This year, I’ll be re-grading the yard to help water drain away from the house and off of the paved driveway. A new 90’ path from the deck to the patio is also in the plans. I’m building a simple sod cutter to remove the grass and hopefully re-lay it after I remove some dirt to fix the grade...

Yesterday, I bought a Land Pride PD10 PHD and 9” auger for the BX to drill some holes for my deck rebuild/ expansion and a planned vinyl rail fence project. Wife said she didn’t wanna see me having to dig the holes by hand and told me to just go buy a PHD for the tractor. She didn’t have to tell...

For a while, I’ve been wanting to build a winter cab for my BX24. It seems that the only time we get enough snow to use the tractor, the temps are in the teens or single digits F and the wind is blowing. I’m using 2”x2”x1/8” angle iron for the brackets, wood for the frame, and 0.22” plexiglass...

In the thread about changing the BX 3-point to position control, someone mentioned adding an indicator instead. I decided to add a pointer in the slot intended for the optional rear remotes. Today, I got the pointer made and mounted. The pointer is attached to a delrin plastic piece that pivots...

I’ve been wanting/needing a press in my shop for years. I almost bought a Harbor Freight 20 ton press a while back but luckily they didn’t have any in stock. After reading lots of negative reviews, I decided to build my own the way I want it. Yesterday, the stars aligned and I got most of the...

This happened Wednesday about 5 miles from me. I can’t begin to imagine what it would be like living in fear from a neighbor that makes constant death threats. I’m not sure if the police were aware of his hostility before it all went terribly wrong...

I’m going to be building a loft in part of my barn and I’ll need a way to lift some 2x12s and set them in place. Since I have a hitch receiver on my pallet fork frame, I decided to build a simple boom pole to give me enough reach to lift the boards. With the boom straight up, it measures 11’ 2”...

I have decided to build a hydraulic thumb for the backhoe on my BX24. I recently added dual rear remotes with the intention to use them to control a thumb. The 2 spool valve hooks up inline with the backhoe. Today, I mocked it up with 3/8” plywood. The upper mount will be welded to the dipperstick.

When I built my loader bucket pallet forks, I planned to build a frame to also be able to use the forks on the 3 pt hitch. Today, I started measuring and cutting steel for the frame. What I have done so far was made from materials I had in the shop. I am going to add a receiver hitch to the...

I decided to try my hand at building a level indicator that would work at any height. I wanted it mainly for my hang-on pallet forks since they are impossible to see from the seat to know if they are level. Here is what I came up with. The linkage from the bucket rotates the white dial that is...

Hi guys. I’m Adam and I bought my first Kubota in July. A friend sold me his 2007 BX24 w/ 260hrs on the clock. So far, I’ve built a set of bucket forks, a rear ballast, and added lights to the ROPS. I’ve also been messing around with ‘60s and ‘70s IH Cub Cadets since 2009.
