    Kubota BX80 tractor mirrors

    I thought the mirrors all looked the same with different prices. Think I will just spring for the better one that cost about 100 smacks.

    Kubota BX80 tractor mirrors

    I looked at that idea.. Bolting them on. I just didn't know if the $20 dollar mirrors were worth the purchase. Seems if you get the mag ones, and don't have a support wire sometimes they can get knocked off. i hate to drill through the loader support in case, I lose the mirrors to breakage.

    Kubota BX80 tractor mirrors

    I have been pondering magnetic mirrors for my BX80, and there are dozens of them. I want the ones that have the magnets, to fit to the side of my loader arms. They range in price from $24.99 to $100. They all appear to have similar quality. I don't like to buy cheap crap, but wonder if...

    Tractor shed lemons to lemonaid

    I don't see how someone can say that spruce isn't structural lumber in the USA. Here in the Northeast most homes are 2x4 spruce to 2x12. I have a large home, and it is all spruce except for the walls and floors.

    Kubota dark grey paint for my trailer

    I bought a can of Rustoleum Kubota orange like you, and had searched everywhere for the paint, with zero luck. HD and Lowes both had all the other tractor colors but no Kubota. I notice now that the qt cans of Kubota aren't available. Cripes can't paint dealerships see there is a need.

    I live in the mountains of Western, Maine, and a lot of people here buy the Predator generators from HF, and I was very surprise at how well they worked. Easy start and run great. I however spent a lot more for the Honda, but if I were doing it again, I would get the Predator motor. Friends...

    new to the orange world

    I can say I am new to the orange world too, and actually did not want and orange tractor, but since I purchased one at a good price, I find that I like everything about it. One thing that always impressed me was when something is over kill, and everything about the tractor is that. Totally...

    BX saves time and my back

    I have a glorified lawn mower. It is a John Deere x330, and very good at mowing. i recently bought a BX1880 with FEL, Mower deck, and ballast box, for a decent price. My JD is no comparison to the BX for work you can do. i thought I would sell the JD and just do the mowing with the BX, but...

    New decking on my trailer

    I used to have one similar, and I too have trees that drop everything. My board were slowly rotting, and my Black pain was always rusting. I had to paint the trailer every two years, just to stop rust. Fenders eventually fell off. I sold it for cheap money, then bought a new aluminum...

    Rust Busters...

    Other than the ATF/Acetone mix my best luck was with Kano Kroil, but that is very expensive. I now have another helper which I also like Deep Creep. Kano Kroil loosened a stuck lock nut I had tried for 3 weeks to break loose. Overnight and the Kroil did the job first time.

    Battery maintainer port for my BX1880

    Most battery maintainers come with the male adapter. It will normally have a set of jumper cables, that have a female connector for the male. I personally have two maintainers, one is an older Optimax, and I have a newer one which is better that is a NAPA and that only cost me about $30...

    Battery maintainer port for my BX1880

    I recently purchased a 2019 Kubota BX1880 for landscaping around my property and to assist with snow removal this winter. I had to perform all 50 hr maintenance because the previous owner did not. So like everyone we like to add to our tractor. I just added a port for my battery maintainer...

    anybody running a "secondary air filter" on their BX?

    i also saw that video, and have already ordered the safety air filter. Good maintenance is a lot cheaper that repair maintenance.
