No offense, but you are both jumping to conclusions. It is not unusual to swap between my turf and Ag wheels, and every time I do, I tighten within spec. When the wheels are on longer, I check them occasionally. Do I document the hours when do a cursory check? No. Do I use a torque wrench...

Thanks for the feedback and tips. FYI, I am certainly not new to tractors, at least not this one. I've owned and maintained it for over 10 years now, both personally, and with the help of my local dealer when needed. I certainly wouldn't come here asking for insight for a neglected machine...

I was mowing last night on a slight slope, and thought my mower deck became disengaged because I felt a "rubbing". It turns out my left rear wheel fell completely off. What was especially strange is that I found three of the lug bolts within 3 feet of the wheel, which means, there was some...

I recently took ownership of a 60+ acre property, about 40 acres of which is covered in alfalfa. I had a local farmer come in last year and clear it, bale everything up, and take it, but I'm pretty much on my own from here on out. At the very least, I am looking for an acceptable set up to cut...

Sorry to bug the forum on this, but being as I am out of town, I cannot measure two dimensions I need on my 54" mid mount mower deck. I just ordered a Cyclone Rake, and they are asking for the discharge opening width and height. My BX25 is from 2010, but I am not sure of the model number. It...

I finally decided to drop the cash on a Cyclone Rake. My first cut of the season left me with unmanageable piles of grass clippings. My MO last summer was to create windrows, essentially, with every pass of the mower and use the bucket to pick it up. It was very time consuming and divots in...

I have an EA 48" rotary brush cutter that I tried to hook up using my new Harbor Freight quick hitch (Haul Master branded). The quick hitch actually worked really well out of the box to connect to my EA tiller. The tiller has a fixed top pin. The rotary cutter, however, has the adjustable...

I have about 2 acres of lawn that I cut. I try to cut it weekly, and even so, I get a lot of lines/piles of grass. After cutting, I've been floating my bucket with Piranha tooth bar and "push-raking" the grass into piles, then scooping it up for the compost pile. I was considering a yard vac...

Hey all. As Spring approaches on our first full year on our new homestead (2 acres of lawn, 10 acres of woods, and 55 acres of pasture), I have decided that a good tiller is the next implement purchase for the 2010 BX25. We are planning to create a new food plot (roughly 6,000 to 7,000 SF) on...

I just recently acquired a nice 60+ acre property, 30-40 of which is an established alfalfa/pasture grass crop. Our understanding from the previous owner is that a local boarder came once or twice a year, cut everything down, baled hay, and took it away. In return, he gave her a small per/bale...

I apologize in advance for the negative thread subject, but I seem to have bad luck with Kubota's front tires. When I had my little G series garden tractor, the front tires would always go flat. When I got my BX25 about 6 years ago, they had to replace the stems of the turfs because the fronts...

I am looking to buy a trailer for my Kubota BX25. It is a subcompact weighing in at around 2,700 pounds; I think that includes the loader and backhoe. I also have a brush hog, box blade, and mid-mount mower. I have never had a need for a trailer, so I am not completely sure what features to...

I am moving onto a large property this winter, so I am currently re-evaluating my needs. I have a BX25 with an FEL and BH (Obviously), and I also have a box blade for the back. Currently, the combination of FEL and box blade work well for removing snow from my 100 foot driveway, but I expect...

We are in the process of purchasing a large piece of property. The current owner no longer has a need for her Ferris IS 500Z 52" zero-turn mower, and she offered it to us (at a price, of course) if we are interested. It is either a 2011 or 2012 (Probably 2011) and has just under 200 hours on...

I bought my BX25 for my 1 acre lot and still use the belly mower, bucket, and BH regularly. I love it. When we bought our 8.5 acre property 2 miles away, I decided that the BX25 would be adequate to manage that property also, and I picked up a 48" rotary mower for the fields and a 48" box...
