    Any ideas on how I can safely lift and install 18ft pole barn timbers?

    I have a little BX2370 with pallet fork attachment. I bought a pole barn kit. The posts are 8"x 8" x 18ft. I need to set into 18" x 48" holes. My tractor can lift and carry the poles flat, but I need to lift them standing up right to get into holes. Has anyone done this? How? I saw a YouTube...

    Front tires keep going flat. BX2370, Is foaming them an option?

    I'm tired of finding my front tires almost flat when I go to use my BX2370. Is having the front tire foam filled an option. I did this on my yard trailers and wheelbarrow and other small equipment. I know foam filling makes the tires heavy. Is that a problem? The other choice is to have...

    Oil spraying out oil fill port on Briggs & Stratton

    I know this is not a small engine forum but I figure you guys would be able to help. I received a small 10HP portable generator from a family member that upgraded. It's a 6000W Coleman Powermate. I cleaned fuel system and changed oil. The engine started right up. Sounds okay to me - but I'm not...

    I have to add air about once a month to my BX front tires. Rears are filled and don't leak. What brand tire sealer is recommended to stop this leakage? Preferably something that can be added through the valve stem. Thanks

    Does anyone make a fork boom extension that is not too expensive?

    Now that I have pallet forks for my BX2370, I'm looking for ways to extend their use. I would really like to get a boom extension for the forks (the kind that slips over both forks). Like in the photo attached. Of course these little BX tractors don't have a lot of lift. Especially if the load...

    BX Loader Quick Hitch (Quick Attach)

    I'm ready to buy some Pallet Forks. My BX has the "Loader Quick Hitch" (also referred to as the "Loader Quick Attach") part BX6315. Do the attachments (Bucket, Forks, Grapple, etc.) need to be specifically designed to work with this Quick Hitch or does every attachment made for the BX Loader...

    Checking Air pressure in a filled tire. How?

    The rear tires on my BX2370 are filled with water from Dealer (I'm in FL so no chance of freezing). When I am checking the tire's air pressure, with valve stem at 12 o'clock, I am getting water out of the valve stem as I check the air pressure. Is this normal? I assume that since there is air...

    First time removing lower hood skirts on BX2370 - what a PITA

    I just did my 50 hr service. I removed the lower hood skirt. What a pain in the A$$. First I had to remove the grill guard - @Kubota, why didn't you make this swing down? Not too bad except the Dealer that installed it must have used a 3/4" impact gun. Then the skirts. Well you can't pull them...

    3-point mounted "string trimmer" - any good?

    In another thread, cerlawson provided a link a 3-point mounted "string trimmer". I hadn't thought of anything like this device before seeing the post, but a device like this would sure save me a lot of work. If it works. I have a lot of citrus trees and long 4-rail fence that I "hand" weed...

    Tool/storage box options for BX

    I want to add a "ROPs mounted" tool-storage box to my BX tractor. The Kubota tool box p/n TC420-18510 is $75 and needs the mounting bracket p/n K2792-96350 for an additional $76. That's over $150. Is there a cheaper "pre-made" quality tool box that mount to the ROPs? I know I could make...

    I bet you don't know what kind of metal Kubota's are built from

    According the manual, our Kubota's are built from two metals, "Aluminum" and "Ordinariness". :rolleyes: Ever try to get "Unobtainium"? I bet trying to get "Ordinariness" at you local metal shop is just as difficult. :D

    Relieving pressure in FEL hoses when disconnected from tractor

    I am finding it difficult to reconnect the hyd lines for my FEL after it has been sitting (disconnected) from the tractor for awhile. I don't know if the FEL is settling or if the sun is heating the lines and increasing pressure - but regardless, I can't reconnect the hoses unless I first...

    Cleaning Mower Deck with water while blades spining - good or bad?

    I've seen some mowers come with a built-in garden hose attachment so you can run water to the underside of the deck with blades spinning, for cleaning. Here is a guy that has a drive over sprayer - where he runs the mower while spraying water...

    Where can I get a cover for my BX?

    I would like to buy a cover for my BX2370. Sort of like a car cover to keep the tractor clean and the seat dry. Mine sits outside all the time. I can throw a tarp over her and bungee/tie it down but that's a pain. I'd rather pay for something that fits well - if there is such a cover. If...

    Is there a Trencher implement for 3-pt on a BX

    I will be needing a trencher this summer. Lots of irrigation pipe to lay and conduit for driveway gate and lighting, etc. I was thinking of renting a walk behind "DitchWitch" type, but that forces me to do a lot of work in a short time or spend a bunch of $$ to rent equipment then leave it sit...

    What blades for 60" MMM with mulching kit?

    I have the 2015 BX2370-1 with a 60" MMM drive-over deck (RCK60D-26BX). I also had the "mulching kit" installed by the Dealer. Now I would like to get a set of new blades, but I'm not sure which blades I need. Does the Mulching Kit require a specific set of blades? Kubota lists two blade part...

    Lowering Brake Pedal pad height on BX - any reason not to?

    I don't know why the Brake Pedal pad is so far off the floorboard. Even "Paul Short" commented on how high you need to lift your leg to get your foot on the brake pedal in his BX video series. Is there any reason why one could not cut 3 inches of the brake pedal arm - so then you could get your...
