Well just to add a bit of context, the land is rough right now but i'll get it tilled and smoothed after my house is finished being built. I won't be mowing heavy brush (it started out that way) but just trying to keep the weeds low and let the grasses fill in. Like i said earlier i'll probably...

i'll likely be mowing the acreage a little over once per week. We both have ponds and houses on the acreage so it isn't quite 10 total acres but it will be routine during the mowing season.

This is not a generic question so i apologize for the generic title. Right now, my father has a compact kioti tractor with a 5' brush hog. I have a BX 2680 with a 4' brush hog. I foresee a time in the next few years where i may need to take over his mowing as well as my own. What is the...

I have a question about the mower deck height adjustment for the BX (mine is the 2680). Anyhow, with the deck on, I can turn the knob to all positions except "top". With the deck off i have been able to get the knob into the top position. It's like the weight of the deck binds something that...

Hi, I recently posted a question about using some lock-tight on a wheel lug bolt to keep it from backing out. https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/wheel-question.76846/ However, when I finally got the wheel removed, the situation is worse than I thought. One of the lug bolts was...

I have a bx2380 and I noticed the front left wheel appeared to be wobbling. When I looked at it I could see that one of the lug bolts was missing and two more were loose. So I got a replacement bolt and torqued everything down and it seemed to be ok (for a while). The other day I noticed it...

This post is a bit late from the others but I had a similar problem with mine. Turned out one of the three point lift arms has a tiny crack in it and would "open up" when trying to get the deck to the extreme top position necessary to engage the top lock. This may not be your problem but...

Well, I want to say thanks for all the input. It's appreciated. Someone asked which way I'm leaning and I'm not sure at the moment but probably will go for a bigger tractor and a zero turn. However, my wife says that you ALL are a biased group of guys and CAN'T be trusted!! :)

Hello I have a kubota 2380 that I bought roughly 5 years ago. I have used it to landscape and condition the four acres that we currently own. I have moved lot's of dirt. I've used it to build retaining walls and move gravel. I use it regularly to mow, both the field and the lawn. But, to be...

Thanks for the reply. The solenoid appears to be good. I haven't actually measured the rod travel, but it appears to be retracting and extending in the same manner as my neighbors (who has the 2370 model). It's all that "linkage" that is connected to the rod that appears to be the problem. I...

I tried to start my tractor today and it wouldn't start. Just to get other things out of the way, the problem isn't electrical, fuel supply or anything like that. The actual problem is that once the fuel shutoff solenoid releases, the assembly that is connected to the solenoid doesn't "spring"...

Hey, I've got a BX2380 with the loader stand lock on the left side of the loader (from the perspective of sitting on the tractor). Being lazy, I was trying to get some mulch out of the trailer over the side and I messed up the loader stand locking mechanism. I believe the locking hook got...

I don't have beet juice. The stuff used around here is some type of biodegradable corn derivative. I don't remember exactly what the name of it is off hand. Anyhow, the ? I'd like to ask is how much above recommended pressure are you and do you have the R4 tires? Thanks

About a year ago I posted a thread seeking advice on a suspected transmission problem. I noted that the wheel just kind of seemed to shudder. Here is a link to the thread if anyone is interested: https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/seeking-advice.50544/#post-453989 Wheel shudder...
