One of my favorite auctions near me is a Farm Bureau Consignment and is going on today. Usually have 3,000 lots and 2,000+ bidders. Everything from Amish furniture to beef cattle, large excavators, trucks, tractors and implements. It was 42 degrees and raining. Place is a mud hole when it's...

I'm a novice, so be gentle. I just got a Lenovo 2-in-1 blah, blah, blah machine to replace our antique Dell laptop. Using it right now. My IT SIL spec'd it. Pretty capable machine, according to SIL. I've bugged SIL a lot lately. I bought another HP from Amazon that didn't work out. He got...

Not my BX2360, but a friend just bought a used BX23S TLB with 2-300 hours. I recommended she check HST fan while doing full service on it. HST fan is stripped of the fins. If my memory serves, Kubota did not rectify the complicated HST fan replacement issues with the BX23S...i.e, still need...

While back, posted this about our daughter's part in an article in JAMA: Our kid was part of an article published in JAMA | OrangeTractorTalks - Everything Kubota This time, it was her article: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41390-021-01484-9 Another feather in her cap.... Not sure you...

Just watched “Aerial America” episode on State of Montana. That’s beautiful country! I’ve never traveled much from my very rural part of upstate New York. Lots of places I’ll never see. Several years ago, there was a TV show about several different farm families in Montana. Caught my eye...

There's easily been 55 BX fuel filter replacement/relocation threads. I've read most of them over the last week or so. Almost time to change mine again. Except for a diesel shower/cologne application, I haven't had an issue with the rear "bugger". That said, I'd like to make an improvement...

We have an older laptop computer. Every time there’s a Windows update, I cross my fingers it’ll work. Been running for almost 45 minutes..... With tax season coming, I hate like hell to replace it just yet. But I should take this as an indication we’re on the downhill side of the computer’s...

While there were a bunch of MD's and PhD's on the research team, our daughter was one of the main authors..... She's not an MD or PhD, but does clinical research at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). She started there with NICU experience...

My Buddy Skeets recently got a B2601, and kept his BX2360 for now. I can't be left behind. Gotta keep up with coal country..... I also have a BX2360 with FEL, BX2750 front-mount snowblower, and 54" MMM. Love the thing, but sometimes it doesn't do what I need it to do. That's joking as far...

Minor thing, but 30 years ago I didn't mind working in the attached, unheated garage in the winter. I'm 30 years older.... :rolleyes: It was 7F this morning. Not frigid by any means for us, but too damn cold for me out there. I don't like being inside. My Dad has the smaller version in his...

Maybe I’m just getting old and cranky. When you get to the pump island, pull through to the last pump to gas up. If you don’t, the next guy has to come in from the other direction, or wait behind you while the next pump in the island sits unused. For me, it’s second nature...Am I the only one...

Many of us own one or many tractors other than Kubota(s). Kind of tucked away in Off Topic, hopefully this is a good spot to make mention of your non-Kubota tractor without taking away from the OTT’s mission. Three or four years in the making, this is my “other tractor,” a 1952 or ‘53-ish...

Shot in the dark. There’s some smart folks here. 2016 Nissan Rogue S. Son’s car. 4 cylinder, I don’t know displacement. About 70k miles. Very good shape. Had it over a year. Couple months ago, it just died/quit. First thought was alternator, but blew fuse to ECM such that didn’t throw a code...

Not in a rush, but sometimes fall begets sales/discounts. I'm rough on a grill. I work them hard and hot. Use quite a lot of marinates with oil. Fires, etc. ensue. I went through a good, but cheapie grill every 3 years, with new burners at 18 months. A few I had the base castings...

Last week I started this thread about "My" tractor. Starter had locked it up, and Dad thought the engine was seized. Turned out it was the starter. https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/made-my-dad-happy-today.46999/ There's guys that know a lot more than me about getting the...

“My” Minneapolis Moline resides at my Dad’s house. It will come to my house someday. Dad is 82. He and my grandfather bought the tractor used in 1956 for the farm. I grew up with it. He hates the tractor sometimes, but loves it for our farm heritage and memories of his own father. Wednesday...

I'm an ol' farm boy. We always have had enough in the freezers to survive a long while. Like many, we're storing more freezer stuff than we used to for longer periods. We're buying more 40-pound cases of chicken, have a quarter of beef in the freezer, always bought haddock in 10 pound boxes...

I couldn’t find the other thread about the Museum I’ve been part of for 20 years. Member Daren Todd stopped there a couple years ago and posted some great pictures. The Car Museum has been closed due to COVID since March. We finally had an Executive Committee meeting in person a couple weeks...

Not sure species yet, but a pair of hawks was bringing sticks, long grasses, etc. in to a white pine all morning. Definitely nest-building. Tree is just 40 yards from my back door up the hill in our woods. Many raptors nest late-winter around here. Kind of cool. I'll try to get a...

This has come up a few times recently. Do you/should you start the tractor and let it warm up when it's stored in the off-season or for extended times of non-use? I use my little BX 12 months a year, but it's sat for about 3 weeks since no snow to blow. Long-range forecast looks like it...
