    Mulch Bucket for B series

    I have pallet forks. 42" by Artillian. Would need to build something out of wood that would not slide off when dumpling though. Used skid steer bucket may be something to look at. Of to Craigslist I go. I will post my solution, if and when I have one. Thanks.

    Mulch Bucket for B series

    Looking for a SSA bucket that is lightweight < 300lbs or so. Maybe 1 yard. Only want to move grass clippings and mulch. Too many trips back and forth with the LA534 (60" bucket) which I think is 1/3 yds (heaped) Thanks.

    Bagger options for B2650

    Finally justified the price ($2600) of the Kubota bagger only to find it wont fix because I have a backhoe. Looked into the Protero but they want over $4000. Any other options out there besides the pull behind?

    ItBmine: I thought the chipper opening was 3 x 10" How are you getting 4-5" through? Same question for the 1" shredder opening.

    Exactly. I'm just tired of loading up the landscape trailer and waiting for the brush dump to open.

    Wallenstein BXM32 vs BX52

    Really struggling with this one. About 10% of my yard has 3.5" or bigger branches and the rest is pine cones, needles and small 3/4" - 2" branches. The BXM hopper claims a 1" diameter which is REAL small and i'm concerned about leaves and such will not going through. But, if it does, would be...

    New BH77 Backhoe - help.

    Ya, right. They changed their tune. I can get the first one with the bent pegs or the second one with the repaint and orange peal. They said they know the paint does not match but that is all Kubota sells them.. Seams like BS. But there is nothing I can do.

    New BH77 Backhoe - help.

    Dealer came by today to have look. Nice guy. He blames the factory for a lot of the imperfections. Said it depends on the guy building it if the bolts get painted or the zip-ties off the hoses are cut, dings, etc. He said he picked the best one on the lot and painted it to make it perfect...

    Radio and Speakers

    Recently bought a B2650cab and immediately wanted to replace the speakers. Searched the OTT site with little help so I thought about posting my experience and then, last week, I saw a new YouTube video from Messick's so I decided to post. I know most here cannot or have no desire to...

    What to do?..

    Final outcome. Dealer made it right. Installed the difference in equipment and gave me a gift certificate for the difference in money. So, if anyone else has an issue like this, just try working it out with your local dealer. Will pay off in the long run. Thanks for the advise.

    As a reference for others. It was in great shape. Had lots of offers for $17ish without looking. Took about 10 days. Someone actually drove out and rode the tractor and it was sold. Sold $22,000
