OP never answered if he had any insurance at all. So, you're guess is as good as mine. 🤷‍♂️

Snuck out after lunch today to do part 2 of a small grading/seeding job. Was done in 2 hours with a couple of yards of screened topsoil. Made some nice coin for a small job...just the way I like them. didnt bother with pics...looked like last pic in post 18,451...a little bigger area with seed...

I'll throw in my $.02. I had a landscaping business years ago and used a BX23. It handled the types of jobs that I liked to do just fine. That little machine made quite a bit of money for me. I traded that machine 12 years later for a B2650. I wanted the large B (which is now designated as the...

congrats mailman. I'd have to say that the LX (B2650) sized machine makes for an outstanding "landscape" tractor with decent capabilities and ground clearance (that's why I have one). Having said that, don't think for a minute that you can't build your shooting range with a BX... Best of luck...

So, I'll ask again... Do you have KTAC insurance on this piece of equipment? If you financed the machine, they require insurance. Hopefully you went with Kubota Tractor Acceptance Corporation (KTAC).

It's covered under KTAC...pretty much anything short of nuclear war which is why I asked the question in the first place but didn't get an answer. 🤷‍♂️ https://www.ktacinsuranceagency.com/ For those doubters out there, copied from KTAC main page. Look at second line from bottom of "Covered...

Part 1 of a small grading job to do for a client...Step 1 was 30" maple stump removal. Step 1 Complete. Woodland Mills WG24 to the rescue

Incorrect...KTAC covers lack/lapse of judgement as well.

KTAC????

OP - just for giggles. pull the boom up and lock it (not the swing lock). Move the dipper by hand side to side (engine off) and see if there is any excessive side to side slop in the main boom knuckle or in the swing cylinder joints.

I think its a pretty weak point in the casting. Someone else on this forum had this happen fairly recently as well. I don't recall if they ever admitted to any wrong doing...but I think the dealer replaced it. I don't use the swing lock at all...for this very reason. It's just too easy to...

That sucks. But you're not the first. I've seen this before. Did you start to swing with the lock in place??? Or possibly hit something with the hoe when turning? I believe that may be what you hear from your dealer...I hope not.

PowRmole job with the tractor today. All went fine. not many interesting pics... Ready broken fitting 30' of new pipe pulled with the powrmole. It pulled hard against the trench wall. I think it was trying to get thru the foundation wall of the house addition. The thing is with this...

part DUX... thought it would be just a few hors...nope...all day event. U-27 did a great job for me again. We already got another google 5-star review. We like those. dig pipe time for backfill that's a wrap. tomorrow will be a powrmole job with the tractor/backhoe.

day one of two day sewer line replacement... Dig: Eclipse...and digging under the eave of the roof was all that much fun. backfill/rough grade...will smooth it off tomorrow.. and the best shot of the day...my friend's son loading me up withy another load of stone... :ROFLMAO: back...
