Paul, I must say that im taken back by your talent and also your visions. I had a Kubota L2350 quite a few years ago and looking back should have never sold it, nonetheless I am pleased with my little Ford 1210. I find myself glued to this thred because not only are the mods that you have made useful but are better than factory. From a former Kubota owner I must say thank you for the pictures and video of all of your mods. I plan on using some of your ideas for my tractor too.
thanks, Jimmy

Hey Jimmy thank you. I appreciate YOU taking the time to post your comments. As I said in this tread before, if no one comments I just assume no one is either watching or interested. At least I now know there's four or five of you and others out their watching
I've got four more mods planned for the little BX and I rate them as follows:
Mod #1. Safety feature
Mod #2. The most unpractical one but its got the cool factor
Mod #3. A handy usable item. (A lot of fabrication involved)
Mod #4. Fast and efficient.(A lot of fabrication involved)
Some of these will take awhile because of my workload right now but they will happen. Two of them will happen faster than the other two so stay tuned
Thanks again Jimmy. :thumbsup:

I am sure the "others" is far more than the four or five. It is likely a good thing everyone isn't replying or you would never get any mods done if you took the time to reply to each one.

Compare your 2 quotes Paul. We've got 30 pages more on this thread since you said you were done.
We knew it wasn't gonna happen and told you so.

It was a mix of trees. It's been so many years ago since the work was originally done, but I believe there were some oak, birch, and probably mostly ash stumps (since that's what seems to be the most prevalent trees in my yard.) Honestly, it never dawned on me at the time that this would happen or else I would have just dug them out with the mini excavator.

Easy now, don't challenge Paul or he might change his mind and stop. It takes a lot of time on his part and we do appreciate his efforts. We might be green with envy, but that is beside the point!

Called the Deere dealer.
Cat1 Imatch is $340 + $50/set of bushings.
Are the Speeco / HF bushings compatable with imatch? Are they a good, tight fit or do they have lots of slop? Nobody likes a loose fit!

That is a fair price especially what you guys get chraged in Canada. You can use any bushings. You need to adapt the toplink and lift arms to cat 3. These kind even work, you just need to got to 2-3 also. http://www.farmandfleet.com/product...tegory-1-2-lift-arm-bushing.html#.UadmJlXD_GU
My imatch came with a bushing zip tied to the lower link latches. The bushings in my QH video came from northern tool.

Thank you farmgirl. I appreciate that :thumbsup:
So true. I do tend to try and answer them all. There may be times I'll miss one
Well Glenn if you've been screeched in then your as good as family! :laughing: Are you enjoying your chipper? Great to read your enjoying the thread. Thanks for posting.

Well 30 pages ago I was really done BUT folks kept asking questions and as I said above, I try and respond to all of them so the thread continued. I didn't anticipate this much interest in mods related to the Kubota BX25 so I kind of got blindsided with all the interest and time its taken up but if the interest continues I'll keep posting. The BX model is a mod wonder. Every time I look at the thing I see other opportunities :confused3:
I apologize to those ( if there are any) that feel this thread is getting a little long in the tooth.

Thank you my friend. I appreciate that. Yup. That's what it takes ( I hate talking to myself) A new mod will be posted this afternoon so don't change the channel

One of the items I really missed on the little BX was mirrors. The Grand L has great mirrors and I use them. Since I have 50 hours on the BX and just finished its first service I realized from the get go that I needed to put mirrors on the little beast.
Now I'll be honest I'm not a Hugh fan of mirrors on an open station tractor but seeing I miss having them I set out to try and find something that sort of looks as if it came with the machine. I spent hours looking and trying to imagine how each mirror would look and came up with these.
They were purchased off of eBay (see attached link) and I feel they fit the bill for what I was trying to accomplish. They are for a golf cart, they tip in and out of the way if need be. They swivel up and down with their ball and socket design. They came with all the brackets, stainless steel nuts,bolts and washers. The install was less than a 1/2 hour. I removed the FEL decal on the right side and re-located to the side of the FEL tube. I did have to drill four 15/64th holes but I didn't mind doing that for this mod. I did add the two small convex mirrors and the Kubota decals but all in all I'm happy with them.
The vibration is minimal as well and they are colored matched like the BX's dash so that was a bonus as well.
This is the safety mod I intended to do. Its simple, inexpensive and practical in my opinion. I'm posting this just in case other BX owners were looking for a mirror set up.
The next mod will be a little more expensive. Unpractical and got nothing to do with safety but its that cool factor I'm talk'in about
Hope you all enjoy seeing it
