    How Does Everyone Clock Their Blades? Does It Matter?

    Doing some mower maintenance the other day, and the thought randomly popped into my head....does blade clocking make any difference in cut quality? Specifically to a three blade finish mower. I typically don't set them to any position, just randomly tighten them in place, where they happen to...

    Anyone with ICF building experience?

    I'm several years away (5'ish?) from a retirement cabin project, been looking at various building methods. In a perfect world, I'd just do a small (~1K f2, one story w/ walk-out basement on a hillside) log cabin, but then I start thinking about maintenance, battling the critters, etc.. Not sure...

    Experienced Deck Builders?

    My summer project at the camp will be a small 8'x12' free standing deck. Looking for guidance on support structure. Right now, the plan is to use concrete deck blocks setting on grade. Is there something better/easier? How many should I use? Should I stay on 16" centers, or is 24" OK...

    12V dry spreader on FEL, who's done it?

    I think it would be handy to mount a 12V dry spreader on the FEL of my BX, mostly for yard fertilizing. I've looked into a few, thinking the ATV type would probably adapt the best to the FEL. The problem I'm finding it locating a reasonably priced spreader that has 12V gate control. Most of...

    Finally...BX in the Snow!

    Got about 4" of snow yesterday, so of course I HAD to get the BX out to clear the driveway.....no way my F150 would make it out with 4" on the ground! :laughing: Good chance to play, actually, and use my urethane snow edge I put on the FEL. I must say, once again, the little BX was a pleasure...

    Poly Blade on a BX FEL for Snow

    Considering adding a 1"x4"x48" urethane (UHMW) strip to the bottom lip of my FEL bucket, for snow clearing on my blacktop drive. Wondering if anyone has done this, and the results they have experienced? They are pricey at ~$100, so wondering if this is my best option.

    1025R w/FEL

    Dealer quoted $14,999 b/f tax, new 2017 1025R with FEL. Seems like a pretty fair price. Opinions? Currently, the Kubota BX2380 is my 1st choice, but the JD price has me thinking.... ($500 more than the Kubota)

    Rear Finish vs Rotary

    Trying to decide which would be a better choice. Advantage I see with the finish mower, I can also get my son to help mow our "good" yard, along with me on the ZTR. Can't do that with a rotary. I think it will also work for the "rough" mowing, as it's really not that rough, just taller, stringy...

    Hello all, new member here! Looking at a new 2017 Kubota BX2380 w/FEL (pinned, not quick-mount), dealer is quoting $14225 before tax. Looks like discounts of about $1000 from MSRP, based on what I can see from the Kubota website. Is this about the norm for Kubota products? I really like the...
