    Anyone have a BXPanded FEL Dolly?

    I'd say it's actually easier to take off with the stand than it was on flat ground, unless you don't align the dolly correctly, then it's a bit of a crap show. As for being able to move the FEL around, I can easily wheel it around into the garage, back out, etc, with ease, and I'm a cyclist...

    Anyone have a BXPanded FEL Dolly?

    I have one and love it! Highly recommend, it stopped me from tearing up the driveway, or continuing to struggle taking it off weekly for mowing duties, and it not being just right on level ground, and causing all sorts of damage to the ground/tractor/loader... If you have a piece of level...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I've had that same 80v saw for the last three years, I don't think I'll ever own a gas powered saw again, that thing is a beast - and you can buy a new bar and chain for less than $30 (together) - fantastic to hear it survived a drive-over.

    better blowers?

    I've had mixed results with Fluid Film in my SB1051 (little brother to your blower). Its good for about one snow blowing session, then have to reapply. This year we've had almost no snow, so just ran it as it was, same as what you're showing, packed main area, and with really wet snow, the chute...

    BXpanded under armor plate installation issue?

    Mine went on without removing anything (other than the mid-mount mower), also on a BX2380. The only issue I had was getting it to come back down in the spring, when it's time for the mower to go back on, as the armor plate doesn't weigh enough to lower without some assistance (pulling/pushing...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Are these seat covers supposed to be that loose? Something like that would annoy me while sitting on them, if it created any kind of bunching - maybe its a non-issue once you're seated, just seems like an ill-fitting seat cover?

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    This makes me want a cab even more, last night when I was snowblowing, I couldn't see anything as the spray from the blower was getting picked up by the wind and I ended up munching two of my driveway markers (luckily I didn't cause any harm to the blower)...

    Slush buster…

    In these instances, I'm glad I have a rear snowblower, as I can use the FEL to push this crappy slush off the driveway. And if it's only a few inches, I'll use my little lawn tractor with a snow blade. The rear snowblower can "push" the slush, but it's a lot more work than needs to be.

    Tire Chain Tensioners

    Only because I've worked in the bicycle industry and am my own mechanic - bike chains do stretch: https://www.bikeradar.com/advice/workshop/how-to-know-when-its-time-to-replace-your-bicycle-chain

    ROPS lights stopped working...

    I went ahead and pulled apart the installation I had performed last year, and did find two connections loose... one on the red wire of one light, and one of the black light of the other.. I pulled the bullet connectors off and added a standard two way heat-shrink connector (at least I think...

    Sounds like I have a project for today, thanks for the insight.

    ROPS lights stopped working...

    Not factory, no, I purchased them from (https://www.ropslights.com/) and installed them last winter, using the connector you have referenced, to the left of the 3PH. They worked perfectly fine last winter, spring, summer, and fall (some night work here and there).

    ROPS lights stopped working...

    I also thought that could be the case, I have two sets which are wired individually, and both went out at the same time - I did check where I wired them in at, and don't see anything that looks like a loose wire. I am not an electrician, so I could be overlooking something, but it all passes the...

    ROPS lights stopped working...

    Sorry, I tried searching for this, but couldn't find anything, so if this is redundant, and you can point me in the right direction, please do. I was out snowblowing this morning, everything was working great, lots of light, blower chugging along, then when I went to turn for my next pass, my...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Agreed, thanks for the link, looks pretty simple, I think even my poor attempt at DIY projects could make something like that. Get a couple feet of pipe, cut in half, make holes in the pipe for the casters and a pin in the middle (for stability) and you have yourself a mower deck dolly. I've...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Do tell, what are these axles? I have the 60" deck, which I believe is ~270lbs and a major pain to get up on the scaffold, I'd really like to store it vertically instead, but, aside from the dolly's I've seen, which cost $400 or so, I've not seen a great solution.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Yeah, one I would almost rather pay for, took a few hours, but it does help me get more familiar with everything the tractor is and can do. I also put the BXPanded skid plate back on, which was the easiest of all the things.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Pulled the mower deck off, changed the engine oil (only had 30 hours), pulled the power bagger assembly off, mounted the snowblower (rear), reinstalled the loader, used loader to pick up and clean the mower deck, used loader to get the power bagger onto a rolling pallet, used the loader to lift...

    Best Rear Cat 1 snow blower

    Amazing! Mine wouldn't fit as its a walk in basement and the door is a standard door, luckily I have a separate garage for the tractor and attachments, its just a big footprint.

    Best Rear Cat 1 snow blower

    I have the Land Pride SB1051 - I've only used it this last winter, but it's three years old and looks brand new. It is not fancy, in that its a manual chute rotation and deflection, but it tears through snow, snow banks, and slush (sort of) much better than my walk behind. It's very easy to...
