I kinda figured there were others that wasnt fond of the over tall ROPS bars:eek::eek: I too seldom raise mine, but I had a pretty good little job for the back hoe and the bar will interfere badly with its use. My buddy was with me and wanted to try out the hoe and on raising it - unknown to me...

Can I see a show of hands on all who wish Kubota would have shortened the ROPS bar??? I know that right now I think I could choke an engineer!!

Yoop, Your detailed and well written post on building this beautiful piece of machinery is undoubtedly hands down the most enjoyable post that I have ever followed! I occasionally make a post with a few pics and it can take an amazing amount of time to do just a few pics with a good...

Kubota BX25D with 298 hrs - Kubota 'thumb' on back hoe, 2" rear wheel spacers, under armor, shim kit to raise Hyd press to 2000psi. Very clean tractor and had regular mtc and inside storage Bought 1 yr ago to clean up timber cutting mess and have finished that (WHEW!!) and tractor handled it...

I ran this post a while back about a "Worksaver" grinder on my BX25 -- http://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25813&highlight=stump+grinder I finished my 100 or so pine stumps about a week ago and while the tractor did the job it is pushing that small engine...

AMEN!! I dont fish, hunt, golf, hang in the bars, gamble, etc, etc, just let me in my shop making chips, welding, wrenching, grinding - getting nasty and blowing black boogers outa my nose:eek: and I'm a happy guy! Lookin wicked cool there yoop.... PS: I finished my some 100+- stumps and...

If I remember correctly? its like 3180? I know that I just adopted 3200 as for my setting, that being real close.

Yeah, me too! Plus, when yooper recently took a couple days off and didnt post, I thought I was gonna have the DT's ;) Keep em coming yoop....

My BX25 had the (in)famous cracking/crumbling tie rod dust cover/boots and replacing them with another Kubota product to again quickly fail wasnt appealing! So looking for an alternate fix I came across this on the bay -- http://www.ebay.com/itm/252113476258 Vendor says its a heavier duty...

No doubt there are quicker - and maybe better? - ways to get rid of stumps but the BX was what I had ... soooo. I dont have a way do a vid - am by myself anyway:rolleyes: I'm only taking the stump to just below ground, maybe 2-3"? and am usually able to use the chips/dirt slung out to rake...

With Yooper running his fantastic post on his home built stump grinder I thought I'd tell a bit about my 'store bought' one. I had the timber guys come in and take all my pine trees a year and half ago (pine beetles were getting them and the pine straw is a PAIN!) I was left with some 75-80...

Oh yes! A pressure washer is a wonderful tool to have on hand, I use my 2300psi often. Cant beat it for those clumps of matted up grass clippings or those big blobs of mud that managed to get stuck to the rims and dust that has stuck to those seeping oil leaks, etc, etc. As mentioned be aware...

Lift height on the 3ph jumped up and bit me on my grinder - got the impression they made the lift points on the grinder to be for 'multi-use' hitches, maybe a series 1 and 2. With the BX's small wheels the hitch wouldnt even lift it high enough, barely would clear on level ground. We fabricated...

"My design incorporates the cutting head extending 18" by hydraulic cylinder inside the inner boom. Idea is to plant the tractor and finish the stump without having to reset." Well, that certainly takes care of that little problem:D - now wasnt that easy? That makes a swivel seat sound much...

Yooper, Re seat/control positioning -- I would encourage you to keep in mind movement and repositioning of the tractor/cutter wheel. With my small tractor I have to constantly reposition the cutter and this is one of the great benefits of having the HST drive - my sitting in the seat turned to...

"One more question. Do you operate it from the seat or standing off to the side?" I disconnected my FEL to add a temporary hook-up for the grinder utilizing the existing joy stick. Otherwise I would have had to buy spool valves and much more connx/hoses going the other way, with the joy stick I...

yooper, "Is the square tube going vertical by the grinder for 'parking' it?" Yes, that is its "parking brake" Obviously you wouldnt want to set the wheel down and risk damaging one of those pricey carbide teeth! "How smooth does yours run?" With my small tractor - and small engine - it will...

Absolutely great post yooper! Keep em coming! In case some of you havent seen one of - the many - 3pt hitch stump grinders heres a couple pics of one I recently adapted to my little BX25. Its from Iowa Farm equip, a SG26, which means its got a 26" cutting wheel:rolleyes:. It weighs a whopping...

On a BX25D I need to run 2 cylinders on a stump grinder on the 3 point hitch and would like to do it with the bucket controls. The use of the tool will be only until the stumps are finished so really dont want to set up a spool valve on the back. Any body know what color hyd lines to the bucket...
