I have a big yard rehab project coming up in the spring due to die off of my bluegrass this year. I have searched for the last few weeks trying to find a good 3 point dethatcher to help with this. Couldn't find anything worth a hoot so I had to raid my steel stash. Spent the last few...

Wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a decent one that doesn't cost $4000. We had something called grass smut attack our bluegrass this year and I have large patches that died. A local reputable lawn service suggested core aerate and overseed with a smut resistant variety of...

I've had the BX for a couple of months now and have had a suspicion for awhile. Tonight I confirmed my suspicion. My hour meter advances one hour for every 46 minutes the tractor is running. The hour meter on my L is dead on. Looked in the WSM and on page 8-46 it gives a brief description of...

Got home from work this evening and had some boxes on the front porch.:D My little low profile LED lights for the ROPS showed up so I quick made up some mounting brackets for them, slapped some paint on them and mounted the lights. I had been waiting to confirm the light dimensions before I...

I've decided that the little guy needs the obligatory ROPS lights as well as a trailer plug in the rear to power a sprayer. The grandkids decided it needs a horn as well.:) I have always liked the Carling series of rocker switches called the Contura. I have used them for years on everything...

Long story short, I bought a BX2380 three weeks ago and at that time I ordered a front weight bracket and five suitcase weights. The bracket showed up last week but I am still waiting for the weights. I need to till up my daughters yard tomorrow because the lawn people are coming Monday to...

Finally got some time today to fiddle with the BX2380 I bought last Saturday. Neat little machine.:D I picked up a quick hitch at Rural King and spent the day altering various attachments to work with it. My questions thus far are: 1) Do all BX's shudder when shut down? Motor mounts...

Well, it had been a great weekend until a few hours ago. Long story short, I spent the last two days dismantling a motocross track I have had out in my field for over 30 years. I was ripping up the berms and jumps with my backhoe and then using the loader to move the dirt to my fencerows...

I was looking at new rotary mowers this weekend and came across them at Rural King. I like the concept but am not sure I like the extra moving hitch parts. If anyone has one, I'd be interested in your opinion of it.

An acquaintance of mine is looking to sell his 2015 BX1870 4WD hydro. I am considering buying it for smaller chores. Wondering if anyone here can tell me if it would be able to pull a six foot wide 1200 pound roller? And, would the three point handle a 40 gallon sprayer? Thanks in advance...

I haven't had to buy TIG electrodes in quite awhile. Today I went to my local welding shop to get some. I have always used 2% lanthanated or thoriated so that is what I asked for. I was told they are no longer allowed to sell that variety because they are "radio active or something". Has...

Thought this story might help others. I spent a productive day getting lots of odds and ends done that I have been putting off. Last chore of the day was to use the loader to pull 26 T-posts that have been holding immature trees for the past two years. I pulled the last post and was getting...

Got a call from my dealer saying a recall has been announced for these tractors. They said they have to send out a mechanic to inspect my machine. Apparently, when they get painted, some kind of plug is inserted somewhere in the PCV valve for masking. I guess a few machines never had these...

Due to the unusually warm and nice weather today, I decided to give the Kubota a bath. Used a wash rag so I was closer to it than with the usual 'spray off and be done' approach. As I was washing the backhoe platform and mount, I noticed what you see in the pictures (looks worse in person)...

Mr. Hodge has another very satisfied customer. My stabilizers for my L3301 arrived at my house Monday but, due to work, I couldn't try them until today. What a difference! So much nicer and easier than turnbuckles. Absolutely top notch craftsmanship too. Here is a couple of pictures showing...

This evening I knocked the 'new' off of my tractor. Was scooping up #2 limestone from a pile and snagged a hidden root. While continuing to lift with the FEL, I backed out of the pile. When the FEL broke free of the root, a shower of stone was launched skyward. Six pieces landed on my hood...

Been wanting front and rear LED worklights , horn and rear accessory jack to plug in sprayers. Decided to build a control panel take care of all at once. Tried to make it look as OEM as possible by essentially extending the range selector plate. Designed to use all existing fasteners so I...

I removed the floorboards and step from my new L3301 and applied a spray on bedliner product. I don't like the scratched paint look and was looking for a more anti-slip surface. Curious if anyone else has tried this. If so, did it prove to be very durable? I was going to take them in to be...

Hello folks. Long time listener, first time caller here. Well, I finally went and did it. I am officially an orange tractor owner. Been needing to replace my '92 Case 1140 and after much research, including the helpful posts here, Santa showed up with his Dodge dually and gooseneck loaded with...
