    2 Inch Round Auger Extensions?

    I'm looking for extensions for my SA10 Auger. 2 Inch round drive. I found the Land Pride 7 (317-040A) and 14 (317-041A) inch extensions. I also found a lot of Hex 2.56 inch 2 9/16 inch Plus a lot of different adapters. I couldn't find any other straight 2 inch round extensions. Nothing...

    Nested Buckets

    I was trying to figure a way to store all of my buckets out of the rain. This worked out pretty good!

    BX Brake Pedal Free Play?

    Was going through my 100 hour service yesterday. I noticed the brake pedal free play was significantly more than what the manual calls for. I don't have the manual in front of me, I'll try to double check the spec tomorrow. I believe it's 1.4 inches of free play? My pedal has several inches...

    Make Sure You Check EVERYTHING During Your Service!

    Just a reminder that cursory inspections aren't so cursory. Did my 100 hour service yesterday. I was going to just grease everything and go to work, my OCD told me to waste time and check the whole tractor over. Good thing I did! -Battery was loose -Battery positive terminal was loose -Coolant...

    Swapped My Loaded R14 Tires For Unloaded R3s

    Holy crap what a difference! I bought my BX with ballasted (beet juice) R14? tires. They tore up my lawn more than I expected, so I picked up a set of unballasted R3 (turf) tires to swap out (mistyped, I meant R3, not R4). I swapped them out today before playing with my new buckets from CRI...

    Cold Roll Industrial Bucket(s) Review

    I just received 2 buckets I ordered from CRI. A stump bucket and a rock bucket. I haven't had a chance to try them out yet, just unload. They look great at first glance.

    So I Ordered Augers From Everything Attachments

    On one of the augers the collar is slightly too long, maybe due to the weld. So the auger won't slide far enough up the shaft of the driver to attach the shear bolts. The holes won't line up. And they sent me the wrong size replacement shear bolts. Looks like I have some grinding to do....

    Digging In Garden With BXpanded Trenching Bucket?

    I need to move some large bushes and small trees next to my foundation. I was thinking of using the BXpanded 4 in trenching bucket to dig in between, to minimize root disturbance. I thought I would see if anyone had a better suggestion before I pulled the trigger? Is there a better trenching...

    BX23S 50 Hour Service

    Did my service a few days ago. I thought I'd post up what I did. It's not rocket science. Some stuff I didn't think about beforehand. Maybe the next new owner of one will benefit. I spent the money on good stuff. Owners manual says replace engine oil/filter and transmission filter only. Repair...

    Source for JIC Tees?

    Looking for some Tees for my BX23S so I can check pressures at different spots in the system. I intend to leave them in so I can check/monitor any time I need. I'd rather use the JIC connectors for the 2 inline ends, no adapters, they'll take up more space. Top tee isn't as important, I'll be...

    Pin On Pallet Forks For LA344 Loader?

    I have the BX23S with the LA340/344 SSQA loader. Is there a set of pallet forks I can remove the SSQA portion of the loader and pin the pallet forks on? I'm trying to get the extra roughly 100 pounds from the SSQA so I can lift slightly heavier logs. I do chainsaw milling on occasion, so this...

    Why Does The B26 Have So Much More Hydraulic Flow Than The BX Series?

    Or maybe a better title would be, how similar is the B26 hydraulic pump to the BX series? B26 is 24.3 HP, 11.1 GPM hydraulic flow. BX2680 is 24.8 HP, 6.2 GPM BX23S is 21.6 HP, 6.2 GPM. They're all HST transmissions. Can the BX23S handle a pump that flows almost twice as much? Or is it pretty...

    Loader Getting Weak With Use?

    I've noticed that my loader has less lifting power at the end of the day. When the tractor is cold (not ran) and I start it running at idle I have no problem lifting the front loader ( 2023 BX23S). It's very slow, but it has no problem lifting and curling the bucket. Once I've ran it for a...

    Generic Power Beyond Questions

    I understand how hydraulics work in general (I deal with them here and there in the work I do). What I have zero experience with is Tractor hydraulics and terminology. This isn't for a specific project or reason, I just want to be able to understand how this all works. First questions are about...

    Raising Tractor With Stabilizers For Backhoe

    I saw a small discussion in one of the threads about how high to raise the tractor with the rear stabilizers when using the backhoe. I happened to find this while going through my owners manual; couldn't find the thread, so here.

    How Much Fluid Will I Need To Add A Third Function And Attachment?

    Adding a Land Pride third function and front mounted auger on my BX23S. Anyone know how much fluid I'll need? I didn't see anything in the paperwork on either. I'm guessing like 2 qts? Maybe 3? The auger housing is roughly the size of a large coffee can (Land Pride SA10). Does the Kubota oil...

    Got Some New Shoes For The Backhoe

    Got the Kubota rubber feet for the backhoe stabilizers. Haven't tried them out yet. May be a little bit, though I need to make sure they fit. Funny story; before I got these at the Kubota dealer I did some internet searching and called around. Couldn't get ahold of some places. Others didn't...

    Post Hole Auger, Once Piece At A Time

    Picked up the second part of my post hole auger. Doing it in pieces so it's a little easier on the wallet. First piece was my pallet forks. This mounts to it. Saved $300 this way (SA10 with the SSQA mount is $800 more but I could have had it with a $500 discount when I bought the tractor.)...

    Can You Mount BX Tires On A Regular Tire Machine?

    Anyone do their own tires? Can you mount/balance (I guess you don't balance these?) these tires on an automotive tire machine? Especially the small front ones. Curious because if you can it will push me closer to buying my own. I'm talking about a shop grade powered one. Not something like a...

    BX Alternator Bolt In Upgrade?

    Just curious for now, is there a larger bolt in alternator available for the BX? It's a 23 BX23S with a 40 amp alternator. Looks like a Denso with an oval connector.
