I called around to a few indoor gun ranges until I found one that was OK with some random guy showing up with a shovel. I took a square nose shovel, snow shovel, several 5 gallon buckets (half a bucket of the material is about 100 #), gloves and a good dust mask. The indoor gun range has a...

I have a TerraKing TKV20 for my BX2380, and the tractor needs some front counterweights. I called my Kubota sales guy, and the bracket, 5 weights, and hardware is a whopping $900. I asked about if they get used weights and he didn't respond. Anyhow, I decided to make my own suitcase weights...

Thanks for the hydraulic schematic. Here is how it works. The hydraulic cylinder sets the minimum 3pt height, not the maximum height. Adding some mechanical gizmo to keep the control lever in the "lower" position just keeps the hydraulic cylinder connected to the drain, and that would seem...

Thanks everyone. The plan is to procure some softer springs for the front, and sort out some kind of damper mechanism to remove any "bouncy-ness" that shows up with a lower spring rate. I did get some softer springs for the rear, but that'll require some kind of managing the rear springs...

Hi all - I was tired of getting beat up by my tractor when bush hogging my bumpy field, so I built a suspension seat by modifying the factory seat mount. The design 1) added a rear hinge and 2) added springs where the factory front seat mount was located, 3) retained the factory rear springs ...

OK, I found the boot kit for a 60" BX2380.... it's $400. SO. My local dealer has it for $1333. All that said it's time to see if I can make one from some 16ga steel I have sitting around.

Hi Chriscozi, I just received my TerraKing 3pt vacuum. I've been getting it set up (cutting PTO shaft, sorting out wiring, making a better stand, etc). I also purchased the AgriFab 45-0607 "universal" deck boot, and it sure looks to be too small for my BX2380. What boot did you use...

I wound up making my own since 1) I'm cheap, 2) I like making stuff, 3) I have the tools. Anyhow, I sized mine for 3/8 chain because I have chain in that size and the 5/16 chain fits OK.
