I was told by a Kubota tech. that it's important to warm the hydro before running and putting a load on the pump etc. even then I go easy for a few minutes to circulate the...

    BX v B

    This is one time where bigger isn't always better, a Bx will go places a B will not. I mowed with a cub 1641 before getting my Kubota and I had to trim every tree on my property before I could mow, the 60 inch deck does help keep you away from the trees and the ROPs on the B's are even taller...

    Rear scraper blade? HELP!

    Have you tried plowing with the blade turned around? Ive got three inches of fresh gravel on mine so I plow this way. It moves the snow just fine and it floats over the gravel. One more thing try shortening the top link, the longer the top link is will make it dig harder.
