So, I own a Kubota BX series and have had frequent issues with what appears to be build up in the fuel tank (algae or bacteria - depends on who you ask) and subsequent fuel-starving behavior. Changing fuel filters and blowing compressed air back through the fuel line will provide temporary...

Tips for identifying and fixing intermittent power loss on a BX2660? My best guess at this point is algae in the tank and/or lines. But I'm open to other ideas. Power loss intermittent, mostly on inclines, and tends to start within 10-20 minutes of operation. Especially when spinning a brush...

I just spent three hours removing snow and breaking up ice on our looong, hilly gravel driveway. Then I ran a load of garbage to the end of the road with the BX2660, pushed in the parking brake, and hopped off to unload the trash. As soon as I got off, the engine quit. I figured that I must not...

Problem: Bx2660 will not start. Back History: After rotary cutting for about 2 hours, I drove the tractor back to the driveway. I hopped off to do something without thinking, and did not engage the parking brake. Kill switch did it's thing, and engine shut off. I hopped back on to start...

Never even knew there were any around here. My wife called this morning on her way to drop the kids of at school and said they had seen a wild hog off to the side of the road. I did a little bit of a mental eye-roll because I had no clue KY had any, but what she described sure sounded like a...

...or some equivalent. I know its not directly tractor-related (but, you know, trucks can haul tractors), but does anyone know of a good automotive forum? One with generally friendly posters that can give advice on diagnosing and fixing automotive issues? One where the experienced posters...

There are now four Kubotas within a mile of my house (including my BX). At first, it started innocently enough. One of my neighbors has a B model just down the road. Never having been exposed to tractors growing up, I had little immunity to the ravages of Kubotitis. Within six months, I was...

...there's been a shortage of projects well-documented with pictures lately on TBN. :D In order to atone for this dereliction of duty, I post the following... What can I say, I've done a lot of work with my little Kubota, but nothing beats taking land back from the brink after years of disuse...

While running the rotary cutter today, I noticed the throttle lever felt loose compared to the way it normally feels. I also noticed the RPM's start to slowly creep down. Needless to say, it got to be a little aggravating holding the throttle down while using the tractor. After a search here...

While looking over the BX today, I noticed this... There's what I'd call a ball-and-socket joint exposed because the fairly flimsy rubber capsule surrounding it has been mostly torn away. Damage from some serious bush hogging while reclaiming some land is my best guess. Not really sure how...

Just wondering if anyone collects Case knives, and what the best source is for appraising them. I have looked for a good internet source, but can't really find any. Any good books you'd recommend?

Very recently, we lost my FIL after a long illness. While it was "a blessing in disguise", as they say, due to how he had deteriorated so much, he is still very much missed by his family. Among the thousand other things that go on around you when a family has to go through these times, his...

I have been away from the computer for a few days, and when I come back to check for updates to a few TBN threads I was a part of, I get this meesage from one: "To view this thread or threads in this forum your post count must be 500 or greater. You currently have 208 posts." I can't be a...

Anyone have experience with a good NOAA weather radio? I'm looking for one that alerts with tornado warnings ONLY. The one I have now alerts for thunderstorm watches, thunderstorm warnings, tornado watches, tornado warnings, etc. Can't get much sleep at night with this thing going off every...

Not long after joining TBN last year, I was thinking about building a pond. (Still thinking about it...one day, when the stars align and the finances improve, and there's actually enough time, and...) Anyway, I had been doing some research on what to think about before construction, and had...

Anyone have experience with this style of grease gun, or any thoughts as to whether this would be a good alternative to a pricier powered grease gun? I already have a cordless drill, and spending $50 on one of these, vs. $200+ on a powered gun seems tempting. Any thoughts appreciated...

Completed 50-hour maintenance (46.2 hours, actually) today... While checking over the tractor (BX 2660), I see two bolts protruding from the front axle case. One on each side. The one on the left is sticking out about 1/2 inch, the one on the right is out a solid inch. No problem, I'll just...

I've noticed some areas on the bark of several trees on our property. Only on oaks and one hickory that I've seen so far. Any ideas? I noticed some areas like this last year, but seems more prevalent this year... :(

Couldn't resist posting pics of my new SCUT's first job. Its probably ho-hum to most of TBN's experienced tractor aficionados, but as a total tractor novice, I was pretty stoked! First, a couple of pics fresh off the delivery truck, before aquiring some "character" on the paint :D .

Went to Kubota dealer, looked at BX2360 with FEL....talking to dealer, he offered a 2350 (essentially "last year's model") with FEL for $1000 less. Price for the 2350 is $11,500. This seems like a good price to me, but I am a novice to anything larger to riding mowers. Any feedback on this...
