The brake on these little BX tractors should not be needed to slow or stop the tractor in most conditions. Just taking your foot off the HST pedal should bring it to a gradual stop. If you are having to get on the brake to get it stopped/slowed down, something in the HST pedal or linkage is...

Then there were the barns to clean out also. Sure did my share of spreading that kind of fertilizer. No loaders or skidsteers, we loaded those darn manure spreaders with a pitchfork. Some say I've been spreading fertilizer around for most of my life but I think that's an exaggeration.

Some more info came out of the old memory bank, for what it might be worth. My spreaders were 300 or 400 lb capacity, and I had about 6 acres of open field. For fertilizer, it usually took 2 fills of the hopper to cover the 6 acres. The spreader would broadcast about 25-30 feet to each side...

I will give a second recommendation for a corrosion-resistant spreader. My first speader was the usual sheet metal type often sold at discount farm supply stores. Rusted out in just a few years, even with being rinsed out after every use. Replaced it with a better grade spreader having a poly...

Just another suggestion. The foot pedal pivot hardware is prone to gathering debris, mud and whatever else is on your boots. The more crud there is, the less cooperative it becomes. Keep it clean and lubed.

If you are just getting into tractors, the large L and MX models are a good size to work with. While the larger M series is heavier and more capable, it requires larger, more expensive implements and could be a bigger challenge for a low-hours operator. Also, the Grand L's and MX's shound be...

This comes up from time to time. Can only add that the statement about loaded tires and backhoes has been in Kubota manuals for more than 20 years. Dealer told me it was because the ROPS was only designed to prevent a full rollover up to a certain amount of weight. So it was a warning for...

New Kubotas arrive at the dealer crated from the factory and the final setup is done at the dealer. Ideally all necessary parts are at hand, but it wouldn't surprise me if the people doing the assembly work sometimes need to "improvise" a little to get a tractor ready. Someone might, for...

The experts here have all the knowledge and I can't add much to their good advice, but I noticed there a couple of things that haven't come up so far. 1. It is suspicious that the problems showed up just after service work was done. The big question is who did what ? 2. The 4 in 1 bucket will...

Very nice setup for that BH92! Those are heavy backhoes, approaching 2,000 lbs for the hoe and the subframe. Talk about rear ballast! Mine - an older model, but similar - sat on cribbing timbers when not in use. Never liked that but didn't have the imagination to build what you did. Very cool!

Suggestions: * As others have said, it's not aluminum, it's steel. Try to figure out if that "post" is rusted in place or bent from smacking something. * Try the heat treatment with LIGHT tapping (not beating it to death!) to slowly get it loose. * Do the same thing after using a good...

You have a ski jump there! The kids probably love it but a summertime regrading project would make your winter chores easier & safer.

Not a situation for half-way messures. Go for the most effective setup you can put together. I plowed snow commrrcially with a 4x4 back in the day. It's hard to beat chains on all 4 wheels - that's probably your best option to have enough available traction for plowing snow on an 18...

L4760 also uses the LA1055.

Just to pin down some basics about how you are operating your 2601. How long a warmup before starting work? Engine rpm and H, M or L range for loader work? Anything on the leading edge of the loader, such as a toothbar, to help loosen your dirt pile? Do you ease up or press harder on the HST...

You might be able to get that 4672 backhoe to fit your L2501. Local or otherwise, the real question is still should you do it or not? Your decision, but consider what you plan to do with it. Occasional digging/trenching in mild soil conditions (i.e. light usage)? Take it easy and it might...

I think that was the one BX model series that Kubota switched to using plastic for various parts like the hood, rear fenders, etc., for some reason. Was not popular with owners and they went back to steel with the next series. You may want to check the condition of those parts for cracks, faded...

The Grand L's are kind of nose heavy to begin with. Then the loader assembly adds another 1,500 lbs or so to the front making it even more nose heavy. So when the loader is mounted, pretty much the last thing it needs is more weight in the front. If anything, it really begs for weight in...

You will find that getting the right balance makes all the difference in how much work gets done. Compact tractors tend to be light in the back particularly with a loader up front. The 4wd can disguise the imbalance on level ground leaving you unaware that there may be too much weight on the...

Good decision! Very handy accessory! I worked alone quite often and the Farmi snatch block saved me a lot of back & forth walking over rough ground. Hope yours works out well also!
