    Radiator Genie?

    On another thread a forum member posted an image of the Radiator Genie set. One for wand for attaching to an air compressor and one for attaching to a garden hose. BX2380 for those unaware is sort of "backwards". Radiator in the rear. Bit tight space around the radiator for cleaning beyond...

    Service Notices, Extended Warranty?

    Traded in the NH compact for the BX this past April. Only 2nd tractor owned. NH was free of any issues outside of normal wear for ~25 years of ownership. Never received any service notices from NH. Assuming none ever needed or NH doesn't issue notices. Does Kubota issue service notices if...

    Nomenclature

    My little Kubota is the BX2380. Specs note 21.7 max HP. So what does the 23 and 80 or 2 and 380 or any other combinations of numbers refer to? Assuming the X is for smaller than B?

    Trailer tire load?

    My trailer is rated to carry a ~1475# max load. Previously just used it as a road utility trailer and for hauling firewood from the various stacks around the 40. BX2380 without loader fits on the trailer, but when checking the inflation pressure on the tires noticed the sidewall specs noted...

    Box blade tilt angle.

    Finally getting some rain today. Sitting on a relatively good quality air AQI (34) island. Surrounded by areas approaching 200. Thoughts hit the old brain regarding grading the driveway with the box blade a couple days ago. Hopefully not warped thoughts from breathing in bad air from...

    3 pt movement speed.

    The hydraulics on the BX 3 pt has a significantly different feel relative to the old NH. One issue I'm experiencing and not dealing with too well is the speed and distance of movement of the implements as you transition from "slow" to the extreme end of lowering. On the NH the lift and drop...

    Stupid moments and a new tractor.

    Downsized from a compact NH to the Kubota BX. Stupid moments = events that should not occur. 1st are you that stupid moment. NH had a single rocker pedal. Brake pedal positioned where the forward pedal is on the BX. When needing to stop going in reverse I hit the BX's forward pedal. Bit...

    Schizo weather

    Our daytime highs will probably average out to be "normal" +/- couple degrees F for May. Deceptive. Bit over a week ago we had a few day unusually warm days (high mid to upper 80s) with S breeze. Then the winds veered onshore. Cold Canadian air blowing over the cold (upper 30sF) surface of...

    Scraper grader use question.

    Have a box scraper and back blade for driveway maintenance. New to box blade operation. New Kubota BX. Controlling the 3 point is a different "feel" than on the old NH. Right now my driveway transitions from up and down segments have developed valleys over time from my moments snowplowing...

    Off road, dumping trailer?

    Downsized to the BX. Thinking about eventually purchasing a smaller "wood hauling" trailer. Max capacity of 1/2 ton. Keep me from doing something stupid vs. using the existing trailer. Any experience and recommendations with a model that has a dump feature? Locally (within an hours...

    BX2380, R4 tire pressure.

    Previous tractor was a NH compact with R1s. Kept the psi more or less at the middle of the recommended psi range. The BX manual note just a single psi. Do you BX owners just set it at the manual spec and adjust for the changing seasonal temperatures?

    Battery questions???

    Tractor use is now down to just driveway maintenance. Which is just winter snow removal. Spring and autumn grading if needed. Hauling firewood in the Spring and Autumn from stacks spread around the 40. Summer? Tractor for the past decade has more or less just sat. The NH had an Optima...

    Extension pins for lower 3 pt implement hook up

    Traded in the old 7ft for a lightly used LandPride 60" back blade. It is not QH05 compatible. Old blade was a bit on the too large side for the BX, but the bottom pin were properly spaced for the QH05. Top link pin lacked space for the QH05 top hook. Opposite issue now. The lower pins span...

    QH05 Operation

    For all you other newbies to quick hitches. Was having some issues detaching implements with the quick hitch. New BX. New to quick hitches. Didn't realize the top hook on the QH was binding a bit on the top connector bushing. Initially the box scraper was set up properly by the dealer to drop...

    2" receiver for trailer ball mount

    I purchased a HeavyHitch model. Requires removing the fracture ball mount plate and using those four bolts to mount the HH in place. Ran into an issue yesterday. Could not remove the four bolts. 1/2" drive ratchet. No go. Broke out the 18" Crescent style wrench. No go. My truck wheels require...

    Grapple Claw storage?

    Is it best to store for both short (days) and long(months) term with the grapple fully open resting on the lower and upper tines? Or can I just leave it when detached with grapple closed and upright? Stored inside the garage. LandPride short video demonstrated removal. Presenter opened up...

    Quick Hitch Adapter?

    Guessing topic has been discussed. Search term "quick hitch adapter" yield 9 pages. Didn't look beyond the 2nd page. I'm old and lazy. Dropped off the payment for the BX today. Probably shouldn't have, but did spend some time in the used implement area. Added an almost new 48" Land Pride...

    Ballast counter weight for claw grapple

    Any approximate amount of counter weight recommended for the 54" Kubota (land pride) claw grapple? Keeping the 90's vintage 7ft back blade. Guessing around #300. Only real counter weight owned. Which would be close to the max lift weight of the grapple. Good enough? But the plan might be to...

    BX2380. Block heater v. magnetic heater?

    The old NH being replaced by the Kubota has a block heater. Bit of a need during winter up here in the Northwoods. I need to check with the dealer if there is one installed on the BX. Same dealer I purchased the NH +20 years ago. Block heater was a standard dealer added feature on the...

    BX2380 steering connecting rod boot?

    Downsizing from a cat2 NH to the BX. Tractor and implements on order or in the process of set up at dealer. One of the issues noted on a few YTube BX2380 videos was the relatively low durability of the connecting rod boot. Older videos viewed. IIRC, a few of the people noted only 2 y/o...
