levels.

Thanks for the offer to help. I've taken video. Hopefully this is helpful for those who may offer assistance. I'll take and upload pics shortly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkMBFgEHMNA

Anyone have any ideas? This is getting worse. Using the grapple got pretty dangerous. The control stick seems to be very sloppy and gets stuck in position.

I noticed something strange today. when lifting something off the ground with the BX the loader continued to lift on its own without me touching the controls. Normally after you let go, the arm should spring back to its center position. Has anyone experienced this? It's quite dangerous as I...

I have a bx25 so not your size tractor. But snowblower all the way! And try to get a front mount. Your neck will thank you. Enough is done looking backwards...at least you can snowblower looking forward. No berms, the ability to cut out your mailbox. Fun shooting snow is like pissing artwork.

I had the same problem. I bought a longer top link and it didn't fit width-wise. I will just be grinding the yoke down as someone else mentioned. I would say max of 1/8" on each side
