    Front Axle low on brand new BX2380

    This seems to be a common thing on the BX tractors. The front axle gets serviced, but trapped air throughout the axle eventually works it's way out through the first few hours of use (or maybe even transport in some cases), causing a low fluid reading. Top it off, check every 5-10 hours for a...

    BX23S Rear rotary cutter/Brush hog - size recommendation

    Consider what you're cutting, too - just because the BX may lift a 5' model and turn the blades doesn't mean it can keep the blades turning at the right RPM for effective cutting in anything but light material - and if it can, consider the stress you're putting on the tractor internals by trying...

    Need some chainsaw guidance please

    Once you get the smoking chain issue figured out (I too believe your chains are too tight or the oiler is plugged) I bet you're really going to like those Echo machines. I've got a blower/vacuum I bought years ago and have long said that if it blew/sucked any better I'd expect to be getting...

    I've got a Taylor Way 962 series I've been very happy with. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

    Tooth bar and tiller

    So you can kind of see the progression in this first photo. I had parts of the property hit with a forestry mulcher to take things to ground level, but roots and flush-cut stumps were left. I used the backhoe for big stumps and box blade scarifiers for roots and small stumps. Up front you can...

    Tooth bar and tiller

    I've got the piranha bar to do exactly the same stuff and it's amazing. I can't imagine a straight-up tooth bar or attachment of any kind would work as well, especially for brush because of the large spaces between the teeth. The piranha literally grabs the brush, scrub, weeds, etc. and tears it...

    Newbie question

    I've got the PFL2042 forks with SSQA for my BX23S and they're probably my most utilized accessory. They go on & off in seconds and let me carry brush, stumps, logs, tools, lawn equipment, tables, my mid-mount mower, I could go on and on and on. Definitely worth the money! Sent from my Pixel 2...

    Kamado Joe Big Joe

    I've had a kamado Joe for 8+ years now and really like it. I also know I don't use it to it's full potential - I grill some steaks and burgers now and then - but it heats up quickly and retains heat very, very well. It's easy to get it to 600+ degrees for a sear on a steak, then leave the lid...

    Well that's a selling point right there! We've got plenty in my area to keep them fed. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

    Hummers

    Sitting outside yesterday in 5he Florida panhandle, we saw one come check out our regular bird feeder so we did a quick swap and put the hummingbird feeder up, and he came back 3-4 more times to feed by afternoon. Waiting to see if it shows up today! Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

    I've seen these nests around my area. What's the draw with these birds? Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

    Rotary tiller depth

    If you're tilling something for the first time I recommend going through with a box blade with the teeth all the way down to tear out large roots, identify hidden stumps and large rocks, etc. I've got land that was mostly wooded/brush that was cleared by a forestry mulcher, so I'm using the box...

    Tooth bar for bucket

    I've got the BXPanded piranha bar as well and echo all of the above comments. It hasn't come off my tractor since the day it was installed and I almost think it's criminal that Kubota doesn't sell the tractor with one on it [emoji23]. Another common bucket attachment is the ratchet rake...

    Mine will be opened up a few times a week, but is also getting a mini-split AC unit to help with climate control. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

    Enclosed Pole Barn

    The standard barn size is always "I should've made it bigger...." No matter how big it is LMAO. I bet where you're coming from for sure! 30x40 is where the budget capped me though, if I wanted to have any money to finish the interior how I want. One good lotto ticket though.... Sent from my...

    Big boots catching on HST pedal

    I don't touch the left pedal unless I'm setting the parking brake. If the tractor doesn't come to a quick stop when the HST pedal is neutralized (aside from a steep slope and/or carrying/towing something heavy), then something's out of adjustment. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

    Enclosed Pole Barn

    I've already got the engineered plans taken care of and permits are pulled for the construction, but the builder doesn't handle electrical. I'll also be talking to my electrician today to get his input. All that to say there are multiple ways to get to the end result (open cell foam, closed...

    most usefull implements for property maintenance

    And for all that I forgot to mention a 48" bush hog. I don't have one but have borrowed a neighbor's, and it's great for cutting the rough stuff. If your trails are fairly clear and simply grassy, you may want the mower deck (not the drive-over, ppl seem to dislike that one) for trail and yard...

    most usefull implements for property maintenance

    Same tractor, many of the same uses (minus snow), on a smaller scale (clearing & maintaining a wooded 2 acre lot where I had a house built). In order (these first two ought to be factory items, I think they're so important.): BXPanded under armor. You're going to need it, otherwise that...

    Enclosed Pole Barn

    Yeah wiring will be done to code, whichever way I go. I've verified the foam doesn't need to be covered for fire code where I'm at because it's not a residential building; UV breakdown could be a consideration though. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
