    Messick's shipping. You've got to be kidding me!!!

    While I'm sure there is some hyperbole I would venture in this specific case the marine bolt is a marine grade stainless steel bolt, which you aren't going to find at Lowes for $0.20 We have all gotten spoiled by amazon prime shipping. That is true to an extent. You also have the factor of...

    BX23S Loose Throttle

    Hey all, Out of the blue the throttle on my BX23s has just loosened up. Basically it just doesn't stay in place. If I throttle up it just drops down to idle. If I bungie it in place it runs fine. I haven't had time to follow the throttle linkage to see how it works, but I figured I'd at...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Yea I hope so. last year tore up my driveway a bit. Well didnt "tear" it up so much but left lots of unsightly lines. Did you just use carriage bolts to attach it?

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Nice! I just bought the exact same strip. It's sitting in front of the bucket ready for installation. Been raining all weekend.

    BX light connector

    Thanks. In my first year I actually haven't found much of a need for lights to begin with. I got my BX last november and bought a light bar thinking it would be useful if I had snow removal at night. But here big snow storms aren't that common, and we had a lighter than average year so I...

    BX light connector

    So I didn't realize the BX had some connectors in the back for utility lights until recently. They are a round connector which looks familiar, but I'm not exactly sure what you'd call it. I'd like to get matching connectors to plug in a small LED light bar (nothing fancy, so I'm not trying to...

    Where do you buy your batteries??

    I've been getting mine from battery warehouse. Free installation and good warranty. My wife's car battery got a bad cell prematurely and they replaced it no questions asked. Overall though their prices have been good, service is excellent and rarely have I had a battery go bad.

    BX23 12V plug quesetions

    BX23 12V plug questions So I'm curious, how many of you use the 12V plug, and if so any tips on keeping things plugged into it? I have found that with the natural rumbles of a diesel tractor nothing I plug into the 12V adapter wants to stay plugged in. Whether it is a usb adapter to charge my...

    BX FEL plastic edge?

    Thanks. That looked way better than anything I had found. I have one on order. Thanks. I do have edge tamers and they are awesome. However I have found for snow I run into 2 issues. First is that while they don't gouge the driveway, I still get 2 lines where they glide down the driveway...

    BX FEL plastic edge?

    Hey all, With winter here I was trying to decide some options for snow removal. Here in MD we don't get so much snow (although we did get a freak storm last week) that I can justify a dedicated plow blade or snow blower. The FEL works fine for my needs. the only issue is that even using the...

    Pinning up the mid mount mower

    I don't know if the B is different than the BX, but on the BX I just dial the mow height to the highest level and it doesn't drop at all. I actually do that after every mow as otherwise the MMM tends to drop down on its own after a few days.

    Digging with one stabilizer

    One other option is to come in at an angle you can get pretty close by almost backing in and cranking the BH arm all they way to the side.

    Digging with one stabilizer

    Honestly if you go slow and use some common sense you will be fine. Just remember without both stabilizers down you can push the tractor around more, so don't try to bite off as much during each pass.

    Greasing time

    I was at my dealer recently (Messicks) picking up some filters etc and had asked them. They recommended if I was gonna have 1 grease gun to just fill it with high temp grease. It is overkill for most of the joints but good for the parts that spin a ton (like the mower deck). Not using this...

    Not Sure I'm happy with my mowing results

    Thanks everyone. As I had mentioned before I posted this I had the deck off, had cleaned the deck and sharpened the blades. Today I cranked it to full RPM and the cut was much better.

    Why don't tractors have suspensions?

    Um reading comprehension goes a long way in combating thread length. He did not say that in Europe tractors have shocks. He said, as actually others have also said that SOME LARGE tractors have some sort of suspension. He also did a good job explaining why you would want said suspension to be...
