Changed my hydraulic oil and filter, cleaned the screen etc..at 233 hrs. Second time, first was around 50 hrs. I checked the Workshop Manual from Kubota just to be sure I remembered it right from almost 3 years ago... That's when I saw an interesting note that ought to put all the UDT vs...

My BX24 is coming up on 4 years old. Yesterday I went to clean some pine sap off the seat that dripped from a tree it was parked under, and noticed cracks in the seat material in several places. This tractor has always been stored indoors. Just turned over 200 hours. Wondering if this is...

Anyone use a drain water heat recovery system? I'm thinking of tinkering with a home made one. Just seems silly to be dumping 100deg water down the shower drain when I'm simultaneously pulling cold water out of the well to heat it... I figure if I can preheat the incoming water with the drain...

Saw this on the road yesterday- no license plate and 3ea 11' Mules crossways on a gooseneck trailer, pulled by a pickup, no wide load signs or anything. Sorry for the lousy cell phone pic, wanted to get one of the slack jawed driver as I passed but couldn't...

Long story- a few months back the top off a jug of PowerService magically jumped 2 feet out of my hand and went in the fuel tank opening of my BX24:p So months later the tractor shut off on me like out of fuel. I immediately though of that dang jug cap, must have blocked the outlet. I shook it...

I've been using no ethanol gas from a local Exxon station for a few years now in all my power equipment. Recently I've had two issues come up- First, my backup gasoline generator at my camp wouldn't start. Pulled the carb off and was horrified at the amount of crusty chunks of some black...

So I'm expecting a registered mail package from Singapore. Get an email notice that delivery was attempted. Sure enough there is a notice in the mailbox 100 ft from the front door. We were home and never heard the doorbell ring. Reviewed the security cam footage and the lazy carrier never...

Thought I'd mention something interesting to me- I have a 96 f350 with the Powerstroke diesel and 180,000+- miles. Never has used any oil. About 2 oil changes back I switched from 15w-40 to the Rotella 5w-40 oil. At some point I noticed a pretty large oil smoke cloud on initial startup...

Made it up to our land in western NC near Tryon over the weekend. Pulled up and immediately noticed a 15 gallon water jug on the ground next to a table it had been sitting on. It was full, around 120lbs so the wind didn't blow it off. Hmmm..... Then found a 5 gallon can of diesel on its side...

I've noticed the last few months my 96 Ford with the 7.3 Powerstroke and my 2007 BX24 have been slow to start, ie longer than normal crank times. I used to add Powerservice (silver bottle Diesel Kleen) to all my diesel fuel but had quit awhile back. Well....started adding it again to boost the...

I have a Featherlite enclosed trailer with an aluminum diamond plate loading ramp. Yesterday after loading the tractor in the rain I slipped on the ramp and fell. Thats twice now I've fallen on that ramp when wet and I don't intend to have a third. Dry it is fine. Even though the diamonds...

Here is a caveat for everyone- last week I bought a 12" receiver tube made by Reese from Tractor Supply. Got it all fabbed up into a hitch for my fathers motorhome. THEN I discovered the tube is made incorrectly and is a hair too small to accept many 2" drawbars. The 5/8 hole for the pin is also...

LiveLeak.com - Tractor ramp stunt goes not as planned ; Oh well...:cool:

Here is an actual ad from the local trading paper, I did X out the phone number- 33.6' FIFTH WHEEL TRAILER, 8' wide with 2' sides, steel deck & side, twin axle, electric brakes, has some rust, can email photos of trailer, was used as a boat holler. Only $1,975. XXX-XXX-XXXX ask for Kelley, no...

Sunday I was passed by a truck/trailer with an old tractor and what appeared to be an old rotary mower on the back driven by a tire from the PTO to apparently a disk under the deck, with I suppose the blades on the disk perimeter. Pretty novel I thought to use that method rather than a gear...

Mentioned in another thread I was taking the wheels off my BX24 yesterday. When I pulled the right front wheel off a ball fell out....thought at first it was a toy that somehow got caught up between the rim and steering knuckle. Further investigation determined it was made of clay and very...

Went to pull the wheels off my BX24 yesterday to install some metal valve stems and was very dismayed to find two lug bolts on the left rear wheel stripped. One a little but one had major strippage. There was evidence of grease around the one really bad one so it appears someone knew there was...

The Chai Story: The Chai Story YIKES! If you have one of these get rid of it right now:eek: Hope it isn't out of line posting this- I know many if not most of us have dogs we love.

Picked up a Howse rear blade on closeout at Northern Tool yesterday...now I'm having second thoughts, impulse purchase- hey look its on sale and I happen to have the trailer with me.:D Stopped at TSC on the way home and looked at the KK line they have. Howse- Plus- the blade can be bolted...

