    When is additional weight too much weight?

    For my BX1880 the UM states: Liquid ballast in rear tires “The weight should be added to the tractor in the form of liquid ballast.” On the following page it states: “:To avoid damage of the transmission, do not use the rear wheel weights and liquid ballast at the same time.” It DOES say don’t...

    How NOT to do a hydraulic oil change...

    Same here in NY, anywhere that sells it has to take it, except maybe the grocery store. When I changed my hydraulic fluid I took the used stuff to A-zone. They stopped me at the counter and said they have to "check" it first. The guy says it smells funny you can't dump it (might have tranny...

    Speed Control Pedal Lubrication

    Lifetime and Well Known members can probably ignore this post, I realize the topic has been posted several times before. However, I thought it prudent to restate the obvious for newbees and knobs like me who read something that should be done but for whatever reason don’t. It could possibly...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Beautiful Bluebonnets, I'm jealous. At 6:15 pm today it was 57*F Now at 8:15 pm it's 31*F and still dropping. Wind gusts of 40-50 mph - horizontal snow/rain mix. Dogs wont even go out.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    61 degrees today in upstate NY!!! In February!!! All dressed up and nowhere to go! Edge tamers for the bucket, front & rear chains, rear wheel weights, 450 lbs. in ballast box, canopy, LED light bar (forward) and spots (rear facing). I've moved snow twice this year so far and the second time...

    Bent my key

    When my BX was delivered I asked about the key and they said the same key fits all Kubotas no matter what size / model. I could walk next door and "brough" my neighbors L using my key. Good argument for a hidden kill switch.

    wheel spacer

    If you dig deep enough through this forum you'll find all kinds of very good advice on wheel spacers. First thing you need to do is decide if you're going to leave the spacers on year-round. If so determine the thickness of spacer you can put on by measuring between the back wheel and the mower...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    The original place only has large trucks so my little 1880 wouldn't be able reach high enough to load it. They'd have bring a loader and a truck, too costly for them. I have a couple of walkway projects to redo, spread some to help pack down the new stone in the driveway, probably put the rest...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Leveled a spot to put up a tractor shed. Then the wife says "hey, put up a smaller shed, move all the crap out of the garage and put the tractor in the garage". Lights, power, tools, already there and done. That why we've been together 40 years and counting!!! (between you and me I'm getting the...
