Just make sure you don't have to replace all your implements with more suitable sized implements, unless you want to. My M4-071 burns about 2.5 gallons/hr pulling a 12' cutter.

I take the connector off my tractor and a connector off the attachment and take them to a hydraulic hose shop. I tell them I need this to fit to this. They always fix me up in a couple of minutes.

I usually buy fertilizer and other products by the pallet and a deck over trailer makes loading from the side a snap. If you ever trailer a wide implement, the deck over gives you more room.

What are the input requirements stated in the manual? I used a 30 amp circuit for my Hobart 180 and it worked fine. For wire size, you need to look at both the amperage requirement plus the distance.

If you are going to tow 10,000# more than a couple of times a year, you need a 3/4 or 1 ton truck, IMO. I don't care what the website advertising says, towing 10k with a 1/2k truck isn't going to be pleasant.

If you haven't already done so, spend an hour with your CPA about what you want to do and he will tell you what you need to do. It will cost about $150 to $300 and be worth every penny. There are so many regulators out there that are just hoping you screw up so they can screw you up. At...

I didn't read all the replies, but if not mentioned before, something should 'give' before the shock stops your engine. You either need to adjust the slip clutch if it is in your driveline or go with a lighter shear pin. The idea is the damage should be non existent or at most the cost of a...

I'm using Cell Fi Go to boost my Visible (Verizon) signal in an area where 2 bars is the average. The Cell Fi boosts the signal to 4 bars, the maximum on my phone. Without the boost, we can talk just fine, but data is terribly slow and video is practically impossible. With the boost we can...

I have a bx2200 with 60" mmm and loader with 950 hrs that I have taken good care of. I figure it's worth about $6000 to $6500. At this point, they have just about stopped depreciating. I'd say if everything works as it should $4000 would be about right.

I bought a long top link hydraulic cylinder from Tractor Supply for about $200 plus the 1/2" hose kit. The hoses didn't fit my B2650 so I took them back. I measured the length I needed needed and took the cylinder/fittings to a local hydraulic shop and they made hoses while I waited. I think...

Sounds like a good opportunity to get rid of a problem.

I put e track on the walls of my cargo trailer. I have a couple of sets of the holders that you can run a 2x4 rail horizonally across the width of the trailer. I think this is the accessory you want to use as a vertical rail with 2x4s? If so, you will be very limited because the strength of...

What TGD said. Those washers lose their 'spring' over time and need to be replaced. They aren't very expensive. If your belt isn't holding the spindle tight enough and the shaft spins when you tighten the nut, put a wrench on the top nut too.

I've had both and I sold my flail. It was slow to cut and a pain to sharpen. The only thing I liked over a brush cutter was the ease to transport on a trailer due to its smaller size. If you want it to look neat, get a finish mower and cut it more regularly.

I worked on reclaiming an old gravel driveway with a heavy 6' box blade behind my Kubota 2650 last week. I got the job done, but it was really too much for the weight and HP of the B. I also pull a 7' rake behind the same tractor and it does a remarkable job. When I have the rake canted to a...

I'm working on our home building plans and we want to put ceiling beams in the great room and kitchen dining area. Recently there was a thread by a guy building his home and he found an economical source for faux beams made out of foam or some plastic. He had some pictures of them and they...

Hey guys, I need to find the next best thing to having Morton Buildings build me a hobby shop/barn. I have talked to a couple of metal building contractors but they just want to build an uninsulated barn. I need something insulated with the possibility of installing HVAC if it gets...

I'm getting ready to start a 5000 sf Morton building on a 5800 sf pad. The 800 additional is porch. Morton wants to erect the building on dirt/gravel and then have the slab poured after they are gone. I watched a video of a family putting up a Morton, and they rented a vibratory sheepsfoot to...

We recently bought some property in Birchwood Tennessee (near Chattanooga) where we will build our retirement home and hobby building. It will be a while before we start the home but I have a builder who is interested in starting the hobby building in about 2 months. Here is what we want: A...

My FIL died a few months ago and I'm helping out my MIL with farm maintenance. Yesterday, she asked me to put out a round hay bale for the cows. I got the hay out and on the way back to the barn I noticed a red light flashing on the dash. I get a series of really fast flashes that are hard to...

I bought a TM1900 from Agri Supply and used it about 8 hrs last weekend to mow 12 food plots which averaged about an acre each. This is the first time this year the plots have been mowed and they consisted of mostly bitterweed, briars, johnson grass, and wheat/oat stubble. I have a Bota 3940...

I just purchased a tm 1900 and I'm anticipating burning up my belts sometime in the future and want to go ahead and purchase replacement hi temp hi quality belts. The factory belts are 42" 21/32". I went to advanced auto and the closest match they could make was a 3/4" belt. 3/4" is 24/32 or...

There is a backhoe for a bx 23 on the pensacola craigslist for $1800. Looks like it might be a good buy for somebody. I don't know them nor I have I seen it so I can't give you any info on it.

