I run the Cyclone Rake “Commander” model behind a BX1870 with a 48” deck. I went small on all three of these (vac, tractor, and deck) because I need to navigate some narrow openings and trails, not to save money. (Though I like to save money. ) I also have some steep hills and the BX18xx has a...

Yeah, I agree that I think the tires deforming a bit under the extra weight is what's triggering this, so I've gone a few PSI over what the manual says for these tires. That may have helped some, but not fixed the problem.

Hard to tell if it's all leaking from one spot, as the tire now has a ring of dried beet juice all around the stem. But I don't think it's leaking much--probably just a few ounces has worked it's way out. I only max out my 3ph when hauling fresh firewood, and just started doing that for this...

One of the rear turf tires on my BX1870 recently started leaking Rim Guard somewhere at the tire bead/rim interface. Tractor is about 4.5 years old, and the the tires are otherwise in fairly good condition. Several months ago one of the plastic tire stems failed, which I learned here on OTT is...

Found this on Amazon a few years ago, sold as a motorcycle clock

Fixed! Despite being further away, I decided to start with my Kubota dealer, hoping they would take care of me quickly. And they did: Got both my rear wheels to them around 9AM Saturday morning, and about 30 minutes later they had installed new metal valve stems and topped off the Rim Guard...

Thanks for the responses. Rim Guard has a web form that once you fill out and submit, sends an automated list of local dealers. I'm in luck that I've got an LS dealer 2 miles away who apparently sells beet juice. Hopefully they'll be able to fix it fast. And yeah, I'm definitely changing...

Attempting to adjust the rear tire pressure on my BX this evening, I unscrewed the plastic valve cover, but the whole valve came loose from the stem, spraying me and half my garage with beet juice. At first I thought the valve core had come out, but it was actually the whole valve--the outer...

You may have a good reason to do it the way you do, but personally, I never have a counterweight on when I'm using the mower deck, and almost always have the mower deck off when I'm using the front end loader, which is mostly when I use the counterweight. Having enough garage (or similar) space...

Gravity is the only thing holding the 3ph and its attachments down. Not sure if adding more weight is a good option for your snowblower, in which case you may need to slow down to maintain better ground contact.

Yeah, normal behavior. And the fix is as DustyRusty says: close down the valve all the way that adjusts the hydraulic flow. I’d also use the mower deck height adjustment to keep the deck in “top.” Less weight on the 3ph will slow the drop. Can’t remember the spec for max lift, but 600kg is way...

Wood stove, with all the fuel free from my property and an occasional downed tree from a neighbor. It not only keeps me warm, but necessitates playing with tractors, saws, mauls, and the other fun toys. And I stay more fit than I otherwise would.

I wasn't there to see it, so all I know is what my dealer told me by email: "We actually went out and looked at what the differences were and why Kubota says we can’t put the 48" deck on the 2370. While the mounting brackets all match the rear gauge wheel will be completely against the tires...

I did couch my answer to the fitment issue saying it was for the BX1870, but I'm pretty sure everything about the mount, tires, and clearances is exactly the same as on the BX1880. So: The 48" deck won't the any but the smallest model BX. As I wrote: My dealer tried to make it fit, and then...

I agree it sounds like a good price. Does it come with a loader? Mower deck? Those would both be expensive to add, but if they're included in that deal, I'd jump on it, assuming it's been well maintained.

Not sure that it matters to you, but this one isn't quick hitch compatible. That would be important to me.

Yes: That's correct. (I fixed all the weird crap in my above post that came from using my phone, and that said the same.) I would have been ok paying extra for the BX23 to get more horsepower, but the 48" deck was a better fit for my property. Lots of positive reviews here and elsewhere on...

Assuming the clearance issues are the same as with the earlier BX2370 model, a 48" deck won't fit, due to the larger tires (compared to the BX1870) hitting the deck's anti-scalp wheels/mounts. I know because I had my dealer try to mount a 48" deck on a BX23 and they couldn't make it work. I...

The Land Pride blades suitable for a BX can be offset by using alternate bolt holes on the moldboard. https://cdn-assets.greatplainsmfg.com/ari/attach/lp/public/features/301-143f.pdf I'm pretty sure I've seen the same on other makes, too. That's okay, I guess, if you want to always keep it...

I too was put off by the price of the Land Pride and EA attachments since I will put an aerator to use only a few times per year. After shopping around, I went with: https://gemplers.com/products/feldmann-engineering-heavy-duty-3-point-hitch-aerator. I got it for $100 less than the current...
