The broom works great on pavement, but I have a 1400’ long gravel driveway. I go between a front snowblower to a front hydro adjustable blade, and a rear blade. When it’s light I can blow it far away, and lightly drag the rear blade at a 45 degree angle to leave a nice smooth surface...

Just saw this, I have 2” hitch receptacles on a few 3 point pieces. I haul my saws around when I’m grappling up branches and brush. Good for planting tools too, then I can go move trailers around, or piggyback an attachment to it.

I’ve been using my $80. HF special for about 8 years. Like most, I added about 1 1/2” length to the top hook. I have set up multiple friends up with the same set up.

Looks like it would be easy to bolt on ( so you don’t have to weld) some angle iron to the bolted on brackets that are there now. And sandwich piece if expanded metal or … to let the debris come out. If you have the ability to weld up a piece, you can make a cover to bolt on.

I’ll talk to him next week. I know he ( service mgr) saw my name on the list and scheduled me.

I was out of town yesterday, but got a call from our local Kubota Dealership, about a recall on my 2014 BX25D. We personally know the Service Manager, so I know it’s no type of scam. He had a Mobil service tech out doing the part swap ( take out the old, install the new sensor) and my wife was...

With keeping snow removal equipment on the tractor, either the front snow blower or hydro blade, I don’t have a bucket to easily load firewood on the porch. So using a cheap rear bumper hitch hauler, and cutting up an old class 3 hitch receptacle, I made up a dual height loader assy hitch that...

that’s what I’m hoping for! and yes, I still wash it and wax it at least once a year

Looking at the thread on how many hours people have on their tractors. I know I over maintain my BX, oil changes every 100 hours, fuel and air filters too often. But, is there a number that is a good time to do major work to them? Ie: rings, glow plugs at 3K hours etc.

2014 BX25D 1080 hours, original owner.

Got to try out the LED light bar, pushing wet sloppy snow off the drive, so it won’t freeze into a rough road. Looking forward to the colder weather, so it’s just real snow that the blower can deal with, instead of this slurpee melt on the ground

Got about 6” over the weekend, mostly wet, slushy and messy. Mostly cleaned up, but I’ll get my 2 blade set up out and scrape it all off smooth. We’re supposed to get a little snow and rain before it dramatically drops in temperature, and freezes what’s left in place.

No snow blower usage yet, and nothing in the forecast for the next week. This is the latest with no real snow and below freezing temps here in N Idaho that I can remember.

Rusty that’s exactly what I do as well. I have spray chain lube that I can spray thru the inspection hole before and after use every time, plus I use an acid brush and brush on red sticky while adjusting chain tension, with the cover off

There’s 1400’ of gravel down my driveway to the road. Normally I would have the snow blower on the front hydro shoe. I knew with the back and forth of snow and rain, the a few hours of wet little ice balls, it would not blow very easily with the snow blower. Once it jams up with ice, it blows...
