    Bx Weight box

    I dont have much use for many of the rear implements on my small BX and those that I do use would hang out too far behind and cause other inconveniences in my space. I have the small weight box they make for the b and BX series. I have a bunch of sandbags in there i can just pull out if I...

    Questions on new BX Purchase

    How far out do those box blades run? I like that the more compact ballast box can tuck right up behind the machine when I want and I can use it to double as a chainsaw/chains storage spot. That being said if I had a more constant or frequent use of a box blade it would probably make sense to...

    More Snow in the Northeast = More Seat Time with the BX2822 Blower

    We had 5" of the fluffiest powder i"ve ever seen. I had to turn my deflector way low on the blower chute because I was chucking that powder so far it was going onto my neighbor's yard. Love 6" storms. Crank up the RPMs and floor it. Even my little 1880 hardly ever bogs down unless I'm...

    2782B snowblower: very disappointed in ability

    +1 on removing that grate. Beyond keeping people's fingers in tact (not sure how that would even happen with a seat disconnect) I cannot imagine how it helps in any way. I removed it 2 minutes into using the blower the first time. Is there such a thing as the blower turning "too fast" to a...

    Comparing Bucket Tooth Attachments

    The bolts hold the factory replaceable blade edge. If you get the pirahna you can mount it without taking off the edge without any real modification:

    Comparing Bucket Tooth Attachments

    One things that interesting is that you can actually install the Pirhana bar at the same time the factor replaceable bucket blade/extension is on. That way if it even ever had to pop off you wouldnt have to re-install any flat edge.

    Comparing Bucket Tooth Attachments

    All i can say is that I've simply never taken the Pirhana bar off since installed. I agree I can't imagine doing any digging/scooping with the rake as I think its bit more geared around grading gravel and pulling up brush and such?

    HST Whine.....Gone.......!

    When I see these threads I always wonder the same thing: While theoretical, has there ever been a single known, recorded case of a modded ROPS failing and causing either a warranty or an otherwise preventable injury from occurring? Seems to me unless there are and have been at least one...

    Almost Flipped Her!

    This video basically demonstrated how much force it takes to tip a BX and how effective spacers and wheel weights are (at least on perfect, flat ground): https://youtu.be/O3wxJJBgRHA

    Almost Flipped Her!

    I'm so paranoid about flipping that I have gouges in my property from where the bucket dragged the ground as I keep it literally as low as possible without contacting.

    Tractor Purchase Not Working Out, Getting Stressed

    Not quite a robbery but is it this one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qb_7DNs6XvA

    HST Whine.....Gone.......!

    One other comment unrealted to ROPS modification is that this simply suggests the ROPs are taking a vibration audible. When removing "ring" from anvils, we commonly wrap their base in heavy chains. I would think a similar attempt on the ROPs would easily replicate that dampening effect without...

    HST Whine.....Gone.......!

    By that logic, wouldnt strapping u-bolts with lights hanging off them potentially change the way stresses were imparted onto the ROPS if the tractor flipped onto those housings? How could foam inside somehow compromise a ROPS but not all the many u-bolts and weight hanging off them that comes...

    Tractor Purchase Not Working Out, Getting Stressed

    IMHO people are far to kind to these dealers. Dealers are like girlfriends. Once she cheats on you, how happy are you really gonna be and how much will you really trust her even if you somehow manage to get back together? Location to me is a null point. Think of how much hassle this has...

    Bx2816 snow blower attachment chute clogging

    If youre the type to reach your hand down the chute of a snowblower while its running no grate is gonna prevent anything. Youre gonna darwin yourself sooner or later. How would that even happen unless you disabled the seat PTO cutoff? I know blowers can turn under pressure and such but thats...

    Bx2816 snow blower attachment chute clogging

    I initally had some clogging in slushy snow. It is now 100% remedied. I did this: Dumped the stupid chute grate...did no good and made any clearing of the chute impossible RPMS: Get them up there to PTO range (I run even higher) as theres a downward spiral once you run out of RPMs on heavy load

    Snowblower/PTO load on BX2380

    The only clogging i've ever had was before I took off what I assume is some kind of safety screen they install inside the chute. It was a slush magnet and made clearing the chute a total pain. Once I pulled it out things have been smooth sailing but I do have issues throwing the snow TOO far...

    Snowblower/PTO load on BX2380

    Same! This last storm I did a full foot and had to slow at times with my 1880 or it simply couldnt move the snow fast enough. I usually dont do 12"+ in one pass. I still eat through the 4' high snowbanks the plows leaves with ease! I run PTO or higher if I'm bogging at all in really wet...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    11" of snow here so took the little BX out with the blower. Fantastic!

    Did I get a good deal?

    Seems like a really good deal. Unless I'm mistaken if you build your exact specs the retail is almost exactly 20K on the kubota builder site. I think thats 32% off??
