C'mon admins. Can't you do SOMETHING ?

Why does it seem like these days more than ever in the past a lot (define "a lot"?), I don't know 15%+?? of new member first posts ask such a vague question with so little associated information as to nearly be laughable? Am I just grumpy? I mean, I am here, just like most of you, to learn...

The other day I got my VHF antenna that I use for ham radio stuck in my Maple tree that's close to the house (you can just see it in the upper left hand corner of one shot) and so I cobbled together a very flimsy 23' pipe of various 1-1.5" pcs of aluminum and taped a mini Buck Saw to the end of...

I've done this in the past, using just the skid steer coupler (no forks or bucket) and it's always worked. Today I tackled some tough old (15" Mini Cooper) winter tires in ally rims and used my forks. FAIL ! :mad: I could not break the bead on either side of the tire (there's a chance I got...

I have a set of PFL1242 pallet forks on my BX,. How "hard" of steel are they if I wanted to poke a BIG hole near the end of one (or both) Occasionally I might like to put a trailer hitch ball in the end of one to move an empty utility trailer around my flat yard. Also, another project has...

Did all filters/fluids 2 days ago and thought I might have had a leak (didn't--different story) so today I put on the FEL (first time this season) and was just double checking engine oil level and caught my fri~!#$~k#$ hood ornament on the brush guard. I've been meaning to loosen up and...

I only just got the WSM last night (and don't have it with me to study) I gave the 50hr service a quick look and didn't see anything around what to do AFTER the filter and fluid was replaced. The only reason I ask is that I saw recently on BIFFS EQUIPMENT youtube channel, he started his BX in...

BX2380....going to do my 50hr service soon, although I am <ahem> a 'little' over those hours ;-) re: transmission fluid (hydraulic) Operators manual says to change it: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just got the WSM for this a couple...

Do any of you guys do I like do and do some backdragging with your front (or even rear) mounted snowblower? In my case, there are several areas where I tend to do it a lot more than others. Two notable locations are: Out next to the end of the driveway, where it meets the road, the county, in...

Big fan of snowblowers here in New Brunswick, Canada. For where I live (up on top of a hilly ridge) we get our fair share of snow...maybe even "more than our fair share, lol" I estimate I use my 48" commercial blower close to 90% of the time. HOWEVER, there are times when we get a mix of...

Somewhere online (maybe here; maybe youtube) I heard mention of a new grille guard insert MADE BY KUBOTA for the BX series of tractors. I am in Canada w/ a BX2380 Does anyone have a part #, reference, web site, picture or anything? (Am I dreaming and this was for an LX maybe?) At this time I...

Replaced my floorboard inserts on the ol' Road King on Friday and other than the baffles/mounts being all rotted out, the boards were in really good shape; too good to toss, so today I put them in one of my vices and banged them into 2 x 90degree shapes with a BFH. I had no idea boards even had...

I unintentionally hi-jacked another thread, but thought it best to repost here by itself, as that thread is about JEremie bx2200 not me., I couldn't find a photo, so whipped up a really cr@ppy picture in Windows-Paint(tm) just now for anyone else who wants "$20 pallet forks". I am no artist...

B7200 at auction << link has description and oodles of pix Looks pretty rusty crusty,.

Best bead-breaker I've ever used ! ! ! (BX2380 SSQA with no bucket or forks installed) Unfortunately, when I was all done patching the tube on the TG1860 and put it all back together I heard a hissing noise. Yup! Either my patch came loose or I had 2 leaks and didn't see them initially...

I am very casually looking for a tiller for the rear of my BX2380 with quick hitch. (QH10) and saw this a mile down the road from me. Looks pretty old and beat up but I don't know the first thing about it. I didn't talk with the owner. ( I'll try to upload some pix and put commentary about...

EVery now and then I have a need to drive a post, pipe or pc of rebar into the ground around here. I usually end up standing on a short ladder, some kind of BF mallet in hand. Occasionally because of a personal health condition this may end in long-term injury. (not because I am not being...

Hey Y'all Not much I can do about this at the moment, but with the quick hitch, ballast box, and various stuff in the box( weighed it all), I am at almost exactly 400lbS on the 3pt. (in the summers I ALSO have the 200lb MMM mounted.) I won't be filling my tires. My yard is mostly flat and only...

I own a newer BX2380 and an old n' tired TG1860....so far, engine runs strong, but everything else is battered/worn. The BX is rough on my bones mowing 2 ac of old farm field. (looks like a lawn, but is not a real lawn) The TG is not too bad, but I am sure its days are numbered. It's 20-22yrs...

I was wanting a way to 'pick up stuff" with my bucket.(stuff that wouldn't fit *IN* the bucket....like my mower deck for example) So far I have used biiiig ratchet straps to put a single big 8' chunk of 4x4 pressure treated post under the bucket like giant (square) bale spear. Another day I...
