Has anyone added a dove tail to their trailer, I want to make it easier to load my BX2200 and backhoe with out having the ramps so long. What angle would be best?

I got a subframe from a dealer and neither of us know what kind of tractor it was made for. It looks like it will fit my BX2200, the front of it comes to the pivot points for the midmount mower arms and it goes back far enough to fit into the mounts for the backhoe, a LITW Korean BH-6600. How...

How many TBN members are using or thinking of using a CNC plasma cutting table ? I am thinking real hard about getting a Plasmacam, they seem to be the most complete self contained unit availiable that I have found. Any ideas or thoughts on the subject? jimc

I got a flyer from Surplus center and they have Swivel Eye Cylinders in 1" to 1.5" bore that should work great for TNT uses, I ordered 2 in 1.5" bore 6" stroke 13 1/4 retracted length which will work for my BX 2200. They don't have a lot of them, so better check them out soon, the only had 14 of...

I kept reading the posts about grapples and decided to build a small one for my BX2200. I don’t plan to do a lot of heavy work with a grapple so I made it to suit my needs. When I trim the trees on my place I have a lot of trimmings that I burn and trying to haul a lot of small branches and...

I was mowing around the house today after sharpening the blades of my rottery mower and when I went to disconect the pto, the housing was very warm. About 20-30 minutes. This is the first time I had tried to disconect the PTO right after mowing, usually I had hauled the tractor a few miles...

Here is what I rigged to add transmission fluid to a BX 2200, I used a 1 1/2 " electrical elbow (I had it on hand) I used a heat gun to insert a 1" coupler into the elbow (if you use a 1" elbow forget about the heat gun and the coupler) a piece of 1" pvc pipe, and a 1" threaded adapter DO NOT...

I don't know if the Japanese or korean tractor makers will follow suit but here is a recent addition to the chinese equipment line

Sometimes I need to move my 5th wheel trailor and thought it would be handy to use the BX2200, so looking around the supply pile I found a few pieces including a busted receiver and now I can move the rv around the place real easy.

Seen in a John Deere sales office: The only machine we don't stand behind is our manure spreader.

Has anyone but me broken the flashing amber lights on their BX2200? I am going to move mine up on the rops after this weekend. TSC has a replacement unit, but it has the wrong bulb, it is a 2057 dual element bulb for tail and stop lights, the kubota is a single element bulb. Just curious jimc

While moving some dirt with the FEL yesterday I found myself being sprayed with hydraulic fluid coming up from the left floor board around the emergency brake and differential lock pedal. Turned out that the center line of the three lines under the left floor board developed a split. The dealer...

Anybody got a good source for wheels for rough cut mowers, Bush Hog mowers, rotary mowers, whatever you want to call them? jimc

There has got to be a story behind this Tractor and sign on the road about 3 miles down the road from me. see photo
