    Strange attachments

    Yes! My brother and used to do this on cross country trips back in the 60s. We also used to ride on the tailgate on short drives to the dump. We're both still here.

    One of those days!

    Really sorry to hear this NIW. It won't make it any easier, but I (and a whole lot of others here I guess) know the feeling.

    Awesome dogs / Crazy pets Thread

    Love seeing your dogs. We lost our Lacey this past June, six weeks before her 14th birthday. Hurt like heck. They're family. Not sure we'll ever get another dog.

    I don't care who you are. That's funny.

    Rear Blade with Offset for BX

    I have this EA six-way blade on my little BX and it works fine offset, uphill and through snow (with chains) as much as 12 inches deep. I'll normally offset and angle the blade enough to roll snow off into the ditches bordering the driveway until I get to our flat landing pad next to the garage...

    3-Point core aerator?

    I just recently picked up that 48" Agrifab core aerator shown above. At $229 from Lowes and given an estimated use of once or twice a year on 4-5 acres of lawn, I figured that it was worth the small investment. It takes a couple of hours to assemble and is built fairly sturdy. The knives are...

    Selling BX turfs but where and how much?

    I picked the set up from him for $250, including a set of clamp on forks. They're on my BX now, and the R4s are in the shed awaiting heavy duty. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

    Tap/Thread size for BX25 front hubs?

    Reporting back to confirm that the front lug bolts are 9/16 - 18 TPI. Thread restorer worked great. Thanks all. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

    Thank you. Thread restorers may be the way to go.

    Thank you, NIW. So 9/16 UNF (18 tpi)?

    Tap/Thread size for BX25 front hubs?

    I have damaged (or debris-filled) threads on one position of my front hub after the old lug bolt seized. I'd like to run a tap through to see if I can't restore the threads. Does anybody know what tap size I should use? Measurements indicate it's an M14x1.5 but I'd like to confirm before...

    Selling BX turfs but where and how much?

    Vidiot, I'm in your neck of the woods - a couple of miles south of Hamilton, off Loudoun Orchard. When getting some replacement R4 wheels on my BX25, I did as 200mph talked to, headed to Sales rather than Parts (at Browning) and got the whole goods pricing. So that's the place I'd start when...

    Amazing STOL

    I learned to fly more than 30 years ago. One day, an old tail-dragger Piper Cub was in line for take off just in front of me. I was a young pilot and was floored to see it lift off the ground in about 50 feet. It was the first time I'd seen such a thing. As I recall, the wind that day wasn't a...

    How about a "real" fuel filter and housing for the BX25/26?

    The Eclipse

    Thought I'd post a couple of pictures from our visit to Nashville. This picture, taken by my sister-in-law, is of me and my daughter watching it all happen right before our eyes. And, this next one is of the "diamond ring" effect. Note the solar flare at three o'clock.

    The Eclipse

    View from Nashville today. This is a cell phone picture taken of my DSLR monitor after snapping a picture of the diamond ring effect. Definitely a remarkable experience. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    If I could design a Kubota, it would have.....

    Simple wish: I'd hinge the ROPS on my Bx25 a little higher so it could fold all the way down and keep the overall length shorter. As it is, I have to back it into my small shed with the ROPS hanging out over the backhoe and bucket that are against the far wall. Sent from my tablet...

    The Eclipse

    Going to turn this into a bonding experience with my youngest (17) daughter before she's off to college next year. Will drive to Nashville and stay with my brother-in-law. Got 10 pairs of glasses and filters for my telephoto lens. Now I just need a clear sky. Keeping up with the forecast. So...

    Sabre Samurai hydraulic hookup & options

    Gotta love it. I'll probably add either rear or third function hydraulics at some point but not right away. It sounds like you're still liking the Samurai, though. Can you comment on the build quality and durability? How long have you been using it now? Any issues or complications to speak of...

    Sabre Samurai hydraulic hookup & options

    Thanks for the idea. I think that a controlled burn back into the woods on other parts of our property might be a great idea. Some of the area, though, has grown in over the last 15-20 years according to aerial photos of the lot. It was not wooded originally and has since been overgrown with...
