    Mower blades, regular, mulching, or high lift?

    I have a BX2200, RCK60, and a GCK bagger. My issues are when using the bagger (1)the leaves don't get cut up fine and(2) when I mow, leaves blow out the front right of the mower deck and not getting sucked up by the bagger. I am still using the original Kubota blades but thinking if new blades...

    Mulch?

    I can fix things but don't understand dirt! I have piles of leaves that have been decomposing over the years, I occasionally turn them over. I have mixed in a little subsoil which I have piled up. I put some of this out, but it doesn't seem to grow grass very well. What should I do to the...

    The tractor didn't want to move - Front tires Pidgeon toed

    With all the chatter about steering cylinders, that was my first thought, it being 22 years old. Upon inspection though, I found one of the tie rod ends had come off - the nut was missing. Well, I had them off a couple of years ago to fix the inner boot, I'm sure I put cotter pins in, but it...

    I finally broke down and bought...

    Been wanting a box blade for years. I finally broke down and bought the Land Shark 54" From everything attachments. Now I just have to wait 3 months for them to build it. Last year I built a land plane, but the materials were too light and it just didn't work like I expected. I want to level...

    Box blade for snow?

    I Usually plow with a blade mounted on my loader arms but find it difficult to pull snow away from garage doors. We get nice heavy snow that packs well so is hard to pull back. I was thinking of a back blade but feel it may not be heavy enough for ballast. Then I thought maybe a box blade. I...

    GCK60 Mice ate my bags work in progress

    The title says it all. Priced the bags from Kubota and remembered how much fun it was to empty the bags. I removed the top and the bag hanging frame from the GCK60. Built a frame that bolts up to where the hanging frame mounted. Bought the skins from two used top loader washing machines...

    LA211 valve modifications

    I have a LA211 with the old 3-way valve made by Husco. I compared the parts list for the 4-way and 3-way and ordered the parts I'd need to convert it. Well, it didn't work. I assume there may be something different about the casting. So I am now going to add another single spool valve after...
