I have a Bercomac snowblower on a Husqvarna tractor and for the life of me I cannot resolve the belt slippage in even a moderate snow. I'm already 2 sizes smaller than what's recommended. I can remember a day many years ago where there was a compound one void get to resolve snowmobile belt...

Someone quoted me a fair market price for a 2010 CT235 445hours and garage kept, with 7TL Loader w/quick attach and 60" bucket, 72" dual clamp grapple, 48" Forks, 7TB backhoe used 3 times W 16" bucket, 72" Bobcat rear finish mower, 72" front mount snowblower with quick hitch, 48" Tebbens bush...

I just completed my 400h service at 430h. I acquired a complete filter set, excluding the inner air filter, with hydraulic, HST, oil and fuel, all branded Daedong, with the outer air filter, a Baldwin, from an ebay seller in TN for an even $110 with free shipping. I changed the front axle oil as...

I cannot find any markings on the differential drainage bolts to determine the torque values. Anyone have that figure on hand? While we're at it, what about the oil pan? [emoji16] Thanks. [emoji482]

Does anyone know the breakdown of the Bobcat serial numbers? I'm trying to determine the year of my tractor. Thanks all! [emoji482]

This is a shot of my CK35 (CT235) hydraulic block beneath the floorboard. What are those two protrusions above the row of four QC's? Thanx

I decided to go LEDs for H4 headlight bulb replacements and the ones I got actually have cooling fans built in the rear of them. My concern is that now the rubber boot that protects the bulbs from moisture won't fit over them. I could cut them but the fan end of my new bulbs will still be...

I was at large ag dealer the other day that happened to carry Kubota and used to carry Kioti. I noticed he had an L39xx, a consideration of mine in hindsight as I'd owned both a Kubota lawn tractor and a BX series sub-compact in the past. I had to take a closer look to compare to my CT235. I...

I've a 3PH finish mower that turns backwards and the intent of installing Oregon's Gatorblades demands the pursuit of reversing the gearbox. The main planetary gear was located forward, at the spline accommodation, and I moved it to the rear. It works but the gear meshing is slightly louder and...

Nighttime snowblowing is always a PITA with standard tractor headlights. My 72" is no exception. I found a pair of 18w LEDs on eBay for cheap. I already had these rubber encased toggle switches, excess from a p BBrevious tractor light install project. They've got the rubber boot as well and...

I've a Bobcat 72" 3PH finish mower. I need the blades to turn in the opposite dIrection. I've noticed that on the rear side of the square gearbox is a plastic cap and four bolt taps that would mimic the pattern accommodating the spline shaft on the front. Obviously this I'd just what I'm looking...

What would occupy this slot next to my 3PH height lever? This is a 2012 CK35 in white.

It was running, no pto, I set the brake got off the seat and it started to stall. I sat down it kept running, I got off again it started to stall and I sat down, it kept running. Verified the brake was set, it was. Got off, it stalled, got back on and it won't turn over. Turn the key, the...

Anyone try to locate Gatorblades for the Bobcat branded 3FM72 rear finish mower? I think with 3 of these it might actually cut a decent lawn. Thanks

My ROPS even at 45° hits my garage. In addition, it is always folded down and I typically hit my head when attaching or detaching any 3-point implement. It's a 2012, I think. Maybe '11, but I sat on a CK35 a few months back and would swear its ROPS was shorter. Question: does anyone know if...

Since its turned cold my CT235 has sat idle until I intended to get the snowblower on. I noticed I've a small coolant puddle which appears to be directly beneath the block heater. I deduct this as its inline with the power cord but is impossible to see where it enters the block as its directly...

Did Bobcat change the fuel filter setup from the CK35? I acquired an oil filter the other day from the Kioti dealer around the corner and picked up a fuel filter while I was there. Without removing the bell it looks far too small to be the proper size.

I was parked in the sun the other day and realized that I have L,M,H and N indicator lights on the dash to indicate what range the tractor is in but I've never seen then illuminated. Do I have a disconnected wire someplace? Thanks all.

Anyone retrofit a 72" rear finish mower with Gatorblades? Please pass on the part number and if reducers were used.

It seems the hole drilled into the base of the support mount of the auger gearbox that is intended to align with the drain plug on the FCTSB72 (front mount snowblower) is nowhere near accessible alignment. Gear oil change will now involve extensive labor.

I seem to have an issue with sheer pins sheering. The size and weight if this thing, I would think it pretty much bullet proof but so far this year I've sheered three pins on the auger and one on the drive shaft. Anyone else experience this? I plan to replace them all with a grade stronger.

