The tie down points are a great idea, but those straps in the picture of the BX on the trailer has the straps pulling sideways more than front to back. See the image of the lifting slings that shows how forces get multiplied when you pull "sideways"

I found this pump on Craigslist but I am not sure how the valve block is plumbed. To me it looks like it was set up as a Double Acting pump (with two valves), but it looks like three parts were in use. Is the bottom one on the left the return? Also, are the valves normally open (and energized...

I fabricated a quick mount for this before winter and I could not be happier with the tractor pushing 8+ inches of wet heavy snow. Right now the swivel is manual but I plan to hard the rams over the summer

I saw this on the Hydraulic Surplus website http://www.surpluscenter.com/item.asp?catname=&item=1-3965-A

It took 2 hours with the backhoe and a chainsaw to cut 3 8" tree roots but the Kubota won out. The stump had to be pretty heavy because I could barely lift it (even without the FEL bucket on)

Would this mower deck fit my BX24? RCK54-15BX

Almost since I got this tractor, I have wanted to make a QA FEL bucket so I could better leverage the limited lift capacity of this tractor (especially with forks) These images represent my first attempt at forks and while they worked pretty well, the extra distance from the fulcrum point...

I have been planning on building a QA bucket and a fancy set of forks for several years now, but I have just not ever gotten around to it. I finally got to the point recently where I needed some forks and I could not wait any longer to do something elaborate so I came up with a somewhat unique...

There are a couple of threads that talk about the brake shoes for a BX costing around $75, but I did not see any total costs for having the dealer do the whole job. Has anyone had this done? (and what did it end of costing?) From the way it looks, it seems like a fairly consuming project that...

I understand how you can mechnically keep a set of forks or your bucket on your FEL level as the arms are raised or lowered, but on some tractors (ie Kubota B26) it seems like you can hydraulicly "turn on or off" a self leveling circuit .... Anyone have any insight into how this system works...

I don't know about the rest of you, but my Kubota always has a good battery (since I use it so much) and many of my other battery powered pieces of equipment and ATV's often have dead batteries. I got tired of taking off the center panel on my Kubota BX to get to the battery to jump it so I...

In the 4 years I have owned (and enjoyed) my BX24, I have spent more than a dozen hours total (on several different occations) measuring, calculating and generally trying to figure out the best way to enable my BX24 with a quick connect connection for the loader bucket on the FEL. The two links...

On hot days when running the engine at speed, the oil temp gets pretty hot on this little machine. It does not show any signs of problems, but I would like it to run a bit cooler. I was thinking of adding a coil and fan to the hydraulic circuit to directly dump some of the heat. On the rear...

On my BX24, I need to adjust the contact on the switch that tells the machine that the PTO is engaged. It is set up to kill the engine if you have the PTO on and you get up from the seat. The problem I have had lately is that the engine will kill if I get up from the seat even with the PTO...

I have always liked the idea of quick hitches, but given that my rake and box blade are King Kutter XB attachments with Category 0 spacing, using a quick hitch was not an option until now. 1 quick hitch from Harbor Freight - $69 on sale 3 hours of cutting, measuring wrong, re-cutting and...
