    I may have the perfect snow removing setup for a homeowner

    It's taken me a few years, building a cab with all the toys, building a blade mounted sander and changing to special tires. I think it's now the ultimate home snow remover. Not too big, not too small. Plows, blows and spreads salt all from the heated cab while listening to tunes over the...

    Why didn't I know about these???????

    Lawn Sweeper + Modifications

    Well it's not Kubota but it's the right color. I picked up an Agri-Fab 44" lawn sweeper last week and it's amazing. No more raking for this guy. Does a great job of picking up any and all debris + lifting up the matted grass after the snowpack. I can tow it with my BX or my zero turn and...

    Poor Mans 3pt salt spreader

    Hello all, just put up a video of a salt spreader I made to mount on my BX's 3pt blade. Works GREAT! Now I can snowblow then scrape the driveway clean and then salt it without ever leaving the comfort of my heated cab. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNCJ589kUAc&t=25s

    Using 3pt carry all as a pallet fork

    Just a quick question, has anyone ever tried to use the typical Countyline carry all as a pallet fork? I wanted to use it a while back when I had 12 pallets of patio pavers delivered but found that the pallets they shipped those on to be not as high as the standard pallets. The legs of the...

    4 years out of factory battery?

    Just had to replace my BX's battery after 4 years which seems like a less than great performance for a factory battery. Tractor has 325hrs on it and I'm good about finding some little project to keep it running it once a week or so. Never had a charging issue or battery drain causing it to be...

    The little 1860 pushing through 16" of snow VIDEO

    Just shot a video of my little 18hp at the crank BX blasting through 14 - 18" of snow. I was nervous when I bought it that it may be under powered for taxing implements like a blower. After 300 hrs I'm still so happy I didn't spend more for additional HP though that money would probably come...

    Fabricating power shoot control for a BX5450 snowblower

    I scored a good deal on a new BX5450 this weekend for my BX1860. The only drawback is it's manual shoot control which won't work with my cab...well, to be fair it could but I really don't see myself using a wonky crank handle attached to a $15,000 tractor with a $3,500 snowblower. So, the...

    Eyeballing a blower, will it bolt up to my 1860?

    Hey everyone, I've been going back and forth on 3pt vs front blowers and just came across a new BX5450 blower on craigslist for a fair price. I see it setup on a BX 25 but can't seem to verify that this blower will fit my little BX1860? Do any of you know? Thanks!

    Changing the front axle steering seals on a BX video

    Could only find a couple videos on the subject before I gave it a shot so when I changed my seals yesterday I decided to record my experience to add to the collective internet knowledge base. I'm sure I didn't do everything the "right" way but it was more about showing the parts/pieces in...

    BX Towing 4,000lbs

    Yes it can. I picked up a hitch at TSC primarily to move my snowmobile trailer around and once I saw how easy the Kubota moved that 2,000 lbs I though I'd see if it could move the boat safely. Guess what, it does! Taking it super slow with the revs up and a light foot on the pedal it was...

    Maintenance and more maintenance

    Knock on wood, my BX has been a very reliable machine since I bought it a few years ago but I was just thinking about the maintenance I need to do after changing bearings and races on the boat trailer as my BX approaches the 300hr mark and it hit me. The amount of equipment maintenance I need...

    It was bound to happen sometime

    Well with 280hrs on the clock I've ran into my first problem with my BX I bought new in 2013. The steering seal on the right side of the axle has let go. I'm trying to decide what's easier, removing my cab so the dealer can fix it under warrenty which would mean disconnecting the cab heater...

    People on this forum

    Just a quick shout out. I've never come across a better group of people on a forum than this one and I've been a active forum member of a ton of them over many years. Is it a Kubota thing? Is it a tractor thing? Is it the natural DIY attitude in all of us? Is it the color orange...

    Pool Rehab Project Complete

    Hello, Wanted to share the result of my past 2 summers. This could not have been done without the help of my BX. Just me and my Kubota rebuilt my pool area. First year was spent building a retaining wall then backfilling with 30 yards of stone to extend the pool deck. This past spring I...

    BX 54" MMM (mid mount mower) with only 25 hrs!

    I'm selling the MMM that came with my BX. I bought the BX because of my yard being so tricky I needed 4wd to get up and down. Once I got the BX I ended up regrading the whole yard using the FEL and backblade and now can mow it with a Zero Turn! The deck has been stored in my garage and only...

    Snow removal VIDEO!

    Hi guys, Just thought I would share a video I shot last night. While it wasn't a big storm it was a heavy, wet 6" with sleet falling as I cleared the driveway. For a small tractor it does a great job and scrapes right down to pavement. Never a problem pushing huge piles and its great at...
