    Breaking up very hard dirt clods.

    In my area, good black dirt has been hard to come by, the last few years. I was able to get a few loads, free. It is not ideal, but will work. However, it was pushed up with a large dozer and the chunks are quite large. Some are so heavily compacted my Kubota BX (with MMM and backhoe attached)...

    SCUT Front Tires: BKT Skid Power HD on BX25D-1

    My front tires were shot. They lasted five and a half years and 370.3 hours. The outer edges were getting worn, but that wasn’t the problem. I could have just switched sides, if I were to keep running them. The issue was the thin sidewalks. The right front developed a large hole and a tiny hole...

    Load securement done right.

    This happened on the Kansas KTA, today. Pretty impressive. Very few people put the effort out to have stopped all of this being strewn all over the highway.

    Show me your welded mailboxes!

    My mailbox was recently run over. I am thinking it would be fun to build a new one. Yes, I will get the plans approved by my local postmaster, before I build it. I’ve got a few things going through my head, but haven’t decided what to go for, yet. What have you built? Here is a link to my...

    Flatbed to truck frame bolts: Check them.

    Recently, I installed 27 feet of 2AWG cables from the battery to a quick connect, at the rear of the truck. While I was routing it, along the frame, I found one of the bolts that holds my Gooseneck brand flatbed on the frame of my chassis cab was loose. It could move about a half inch and was...

    BX 60 MMM Time per Acre

    Does anyone have an idea of time per acre to mow an overgrown horse pasture with a 60 BX MMM? It is usually mowed with a zero turn, but we致e had a ton of rain (all year) and it only got mowed once, this year. Weeds are around 2 feet tall. Ground is pretty flat with no obstructions, just fence...

    Diamond C 24LPD Custom Ordered Dump Trailer Review

    I just received my Diamond C 24LPD 16' dump trailer. After two months, I was very excited. The trailer I received was grossly underwhelming. In the two months I waited for the trailer, I lost around $1,500 worth of revenue. The trailer did not come, as ordered, and has some very ugly fit and...

    Scored some Implements/Attachments, for the BX!

    I think I got a pretty good deal.... Originally, I was looking at a Land Pride RTR1550 rotary tiller, their top end, in the fifty inch. I called, today, to make an offer and was told it sold, a few days ago. They made me another offer. They took a BX2370 in on trade with a bunch of extras...

    $1,500 rotary tiller: JD 647 vs LP RTR1550 vs xxxxx

    I am looking at rotary tillers for the back of my BX25D (17.7 PTO HP). I am trying to keep it around/under $1,500, but will go up slightly to accommodate shipping/driving. This will be used commercially, for my part-time business. The two leaders I have thus far are both used, clean looking...

    3 Point Mower Options

    I found myself mowing a pasture, today, with my BX mid-mount mower. Obviously, that isn't the best option. Therefore, I am looking at 3 point mowers. I have seen a bunch of them, but don't know what the differences are. Can someone please explain what the differences/tasks are for a rotary...

    Finally got my bucket hooks on the Kubota BX!

    I originally had plan to put two hooks on the back of the bucket, between the cylinders, more to tie onto than to lift with and I still plan to attach a clevis inside the bucket. I think I'm going to have a tab welded, inside, then I can take the loop off, if I am doing dirt or rock work, like...

    What's the thickest crap you've mowed? Picture Heavy

    Today, I decided to mow the entrance to one of the fields we hunt. Deer season is just around the corner and we wouldn't have seen anything, in here. We've hunted it the last five years, but this is the first year we've had this kind of rain. Usually, by now, it's all dead or dying. My...

    Kubota BX22/23/24/25/25D/25D-1 Backhoe: How deep have you dug?

    Yesterday, I did a job for a guy, he needed four holes dug to a depth of over 40 inches. He had rented a trailer post hole digger, but due to the underground rocks (looked like gravel) and the clay, the rented tool would only dig around six inches. I had walked the neighborhood (took a few...

    Get a BX25D through a 47" gate?

    According to the manual and my tape measure, the outriggers measure 51", in their up position. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get it through a 47" gate? Let's pretend making the gate wider isn't an option, nor is taking out any of the fence. My initial thought is to try to lift the unit...

    First real job with BX25D-1; Dug out sump pump line.

    I did my first real backhoe job, today. In the past, I had pulled a small stump and removed some small bushes, neither of which took more than a few minutes or required much actual digging. Yesterday, I got proper insurance, including coverage if I hit something while I dig. I got this in...

    What have you messed up, with your tractor? Including ROPS into garage...

    Last night, after a great first snow day tractor experience, I did the inevitable...I mean unimaginable. I was cold and had been up since 11:00 the night before, which may have played a part. I had been playing in the snow in the low 20*'s for around four hours. I got home to a hungry and...

    First snow with the BX25D-1

    We finally got some snow, not much, just over two inches. It was enough I didn't feel like a fool out playing on the tractor, for the first time, in snow. Took it from 5.6 hours to 11.8 hours, with a Land Pride RB0560 rear blade and the FEL. Did some of my neighbor driveways and WOW, this...

    Grease Ignorant Poster-Kubota Polyurea

    I bought a Kubota BX25D-1, last week. Since the dealer was cutting deals, I grabbed a tube of Kubota grease. The dealer said it was appropriate for my tractor. Upon further review, I find red grease was used on the tractor from assembly. Upon reading the manual, it states "High quality...

    New BX25D-1, in the Garage!! They fixed the rolling issue, too!!!!!!

    I got one! I got one! Got the TLB with a 12" bucket and the 3 PT kit. I added the Land Pride RB0560 rear blade. I got a little more off than originally offered because they didn't have the RB1560 I wanted-still pretty happy with the purchase. There were Document Fees of $65. Five years of...

    Any reason not to buy a BX25D-1, tomorrow?

    After the deal falling through in April, I am thinking I'll try again, tomorrow. The price has actually gone down, from April and there is only $65 difference from cash to finance price. Originally, I was going to get the BX25D, 12" bucket, 3 PT kit, 60" MMM, 4 LED kit, and the RB1560 rear...

    Different Foldable ROPS on BX's

    Does anyone know what models of what years have which foldable ROPS? I've noticed some go straight up, from the mounting point, folding about two-thirds toward the top. Others go outward, from the mounting point, folding about a third of the way toward the top. Both Kubota BX2370's: First...

    New BX25D-1 Tires

    What model tires come on a new BX25D-1? I was leaning toward R4's, but am now going back to thinking R3's. Most of my work will be on the lawn: mowing and landscaping the edges with the BH and FEL. I have recently learned that not all R3's are created equal. Who makes the turf tires Kubota...

    BX25D-1 Pic Requests

    Hello, After almost buying a used BX25, I have decided I am better off buying new. (Only a $1,500 difference) Can someone take some pictures of their BX25D-1, for me? I have several good pictures of the 2012 model BX25D, but not very many of the BX25D-1. I am specifically interested in a...