I see head office in West Fargo, ND has removed the CT that adorned the landscape the past few years.

Kioti's in orange, now offered in B&W (Bobcat), soon to be red (McCormick) but who exactly is the new rumoured blue? Can't be Case/New Holland...can it? :confused2:

I have four acres sitting idle for 10 years that I believe was farmed sometime before that. I began cutting it a few times a season about 4 years ago. I want to plant a crop of Colarado Spruce trees for landscape purposes and am curious as to field prep. I think a single or even double 14" plow...

After 2 hours cutting my neighbors 3 acres of field with a 48" RC, it grew this horrible moustache! :D NOTE: The rad screen and hydrauLic oil cooler were just as bad.

I took delivery Friday as a Demo. Still waiting for the Backhoe which is the new reinforced unit. The loader is the older model but there is only 60-80 lbs lift difference whcih may or may not all be calculated solely by counter weight. The RFM is the Bobcat 72" and does a fine job. The unit is...

What exactly is the point of dual brake pedals on an HST tractor if the cruise control will disengage when any brake is applied? I could see a shuttle transmission in gear and a hand throttle set at speed in order to steer with independent brake applications for field work but why are they on an...

Are these all even mildly interchangable or just another example of completely unstandardized technology gone awry? Soon I will have a Bob-Tach. :licking:

Has anyone used one? How is it? Who makes it? Thanks all!:)

I saw this cutter on the web and want to know what brand it is. Does anyone recognize this Finish Mower? EDIT: Forget it - it's a NorTrac

Here's a bucket question: Where I am, our muck is thick and heavy. 80% clay. Can a 7' hoe with 2800lbs breakout at the bucket and 2,000lbs on the dipperstick be able to dig to its capacity with a 16" bucket?

Hi, All:D Yesterday, I made my down payment on a 2010 CT225 with 20 'Demo' hours at the dealer. He is going to clean up any of the little rust on a couple spots, install the bucket on the Bob-Tach attached to the 7TL and deliver it 12miles out of town to my place. They are waiting on the 7TB at...

Necessity forces me to part with my baby. And it's always sad when a tractor leaves home and you know it's never coming back.Sure one day I may drive by a field and see her out there laughing in the mud or sinking a few fence posts and you can only smile silently inside and try to feel the best...

Are these the same tractor?:confused2:

Why are they different? Why is the CK27HST 28HP and the CT225 27HP? Why is the CK's PTO HP, 20.5 while the CT's 19.5, lift 24" aft 1764lbs. to 1508lbs, 3117 lbs whikle the CT 3028? What's up with that?:confused2:

My LA211 hydraulic block has rear taps for the Woods BH6000 and the lower angled adaptor needed new tape to stop a developed leak. I removed it and re-tapped it with some plumbers tape and reinstalled only to have dislodged the O Rings at the ports of the HST. I removed again and reset them...

I am looking at stepping up from my Kubota BX to a CT225 7TL and 7TB and would be interested in input about the ease of removing the loader as well as replacing the Hoe with the 3PT hitch. Greatly appreciate it.

Is a 16" trenching buck too much for 7TB in an 80% clay loom? My Woods BH6000 with 1150lbs dipperstick and 2025 bucket digging force has trouble going past 4' unless it's really wet.

Hi all. I bet you"re thinking "what a funny handle". Anyway, I think I'm about to take a plunge from orange to orange but here's the question: Will a Bobcat MMM for a CT225 fit on a CK27HST with mid PTO?

This is the 3rd one in 5 years. The tractor starts to behave as though there is water in the fuel. Get on a slope and she acts like she is sputtering. Get level and it seems to stop. She appears to almost want to stall at some point. It will do this for months until I sense I should open the...

I have the Woods BH6000 on a Kubota BX2230 and am seeking information from anyone who has dealt with the binding diff-lock aperture that is shipped with it. I had the dealer mount mine a few years back and recall him mentioning that there was a close proximity with it and they opted not to use...

Yee-Haw! June 1st, last of 60 payments and all I had to replace was the fuel solenoid!:thumbsup:

A while back I had symptoms of what I was convinced was water in the fuel. I replaced the filters, changed the spring clamps to band clamps, drained the fuel and replaced it...eventually it just stopped. The past few seat sessions have proven a recurrence of these issues. Today as I was battling...

About two weeks ago I was stationary and backhoing when the engine started to die under load. Not any consistency but a randomness. It did seem like you could almost control it at times by applying and removing load. First I changed the fuel filters at 200 hours they had never been done. This...

