I have a BX2660 and no longer need the mower which is a 54" fine cut deck and also no longer need the loader which is a LA243 I believe. I have no idea how to price these things for sale. I only need my tractor now to tow my log splitter around in my yard. Both the mower and loader are in...

Can anyone that has aluminum bending experience recommend a brake (or something else) that will allow me to bend (mostly 90 degree angles) into aluminum as thick as 1/4" and as wide as 6". I am having a really tough time finding a brake or other device that will accommodate something this...

Would like to hear from people that have purchased fluid evacuators to change oil / fluids. I'd like to start changing my own oil in our cars and also in some lawn/garden equipment I have. I have read a few reviews on the MityVac products but they look a little cheesey to me. I'd like to get...

If any BX owner has any tricks to share regarding removing their fuel tank please let me know. I think I have dirt or crud in my tank which is causing my machine to bog down as if it is fuel starved. I have already replaced both filters (the lower one twice in a span of a week) and also...

Need some help here. Was moving mulch with my bucket today and after moving 4 yards my tractor starting shaking and lost power. I was able to restart and move some more mulch - even engaged the blades and it would run fine for a while and then out of nowhere would just idle down on its own and...

I'm trying to lock out my 3ph moving up and down following my manual which states to turn the 3 point knob clockwise to lock it. When I do this my 3ph still moves up and down but my mower deck, which I want to be able to raise and lower, doesn't move. If this knob is working as it's supposed...

Trying to decide between a Trac Vac 662 Pro or a Cyclone Rake. Have read much about the CR product but not that much about the Trac Vac. The Trac Vac appeals to me because of the reduced length of the unit compared to the CR product. The CR product comes with a better engine however. I don't...

Last weekend I took a very large oak tree down on my parent's property. It fell where I wanted it to and I've bucked up a lot of the wood but I need some ideas on how to move the very large rounds to a central spot (near where I split ideally). I'd like to avoid having to noodle every round if...

I'd like people's opinions on what they would pay a relative to help them with replacing a broken HST fan on a BX2660 and also changing engine oil, replacing both fuel filters, changing transmission filter and cleaning metal screen (did not replace transmission oil). This was a complete...

I'd like to purchase some sort of engine lift that is electrically powered that will lift in the neighborhood of 1,000 lbs. I'd like to be able to move this from my garage to my shed when the need arises so it needs to be sort of movable. I'd be using it to lift my mower deck and also to lift...

Had the misfortune today of cooking my HST fan compliments of a stick that made its way past my Kubota protective cover (upgraded part but not adequate). Before I get to my questions I'll get a couple of things out of the way: 1. Yes, I should have been more careful 2. Yes, I will order...

Need to pick up some kind of leaf vacuum for both my property and my parents property and I'm leaning toward the middle size cyclone rake. I was wondering if anyone that has one might also have a fine cut deck on their machine (RCK54P23BX). I called CR and they weren't familiar with my deck...

I had an opportunity a while ago to pick up a GB60 box blade and it was suggested to me that it was too big based on how much material the box itself would hold. Was told I'd likely be spinning my tires once the box filled which made sense. I am still in need of a box blade and 48" seems to be...

I have an opportunity to pick up a nice used Woods Box Blade model GB60 and was wondering if there were any BX2660 owners that might be using something this heavy? I contacted Woods and they recommend the "estate" version which is 48" and closer to 300lbs. The GB60 is almost 500lbs and I...

Need to replace a 16 x 10 shed that I have with something more meaningful. More like 20 x 16 and with taller walls. I'm in the Northeast (MA) and the most intimidating decision I have right now is what to use for a foundation. I've done a little reading and research and had a quick discussion...

What's the most effective way to remove small pine saplings? I have access to a bunch of hardwood that I intend to cut down and split for firewood and have a slew of small pine saplings in my way. Not really interested in going the chainsaw route and cutting them - would prefer to completely...

Anyone build anything for their tractor that acts as a tool carry all? I'd like to make something that will carry a couple of chainsaws, oil, fuel and a few other small items and I'm pretty sure someone more creative than me has made something. I have a trailer hitch on my 3 pt that I can...

Thought I'd post what I purchased from Omni-MFG in case anyone else was in the market for the same thing I needed. I needed a trailer hitch and also something to add weight so that loader use was safer and more efficient. The pics attached don't have any weights on the bar (yet) but you'll get...

Could use some suggestions for a debris rake for my BX2660 tractor. Primary use will include picking up rotted rounds and other misc junk that I can't pick up effectively with just my bucket. Will also use to pick up brush (whatever is too small and not worth splitting for firewood). Will be...

Have a BX2660 and would like to know what the most common tools are for normal maintenance. Specifically, I'd like to know what size range of wrenches would be needed. All my stuff is SAE and I'd like to buy just one metric set (instead of 3) if possible. Would also be interested in knowing...

I'm in need of adding some weight to the rear of my BX2660 and stumbled upon this outfit called Omni-MFG. They sell a few toys for sub/compacts and I wondered if anyone has done any business with them and what their quality is like. They don't seem to have either an email address or phone...

Wondering if anyone that uses a horizontal splitter has any tricks for splitting huge rounds. I have a Timberwolf splitter (again, horizontal) and even with the log lift (manual not hydraulic) which we have there are some rounds that are so big they cannot be lifted using the log lift...

Have a BX2660 that I need to do some grubbing work with and I'd like to know what you guys would recommend for a second set of tires. I have turfs now because I use my tractor for 95% mowing but I will be doing some loader work and clearing a large area (will likely use a rachet rake for this)...

Just wanted to share my experience regarding my recent purchase of a BX2660 from Neil Messick. We traded quite a few emails prior to my purchase and Neil answered all of my questions. The couple of times I called he was always available and gave me as much time on the phone as I needed...

Getting closer to pulling the trigger and trying to get a few more opinions on attachments. Wondering if any BX owners have purchased the fine cut deck instead of the standard deck. Heard back from TripleR that he wasn't crazy about a fine cut deck and that he was pleased with the quality of...

Could someone point me to the thread that outlined how certain people use their blades to grade or re-grade? I'm considering re-grading a fairly sizeable area and I remember reading a post from someone where they turned their blade around and moved their machine in reverse (if memory serves)...

Need advice on best way to regrade part of my yard that wasn't done properly. There was a recent thread describing different attachments (box blades, scrapers, rear blades) and different ways to use them. I've searched but cannot find it. There was one post that specifically mentioned grading...

I might be picking up a BX2660 soon with FEL and MMM and wondering what the weight of the FEL is. I cannot find it in any Kubota literature I have. I'm aware that the tractor weighs approx 1389 and deck is about 250. Any concerns trailering this outfit with a trailer that has a GVWR of...

Newbie here. Have read tons and learned plenty. Would like people's opinions on an upcoming purchase I need to make. Here are the details: * Small property (compared to many) - about an acre of mowing * Some fairly large beds that need to be mulched yearly - estimate I put down 10yds per...
