I was out of town yesterday, but got a call from our local Kubota Dealership, about a recall on my 2014 BX25D. We personally know the Service Manager, so I know it’s no type of scam. He had a Mobil service tech out doing the part swap ( take out the old, install the new sensor) and my wife was...

With keeping snow removal equipment on the tractor, either the front snow blower or hydro blade, I don’t have a bucket to easily load firewood on the porch. So using a cheap rear bumper hitch hauler, and cutting up an old class 3 hitch receptacle, I made up a dual height loader assy hitch that...

Looking at the thread on how many hours people have on their tractors. I know I over maintain my BX, oil changes every 100 hours, fuel and air filters too often. But, is there a number that is a good time to do major work to them? Ie: rings, glow plugs at 3K hours etc.

No snow blower usage yet, and nothing in the forecast for the next week. This is the latest with no real snow and below freezing temps here in N Idaho that I can remember.

I have a 2014 BX25D, and although I have never had issue with starting or charging, I’m going to pick up a new fresh battery for it. I think I’ve gotten max life out of it, after almost 10 years, so off to get a new one today, BEFORE it is an issue. I do use my tractor every month, and...

We just got about 20” of heavy wet snow, and it was just about raining slush, with high 30’s temps expected. This is terrible conditions for using the snow blower. It would definitely clog and blow shear pins regularly. Using my little BX25D, with a front hydraulic blade and a rear QD blade at...

I picked these up for yard art, as they are very ornate. They look somewhat like JD B wheels from the 20’s-30’s but I have not found these on a tractor anywhere. Hope someone here can help me identify them. After pressure washing them, there was some red paint a few layers down. I would estimate...

Always a problem carrying tools, chainsaws, parts etc. Took apart a wooden crate, and ground the rust off an old piece of angle iron, a little cutting, welding and a few screws, now I can carry needed items with me. A solid lid to use as a work bench too. I’ll mount my chainsaw carrier to it as...

I know it’s been covered many times, and it’s a simple process. But…. It’s one of those things that may get ignored for a time, as it is a minor repair. Just like changing fluids if greasing zincs, if it’s done on a regular basis, it may help make everything else last longer as well. It took...

Not wanting to Buffalo in on the thread below about parting out old trailers, I knew a gentleman who was removing a Mobil trailer, and going stick built on their property. I acquired the I beam frame rails, and repurposed them as cross supports for my garden tractor/ range cover. The BX could...

As I tend to over maintain my Kubota BX, I was wondering if I had a batch of bad fuel when at idle I was noticing some surging. Time to get it in the air and change the fuel filters. With a clean container, to see if there may be water in my fuel, I changed the rear filter first, and noticed...

With the ( almost) coming of spring, off went the Front snow blower and rear blade, back to the Grapple to start cutting wood, in the cool weather. Already took the land plane out and graded off the roads to the main paved connector road. Time for what I call spring cleaning. Get the...

This year we are really having a deer problem. They are eating all the new trees, and colorful plantings. So started a fence line from the front gate, running about 75 feet off, along the North, to the N side of the shop, about 550 feet away. Theres a natural game trail north of where the new...

There’s a pretty good assortment of ages on this sight, those of you that remember the 10 year running TV Show Gunsmoke (1956-1965?) with Marshal Matt Dillon, Miss Kitty, Festus etc. I think there still running reruns on TV land. The film sight is near where I am wheeling in S Utah near all the...

Hello all fellow OTT Kubota Owners, wanna be’s and enthusiasts. Here is the date for the second installment of the “Kubota Games” competition and BBQ. We are located just outside beautiful Coeur D’Alene Idaho, in the North Pole area. Lots of information about the area, in the last Kubota Games...

Found a place that does major highway projects, so when they replace the metal and wood K rails, they give the used parts away for free. 8”x8”x6’ long) This is my second load of Ties, and they stack so well when making shooting backstops. I cleared a road thru a thin spot in the forest, looking...

Lots of talk about building trailers, axles, brakes, etc. with a little time and a stack of metal and wood, you can turn a $400. Beater into a nice looking, great towing usable trailer. I cleaned this up and added the removable sides for a buddy. I was pushing for Kubota Orange, but his wife...

I don’t want to hijack the current thread on side by sides. I am looking at the General 1000 EPS Premium. It’s half work horse and half fun toy. Still has good capacities, Tow hitch and dump bed, but I want to drive to town and all around, so pavement comfort, along with hard top, doors, heater...

I've had two recovered bullets, from previous successful hunts, that are in good enough shape to Reload and reuse on two hunts again this year. A 405 grain hardcast .458, originally used in a 1874 Shiloh Sharps to harvest an Elk way North in Saskatchewan. I Reloaded it and used a 1885...

I know when I use the snow blade to clear my roads, it stears better without the backhoe or any weight on the back. Question with a front mounted snow blower BX5450HD does it steer better with weight ON the back or OFF?