Look what I found on the Japanese web site. My understanding is this model is 13HP. This was the smallest one in a series up to 125HP. The smaller, called the Bullstar, comes in 13 and 18HP.

Lets try this again::D After much gathering of parts and switch selection (not to mention finding the time) I have finally finished my lights. I ran a pair of aft facing halogens, fore facing halogens, and allocated provisions for a flashing amber I intend to mount on the ROPS as soon as I...

A significant number of post recently addressed overheating issues with their BX's. I just wanted to share with you the solution I found. Just the other day I mowed while it was in the mid eighties. My temp gauge barely lifted off the cool side. First, make sure your foam strip is in tact.This...

I tried to put a switch on the Worklight circuit, tapping into it at the fuse box with a single pole switch. I have a marine grade cigarette lighter outlet I installed in the rear fender to accomodate a 3PH sprayer that is connecetd to the bullet plugs under the seat . I want to be able to shut...

So I got me one of them Direct Mounted 3905161S Fleetguard air filter minders. As it suggests, most air filter assempbly have a tap ready to accomodate. Remove the red cap We simply add a little plumbing tape and the brass fitting that seems to screw right on. Voila Problem, of...

If you have never had Gators, they are the Cat's Pajamas of mower blades. :D As Gator doesn't make them for the BX series, it has been years since I have been able to use them and they are really top notch performers. By request, Vofandt sent me this link to the procedure he used to adapt them...

I bought a ten fuse weather protected fuse box to upgrade thhe stock crappola on my BX and didn't bother to disconnect the battery when I finally decided to upgrade. Course one of the wires from the emergency flashers came in contact with the battery anchor bar and sparked until it kind of stuck...

Is there any truth to the rumour that you can wash the air filters?:confused: Just hots, sudsey water, rinse and let dry thouroughly? has anyone done this? Thx

The little white wire at the front of the engine that runs to that mysterious harness with the white plug not plugged into anything, is that the temp sensor wire? :confused:

King Kutter 3-Pt. Cement Mixer, Model# CM-U | Cement Mixers | Northern Tool + Equipment Is this thing too big? It is 250lbs empty but once full of a bag on concrete, some gravel, sand and water will the BX fall over? I have herd negative things of the similar model by Agrex of Italy - the...

It is cold. -28f and -31f with a nw wind at 4mph. I had the wife plug in the block heater on the 'bota at about 9:00 pm in an unheated garage and I got home at 4:00 am. Glow the plugs for 12 seconds, Canadian #1 diesel in the tank, a wee splash of cetane, too (I think) - fires up first time...

I bought a new economy cutter from these guys Rotary Cutters in Minnesota. Nice unit! 10 guage deck and a Cat 4 drive line. Really beefy! I must have split half a dozen 10-pin bowling ball size rocks in half cutting a 4 acre swath that hasn't been cut in years. Price was $300 CDN les than...

I didn't get no 50 bucks! Didn't you guys get 50 bucks?

For the past year I had made the wildly incorrrect assumption that my tractor, used solely for non-commercial mean, was covered under my homeowners insurance. At the moment, I am pretty much being assured that it is not. Fortunantly, I have discovered this while it is sill locked in my garage...

I have to level and clear an area of flat land to install a new raised chamber septic field. I would prefer to buy a rear blade and use it in the winter for snow removal and counterweight for the front mount snow blower, but am fearful that I may be overestimating the capability of a rear blade...

From day one, I always thought my diff lock was not engaging. When an implement dealer I bought my BH6000 from (also a Kubota dealer) took my unit to install the subframe, I had him check it out as a Kuboita warranty issue. He said they found a broken pin. Sure enugh, I went to the section of...

Yee-Haw, a Groundbreaker-X fo my \'Bota Now the fun..er..work begins. Start with this tree stump. Who'd a thought the roots are easily 6" across.

Excuse the blury picture, but what is the white plug for on the left side of the air cleaner on a BX2230?

BX Engine RPM\'s vs PTO RPM\'s What engine speed is necessary to turn the rear PTO at 540 RPM and the front at 2500RPM on a BX2230?

Any of you guys with the BH6000 and subframe kit have the Bro-Tek skid plate installed? Did you encounter any complications upon install

Has anyone ever used the King Kutter Cement mixer? I would be curious to hear how well it worked. Insight on the hydraulic dump would be welcome, also. Thanks

I am looking at a slightly used Wood Brushbull 48, standard duty. It weighs about 450lbs. What is everyone else Brush Hogging with and is this too big for my BX2230?

