    BX landpride grapple repairs and modifications

    So this is my third and hopefully last hinge repair on my grapple. I've ripped the hinge off the frame, and bent the strut on the jaws...mostly on the left side. The hinges on the frame finally wallered out and this is what I did to fix it.

    RTV900...bought one on auction...

    So I bought a 2011 RTV900W9 with 1400 hrs on it for $2500 on an auction site. I think I got a good deal. They didn't start it...no key...so they have no idea if it works. But! And I did confirm this...thanks Messicks parts gods...it uses the same key as my BX25D. So... tomorrow me and my...

    Oops I did it again...

    And the POS Land Shame (Pride) grapple broke again. Although this one was all my fault...my original weld job didn't penetrate. All welded again...more heat...more wire... amazing how your welding improves in a couple of years. And I fixed my missing tooth...we work this poor thing hard!

    Shout out to Brotek's excellent customer service...

    My BX25D has a much abused Brotek skid plate... apparently the bolts worked loose...my wife had a puzzled look on her face when the plate was folded at a 90 angle under the tractor...stomped it flat...two trips into town looking for the right size bolts...emailed Brotek on a Sunday night and...

    BX25D Starter problems...

    Neighbor texted me and said my 2015 BX25D wouldn't start (1348 hrs)...even with my emergency bypass switch directly engaging the starter. Went next door. Checked battery voltage. 12.8. Fuel relay clicks...glow plug...fuel pump...can hear all of them. Popped off the front cowl. Didn't have a...

    BX25D...WR Long grapple o-rings

    Anyone know the size or type of o-rings that go on the fittings? 4 hours at the dealer and a call to WR resulted in a Kubota part that blew in less than an hour.

    BX25D cutting out...

    My BX25D was cutting out going uphill...changed the fuel filters...same issue. Figured something was in the tank...so...good news is there wasn't much corrosion on the fuel sender. Bad news is someone (not me) dropped a foil seal in the tank. Anyone know where to get a screen for the tank? Too...

    BX25D rim failure

    975 hours...I'm guessing it's because we added tubes to the front tires...instead of breaking the bead on the tire this happened...as my friend said...you reinforce one thing and something else in the chain will break...

    BX quick attach tow bar

    My forks, bucket and grapple are all BX quick attach...and I wanted a very minimal tow attachment...minimum weight and as close to the tractor to maximize lift and minimize stress. This is what me and my father in law, Tom built...we basically copied the 2x3 base of the lands pride grapple...

    Hearing Protection/Radio

    Not quite an attachment or an implement...but this seemed like a place for this question... I always wear hearing protection (ear pro). My personal preference is the over the ear muff...I don't like foam things shoved in my ears all day. My friend Bob recently purchased a Kubota. We've been...

    BX25 800 hrs - valve lash adjustment

    So my BX25D-1 is about ready to roll over to 800 hours. Manual says to perform a valve lash service. Not very happy with my local dealer. This time of year the tractor could be down for two weeks waiting on them... How important is this...and I assume this involves a feeler gauge...time to...

    BX25 cuts out when HST is engaged...

    2014 Kubota BX25D-2 - 720 hrs. Starts just fine. When we press the forward petal on the HST the tractor starts to cut out and dies if we continue to press the petal. If we disconnect the fuel cutoff on top of the engine it runs just fine. The seat switch is already jumpered. The PTO switch is...
