It was a busy week for me and my BX. Mowed, no biggie there, then prepped a pad for my trailer parking next to my shop. Had 10 tons of driveway gravel delivered and used the BX to spread it out, box blade to contour and level it. Over the weekend I used the carryall to pull a trailer and haul...

Just noticed this last night. The 3 spokes from the hub to the outer wheel are cracked. Bought the tractor new March 2016 and until last month it was stored outside with the seat flipped up. Should I contact the dealership about a warranty issue (not sure if this will be covered but can't...

Did some bush hogging and mowing at our hunting property yesterday. Been about 3 months since we have been there so the grass was quite tall. Nothing like driving through 8' tall weeds mixed in with black berry canes. Not kubota related, but also got to do some shootin' with the wife and kids...

I don't find the seat an issue, unless i forget to tilt it up. I usually do, since prior to about a month ago my tractor was stored outside and I didn't like have a wet seat, so out of habit it's flipped up. Filter locations, well, the BX has 2 fuel filters, one is in a really bad spot, IMO...

Thanks Ray Framing started yesterday, should get close to done today if the rain holds off.

Over the weekend I used the FEL and box blade to help back fill the foundation of my new garage, and repair damage to the lawn caused by cement trucks. Just a lot of pick up a load of dirt, dump, then spread it out with the BB. I also, happened to stop work yesterday when the hour meter hit...

Thanks, Already purchased LED tubes. Got them from bee's lighting. Came out to be $32.00 per fixture. 2 LED light tubes and the fixture that has already had the ballast removed. My lights are 5000k, which is what we run in the house (all LED bulbs, daylight - 5000k). Got 10 fixtures with the...

Thanks, The building size was set due to code restrictions on distance from another building and property line. Although, after the survey was complete I found the property line was about 5' farther over than what I had planed. But that being said, where the property line is, no fully marked...

For those still interested we, well the contractor, broke ground yesterday and had the foundation poured today. I'm getting a 24x48 garage/workshop, the wife is getting a 16x35 covered porch setup so that in the future I can frame it in and have a screened in porch. To the right of the...

As did mine. BUT, I did not tighten them down when I had the ROPS down and one fell out, then got hit by the mower on the next pass.:eek: I built a 'new' one using parts from TSC.

Very nice setup there. When I redo mine I may incorporate some of your ideas :)

Thanks guys. Ray - funny thing about the pros. I had to replace the water hydrant in my back yard over the weekend (too far gone for a rebuild kit). While digging it out I found the power line, direct bury, for the well at about 6". I know for a fact that code in this area is 18" for direct...

Thanks all for the input. Had the first contractor out yesterday to give me a quote, haven't heard back yet, figure a day or two before I call them to get the bad news. For those that built your own, what is the general process with inspections, planning,etc.? Getting the funding for this is...

My wife's Subaru was the same way. Don't know how many times I replaced the bulbs. The only problem - the "correct" way to get to the bulb required an additional joint in your arm so you can contort the right way. Total PIA to change the bulbs, both high and low. Last year I was swapping out...

Yes, it is a small world. Had a phone conversation with my mom the other day. She moved to AZ from MN after my father passed (they were snow birds anyway) and she had stopped at a fast food joint for a quick bite. Another couple asked if she was a "snow bird", but she said no, she moved from...
