    3-Point Hitch Post hole digger for kubota bx2660

    Here is a picture of my Lienbach 7200JR on my BX24. Not a whole lot of ground clearance the way I had it setup because I needed to dig deeper. There are 5 adjustment holes for the boom.

    KTAC Insurance Renewal Notice Issue

    I wanted to pass this along in case anyone else has their KTAC insurance renewal due this month. I received a call from a lady at KTAC and she asked if I had received my renewal notice yet. I informed her that I hadn't and she stated that they had some issues sending them out and that my renewal...

    Ratchet Rake + Rotary Cutter = Great Team

    I've had my Ratchet Rake for 2 1/2 years and just recently purchased my Woods rotary cutter. What a team the two make cleaning up my woods. Now that I am in maintenance mode on our small horse farm finally, I have some time for some not so necessary tasks. I forgot to take the before pictures...

    Spread Out 3PH Lower Links

    Since the BX models have turnbuckles on the inside of the 3PH, the lower links want to collapse inward which makes connecting a rotary cutter harder. I don't want to purchase a quick hitch or a Pats w/stabilizer since I have spent a lot of money recently on implements and upgrades. For those of...

    BXpanded Work Lights Installed

    In my last thread, I mentioned that I ordered the BXpanded Quick-On Work Light kit after having issues operating my BH in the dark using a cheap magnetic work light. The lights arrived in two days in perfect condition. timswi mentioned in that same thread that he was going to look into these...

    Had To Dig My First Horse Grave With My BX24

    I purchased my BX24 three years ago to perform many duties on our small horse farm. One of the duties I had hoped to never have to do was to dig a grave for one of our horses. Unfortunately, this past Thursday evening, one of my wife's horses had a severe case of colic and she had to put her...

    B/BX Arm Rests work w/BXpanded Tool Pouch

    I thought I would share some information for any of you BXpanded Tool Pouch owners that bought them before they were discontinued. The tool pouch can still be mounted on the back of the seat if you also install the B/BX arm rests. I held off on buying the arm rests because I didn't think the two...

    BX24 HST Dip Stick Blew Out

    Did a search but didn't come up with anything. This is my first issue with this tractor after owning it for 3 years. After restarting my tractor in my garage, after removing my FEL, I backed out and noticed a trail of fluid. My HST dip stick was gone. I found the dip stick in the horse paddock...

    Helping Neighbors is Awsome!

    Next door neighbor (20 years my senior and I really don't know them) has had a dump truck load of recycled asphalt sitting beside his gravel driveway for 3 months compacting on its own weight. They have a relative that owns a much larger Deere, so I never thought to offer my assistance. I passed...

    Another Thanks to the Folks of TBN

    Today while spreading lime and fertilizer on my two horse pastures, each time I got off the seat to refill the spreader, the tractor wanted to shut off. I knew the issue was with the PTO but today, I just couldn't find the sweet spot on the lever for the engine to not die. I shut the tractor...

    BXpanded Brush/Pallet Forks

    I finally bit the bullet and purchased 3 BXpanded brush/pallet forks for my BX24. After reading many posts about what others were able to accomplish with them, I decided to buy them to assist with my cleanup around my small horse farm/woods. Once it dries up some, I'll put them to use.

    BX Radiator Drain Plug Removal

    I performed my first radiator flush and fill today on my BX24 and had problems with the radiator drain plug. Once I finally found it, I had no easy access to it. I thought it was going to be a bolt type plug but it was a rubber cap with a pinch clamp. My question is - has anyone successfully...

    B5100E Ran Out of Fuel

    This question is for my BIL that is not a member of TBN (yet). He ran his B5100E out of fuel and it won't restart. Could someone please respond on how to bleed the fuel system to get it to start again. I have never owned an older tractor, so I only know how to do it on my BX. Thanks for any...

    Dry That Air Filter!!

    I thought I would share a stupid moment I had today while performing my 300 hr service on my BX24, hopefully this will keep someone else from doing this. The 300 hr service on a BX24 calls for all fluids and filters to be changed/cleaned. Early in the process, I took my air filter (6 months...
