Insure you are giving the engine enough speed...

I like you only had lawn mower garden tractors. I bought a used Kubota Bx1880 this past September. It had 80 hours on the tractor, and after I got it home I did a little inspection, only to find that no maintenance had been done at the 50 hr mark. I purchased new motor oil, and the Kubota...

I have heard a lot of stories about using concrete to fill the ballast boxes. Sounded good at first, but then I see problems. I suggest buying crushed stone the size or an inch or slightly bigger. Pour them in and if you need to remove some scoop some out. You need more pour in another bag.

Odd, as that is exactly the knob I have on my steering wheel. I will pick up another and That should work.

Will do tnx

I love almost everything about the BX2816 snowblower except the manual chute control. The rod that comes back for your right hand to turn, is always catching on my gloves, and I find it annoying. I was thinking of a knob that would thread on to the end, where you could just spin it right or...

i Do the same with cinder blocks. I find that while working the tractor and the plug aerator, that you look back and say what have I done to my lawn. However even tearing the lawn up, a week or two later it looks better than ever.

I purchased a pull behind model from AgriFab, I got the 48' size, but could easily have done with a shorter 36 or 42 inch size. You can do a lot of aerating with a short version. You just have your tractor in travel, without any running implements, and things go real fast. I do my aerating...

It is all doable with a little think on how. We all have different needs, and I have solved most of mine.

That is exactly how I feel. I don't need my ballast box to carry a shovel, rake, but I do need it to carry my chain saw. This way I have oil, spare gas, and can work on the chain saw with the ballast box as a platform in the woods..

I saw a short video of a fellow that built a cover for his ballast box. I liked his idea and decided to expand on it. The cover consist of 3/8 inch plywood with one inch sides. It fits on the top of the ballast box and slides in to where the 3pt quick hitch with a cutout. I found some used...

So to highlight for others my Kubota ballast box problem with a Quick hitch. If you have this ballast box do not purchase a quick hitch. Doesn't matter what quick hit it is. it is visible that the two bottom side pins are tucked in too far, and don't extend out far enough for the bottom of...

For GWT. Unfortunately Courtney, I just bought it from you. I do not blame GWT or you for the fact that it doesn't fit my Kubota ballast box. GWT was just great to do business with. I put the blame on myself being new to the tractor world. The Speeco hitch is great and hooked right up, but...

Oh I have seen a lot of the ideas that fellow owners did to their ballast boxes, even building their own and adding chain saw slots, and places for gear.. I have actually done the same with this kubota box. I plan on showing some pic's of it one of these days. I like the box better than the...

Sure was. Being new to the tractor world, I do too much assuming.

That is correct. I naively thought that the Speeco or any QH like the one above would work. I found out from others that have the same Kubota ballast box that they don't talk the same lingo. I so wanted it too. Anyway I have it for sale after owning it for one day. I just won't get a QH. I...

I've dragged out a couple of pic's of my Kubota ballast box off the web. it really doesn't matter now as I listed the Speech quick hitch for sale this morning, and already have a buyer. Now I know why Kubota stoped building ballast boxes.

I'm old school, and like manual that are paper, although I also have the owners manual and Workshop manuals. Being old school, i felt I had to have the paper owners manual for my BX tractor so I purchased it through Messicks. It wasn't cheap as it was over $50, but it was crystal clear print...

Actually I have done a lot of that to my Kubota ballast box, and prefer to keep the BB over a QH. So The brand new Speeco cat 1 QH is now for sale on Craigslist and FB Mktplace. Your box looks great and I am big into mods.....

So I decided to buy a Speeco Quick hitch for my BX1880 tractor and ballast box. Not for a second did I anticipate my Kubota ballast box wouldn't line up to the Speeco. My Kubota ballast box that has a slanted in sides. Looks like I need to keep the Speeco, and sell my kubota box, and buy a...
