Interestingly there's one of these for sale in my local craigslist as well. Price? Exactly $500. What's even more interesting is that when you search around on the internet, this is about the same exact price they've been going for since the mid 2000's. The listing I found in my area, the...

Holy crap is that ugly - sorry for your misfortune kupitz! Did you do the rebuild yourself? $700 sheesh :rolleyes: Did they plate it in gold?? Where is the breather port that possibly got compromised? Does it sit right on top where snow builds up?

+1 for me being a little confused about the implement names in this post :D I have a United Box Blade, it looks like this: So because it says it on the side, I'm pretty sure I have a box blade :p Is a box scraper the same as a box grader, which is the same as a land plane? Searching for...

Wow I've never seen something like that, and can't imagine the noise it made when it let go. Thankfully no one was hurt - I might've had a coronary from fear when that thing started making a racket! Hopefully the dealer is able to fix it so it doesn't happen again.

Have there been any good pics of the newest generation of the BX that is coming out (in June I think?)? Did they make any changes to the hydro line/HST fan locations or routing? I've seen the shiny side up pics and it looks really nice, but I haven't seen any pics of the bottom, I don't think.

Everything in moderation they say, and they're right. 42 years old here and accumulating more 'things' that I 'need' (and hopefully some knowledge along the way as well hah!). Tools, equipment, and the corresponding work to go with them. But doesn't it all make us more efficient? I like to...

I'm no operator/heavy equipment professional, but just watching this poor 'L' dig up a concrete driveway makes me cringe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMw-P1CffuA Am I right in thinking that even a 'small' skid steer would be better than using an L in this situation? What's proper protocol...

Buying used can definitely pay off, if you don't mind it. I got my BX2360 w/ FEL (only had 55 hours on it!), 60" MMM, BX2750D SB, box blade and 16' trailer for...an absolute song. And I found it on Craigslist, of all places. Of course I payed cash for a craigslist transaction, but the $$$ I...

Wow looks great! And 850 lbs? Oof! My little BX trembles in fear at the thought :D

Yea no picture when I ordered it either, but the correct part was delivered: http://messicks.com/part/77700-05888/support-handle It really is a much more elegant solution than the 'ring'. I really disliked that thing.

There sure is a better option. Part Number 77700-05888 from Messicks, as referenced in this thread - scroll all the way down to the bottom of the first page: http://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18536 I already got it and installed it myself, haven't used it yet because...

I like it, the new models look great. I'm not sure if any of the (albeit nice) new options are enough to make me part with my 2360, but it's good to see Kubota addressing customer beefs and advancing. Any ideas on pricing yet?

Great machine and good save! And wow NIW, nice find - are there any parts from any Kubotas you DON'T know?? :D

Wow those Edge Tamers are great, especially when combined with the Edge Extenders - it's like mini pallet forks! Something else I didn't know I needed for my tractor, and now I'm ordering a pair of each today! :D

Any specific gauge wire I should stick with in your opinion? I'm just doing the chute actuator, so the inline fuse I bought has 10 gauge wire. It looks as if the actuator wire is much thinner, so should I use 10/12/14/16? Does it matter too much? TIA again!
