In the market for a rotary tiller for mom's BX1800. Our dealer gave my mom a quote for a 42" and 50". Saying both would work on the BX(he is our Kubota dealer). So I'm trusting they would fit the "limited" hitch. No front ballast required(no loader on BX). I'm leaning toward the 50" since it...

As a member of the Yankee Air Force, my heart is heavy with the loss we suffered last night. Our hangar burned to the ground. The hangar was built in 1941 when Henry Ford built Willow Run Airport for the production of the B-24 Liberator. Unfortunately the all wood structure didn't stand a...

My parent's L3830 has just reached 50hrs and I'm ready to take care of the required service. Called my dealer to pick his brain and he shared something which confused me. He said they don't change the hydraulic fluid at 50 hrs as long as it is "clean".......only the engine oil/hydraulic...

I'm probably gonna finalize a deal on a BX22 this week. What manuals should come with a new tractor purchase? What manuals would be considered extra cost? I would think an "operators" manual would be included for the tractor, loader, backhoe, and mid mount mower. Are there service or parts...

Good Morning All - I know painting aluminum siding is a bit tricky and can fail quickly if it's not prepped correctly. What is the PROPER way to prep it for paint? Is there some kind of cleaning/etching product to help with the adhesion of the paint to the aluminum? Thanks C

I've been thinking(dangerous in itself) there may be times I may want to do loader work w/o the BH attached. Some type of rear weight may/will be required. Any opinions on what should be used? As you can see from my profile I have most implements I need for use with my Cubs. The only thing...

My '49 Cub.

Been speaking to a couple dealers regarding the purchase of a BX22. During discussions of the 3-way vs. 4-way loader valves, one dealer used the word "floppy" to describe loader action sometimes with the 4-way valve. He said he doesn't like the 4-way valve. The second dealer seemed to concur...

Hi all... I'm currently looking for some rural property in SE Michigan(minimum 10 acres). What I am seeing is many properties either grant or receive ingress/egress easements. I have a good working knowledge of real estate transactions. Besides hoping you get along with the grantor or...

Reading my new "Red Power" magazine last night and an article mentioned that McCormick sells 20 to 40hp tractors in Europe. The article also mentioned they may be coming to the US with that size tractor "in the near future." Is this a compact tractor? My Cubs are looking for a new playmate...
