What a bunch of GREAT ideas !!, Flame squirter is definitely going on mine ! - Subscribed + Liked !!

Thank you for the honourable mention. Great looking BX you have there. Happy tractoring. ...........Cheers, Paul

Spinner is essential. I have them on every low speed steering wheel I own. The trouble is finding a high quality one. I bought a Kubota brand from Amazon and it was junk. Now I'm thinking it might have been a knock-off. Worked great and seemed good quality for about 3 weeks, then it picked up a sticky spot. I returned it. A few days later I happened to be at a John Deere dealer and they had two spinner knobs on the rack. The "Premium" knob seemed really good quality, like it actually has a bearing under the knob. Anyway, I now have a John Deere spinner knob on a Kubota tractor. Amazing.

Great video!

thanks for the video. I have watched several of yours, and appreciate your service to the church. Although I have been tractoring for years, I still had a lot to learn, Like you, I watched what others have done, and learned from others. I am recording my mods so that maybe some other guy can see what I did, make it better, and share with others. Enjoy retirement: every week is six Saturdays and a Sunday.

Great video. I just got a massey Ferguson gc1705 and I'm starting to add a few things. I like the d rings you put on the frame for tying down, I think I'm going to use that idea.

Great stuff. Thanks for sharing

Love what you have done. I recently purchased a new Kubota L2501. I opted for the ag tires and had the wheels set out to their widest point and had 1 inch wheel spacers installed by the dealer. This made my rear wheel width just inside of the standard 66 in bucket so I opted for the next bigger size as I will not be moving any dirt or rock or other heavy materials with this tractor. I have a skid steer and three other loader tractor that can lift much heavier loads than this Kubota and I would strongly discourage anyone from going with anything other than what the manufacturer offers for these smaller tractors as they can easily lift loads beyond what the tractor is capable of handling. My tractor will be used for plowing snow, grading my driveway, and working in the woods gathering up fire wood, clearing brush, and some lighter mowing work where I can't get the larger tractors into as well. I have added golf cart mirrors, and a steering wheel spinner, and mounted a much larger tool box in place of the factory one. Always on the look out for more ideas on what to do with the new tractor. Thanks for what you have shared.

You might want to put a brush bar on top of your bucket. I took a pice of mobile home frame cut triangles out on each end so it would fold down just past the bucket mounts, put a 2” receiver in the center to move empty trailers , 2 d rings on top edges for pull straps, 2 weld on hooks for chains, then cut round holes and a few bar strips out so I had good view. Has saved hoses and my hood.

Great video of the mods you have done. My only suggestion is that you might add mirrors on each side so you don't have to turn around to see while backing up. You can get rather inexpensive golf cart mirrors. I attached mine to the fixed arm support of the bucket. You can monitor things behind you while working. I especially like it for my bush hog as I can see what is happening behind me. I will use many of your suggestion. Thanks again, Lloyd

I would love to try development on a Kubota, maybe after I get a second one do a couple things to the other one and see what I can accomplish with porting and polishing and custom pistons, not make it crazy but see what's achievable, what kind of impact is made, maybe polish some internals and do that stuff if one ever has to be cracked open after the warranty ends.

I’d get a pool noodle and split it length ways so it slips over your piranha blade when in storage. It will keep your blade protected as well as your shins and hands from getting cut

The bucket hooks are worth their weight in gold

One more thing... I've seen videos where guys like to do "ditch lights" on the lower front of the frame. Paul Short fabricated his own and other guys have purchased small LED lamps with stainless steel brackets and mounted them to the pre-drilled holes (like you did with your "D rings"). I don't like those. They are fine if you are mowing but if you have the bucket on, or a snowblower, or blade, etc. those lights just shine directly on the back of the attachment and reflect backward nearly blinding the operator...or at least making it difficult to see. Instead, I bought the Kubota fender-mounted work lights. They plug right in to the existing harness. They are adjustable and can be turned on/off individually. They are form-fitted for the fender on your tractor. And since they are mounted on the fender they are at just the right height to light up either side of the tractor while working at night. They put the light in exactly the right place. And they are LED and match the lumens of the LED headlights I referred to in my other response. Very bright, throw off zero heat, and will last forever. Not sure of the part number or cost but your dealer should be able to tell you that. They come with instructions and template for installation. Just measure, drill a hole, attach to fender, and plug in. Simple.

