The Toronto Transit Commission just recently scrapped all the white tie wraps and changed to black. They had continual issues with the white on their bus fleet.

I forgot to mention that the outriggers don't leak down. Barry

Tooljunkie, that's an excellent suggestion about swapping the cylinders. I never thought of there being a cylinder problem as they aren't bent. Should have been sharper. Mike you just shot me down in flames. I will call the dealer and check the warranty but it looks like you are right. I should...

I have an almost two year old BX25D that I am having an issue with. The left downrigger for the backhoe is very slow to extend and when down it doesn't have enough pressure to lift that side. It's still under warranty but there is at least a $300.00 round trip involved which I will have to pay...

Thanks for all the responses. My wife will be so happy that we can get more grass cut if we use two mowers. I have grass I still haven't cut yet and I am having too much fun with the backhoe to take it off. She uses the John Deere (sorry):eek: but with all the rain we have had she can't keep up...

Is it an issue or even possible to use the MMM with the backhoe attached on a BX25D other than the weight issue on the lawn? Thanks, Barry

I drove the 40 minutes to my dealer on Saturday to get the stuff for my first service coming up. I asked for oil and the parts guy said the stuff on the shelf with the black lid. It was 10W30 in some brand I never heard of. They don't stock Kubota. I passed on the oil but bought the oil filter...

rkidd, thanks for the info on the bucket edge. I was out again today wearing out my bucket. I will call the dealer on Tuesday and get that edge ordered. Thanks again. Barry

rkidd did you buy the bucket edge from Kubota and if so do you happen to have the part number? My dealer's parts guy can only look stuff up by exact application and seems unwilling to do any searching. He has in his mind that my BX25 does not have a bolt on replacement edge so I am wasting his...

Well I wrote the cheque and the tractor is here. The dealer delivered it(45 miles) on a real crappy day so it was covered with salt and slush. That was a bit of a downer but the next day was warm so I got out the pressure washer and cleaned it up. Now I feel better. The first dealer I priced a...

Thanks for the input guys. As Walter says the 3 inch chipper is small. Pretty well all the You Tube videos I watched this weekend showed delimbed stuff going through the chipper. I was trying to avoid that extra work. It would be difficult pushing 2 to 3 inch trees through that little 3X3 hole...

The dealer phoned me today about a used Champion 3 inch chipper for $2000.00 to fit my BX25D. I had intended buying a new Wallenstein 3 inch in the spring. My concern is the belt drive to speed up the blades on the Champion where the Wallenstein is direct PTO drive to the flywheel. The...

Dave, I got the oil filter HH150-32430 to cross to a WIX 51365 or a Fram 6607. I stock that Fram number in my shop and I pay 2-3 bucks CDN. for them. WIX says there is no direct replacement at this time for the hydraulic filter and nothing will come up under Fram. Hope this helps. Barry Product...

First I would like to thank everyone who took the time to respond to my post. I really appreciate the help. Skeetes: I have lots of driveways. Three in fact with a large parking area but it is all paved. Previous owner had a paving company and paved the place with leftovers so it is pretty...

I am ready to open my wallet for a new BX25D. I have already purchased a used snow blower for it and will order it with a 54 inch MMM. I know manuals are a must and they will put in a block heater for me. What else should I be looking at from the dealer? I am considering the extra set of tires...
