    Trade a new bota deck or sell and buy a new 3pt deck....?

    I actually listed the deck out of curiosity for 1000.00 to see if anyone was interested, but no luck so far. So not going to really push it or give it away. As for a zero turn, I have one of those also. Its nice to use, but not as heavy duty as the Kubota deck is. Plus, it a real old model thats...

    Trade a new bota deck or sell and buy a new 3pt deck....?

    Thanks for all the replies on this. I did figure a way to do it for now since a lot of ideas had been posted. The shop I have is only a 24' wide by 30' long and having the boat, tool boxes, freezer and wifes yard cart and garden tractor in there along with whatever else we can cram in there...

    Trade a new bota deck or sell and buy a new 3pt deck....?

    Thank you for the link. I really didnt think about removing it in shop near the boat though and then pulling it under the boat. I took it loose outside the shop and then had to move it into the shop and then under the boat. Thanks again....

    Trade a new bota deck or sell and buy a new 3pt deck....?

    Well, considering I really cannot bend over to good from the 3 vertebra I shattered and compressed makes moving anything heavy around a real pain (literally). And yes, I did turn the wheels so it slid out from under the tractor, I even have the pins set so the wheels can turn so can move it...

    Trade a new bota deck or sell and buy a new 3pt deck....?

    I kinda figured I would take a beating on it if I sold it. And I was looking for a rear mount finish mower to replace it with...hmmmmm.....lets just say, they think highly of them. As for removing the mmm, it really was not that bad. Moving it around the shop is the pain. have not tried to hook...

    BX25D loader control valve quandary

    It went great. Dealer had no problems getting it done. Have to say, I have read a few war stories on some dealers and having warranties work done, but this was a walk in the park. Also made me feel better about it for the future repair work. (knock on wood, wont need any)

    Trade a new bota deck or sell and buy a new 3pt deck....?

    When I got the little BX, it was in the deal that it came with a new mmm. Now that its here and I have taken it of once but yet to reinstall it, I am thinking twice about it. Little history....Broke my back in a dirt bike wreck 15 or so years ago, and with this issue I find I am limited on...

    BX25D loader control valve quandary

    Well, got the call. So loaded up the trailer and went to get it the BX. Long story short is they have it fixed even though to me it was not really broken. I ask the service guy what the deal was, and he said they changed the spool for the front end loader and had to swap 3 lines around. So, Why...

    Quick Hitch for a BX25?

    I started looking into one of these when I got the BX. Just cannot justify paying 250 to 300 for a QH that looks like the one at HF. I will update how good it is and how well it works. Have a feeling that a mod will be in order, but 30 min worth of time to save a lot is no big deal....Have...

    Quick Hitch for a BX25?

    Check a Harbor Freight store if you have one. I just looked into one for my BX also. They have them for about 100.00 or so. Looks the same as some I have seen at the big box stores I seen online. I will getting one from them in the next few days also for my box blade....Hope this helps.

    Briggs and Stratton 15.5HP engine running loud

    My dad used to work on lawnmowers and stuff when I was a kid....many many moons ago. The biggest problem with over half the ones he would work on that sounded as if they were knocking had carbon build-up on the pistons. He would always ask if they let it idle a lot and if so that was bad for...

    BX25D loader control valve quandary

    Well, my new BX went on the trailer and dropped of at the shop. Had the service guy come out and the salesman to look at it...... LOL.....Both scratched their heads on this one. So we went and looked at another BX in the yard....It was as everyone on here said it should be. So they say they are...

    BX25D loader control valve quandary

    I dont think he really looked at me as a new user was the problem. Being as I told him I was selling my JD and getting the Kubota. I think it was more like a car dealer selling a car....he would expect you to know a good bit if you drive....so why should he explain everything. It all ok though...

    BX25D loader control valve quandary

    This is a brand new unit. It had 1 hour on it when I got it. The extra bucket valve that is there, is not shown in the book, and I searched the web for a few hours trying to find some thing on it with no luck and the dealer didnt even show it to me. So the only way to know it was there, is if by...

    BX25D loader control valve quandary

    I feel kinda like a newbee with this issue. I thought all was good till I tried to explain what it was doing on another thread and called my dealer to find out what was going on. I agree with you. The service guy even said the same thing. Its no big deal though. I am just wondering if there...

    I'm headed down the road of scaring the crap out of her. I know why she wants to learn....If she ever gets really mad at me.....people are going to have a hard time finding me our here in the country. It digs to 6' just right as she says....LOL. It will be alright if I can keep up the excuses...
