My Grammar seat with air suspension allows lumbar support, goes up/down, front/back and the back of the seat can move towards the rider. The OEM Kubota seat leans back pretty far and if I leaned back, it was just too much of a slouched position. Uncomfortable, in that aspect.

I have a John Deere 316 and replaced the stock seat, which only uses springs, with a K&M Grammar Air Suspension seat with 12V compressor. However, because of the gas fill spout, the seat could only go so far back and although it was very comfortable for my 3 hour cutting, it was hard to get in...

Mine is a BX1870. I think it can only lift 900 lbs. Is yours similar to mine?

When I picked up my tractor, I saw they had a Quick Hitch for sale (last one) and I figured, what the heck, so now I can create an easy to pick up ballast. I want to have something to tow a trailer, but I don’t really have plans to use the back end stuff except to tow and ballast. Let’s say I...

That’s my plan too!

I was at the dealer yesterday and I asked about ballast for the front loader on my 1870. He said Kubota recommends 300#. So, I'll go a little more, 400#, and use chains on the rear tires, and nothing on or inside the front tires. He suggested a newer idea of tire grips that use rubber cross...

Thanks for the info. I think I’ll keep plain turf tires on the front and chains on the rear with a 500# ballast, which seems to be the commonly suggested weight.

I worked in industry where I had to learn how to maintain/repair 250 pieces of machinery. I’m feeling like we just got a bunch of new equipment. My brain is swimming right now with all the things I have to know right now because I never had a 3PH or implements before. I’m trying to buy the...

The dealer said he had landscapers that clear snow in the Winter and they use turf tires because they are more flexible. I used plain turf tires on my Deere with a plow and the only issue was that they oversteered on icy snow, but I was still able to keep it straight. So, maybe I don’t really...

Ok now i understand how you pick up a skid. Is the top rail made of two pcs of 1/4" steel bar? And the tubing is standard wall thickness? So you hook this to the 3 pt hitch and add the forks

I called the longtime local kubota dealer and he said they don't recommend adding anything to the tire, no weights, no liquid, no chains, unless I want problems with the 4 wheel drive. The weight of the bucket is enough and he recommends turf tires

I am using turf tires

I have a BX1870 and am preparing for snow removal with the loader. I don't see a problem using chains on the rears, but how can they be used on the front wheels since the steering arm is so close to the wheel. I've seen the word spacers, but are chains unnecessary anyway.

How do you pick up this carryall? Can you show some pics?

Another question is how much weight is needed as ballast for a front end loader? If the loader is rated to lift approx. 500 lbs, how much ballast is more than enough on the back?

Can you show a picture of this. What do you lift it with?

I’ve been checking out u tube videos on making a ballast. I’d like to hear more about removable pin vs. moving the lower links in and out. Can someone offer a more detailed explanation of this or point me to an existing link?

I’m really glad I saw that previous post and checked into this. If I found the proper sized rims and hopefully some used tires to put chains around, would a used tire cause an off balanced ratio?

I’m a little late to this conversation but this is why I chose my BX1870 this week. I have about 2.5 acres to mow and have been using a JD316 for years. I recently started helping out at a camp where I mow at least 5-10 acres with a BX22XX. It was so nice to have power steering and a more...

Hello all. I just bought a BX1870. I came across an old post about non-stock wheel sizes and the warnings. Besides larger or smaller rims and tires having clearance problems with implements, the thread indicated issues with the drivetrain. In 2 wheel drive, I wouldn’t see an issue, but in...
