Lots of folk said "now it won't snow for the rest of the year etc." Hahaha, they were wrong.....it didn't snow anything measureable for three years. I got to use the salt spreader a few times but that is not much fun TBH. Looks like I'm gonna be able to get my new 3 year old weapon out...

Well, I think I have purchased only one HVAC in my life and sold my house recently thereafter. It was dual fuel goodman. My house is all electric so I will be replacing a Rheem 5 ton heat pump. Not sure what the seer rating is but the compressor is "kaput". I had a leak in the coil anyway so...

Just finished my job. TEN 80 lb bags (800 pounds) of Quickrete mixed up in the little BX bucket. Piece of cake. As soon as I finished the pour I drove over to my woods and dumped a tiny bit of leftover concrete out and drug the hose over, rinsed and not a singe grain of concrete in the...

I borrowed a buddy's wheel barrel to mix up 8 eighty pound bags of concrete the other night. I need to mix up about 11 more bags. He took his wheel barrel. I do not own a wheel barrel and would rather not buy one for this project as my bucket on my BX23s is my everyday wheel barrel. Anyway...

Been a while since I started this thread but I want to keep it going...it was a great thread for me with lots of participation from many pilots on TBN. I have right at 175 hours now and finished my check ride in October. I bought that 50 year old 182 that you can see earlier in this thread...

Here she is.....

Thanks to everyone's contribution to the other thread. I have started this thread to document my progress (or not) of getting my private pilot's license. I found an instructor who will fit my country boy profile to the "T". He grew up in a crop dusting family. Been flying since he was legal...

Not sure if my best, but one of my favorites. Plantin corn for my whitetails....

Oh, hey...you don't have to get the cube lights to replace the factor work lights. I actually opened the factory work lights on my Kubota and placed aftermarket LED bulbs that blaze the night in the housing.....Pretty neat setup. The Kubota factory housings for their cab tractors on the newer...

To the 1 or 2 people following this thread....I have FINALLY figured out a solution to the top work lights. If you all think this is worth posting in a another thread let me know and I will for future Grand Cab Owners. I origiginaly cracked open the factory housing and purchased some H3 LED...

Thanks....and you just gave some amazing advice yourself. Everyone want to use their tractors to spread fertilizer....but I spread 200 lbs of fertilizer in this spreader Sunday over an acre in 20 minutes from start to finish....that included cutting open bags pouring in etc. etc. This thing is...

Okay, so a friend (more of an acquaintance) of mine got his pilots license. He first started with a Cherokee 180 which he still owns. He also bought a Piper 6-300. He put instruments equipment on the 180 and is learning to get is instrument license. Anyway, none of that matter except in...

I bought this used....so I don't think the previous owner ever did anything to it. But as you can see in the photos it slicked up really really nice....It is a 2013 with 320 hours on it....it slicked up and is more shiny than my 2017 BX 23s sitting right next to it with 28 hours. They are...

So I have been "loving" on this tractor some here at the house before she goes and lives at the farm permanently..... Can ya'll tell the before and after pic of the polish? I am sorry but you absolutely have to click on the picture to get it to turn right. Before After

Yes, you can....I said that earlier in this thread you can swap them out. It was post #20 as a direct reply to you. Here is the completed project of me swapping out my factory flashers for LED rear lights. Af first I used 20 watt cube lights but switched them out and went with round 30 watt...

Update...this is the 35 watt H3 bulb that lives in the factory front work lights......the housing of these work lights are not large enough to hold the LED lights that have the built in fans....those fans are to keep the bulbs cool they are so stinking bright. So I found an H3 LED bulb that...

Just so happens I just worked this project yesterday and this morning a little. My switch came in from Messicks yesterday. The rear work lights wiring harness that you want to tap into so that you can install your rear lights....it is taped up in black electrical tape along with the rear...

I'm sorry....I guess I didn't catch that you do not already own a tractor or bobcat...... But yes, for 1.5-2.0 acres....if you went to Sunbelt Rentals and rented a Bobcat along with their power rake and trailer (they will also deliver) on a Friday evening....woke up saturday morning and got to...

Oh yes....cool....I didn't even notice that they were so easy to remove..Here are the adapters I fished out of there.....I did read a few different manuals today trying to figure some things out to decrease all my newbie questions...But that is handy it is all wired up already. I'll definitely...

