My soil is pretty sandy, so i was hoping to use a standard 9" auger, instead of the compact tractor 6" version. I'll be setting some 4x4 posts for a deck.I was thinking the 6" version might be a little small for those post.What do you guys think?

I recently had a pond built, and all the soil was placed around the pond, in gentle mounds. The topsoil is pretty thin. It is very compact in some spots, and kind of loose and "cloddy" in other spots. I would like to get some grass growing on it this spring, but I'm wondering what would be best...

I have a middle buster for my bx-24 that i user for some basic trenching activity, but i was wondering where i could get some different implements for the middle buster.Specifically, something to dig a more precise , straight wall trench for some walkway edging. TSC doesn't seem to carry this...

I had my new bx24 less than 2 hrs. before i managed to get it stuck! I was aware of the differential lock, but it didn't matter. I guess there are some wet places a bx just shouldn't go. Oh well..I backed my SUV up to the stuck tractor , at a safe distance, I thought. And managed to get the SUV...

you guys have really been helpful in my decision to purchase my new bx-24. I was wondering if i should have them load the tires. Would that be a negative for mowing? the other thing i was wondering, is the same thing Dusty was wondering. What seat replaces the factory seat, if you are trying to...

I like everything about the bx, except the SEAT! The dealer says there is nothing they can do untill Kubota comes out with something next year. Is this true? It feels like you are about to slide off the seat that's on it now. I also can not get any dealers to seperate the backhoe from the bx24...

I just sold my boat and i now have money for a new tractor. (what does that say about an individual!!??).. I've pretty much decided on the bx-24, mostly because of the discussions on this board. I think it will be just the ticket for my 3 acres..I live in north texas, and have no less than 5...

A COMFORTABLE TRACTOR/MOWER!!! I live in a small ranchette style neighborhood where i finish mow about 3 acres of what i would call "rough yard". I use a cub cadet with a 54" deck,about 10 yrs old, and i got to say "man is it rough on my fat city body!". Does anyone build a tractor with...

I have about 3acres with a house, and plan on putting in about 1/2 acre pond.So, I'm only going to need to finish mow about 2 acres. I would like to be able to do some light landscaping chore's (dig some holes for fence,deck,dock,etc., use the FEL for a wheelbarrow and light ground engagement.)...
