    Mower blade specifics

    Has anyone had luck with Gator 92-049 blades on an RCK60B23BX MMM deck? Asking because I'm looking for a non-mulching blade with more lift than Kubota offers. I realize the center hole on the 92-049 blade is 1 1/8" and the mower requires a 7/8" center hole blade. I can use the old bushing method...

    Purchase of a 2020 Kubota GR 2020/2120 with snowblower

    Can't speak to the GR lineup, but I'm on my second BX now. I had a green riding mower when a friend sold us her late husband's BX1850 with several attachments for pennies on the dollar. It had a 54" deck but no loader. I liked it so much, I traded it and the green machine in for a lightly used...

    Dovetail or Flatbed Trailer?

    Thank you towing vets! Unfortunately a tilt bed is a bit out of the budget. All things considered, I’ve decided to go with a 77”x16’ straight bed tandem, mostly because I'll need the clearance more than the ease of loading. Brakes on both axles and the gate will lay flat when not in use. If the...

    Stall mat vs. PVC

    Last winter I finally ran out of 4" PVC that I used to fit over my 5' rear blade to push snow on gravel. This year, I tried a piece of stall mat as many here have recommended. I gotta say it works great. I've since removed the stall mat as there's 3" of ice over the gravel now, thanks to a...

    Dovetail or Flatbed Trailer?

    Greetings. I'm looking at a PJ tandem axle trailer to haul my BX 2370. I figure a 7'x16' will accommodate the tractor with attachments, but am not sure if a 2' dovetail (3' gate) or flatbed (4' gate) is best. I'm wondering if the tractor would get up on a flatbed with the belly mower attached...

    Replacing LA243 bolts with linch pins

    Greetings, I'm debating a set of forks for my '15 BX2370 with LA243 FEL. The quick attach is nice but I don't think I'll be swapping bucket/forks often enough to justify the cost. Has anyone replaced the three bolts used to secure the bucket pins with linch pins? It would be alot quicker to pull...

    3 point aerator conversion

    The frame and aerator unit is about 40 lbs, easy to move around and install. Add four cement blocks and it's in the neighborhood of 160lbs. That's enough to cut full plugs in damp soil.

    3 point aerator conversion

    Back when I had a riding mower that wasn't orange, I used an AgriFab model 45-0299 48" pull behind aerator. After I bought a BX2370 I decided to convert the wheeled aerator so it would attach to the 3 point hitch. I'm not a welder, so I drew up a design for a local shop to fabricate. The end...

    MMM blade lift?

    Problem solved thanks to your advice and comments. I cleaned the deck (it wasn't bad), installed a new set of Oregon G6 Gators (very timely, they chew through leaves) and lowered the deck an inch. I think what helped the most was reversing my mowing pattern, it seemed to lift the grass much better.

    MMM blade lift?

    It's been so wet that my grass has gotten too long (5-7") and lays over flat on the ground. Once it finally dried out, I fired up the 2370/60" deck and started to mow, thinking the stock blades (21.5" long, 7/8" bolt hole) had enough lift to pick it up and slice if off. I was mistaken. Bumping...

    BX sprayer speed

    I was looking for an easier way to apply weed and feed over three acres when I found a 40 gallon 3 point sprayer with wand on sale. Also picked up a 2.5 gl jug of liquid weed and feed, 15-0-0. The broadleaf chemical in it is 2-4d. Having never sprayed with type of equipment, I had to figure out...

    BX2370 LED retrofit

    Well.....4 months later and one of the headlight bulbs quit. No unusual operation, it just wasn't working when I checked them this morning. Everything else is OK.

    BX2370 LED retrofit

    This morning I retrofit my 2015 BX2370 with LED bulbs. Took about five minutes and $38.00, absolutely a remove and replace operation with no issues. New lights look and work great. Here's what I used: emergency flashers...

    BX2370 right side control vacancy

    Yes, the space circled in yellow. I sorta figured it was for aux hydraulics like a hydraulic top link, 3 point snowblower chute control and so on. One of my winter projects is work lights and I was kicking around a filler plate and a narrow-ish switch at that location.

    BX2370 right side control vacancy

    I'm a relatively new BX2370 owner wondering what the empty lever(?) space on the right side control cluster is for? It's directly behind the three point lift control. Seems like a good spot for a light switch if it's not anything I might need later on.