Any opinions if the new BH70-X would work on a BX2230? 16.7 HP to the PTO on the BX, while the BH70-X states 18HP to the PTO. 1000lbs more digging force and an optional thumb.

New BX\'s finally on the website I see the new BX models are finally displayed on the website. I don't feel so bad, now, seeing the new 2350 has more horses and GPM but less 3ph lift and is heavier than the 2230. Mind you the loader lifts a wee more. Thank heavens for Tinytach!

I just the other day received my front mount snowblower BX2750C with Subframe and Quickhitch assembly for my BX2230. In the manual regarding the PTO it mentions not raising or lowering the blower while it is operating. As I have an uneven gravel drive this is almost a necessity to , at least...

I am making general inquiries on a Wood BH600 as I had heard some guys are getting them for $4k. I called locally in Canada and he is quoting me about $6k, so I called over the border to ND and he is even higher at $6.6k. What's a fair price? Those who bought at $4k for a BX, where'd ya get it?

Does anyone have a landscape rake with the wheel attachments they use to clean larger branches from high winds on a manicured lawn? I have willow trees all around my property and they leave branches everywhere after a high wind. We get four or five occasions a season of branches all over. I was...

As there are 2 provisions for spare circuits in the fuse box complete with 15 amp and 20 amp fuses, where can I find the hot wire to make it work. Also, under my seat, there is a red with black stripe wire with a female end connector and a black wire with a male end connector, not connected...

I was doing my 50 hour service (surprised the shroud came off without removing the grill guard) and got it all done with very limited spillage. [ did a genset and car just before so well warmed up]. Anyway, besides the fact I bought the Japanese filters for my Kubota Genset, $99 for a half...

Here's a Deere dealer in Thunder Bay, Ontario that has truly found Jesus!

Did anyone ever figure out what the story is on the dash face plate on the BX? Mine was loose so I pulled it off last night and the center of the lower three lamps is an "HST" and actually has a bulb in it. What's it for? On one side is a high beam indicater without a bulb and the other looks...

Just got the new silver "BX" grill guard to replace the stock orange one that came with my BX2230. Here's a shot without the FEL and the new guard.

Diff-lock doesn\'t work - BX I cannot seem to get my diff lock to work. 25 hours on the BX2230 but if I back up on an incline in my yard (at an angle) in 2-wheel drive, one wheel will spin and when I depress the diiff lock, the same wheel still spins as the other does nothing. I don't hear any...

Seeking the wisdom of experience, I have a small Kubota diesel engine powering a generator and small droplets of water are evident in the exhaust pipe. What is a probabal cause of this? It has 5000 hours and I have never had the time to even to a valve height adjustment, although its on my list.

Are the only grease zerks on the BX2230, other than the FEL, the one under the fuel treadle? That's the only one in my manual.

BX2230 can\'t pull I tried to drag my old septic tank on a piece of plywood across the level lawn to the field and found the weight to be overwhelming to the machine. I was kind of surprised. It has only 12 hours on it and perhaps it isn' broken in yet. I really have no idea what the tank...

How loose (or tight) should the shackle chains be on a ballast box for a BX2230. I have them set with about 1" of play on each side - so 2" of movement is tolerated by the box. Is this too much? Too little?

I am just curious over the size and brand of implements most of you are using on BX's. I was a little surprised to find the limited weight and sizes in the manual, contrary to the 24" aft of the 3ph lift spec. In fact, it would be hard to find, say, a brush cutter in the weight range they spec...

I just received my ballast box and hooked it to the 3-point and as I approached my sand pile to fill the box, I lowered it with the pto selector in 'rear' thinking this would let me lower the 3-point hitch while leaving the mmm raised. Much to my surprise, after a few secs the mmm is riding...

What's the difference between using a sheer pin and a slip clutch and which is better?

While moving some mud around with my FEL, today, I reduced engine speed to idle and noticed a rather loud rattling. I shut of the ignition after opening the hood and noticed the air cleaner seems to sit on a bracket with two holes perfectly aligned with two bolt holes tapped into its lower side...

The dealer brought out my new baby, yesterday. Sans, the ballastbox, rear work light and paperwork (that's accommodating) only because he spent the previous day getting a loader from another dealer as mine was on a truck somewhere. It was end of Saturday and I am not at all angry that they faild...

Greetings After three enjoyable years I have traded in my T1770 for the BX2230 with FEL and 60"MMM (front-mount snow thrower to follow) that arrives... tomorrow ! Finally, I get to utilize all 5 acres. I have been reading for a while and taking in issues those of you having the fortune , or...