I'm suffering from the dreaded steering issue where you turn the steering wheel and the front end doesn't respond. Thanks to discussions on identifying the problem here, I'm sure it's an O ring in the steering piston that is allowing fluid to leak past the ring. I have 505 hrs on my tractor...

I've been following the 60+ page thread on flail mowers and decided that I want one, but I want one of the economical units which appear to be the Caroni for about $2400 or so and the chinese Betstco sold on ebay for about $1350. Locally I've found the alamo and other brands to be about $4000...

I have a L3940 that isn't at the house and I'm making some clamp on pallet forks at the house. I have the LA724 loader w/ the quick attach round 72" HD bucket. I don't have the cutting edge or toothbar installed. I'm trying to figger out how far the pallet forks should extend both into and...

I just bought a L3940 with the standard Kubota sunshade. The dealer told me I should trailer the tractor facing backwards to prevent the sunshade from peeling back and coming off. The shade has 2 tubular steel frames that run forward from the rops and the fiberglass shade attaches w/ bolts in...

Can anyone tell me the difference in the standard sunshade and deluxe sunshade and if the deluxe w/ lights has the lights mounted inboard where I won't scrape them off on a limb?

I have a bx2200, mmm 60", fel, 500 hrs. I use it for mowing our 2 ac and it has been a huge help in keeping my place up. I have quite a bit of landscaping to go around and under, but I can mow it in about 2 hrs. I love that little guy although he's always a little shy of size w/ 3 pt...

I am seriously considering upgrading from my bx2200 to a b3030. My only issue besides cost is whether I can transport it w/ my little 6 cyl suv/dual axle 5000 lb trailer w/ brakes. I have no problems w/ the b2200 w/ bucket and 400 lbs of counter weight on the back. We have no hills in...

I may (or may not) buy a 3030. I have a bx 2200 and have been toying all summer w/ the idea of upgrading to a more powerful tractor. My dealer finally got a shipment of 3030's and I am thinking to test drive one. I was talking to the salesman about his inventory and he said he has 3 3030's w/...

I built 4, 4'x4'x7' shooting blinds. They are constructed of 2x4's and 1/2" plywood and weigh about 450 lbs each. Each corner has 1' of 3x3 angle iron bolted on the base w/ a 4"x4" iron tube on it. The tube is welded on vertically so a 5' 4x4 post (leg) will slide into the tube and the thing...

I'm looking for a high quality tow behind spreader that has a heavy duty gearbox and the ability to disengage the driving wheel. I really like the tuf line bio logic spreader (@600 lb capacity and $1000-$1200) but only need about 300 lb and want to spend about 1/2 that amount. Any suggestions?

I have had a bx2200, 60" mmm, and fel that has served me very well for the last 4 yrs and 360 hrs. It does a great job of nimbly mowing my 2 acres and a pretty good job of everything else. I bet I have moved at least 150 cy of dirt/sand. I use it 90% for mowing and 10% other. It's the 10%...

Here is my version of a reciever hitch for a bx2200. It has a 6" receiver tube purchased from a hitch shop, 18" of 2"x 1/4" tube, and 12" of 2"x 1/4" bar I picked up from a scrap steel dealer. It weighs about 20 lbs and bolts onto a cat 1 drawbar. I slide a cargo carrier purchased for $60...

I have a BX2200 w/ the 60" mmm. My deck cuts one side a bit lower than the other so last nite I decided to pull the deck off, sharpen the blades, grease, and generally clean it up, figger out how it works, and get the thing properly adjusted. The directions say to first adjust the front...

This is a 4" dia. sycamore tree that I have been wanting to get rid of for some time. I cut the tree down and left about 2' of stump. I pushed the stump at the 2' level w/ the fel from 3 sides and the stump gave up. Took maybe 3 minutes. I have sandy soil. I was impressed. BX2200 1, Stump...

Tonite I took the FEL off just to see how long it would take me and how difficult (It took about 10 min.). I found that the dealer put 2 quick disconnects on the side of the tractor and one on the fel which leaves about a foot of hose dangling on the side of the tractor when the fel is off. I...

My bx2200 arrived Saturday before lunch w/ FEL and 60" mmm. Tiller is still on order. A/ lunch my wife asked me to show her how it worked and asked if the FEL was going to stay on or off for mowing. I showed her how everything worked and told her the fel shouldn't be too much of a problem for...

Does anyone make a power washer for a PTO and 3 pt hitch? Seems like you could have one bad bass power washer running off even the smallest tractor. mark

I bought a BX2200 this weekend. For those comparing prices, this is what I found on a BX2200, turf tires, FEL, 60" mmm: tractorsmart $12,250 FOB, Carver $12,315 delivered, local $12,200 delivered plus tax. I went local and got the grill guard (which is sometimes included w/ the FEL quote...
