I didn't see this mentioned but...does the 60" weight more than the 54"? I've the 54', and it's plenty heavy for my back. I put on an axle kit for storing it during the winter and for cleaning and service, and humping it up and down is a chore.

I'm not sure what is meant by stretch. If you are speaking of the chains stretching, well steel doesn't stretch, it wears out, like a bike chain, indicating a need for replacement. Rubber too gets old, cracks, breaks...falls off. YMMV. If your tires are filled, remember the air valve must be...

Here's what I do with chains; air down the tires a couple of pounds, mount your chains, air up the tires to snug the chains. Easy, no tensioners needed.

Those bolts and related bracket are to support a front end grill, If you don't have a grill they are optional,,,says so right in the manual. I might add that the K Connect manual also states to remove to remove the top pin holding the hydraulic cylinder and lower it down before mounting the...

The guy on YouTube who has all the same equipment has no K hitch bolt heads in the bumper holes I need for the rack. "The Mindful Homestead" video titled "Kubota K-Connect Front PTO and Snowblower Install, at 1:15 min. clearly shows his front bumper free of all interfering hardware. Check it...

I'm first up! Did I win? I've a front mounted Kubota snowblower. Anything under six inches I usually don't even bother with. But when it really snows, I go downstairs to a heated garage, open the door, hop in the seat, and first pass right out the door to the town road. Can't beat that.

Just wanted to share....The mower deck had to come off as winter has arrived. With the new-to-me arthritis, which really...if you got it, you know...anyway, with wifey's help we went at it. In an effort to make things easier, we turned the anti scalp wheels sideways; three of them, one was a...

Relay. Check connectors for loose wires....

And now the end of the story.... The tech shows up, pulls the shaft off, gives the collar a couple of twists, and pops the damn thing right on the pto. He says, new stuff, paint etc., just needs to break in. What I think is that my cleaning, lubing, and sitting over night must have loosened...

I removed the PTO end of the mower deck shaft and cleaned and lubed the heck out of it thinking yeah, maybe it was just gunked up. That's when I found out the collar doesn't really even pull back, yet alone stay back on its own.

The dealer is sending a tech over, maybe today, they are of course busy. The mower was tested before it was delivered; no problems. But earlier this year I had an issue with a flow diverter on the snowblower which also worked fine until I tried using it. I still think the coupler on the shaft...

I know that the slip joint goes together only one way...I did not know that the pto end is the same deal. But if the collar does not pull back at all, I guess all bets are off.

Yesterday the wife and I tried to mount our mmm to the BX2380. All new equipment. On the face of it, this is a pretty easy thing to do, but we struggled for nearly two hours and could not get the drive shaft to mount to the pto. There's very little room under the machine to begin with, and...

2021. The truck is a bit quirky, the interior very plain. But it is as "custom" as I would want. It's pretty capable.
