    So I am finally ready for my 2nd ever tractor. Sold my BX2680 when I moved to TX, and ordered an L2501 HST, SSQA, bucket and SSQA bale spear, and KTAC. Was $28.4K. Kubota still offering 0% financing. Daggum price of everything is through the roof.

    BX2680 needs a new home

    When I was stuck working from home for a long time, I went crazy and bought a lot of toys. Now I need to move for a job, and I don't want to move everything. On April 29, I got a BX2680 I need to get $16K out of it. It's currently financed by Kubota. I just decided to sell it 4 minutes ago, so...

    BX2680 50 hour service challenges

    I'm a bit over 47 hours, and didn't want to wait, so off I went to do the 50 hour service. I think I spent about $150 on filters and S-UDT. First challenge. The "specialist" at my dealer wouldn't accept that my owner's manual says change transmission fluid at 50 hours. So I ordered Super UDT...

    Do I want a pine needle rake or a landscape rake? The answer is yes....but I can only get one

    I have a bunch of pine trees in the back of the pasture, and my wife would like to gather up the pine needles for something, I wasn't paying much attention, all I heard was "Buy something for the tractor" There are a lot of downed limbs back there, and I am thinking a landscape rake would do...

    Unexpected money

    As it turns out, during my refinance on the house, I don't have to make a payment to a mortgage company until March. Not sure how I should stimulate the economy, but a couple of implements might get ordered. Just have to come up with a story to tell the wife when she notices less room to...

    BX2680 Bent loader

    Has anyone bent their loader on a BX? When I have the loader off to mow, The left side will drop right in, and the right side will be 2-3 inches from dropping in. If I have the bucket off, say to put the forks on, the SSQS "squares" engage the implement at different times. I don't recall...

    Your expert opinion please

    This is the lightest grapple I can find, and doesn't need hydraulics or an electric motor. What do you think? My only uses for a grapple will likely be moving brush and old hay to a burn pile. http://www.goodworkstractors.com/product/brush-crusher-bc-4300-grapple-for-ssqa-loaders/

    Implement recommendation

    So, as my personal tractor advisory team, I am tasking you to help me spend some money. Wife was playing director today, and we picked up and moved most of the horse manure that has been laying around in the pasture into 1 big pile. That turned into a conversation how I don't know what I'm doing...

    Land Pride Quick Hitches

    Called my dealer to ask about QH's. He informed me only the QH05 will fit on my BX. I educated him about adapter bushings, and that LP website says the 5, 10 and 15 match to the BX. I don't think the sales guy is a tractor guy. Anyway, I think I'm passing on a QH, at least a land pride. $225 for...

    Norfolk Craigslist SSQA Backhoe

    How much you reckon this weighs? I'm sure way too much for my little BX. Bucket ergonomics don't look to use friendly to me either. Long shallow bucket the exact opposite of what I imagine is good. Didn't even know this was a thing.

    3PH bent? Maybe

    So a couple few days ago, I hooked an off road tow strap to my trailer mover on the 3PH, and connected it to an old truck bed liner about half full of 1/2 millings. Trying to fit between the boat an a building, I got hung up on a ramp. Moved boat, turned hard right, got the rocks where I need...

    BXPanded Hydraulic kit

    Just poking around to see if it's possible to safely increase GPM on my BX2680. Does the BXP hydraulic kit raise the GPM's? Trying to mostly stay with Land Pride if possible, and the SA20 Auger minimum GPM of 6 is too close to my max of 6.2 GPM. Seems I have to dig 40 or so holes every few...

    Ballast Box

    Is $300 what I'm going to spend on a ballast box? Wanted to go with a heavy hitch and suitcase weights, but suitcase weights are insanely priced, and I can't find any used ones local to me, or any tanks anyone is getting rid of I could make one out of. Gonna fill it with concrete once I get...