Two wires with female spade adapters inside the cab in the rear up close to the caution lights...what are they? I put a volt meter on them with the front lights on and the flashers on.....along with the key switch on...not voltage.

I'm a little embarrassed to say I put some tire shine and buffed it out today....it was pretty faded...I think the previous owner stored it outside....I will get it dirty soon enough but while she's in here with these other garage queens before she goes out to the farm I'll let her wear her...

Cool. I like those sprayers. Mine is a F/S UTV Sprayer...I would suggest the OP to look at any of the sprayers posted. They are great and hold a large amount of spray. I have a 20 foot boom and wand with 100 feet of hose that allows me to spray like Tru-Greens when I want to put it on. The...

This happened today....

Oh yes, these are great. I have the MEP 803A I believe...I should probably start a new thread. Actually they are not that pretty on the outside, but the inside is just beautiful. Such a powerhouse 1,800 RPM diesel generator that sips fuel and will run most houses. Way underrated these things...

Here ya go Birdman....she fits...with some room to spare. I'm not traveling across country or anything, but 10-15 miles she pulled great. Won't take long for me to screw up my ramp/gate. Edit: pics are always upside down in thumbnails but fix when you click on them.....grrr.....

I have a little wireless remote and my spray tips have check valves so when I turn it off they don't leak. Still on same motor since 2009. I have used this sprayer on all sorts of different machines but I think with my lil BX this will work best.

As promised here are some pics and thoughts...I received the DR Stump grinder today. Got it inside and put oil and gas in it and took it to a stump to test it out. I am pleased with it. It is not near as good as the rental I used but that thing is a 15 thousand dollar stump grinder. And it...

Was wondering how many of you run your grapple from your rear remotes? On my BX I have the 3rd function diverter valve. On my 5740 I am debating dropping the thousand bucks for the 3rd function....but then I was thinking maybe I would just use the rear remotes for now? The 5740 will not be...

Here are some measurements. You can get whatever you want on the side....this is what they had on display so I didn't get to choose....actually worked out well cause wifey doesn't like my redeck stuff.... About $600 with TN tax is what I paid to keep them from having to haul it back. Fire...

So the people who make the Firminator implements also make really nice fire pits. I bought one of their display models this weekend at the NWTF convention in Nashville. This thing is heavy. The old LP fire pit benches and table were burned in the new fire pit....kinda mean to do that I...

Thowle....see you are from KY....I am as well. The power rake is an amazing tool for what you are wanting to do. If you have time you can just power rake you lawn as soon as it dries up. Let the vegetation die out, and rake some more until you get a nice seed bed. According to a fella who...

So I am trading a 2004 M6800 Cab and 15 foot batwing for a pre-emissions 2013 L5740 and 12 foot batwing. Both batwings are Landpride. I am looking forward to HST vs Hydro Shuttle. I wanted this tractor (or the L6060) from the beginning and allowed some buddies to talk me out of it. I was a...

So I have started to read the threads about PTO chippers and these things have my attention. Particularly the Woodmaxx Hydro for my lil BX 23s tractor..... Here is my question. I have a grapple that I take limbs and brush and carry it to my brush pile and burn the brush pile when it gets big...

Here is my old gal at 44 years old. She gets put to work every summer with a 6 foot cutter, maybe spread some fertilizer and a 10 foot disc. Hour meter works and says 2,300 hours or so. The Kubota is a 2004 with roughly 500 or so hours. I like my Kubota but would prefer the L Grand series...

Good morning....changed my fuel filter on my grasshopper 928D zero turn mower last night. I need to bleed the air out of the system. What is best way to do this? It has a Kubota D1105 engine in it. Oh, also I changed the oil in it and it says the capacity is 1.35 gallons. So that is a...

About a month ago I brought up in a thread on here a DR Power Kinetic Log Splitter vs a Home Depot log splitter. I went with the DR Power and couldn't be happier with it. It's a little splitting beast. Please remember this....... I am an OCCASIONAL use user. Anyway, back in 2013 I was...

I'll be sure to take note of that as well when I use it for the first time. Purchased a pallet of salt yesterday and some of those hand container spreader things for our door entrances.

New weapon....

Guess I'll be plowing like a Boss now!!

Here is an image of alfalfa field prep by me a few years ago.

