s chrand: "I hope to get by without the snow blower, but with 800' of drive way, that may not happen."

The front Kubota snowthrower is expensive, but it is of the highest quality and you will not be disappointed.

IMHO a rear blower on a BX without the turning seat, or other means of rearward visability is literally a pain in the neck. If you get the front mount, you will still be able to use the rear blade.

Looking a lot like Christmas

I'm very happy to have found this board a while back and look forward to hangin' around for a while longer.<br>

Here's to Dennis and a great board (raising bottle 'o brew) and to all the other members out there (even the Democrats).

Thanks Dennis

No, home made from a $15 Fleet-Farm draw bar and some scrap steel from work. I did use it to effeciently bend my top link though. (other Pic.) Works good for the trailers. (see the rest of the website)

Open that BX throttle up at least 3/4.
==============================
How do you do that when the manusl says not to run it hard for the first 50 hours?

--throttle position doesn't necessarily mean hard use. Lugging is much "Harder" than reving.

There is a pedal right over the treddel pedal which controls the brake. On the left side is the brake-lock for Parking. It is strong enough to hold the tractor in neutral on a hill or tilted trailer.
=================
Mine don't seem to be. I have to really watch that I'm not driving around with this brake on

--My tractor will easily lock the tires. Also will hold quite nicely on a hill. Weight of 'hoe will probably have an impact on this, but the brake should at the least hold your tractor. If not, some adjustment is probably needed. (these aren't the power brakes from the 'ol Buick though. LOL) Just remember to dis-engage it when you start again. (Been there done that. LOL)

1*Would be nice if bx 23 had a tack ; what range would that be?

--3/4 throttle is a good place to start.

When I picked up my snow thrower, the dealer also had hooked it up to the "dump" control of the FEL. I switched it to the lift control to get the "float" position, and have never had a problem. I don't think it matters to function, just to weather you want the float position.

I thought the 4000 series was a "compact" tractor like a B series Kubota (larger wheels and tires), where the 2000 series was a "sub-compact" like the BX Kubota or TZ New Holland.

lbrown59: #1 and # 2 designates wither it's a winter or summer blend. Those Big Trucks you see at the pump are buying what you might term on road diesel. Wither it's #1 or # 2 depends on if it's winter or summer.

This is not necessarily true. #1 is more refined (cetane addatives) but not always winterized. #2 is less refined but may be winterized. It all depends on the supplier.

Something wrong with that page, reply doesn't work.<br>
<br>
Anyway-- My OPINION and what I have done with fuel for tractor, cars and truck (all Diesel) is to buy #2 most of the time. When Temps are below +30 Deg F, I get either winter blended #2 or 1/2 #1 and 1/2 #2. I do not use any addatives, never have, probably never will. I have 300K on my 86 VW, 175K on my Cummins Dodge, 60K on the VW TDI and 50 hrs (1 winter) on the Kubota.<br>
<br>
I only jelled once in 15 years of diesel-only driving. It was my fault because I did not pay attension to what fuel I bought. Straight #2 in mid January (-30 deg F) in my Dodge/Cummins. Towed it home, put the shop light on the fuel filter, then topped the tank (1/4) with #1. Ran fine from there.<br>
<br>
Where you live in NC, you will probably never have jelling problems with a good, fresh #2 fuel.<br>
<br>
From my understanding #2 is same as red only #2 has road tax and red has dye.<br>
<br>
#1 is higher refined with more addatives and a higher cetane (comparable to gas-octane) rating. #2 has more btu content so should give better efficiency and power, #1 is less prone to tempreture related problems.

Hey Art-- What is Kubota's ploicy on non-selling dealer warranty work? My dealer is friendly, convenient and local, but what if I move?

16' might be a little snug for a TC40, but that is an awesom (!!) deal. I would guess that is a $2500+ trailer.

There should be a ID tag on it somewhere with a VIN and GVW. Look on the inside of the tongue or maybe front rail.

Just finished the whole series, I was hooked. I worked for a Chevy dealer who was this high-pressure type. Sales manager was even named Dave (Carnival Dave to be exact!) Every day I went home and felt slimy-er than the last. I got fired, was the best thing that ever happened to me.

My 3/4 ton Dodge/Cummins handles 15000+ pounds with no problem.

IMHO a half ton pickup truck is nothing more than a car with a big open trunk. I wouldn't waste my money on one.

President Bush is visiting Wausau, WI today, and will visit an elderly lady who is locally famous for her volunteer work. <br>

Apparently when the campaign people called her to arrange the visit, she thought it was a scam call asking her for too much personal information! She hung up on them and promptly called the police!<br>
