    Quick Hitch Question

    I recently purchased a quick hitch and ballast box from Titan attachments. I assembled everything and added the required category 1 to category 3 bushings on the lower pins, attached it to the tractor and then added a bunch of rocks as they are plentiful on my property. No issues with any of...

    Need for 3rd function

    I considered this option as well but after the first time plowing, I was glad I opted for the third function kit. In addition to the curl function not moving on its own as others have mentioned, I found that I used the curl function quite a bit when stacking snow from large snowfalls. You can...

    OEM Kubota 3rd Function Kit Install

    Thanks. Haha yeah that is the one thing that I'm not a big fan of either, but it is what it is. If you get the optional single point connector for the FEL, all of the hoses actually do that. Fortunately, once I get some land cleared out I won't be spending much time in the woods, but I will be...

    OEM Kubota 3rd Function Kit Install

    So I completed the installation this morning. No leaks and everything works as expected. Assuming you have an intermediate mechanical background this is something you should be capable of doing. Most challenging parts were getting the hard lines and tube stays on the loader arm to cooperate and...

    After one week with the LX2610

    I can report that the R14 tires work well in the snow up to the point where you beach the frame on a snowbank or two. That was with the 24" that we had recently though and I don't see it having any problems with typical snow storms.

    OEM Kubota 3rd Function Kit Install

    For those anxiously awaiting an answer, you can complete the installation without removing the rear tire or the seat. You will need to have small hands and be able to contort your body in inhuman ways, but it can be done. I hope to have this wrapped up tomorrow and I will post additional...

    LX2610 BORA 2" Wheel Spacer Install

    I just ordered the bro-tek 2" spacers today. They may be more expensive than others but I feel that their design is superior and Richard's customer service is second to none. I've also heard good things about the quality of the BORA spacers but I wouldn't use anything other than those two brands...

    Turning a tractor over

    Glad that you survived to tell the tale. I can only imagine how terrifying that is. Back when I rode motorcycles, there was a saying most were familiar with. Shiny side up and rubber side down.

    OEM Kubota 3rd Function Kit Install

    Got some additional garage time after work today and made some more progress. Hard lines are now in and I also added flat face couplers and attached the hoses going from the hard lines to the third function valve. For others interested in this installation, I would suggest taping the hard lines...

    Best snow plow angle?

    The one thing I noticed from your pictures is that your cylinders are further apart on the blade end than the mount end which is the opposite of mine. This may still work fine but if you are not happy you can try switching the setup and see if you like that better.

    OEM Kubota 3rd Function Kit Install

    So progress hasn't been as planned, but I at least got the snapped bolt removed today. Counting that as a win.

    Turning a tractor over

    I dont believe that he did. Basically, the more familiar you become with something, the less you respect it. That is typically when accidents occur...

    Turning a tractor over

    The width of compact tractors make them easier to roll than larger tractors. Best advice is to mow up and down hills and not side to side. Wheel spacers and fluid filled rear tires will also increase stability. Additionally, you should remove the loader when mowing to further improve stability...

    Bx2380 wrong tires

    Glad to hear. My tractor arrived with one 6 ply front tire and one 4 ply front tire. Dealer had never seen it before but they quickly swapped out the 4 ply with a 6 ply. A good dealer is worth thier weight in gold when issues arise.

    Winter Additive For Diesel - for BX Users / All tractors In General

    If I could source offroad diesel and add anti-gel as needed, I would certainly go that route.

    Best snow plow angle?

    Sounds like a great setup and I can't wait to get the 3rd function finished on mine.