So I can't say enough about how well my Chinese made UTV plow did this last storm. I plowed quite a bit of driveways, my entire neighborhood streets and an elementary school. The school is 12 miles away which is a bit far to drive a UTV to with a plow on the state highway. I didn't feel like...

So I don't split a lot of wood, mostly blowdowns that get in the way or fall in my field or trees I am ready to remove that are still standing but dead here at the house. I split it with my Fiskar's X27 after cutting into manageable rounds. I have the itch for an electric splitter. I just DO...

You all have helped me tremendously on your thoughts and opinions with vehicle mileage reports and cordless power tool choices. Thinking about these cordless power tools also got me to thinking.....what tools should I keep in my truck? The Milwaukee M12 screwdriver drill I bought is very...

Let's see her. Attached are some photos of my old beauty doing some work in the field with another old IH Disc and Packer... You have to click on it to make it look right.

So I went in to rural king after xmas to purchase a dewalt battery powered grease gun. They had an 18v and a 20v. All my stuff (only 2 items - 1 drill 1 impact) is 18v...do you make the investment in your older nicad 18v system or do you buy and move forward with the lithium 20v which has more...

Historically (in my 43 years of living) I have been one who will get the itch and trade before my vehicle was worn out and buy a newer one. I have never bought a new vehicle for myself. However, I typically trade after owning for around 5 years because I will get the itch. The last time I...

Got another BXpanded tool for Christmas today. Was surprised the wife actually went through with it and purchased something for the tractor for me for Christmas....it is another handy quality product that I will use frequently.

No snowblower on it...I had a sweeper which was fantastic for 6 inches or less of snow. I worked 2 storms that had around 2 feet of powder. I got through it, but it took a while. This thing shines on sidewalks and small driveways. I ended up selling it the sweeper.

My weapon!!

Here is a picture of my Bota's....1 picture of them posing and one picture of them working. Little guy doing some yard work on some apartments I built this summer as well as posing with the awesome land pride grapple... Big guy posing with his new batwing as well as his very old...

This is definitely the wrong season for me to be posting about spraying weeds....probably will get no action on this thread, but maybe next spring when everyone is thinking about their lawns and food plots you can refer to this awesome little setup and great little company to wake up your...

Just get out there and let it eat!

I just ran up on this. This is a dealer ad. You get.....Tractor, loader, backhoe, 60 mid mount mower, brand new 16 foot trailer, tie downs, and a pressure washer. $18,600 - WOW what is the catch? I just bought my little BX23s and I got a good deal on it (for a kubota) for $18,900 with...

Looking for a good used Kubota BX 60 inch deck used or new to go on my 2017 BX23s. Let me know if you have anything. Kubota RCK60B-23BX - I believe this might be the correct number. Have cash.

I didn't catch what your tractor is but the new 80 series BX has pre drilled holes in the ROPS and I mounted 2 forward and 2 rear facing lights with a remote on/off switch.

So I am searching for a SSQA 60 or 72 inch plow for my little BX. I have the third function so a hydro angle would be nice. I priced the land pride 60 inch with SSQA hookup today for $2,100 out the door with hoses, poly wear bar, rubber flap, and markers. Anyone have any good suggestions as...

So I know the kit is not for the new 23s that uses flat face couplers. However I have the front 3rd function which uses the traditional pioneer couplers so I ordered it anyway. For the life of me I cannot get this thing attached. What am I missing. Everything measures appropriate it seems...

Thanks everyone. Here is what I ended up doing for now. Not sure I will keep it this way or not. I basically purchased a wiring harness that ties directly to your battery. It is fused and has a relay with a switch an connectors for the lights. I think they make it as dummy proof as they...

Cannot find these little buggars anywhere! I know someone can point me to them quickly. I also see no reference to them in the manual but do see the fuse for "work lights". Anyone know where they are on the new 80 series BX?????

So in 2010 I finally broke down and bought a Polaris Ranger side by side after wanting one for years. I actually sold a business I had and just used a small part of the proceeds and bought myself the 800 HD Model. Ended up putting a steel full cab on it and all sorts of otters stuff. It has...

Did some work with the Land Pride Kubota BX matched grapple today. I have had a Bobcat T190, and I currently own a M6800 with loader Kubota. Even with a heavy duty piece of construction equipment like my T190 was, this little BX just amazes me. I had no idea you could get so much work done...

