    New 4 in 1 Bucket Paint Damage

    Update: I called the sales person I worked with and they were willing to exchange for another bucket but that was their last one so he offered to have the damage repaired. I dropped off and they have a person in service who does refinishing work. I picked up the next day and while not the same...

    New 4 in 1 Bucket Paint Damage

    Yes, IT but at the enterprise level not with children's toys... The bucket I have now which I used to gravel a new driveway section, move more large rooks than I want to think about, and all the other tasks you do with a bucket has no chips at all with almost three years of use. It has some...

    New 4 in 1 Bucket Paint Damage

    Thanks, I did that this morning and so far no response...

    New 4 in 1 Bucket Paint Damage

    The front of the picture is the bucket edge, the chips are on the flat part. My three year old bucket has some scratches but no chips and I've used it for many yards of gravel and hauling large rocks. I realize in use the paint will not be perfect but this is a new bucket, would be nice to not...

    New 4 in 1 Bucket Paint Damage

    Hi, I purchased a Land Pride 4 in 1 bucket and a weight box for my BX. When they delivered the box was strapped into the bucket so I did not see this paint damage until a few days later. The paint on my regular bucket that came with my tractor has no visible chipping after three years of use...

    Well R14 tires are on....

    That's a great price... I bought a set for my BX23S and they were $650. I really like the rears but I did not like that the front rim was exposed since the tire is not wide enough to protect, I also thought the fronts were priced high compared to the rears (only $40 diff). I have a set of 8...

    Best all around tire for your sub compact tractor!

    Well, my Dealer made my decision simpler... Someone called in response to my message about receiving two right side wheels and told me Kubota doesn't always ship matched pairs and I had to take them in to a tire place and pay to have the tire reverse mounted. These are going back to the...

    Who has R14 tires?

    I decided to go with the R14's, my dealer had a full set already mounted. I installed the rears which are an improvement over the tires I had, but still thinking about the fronts, my current tires have a larger footprint and they're 8 ply.

    Best all around tire for your sub compact tractor!

    I decided to go with the R14's, my dealer had a full set already mounted. I installed the rears and they are nice and feel more stable than the BKT tires I had on the rear. I was going to try the fronts but they gave me two right wheels and after comparing to my current BKT fronts they look...

    Who has R14 tires?

    Hi, Wondering if you have anything further to share about the R14 vs R4 on the BX23S now that you've had your tractor/tires for a year? I also have the BX23S and was thinking of upgrading to the R14 but your comment about the R4's being more stable is possibly a reason not to. Thanks, Kirk

    Are you using front and rear, or just the front?

    Ok, thanks that is good to know... What pressure do you run them at, I think the rated max is 30-32 PSI?

    Best all around tire for your sub compact tractor!

    Hi, Found this post on the WT300 tires, I was looking to get a set for my BX23S on the rear. I was considering the new R14's but I want good stability and the rounded profile does not look like the full width of the tire is in contact with the ground like the R4's. What was your experience...

    BX23S Front Tires

    I have the BX23s not the B7100, and the tractor weight is 1570 lbs and the rear can hold more than 400 lbs since the backhoe weights 607 lbs. From what I can find it seems a higher ply does add more sidewall strength but that is probably not as important with larger tires with more air volume...

    BX23S Front Tires

    I was looking to increase the sidewall strength for the fronts, one person at the dealer told me to increase the air pressure as the stock tires can tend to unset off the rim under heavy loads, but another person told me to not go over the recommended inflation. I've seen posts from others who...
