Never mind, just looked them up and saw that they were a bigger pad like I made. I was talking about a pair of rubber pads for concrete.

When I purchased my BX-25 about 7 years ago I bought the "pads" for concrete and black top from Kubota. Put them on and they sank too much in the mud. Modified the original pad for more surface area and have never put the pads back on. But I have not needed to be on the black top to dig either...

I'm guessing sucking air and cavitating. May have sucked some air because of bad suction line and then took the pump out. I don't know how to check that except disassemble pump and inspect or replace. I have seen bad pumps that are cavitating heat up quick, like after two minutes of idling they...

x2 here. Wouldn't budge without loosening bolts, but they are lock nuts so when you get them loose enough to lower ROPS, leave them adjusted there. They become a pivot pin.

Pressure and volume are two different things. The shim kit increases the pressure that your pump puts out, that does not increase the volume of fluid that it moves. Maybe run it at a higher RPM? That will increase the volume up to the point that you are now limited by the fitting sizes and hoses.

Nice! I love re-purposing.

Went to BXpaneded, a little more than I want to spend. I only have a couple more stumps on the property to get out and not getting the ripper doesn't meen I won't get them out, just that it will take a bit more. Haven't got a chance to get back out there, it's been raining all week. I don't like...

Copy that, thx for the advise, heading to bxpanded. I have already bought there back hoe cart and cutting edge for the bucket. Quality stuff.

My problem is that I am dealing with Douglas Fir. I have to dig down to the roots before I could try and rip them.

How long does it take to switch from the bucket?

The last one I dug that size took a bit to get it out of the hole, and once I did I just rolled it to the burn pile. Come to think of it, that was about four years ago and there is still some left in the burn pile. I just keep working it down. I'm sure it would burn better if I covered it...

Anyone ever try this? I'm about to go dig a stump that kicked my butt two years ago. This time the ground is a little wetter and I sharpened the side of the bucket. Got some good bites on some of the old Doug Fir roots but the little BX just doesn't have enough power to rip them out. Granted...

Ask and you shall receive. This is just cracked open, otherwise I get soaked with out the mower parked on top

Not sure if you have the room to do it, but my well is next to a storage shed. I measured how far between the spindles for the blades and built a little manifold out of copper tubing with pipe caps at the end that I drilled at a 45 degree angle. basically a sprinkler head with alot more volume...

Yep, been feeding them for three weeks now

Thanks for the advice. I'm a pretty good welder but when I talked to the shop about cutting it down, they explained that it was not just welding a tube onto a yoke. There is a spud off of the yoke that helps strengthen the drive line. At that point I asked how much to have them do it and he said...

Poor planning on my part. I had to get it shortened and took it to a local shop. Didn't think about it at the time. Now, I would have to have it modified for more money, I know, it's the right way to do it. I'll probably get it done at some point. Anyone know how much a new drive line is with a...

Picked up this old tiller for my BX. Front end was kind of light so I fabricated a mount for the suitcase weights. The old owner had it on a JD so I had to shorten the drive line for the PTO. Playing with fire with no shear pin but I only do my property so I know what there. Still on the list...

Got a BX25 here with BH. If you are looking at cost, there are many used back hoes out there from people that bought there machine, did there jobs on the property and just no longer have a use for the hoe.

Was it cleaned at the 50 hour service? If so, something may be up. If not, pinch some between your fingers. If it's all just super fine stuff, call it break in stuff, clean and move on. If you have chunks you can feel, that's not good.