As promised a few photos of my new grapple. There are a few threads on here about grapples for the new SSQA kubota BX series. I have found two manufacturers who make lightweight grapples for the kubota bx. The Land Pride weighs the least amount coming in at 180 lbs. I am very satisfied with...

Well, I was able to touch my Land Pride 54 inch SSQA grapple for my lil BX. The holdup was on the 3rd function which is now in and being installed as we speak. I should have my tractor and grapple on Thursday. Stay tuned everyone, I think I am only 1 of 2 people on here who have the 54 inch...

So I have read all the threads about dump trailers.....I am not sure what new I can glean by starting my own thread here, but I just have to do it. Bottom line is this. 10 footer more handy will load less, 14 footer holds more less handy. By handy I mean around the yard and farm in tight...

Mine, has a project going on now...

I'm not a big sign guy, but picked this up yesterday where a former dealer is closing his shop. Thought it would be good for the garage. I have no idea why my thumbnails are always upside or sideways, but if you click it turns correctly.

So I have the GS2584 - 7 foot heavy land pride grader scraper for my big tractor. The thing is just amazing. However, I am now considering purchasing another one for my little tractor. I am torn between the 5 foot GS0560 or the 5 foot GS1560. The 05 series is made for BX tractors I believe...

Since I have the SSQA that Kubota came out with this year, the 48 inch wicked grapple is off the table. So that leaves me the wicked 55 inch 208lb clamshell type root rake grapple, and the 50 inch root grapple that has one cylinder that weighs 274 lbs. The latter root grapple looks just like...

I bought a 6 foot ratchet rake a few years back for my Bobcat T190 Skid Steer that had a 6 foot bucket. I sold the skid steer and kept the ratchet rake and was wondering if you can cut the ratchet rake down to a size that will fit my little BX23s 4 foot bucket? If so, what is best method of...

You are correct. That is what was happening. I found out today during my research on the Pat's Easy Change that Rural King carries the product. Rural King is 2 miles from my house. They had 3 in stock and would allow me to return if it did not resolve my problem. As you can see it did...

I tried and tried to hook up my new to me Frontier rotary cutter to my BX23s 3PH. Any ideas? I loosened the 3ph arms to where they would spread apart to their maximum width. If I turn the pins inside the brackets on the frontier 2048 will not allow you to hook up that way. I just can't...

Good morning everyone, just posting up what followed me home from the dealer yesterday. Got the 3rd function remote, 48 inch LP BB, and backhoe. This is my first SCUT. Going to use it on the rental properties and around house. Been interested in one of these things for years.

Is it plastic or fiberglass? I have a 2004 model and looking to try to get that orange luster back. The hood looks great but I went on ahead and gave it a coat of Liquid Glass. Anyone know what the material is on the cab top and fenders?

Not sure what thread this belongs in to gain the most attention for advice?ut I will try here. I have a verbal deal on this tractor. Supposed to be delivered on Saturday. It has 506 hours with the hydro reverser. I do not know a ton about this particular model or what a fair price is. It...

I have a 2010 Polaris Ranger as well, but for some reason I find this big red awfully handy. Turns on a dime, gets in tight places….like zero turn mower. Plus it reminds me of my childhood which is a great added bonus. Bought my son a 70 for Christmas.

Just brought her home yesterday. 1995 JD 6400 with a 620 Loader. 3,100 hours. What you all know about these?

I had debated on what to get for my T190. I looked at these things until my eyes couldn't take it anymore. Called and got prices on all of them. Was settled on a Wildkat HD 72 inch for $1,950 to my door. Made a stop to give another local "lightweight grapple" one last look over before I...

Was quoted a 2012 U5030c with loader for $30,000. What is retail? How does that sound? Open station, same tractor was quoted $25,000.

So I'm about to purchase a grapple and most of what I am reading are about compact tractor owners who are worried about reducing their lift capacity of their machines. What is a good weight for the T190. For example, I am looking at a WildKat HD 72" root grapple. It weighs 920 pounds. What...

Picked this tractor up last week. What a smooth old tractor. Will be using it for food plots on my 16 acre field on my 102 acre farm. Anyone ever own one of these? I have found several local people who have owned them in the past and some still do. Any comments? Anyway, its my first...