Ok a couple of weeks ago I bought a KingKutter 4' rotary mower for my BX24. Had a heck of a time assembling it, ruined a 1200 lb come-a-long warping the 3-point uprights and backstays into place to get the bolts in. After about 6 hours use I had to weld the stop pipe in place below the pivot...

Ok I bought a KingKutter 4' rotary mower/brush hog for my BX24. The mounts for the 3 point attachment seem to be pretty high off the ground. As a result I can't pick it up very high before I run out of travel. In fact I can't get it on my trailer when attached so I have to pick it up with...

Picked up 10 gallons of B99 in Asheville, NC to use as an additive to improve lubricity and keep my diesel fuel systems clean. I was a little disappointed it was $4.93 a gallon vs about $4.75 for petro diesel. Thats in WNC, I can get B20 in SC for around $.05 a gallon cheaper than petro...

I've noticed huge numbers of sweat bees this year at my land in western NC. Never had this many before. I've done a lot of yellow jacket control the last two years with traps and seem to have wiped out the majority of them. I went on that mission after getting stung about 6 times when I...

Well TSC once again puzzles me- picked up a 4' KingKutter brush (bush) hog for my BX24. Reading all about slip clutches I'm convinced I'll be better off getting one before I even start using it. But they don't sell one with the spline input/round output to fit the equipment they sell, all...

I'm looking to weld up a small wood stove for shack/cabin heat. Don't want to spend a bunch on a commercial stove and I want it smaller than most any I've seen. Something along these lines-Cabela's Sheepherder's Stoves but I'm not concerned with packability since I won't be carrying it...

I like to grease all the fittings on my BX24 after every few hours, probably doing it more than I need to but no harm in that. Problem is- the two large pins the BH swings side to side on are very hard to force grease into. The lower one was blocked a few greasings ago, my cordless grease gun...

Sold my 2006 Rhino last week. Really liked it, never had a minutes trouble with it, but I constantly struggled to transport it. Too tall to go into my older toy hauler RV without removing the roll cage which was a huge PITA. Could go in my pickup just fine, if I wanted to take the top off...

The wife and I were in WalMart today and noticed a guy eating chicken from a bag he picked up in the deli section. He was doing this in the middle of the produce section, which we both thought was a little crude. Anyway we started talking about it and the wife said she sees this all the time in...

Went to haul some ABC/Crusher run yesterday to my mountain property. It was $11 a ton 2 years ago, $14 a year ago, and is now close to $20 a ton:( I haul 5 tons at a time in my dump trailer and took sufficient cash, I thought, to get 3 loads. Had to hit the ATM to get the third...

When I check in I always use the "Since my last visit" option to see whats new. I've noticed quite a few times a thread I'm following isn't shown as having new posts since my last visit when, in fact, it does. There will be many threads listed but maybe not all of them with new posts. Any ideas?

I know Kubota says it is a Cat 1 but is it really in all aspects, or is it partially a Cat 0? I ask because I haven't taken my backhoe off yet to assemble the 3 point hitch and notice the Cat 1 top link sold at TSC is way longer than the one that came with the tractor... I have some 3 point...

Yesterday I started thread here- http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/rural-living/106885-large-poly-water-storage-tank-new-post.html and I got a server error message. Now the page is blank with no content. I hit the submit button again and it worked so the one above needs to be deleted...I...

Been looking at the 1000 gallon or so poly water storage tanks for my mountain property. We have no water on the land except for a spring which hasn't run in months since the area is in extreme drought conditions. My plan is to fill the tank when we do have water to have it available during...

I have one of these- Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices on the way. They finally dropped the price $100, been eyeing them online for awhile, the stores around me don't carry them. I have multiple uses for winches on my mountain property, mostly retrieving downed...

I have no real need for a Bush Hog/rough cutter type rear attachment but my 77 yr old father mentioned he might spring for one to clean up some property he owns :) I figure a small one, no more than 48" or even a 40" might be decent on the BX24. Anyone care to share experiences/prices/sources...

WHOA:( Was doing an early 10 hr oil change in my week old BX24 and discovered the air cleaner end cap UPSIDE DOWN and not sealed well to the canister:eek: Don't know if it left the factory this way or the dealer screwed with it during his pre-delivery inspection. I am very glad my first 10...

Hi All, New here, just picked up my BX24 last week and I'm thrilled with it:) I have one of those Harbor Freight 10Kw generator heads I'd like to adapt to run off the middle PTO on the BX24. Ya'll can spare me all the discussion about whether it is appropriate to run a gen head off a tractor...
