    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Sold it. My BX25 was my first tractor 2 years ago. Love that little machine, but little wasn't getting it done for me anymore so I moved up in size and switched brands. There will always be an orange spot in my heart.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Also did some work at my neighbors house. This is the neighbor who has come to my rescue more times than I can count, so whenever he asks, I jump. Had to scratch up the surface of about half an acre of grass, so he could plant clover. He did not want to till the soil, so i used my York rake...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I love my new mini excavator (not Kubota and certainly not new, but it is mine). On one side of my driveway, there is an area of rocks and boulders that is right up against the drive, which makes snow plowing in that spot a PITA. I tried to tackle that spot once with the BX, and no love at...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I admired my BX through the windows in my house, all weekend long. WAY too hot and humid to do anything.

    What About Your Tractor Makes You Swear?

    This x1000. I have used my BX for a lot of front end loader work since new. I tried all sorts of solutions. Filled tires were the answer for me.

    What About Your Tractor Makes You Swear?

    Now I remember. The tension nut for the throttle on my BX comes loose. Minor PITA, but when you tighten it, you have to get it juuuust right, or it goes loose again right away. And juuuust right is 1/16 of a turn loose from "I can't move the throttle"

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Neighbor came up with his case 580 and knocked down the big piles of dirt into a semi flat area for me. Used scraper and rake to level it out. Use FEL, scraper and rake to pull a bunch of topsoil from top of hill to lower part of hill and smooth out. I really like my rake, but starting to...

    The POS little bitty front tires on my BX. Do any heavy FEL work? Flats. Let them sit? Flats. Get dirt on the rim? Flats. Have them filled? No flats and a much happier guy.

    Kubota HP ratings, new vs. old

    I used tractor data for this, so take it FWIW. B1700 has 17 HP at 2600 RPM BX25 has 25 HP, but at 3200 RPM So the B1700 has 68% of the HP of a BX BUT B1700 has 34 lb ft of torque where the BX25 has 41 lb ft of torque So the B1700 has 83% of the torque of the BX25 Again, torque is actual...

    appropriate use of tow behind grader blade

    I am new tractor owner and blade owner myself. I just purchased a 6' blade for the back of my BX. I also have a 6' Landscape rake. I pushed and pulled with the landscape rake to great affect. I put the blade on and did some pulling, and it bounced and skipped, even when angled. I tried...

    Kubota HP ratings, new vs. old

    On of my big issues with HP being used to rate tractor motors is that HP is probably the least useful data when it comes to tractor work. Torque is much more useful when it comes to tractors. HP is a measure of torque vs RPM, specifically HP = Torque x RPM ÷ 5252 Let me explain. Let's...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I picked up the HF quick hitch. Worked well for my BB, Grading Blade and Rake. Worked OK for the Chipper. I had to mount the top link connector to the very bottom hole, which let it pivot. Worked, but not great. Hooked up the Titan BX chipper, got the PTO shaft in place, lubed the chipper...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Well, I M mostly assembled the Titan chipper. I need to clean up two holes on the discharge chute and put in the bolts. The nut and washer for one of the three poin pins were MIA, so instead of wasting 2 hours running to the store, i switched gears and used the 6' rake I bought at TS. So far...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Not necessarily "today" but def over the past few weekends. I used a Case CX160 to do some serious excavating, for a 24x40 pole barn. Also used that machine to get rid of about 10 80' trees around the house. Now where my Kubota comes in. I moved the equivalent of 20 loads of fill from the...
