    sharpening backhoe bucket

    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...

    Lets see those tiller machine pics

    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...

    Fighting the algae

    Bought the tractor new, bought new fuel cans, treated with Sta-bul for desiel and after two years, still got the growth. I just can't bring myself to store the tractor over the Winter with just a little in the tank and none on hand in a can. I was a boy scout, what happened to being prepared...

    Back hoe pad extentions

    I did this for my BX25. A friend just bought one so I had to do his also. Really helps with the flotation in the soft ground.

    Brush forks for my BX

    Still way too wet to till the garden so I made a brush fork for my little BX out of some scrap 3/4 rebar. A coat of paint and it's ready to try out.

    FS1020 how to check the oil?

    Just bought a used Kubota tiller FS1020. The chain box has a plug about 1/3 the way up. I assume it's the level plug and the one at the top is a fill plug. Oil is OK in both. The gearbox for the PTO is mounted on the top and has a drain plug on the front under the input shaft from the PTO at the...

    BX25 towing

    Think this should do it? Not really asking, just wanted to brag. Picked it up this morning. Ordered it 105 days ago and its been a long wait. 2.8 Duramax 4x4 that will tow 7,600lbs. Oh yea, and I get 33 mpg at 63 mph. I have been waiting YEARS for them to finally come out with this kind of...

    Christmas list

    Well, the wife kept asking what I wanted for Christmas so I made a shortcut on the desktop to BXPanded's web site with the Piranha bar. So far I have not read a negative comment, unless you count learning to be very aware of the angle of the bucket so you don't scalp everything. She said her...

    Backhoe dolly measurements.

    I have been looking at the BXpanded backhoe dolly for my BX25D and for $180, I finally decided to pull the trigger. Went to order it and found out it will be $60 shipping and handling. That kind of put me over the limit so I was wondering if anyone who has bought one could pull a tape measure...

    bucket hooks on BX25D

    Just got done with the install and the paint is still wet. I wasn't real happy with my welds. Back in the day of being a truck shop mechanic at the saw mill, I did A LOT of welding on the log loaders and was much better back then. Still, for just using a 40 year old Sears buzz box that I got...

    finding front axle pivot lubrication

    I am new to the forum and just bought my first Kubota. I went for the BX25D. I have a lot of water in the ground with my three acres and there was no way I could justify getting something without a hoe. I foresee many curtain drains in my future. I have been gleaning information off of the...
