If you're only mowing grass, Y blades would probably be better than hammers. Hammers are for rougher cuts, mulching small sticks and the like. They're also better if you have stones and the like that you may hit, as I understand it. I believe Y blades give a nicer cut if you're only mowing grass.

The BX loader should easily lift any implement that the BX itself can lift. For digging, the answer is a piranha bar, not necessarily a bigger tractor. None of them dig particularly well with the bucket, the bucket is mainly for picking up stuff that's already in a pile. Lots of people here...

This boat: https://www.pursuitboats.com/OS325_25.php 14,000lbs dry, it'd be 16,000 full of fuel (1,000L = 1,000kg = 2,000lb). And I'm assuming that excludes the trailer weight. Would you pull it with the M5, or is that not in the same location? The M5 would easily pull it. I wouldn't pull a...

It won't sell soon. Make him a low offer and wait. I had a BX2350. I bought it from an auction, and the auction place said they didn't know if it ran. I bid accordingly. When I sent Dad to pick it up (it was a fair way from home, he was nearer), it started and drove on the trailer, nothing...

Lots of people have strong views that 3pt implements are way easier to put on. I just got a new transport tray for my tractor today - and don't have it on a dolly. Without a quick hitch or extending arms, attaching a 3pt implements that's too heavy to move is a real dog. I really think this is...

The LX has a ground contact deck - it rides on the deck wheels, rather than hanging off the tractor. The BX and B the wheels are anti-scalp only - they only contact if you've got some lean on the deck. There's good and bad in that, but be aware of it. The LX is a more capable machine, and the...

I went from a BX to a B2601. Yes, in terms of footprint it's pretty much a BX that's taller (and very slightly longer). That's not a bad thing - basically every Kubota model is about 10-15% bigger than the one below it, so actually every step in the range is about 10-15%. BX -> B -> LX -> L ->...

I have some posts on here as I was thinking about what to do with our new property - a big tractor, or a smaller tractor and excavator. Then I got lucky and inherited a mini-ex from Dad. (Before people jump on that, Dad passed a few years ago, Mum was still using the excavator. She decided she'd...

My B is about to become an MX (in 2 weeks time). Mum said she wants the B, which will fix a bunch of stuff for her - she can get rid of the TEA Fergie she's been using, which is finicky and has no loader.

I had a very good idea of physics when I bought my tractor. What I didn't understand was that the front axles provide no stability - until you hit the stops they give as much stability as one of those old tricycle tractors had. The rear axle provides all the stability. That's a really important...

Thumb on the backhoe too. Nice.

I can't be the first person they've ever met who wants to run a log splitter off an MX. So will be interesting to see what they provide.

I would definitely call them. There are sellers using slightly off addresses and similar sounding names. I'd call them using the phone number from their main website and/or look on their main website to see if it's listed there rather than via tractor house.

Don't know to be honest. I think it's maybe a float detent, but I'd have to look at the order. I did tell them I wanted to run a log splitter from it.

No real reason it'd be a problem. That's pretty much what a remote with a detent does - it clicks open and stays there (and I'm about to get one of them on my MX specifically to run a log splitter, so it better not be a problem!!)
