    Pallet Forks

    With small tractors, weight is paramount. With my BX I try to stay very light. The 225# or less options should let you lift around 500#. You lose a pound of payload for every pound of fork.

    Kubota BX series grass catcher (material collection system)

    So, I have the PTO bagger on my BX2380, and the PTO shaft is easy. Both ends have the press release to disconnect. The bagger hangs from two supplied brackets, not the two three point hitch lifts. The third is the normal top link. it wants the PTO to be very close to level and fixed. They...

    BX with a Bagger Issues

    I just lost the rear end from mine due to being hooked to the 3pt rather than fixed. The PTO separated and cracked the hydraulic case. The dealer likely added stationary brackets outboard of the 3pt. Fittings are the same, so it’s easy to confuse. if you raise the 3pt, it can separate and...

    ROPS too tall

    Same problem here. I labeled a box ‘ROPS’ and set it on the garage floor when I put them up. Seems like a good reminder.

    Loader Falls too fast

    I’m new to this, but have the same problem. Careful pressure on the stick dampens the drop speed. Hard to get it just right, but manageable if you aren’t in a hurry.
