If you want the quick attach bucket I would insist on it to your dealer. It only adds a few inches (2-3). It is easy to add in the future but you'll probably have to buy a new bucket along with it. I would recommend that you buy it the way you want it the first time. The dealer does work for you.

There should be no differences between the oils used in the transmission as far as road speed goes. I would check the road speed with another vehicle, my B7510HSD with R4's goes 10-12mph over the road. Super UDT is devoloped and intended more for the GST and HST transmissions in cold weather applications.

If you do decide you want to fill your tires with fluid, there is a product we're using now that is called Rim-Guard by a company called Ballast-Star. This is a non-toxic, bio-degradable substance that has a very high sugar content that keeps it from freezing, we've used over 5000 gallons of this and have used it in sub-compacts to farm tractors. I have it in my own tractor.

Beagle, that trick has never worked for me or any of the other guys in our shop that work on the 100+ hp farm tractors. We had a gelled B7510 that was in a crate, the filter was plugged solid, the filter was removed and I put it in a bag and set it on my tool box. A week later the gell was still there in the same form it was in the tractor. I have used your treatment that you recommended, it's called Diesel 911 and it works great.

Your tractor would easily handle a 6' tiller, we've put a 5' on a BX2230. Just stay away from the "no-name" brands. Tillers for the most part DON'T take a lot of HP to run, unless you're trying to turn a shalebank into a flowerbed. <br>
Don't be afraid of buying the bigger tiller, try one first and you'll see what I mean.<br>
I'm sorry that you feel that way Archdean, but all of the BX series will lift 1200lbs at the 3pt and 600lbs 2' behind. Tillers do come in more than 1 grade of quality, that's why they make standard and heavy-duty implements. Not all applications are the same. NOTE: these customers are extremly satisfied with this unit.

There is also another alterative. I bought a trailer from a company from Canada called Pronovost. This trailer is rated for 3,000lbs and has 2 options for dumping, a battery powered hydrauilc lift or a manual pump. I have a B7510HSD and LOVE this trailer, I use it for everything. I have also loaned it to my father that has a BX2200 and it pulled it fine. BUT, these are a little pricey....about $2,000. I feel it's well worth it. Check the like below. Look at the P-503.

There are a few alteratives to your problem. Have your local dealer or you can check into wheel spacers, this is what i would recommend to you. I think all you would need is about 1" to do the job. Another alternative, check into a set of rims and hubs for an L5030 Kubota. These have the 8 bolt lug pattern that your L48 does, they have adjustable dishes that your L48 doesn't, and they use the same tires. Just have to have the rubber swapped over. Hope this helps, Doc.

The L3430HST-C tractors are a very nice tractor, It is true that you can't put a BH90 with the factory cab, because the back of the cabs stick out farther than the fender tractors do, so the seat of the hoe hits. Yes, I have heard Woods has a 9000 back hoe that will fit with the cab. Another nice thing about the Woods is you can get them that operate off from a remote section, making your tractor more versitile. We have had quite a few unhappy customers when we tell them about the BH90 on they're factory cab tractors. Any ?'s feel free to ask.
