    Agri Fab vac on BX?

    You nailed it! I use a draw bar hitch to pull my Agri Fab leaf vac behind my 2380 . Works fine. I bolted a 2" ball receiver on the vac and a ball on the draw bar hitch. I made my own draw bar hitch so it will not rotate like the purchased ones do...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Woke up to a fresh 6 inches of snow with some foot and a half drifts. The 2380 with a blower got the job done in no time at all.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Yesterday...used bucket to haul fire wood. Used forks to move welder on pallet, and last but not least used stump bucket to move some rocks and ripped out two stumps. I love the quick attach bucket on my Kubotas...

    Add weight to tires or not?

    With the turf tires I doubt you'd notice much difference tearing up your lawn with the loaded tires. You definitely need some weight to offset the loader and whatever you are carrying. Also it is nice having the extra weight as low to the ground as possible. My 23.80 rear tires are loaded.

    BX5450 Snow Blower PTO pops off comes loose

    Yes that collar should slide forward all the way when it clicks on the shaft. Did you give it a yank after it seated and see if you can pull it off? Also does the shaft extend and retract freely on its spline? I've had 2 of these front mount blowers and never had the pto shaft pull off as you...

    Where does your tractor sleep?

    Both Kubotas sleep in a 40x44 pole barn with power and cement floor. Occasionally I'll put the BX in the heated garage to melt off snow and ice from snow blowing the drive. Garage gets heat from outside wood boiler. Got rid of the sliding barn door a few years back and replaced with overhead...

    BX2380 or BX2680 ?

    Good for you Mike, you won't sorry either way you decide to go! I would take that $1400 difference and put a loader on that 2380 it's a handy tool and saves wear and tear on the back.

    BX2380 or BX2680 ?

    I have the 2380 and it doesn't lack for power. I run a 60" mower deck and a 50" snow blower. If you plan on running the wider blower maybe the extra hp would be better. Happy Thanksgiving!

    New BX Owner and 1st Cold Start

    Personally at 10 degrees I would hit the glow plugs longer for an easier smoother start. Jefferson

    oops my bad!

    Had to install front mount snow blower yesterday due to some early lake effect snow. Only second season with this unit so had to stop and think a couple times during install. Things went well until I noticed some sod collecting under front blower quick attach. OOPS forgot to raise the stand...

    Hst parking

    After reading about leaving a diesel idle for short periods in between chores got me wondering. I do leave it idle but curious is it best to put the HST in neutral while doing so or just leave in the range you stopped in? Maybe no difference at all? Ground is white this morning! Have a great day!