Do you have a link to the tool gripper? Just what I need but can’t find them on Amazon

Hi, There are two suggestions I can give you. First, I would put some black grip tape on the edges of the floorboards. Paul Short has a video on it somewhere but it is easy to do. Just run maybe 20" of tape, pop off the plastic rivets holding the floor mat on (just the edges), measure carefully and add the tape, then put the rivets back in (or get new rivets if you strip them). When you are getting on and off with wet feet (rain, snow, dewy grass, etc.) it makes it much safer. Next...and this is really cool...replace your standard bulbs with LED's. These are waaaayyyy brighter than the standard halogens and make evening/night/early morning work much easier and safer...especially if you are plowing/mowing/working near the road. I live in Wisconsin so we end up doing a lot of snowblowing either in the dark or during a snowstorm. So the LED's make things much, much brighter. This is also very easy. The headlight bulbs are simply daylight running light bulbs for cars and the other lights just pop out and replace. You don't need to add any resistors or modulators. Just change the bulbs. Simple. Here are the bulbs: Headlight (896 base): www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LZ4NOQN/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Hazard lights ( get the amber color) (2 sets): www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01JFH6TL2/ref=pd_sbs_263_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=R35F72SBYH4R9D6XTWPZ Taillights (get the red color): www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/miniature-wedge-base/921-led-bulb-19-smd-led-miniature-wedge-retrofit-car/1563/#/tab/Specifications Make sure you get the amber hazards and the red taillights. They make a HUGE difference. You'll be happy.

Love the mods, most unfortunately won’t work with the backhoe.

I like your video, we’re did you by your grass trimmer holders, what brand were they? Thanks in advance, Roger Karstofsky

Good items, but toolbox blocks rear vision for hitchs add ons, so I prefer other location, example: side,

Hey great video thanks for sharing. What is the actual name of those tool grippers to search for on Amazon?

Tool box configuration A or B identical to you?

Perhaps a canopy. I sure it gets hot.

Those bolt on anchors are nowhere as strong as the frame you bolted them to. Just put your chain hook right on top the grey frame.

Check out A2 products Minnesota Tony has some nice add ons

Nicely done.! Thank's for the link for the tool gripper. You may want to take a look at sum of the mod's I have done on my channel on KZfaq it's MECH UNO I have picture of Boxer

Nice machine! Check my channel out. I’ve tricked my machines out as well. Art

Very nice! I just bought a 2019 BX tractor and will be incorporating some of your ideas.

Great video and thanks for the links. I haven't done too many mods since there aren't many things available for a Massey but I sure do love all the items available for a Kubota. Man there's a lot for Kubotas! Thanks for sharing and enjoy your retirement.

Thanks - really good video and some helpful practical ideas for my new tractor. Cheers and thanks !

Great video and easy to follow.

Great mods thanks for posting!

Fantastic work!!!!!

Great video. Just found your channel. Good luck

great video thank you

Great video, thanks for sharing! I just bought a bx23s a couple weeks ago, and am looking forward to adding some mods to make it my own. Enjoy your retirement!!!!

Very good video.

Good looking tractor nice mods ! if you like tractors you got to love Paul & Kathy BX Little Killer ! take care and be safe ! Curt :-)

This is really neat! I love the modifications. I am retired as well and have a JD 3046. Trying to figure out a tool box. The aluminum basket looks pretty good but sure is expensive. I love the lights you did. Gonna order the hooks as well. You might consider adding a small first aid kit. I added a plug where I can charge my phone. Go to tractorbynet and look at the tilt meters for sale, as well as cup holder options. I appreciate the video. Do more!

If you find yourself needing portable power, installing a power inverter isn't a bad idea. Looks like you got a good setup going!

You should consider adding a RhinoHide Easy OFF/ON canopy. Really adds a layer of comfort while your out working.

Check out Heavy Hitch compact tractor attachments....they make an awesome 2" bolt on receiver that doesn't impact three point hitch of back hoe operation. $89

How do you oper the hood so you can jump start the battery?

where did you find the grippers for you string trimmer . I looked at Amazon for "tool gripper", no luckWhat are they called?Thanks

I really like the BXAttachments receiver hitch. I added it to my BX tractor so that I could pull a small size wagon around the yard. bxattachments.com/product/rear-receiver-hitch-and-tie-down/ I also really like the mower deck axles I found. They make it easy to work on the deck and to move it around my shed. www.moweraxle.com/tractorstands/kubotastands.html. I have Ken's hooks as well. I feel all three of these should come standard with the tractor. I also just added the Kubota bucket level indicator rod. I'm not sure which series its available for but it is an option on the BX80 series. I find it a lot easier to use than the level plate on the bucket.

Where do I by the black box and those hooks

where did you get the weed whacker holders??
