About This Site
As a Kubota tractor newbie it's not so easy to find information beyond the Operators Manual. Prospective buyers can't even look at the manual of the machine they are lusting after, as Kubota has declined to make them available online. In fact the official Kubota website has little to offer to existing owners - and nothing specific to a tractor model or range except the part numbers. So when you are trouble-shooting or considering buying an implement where can you go for advice?
So the idea behind this site is to gather the best answers and organize them by subject. This is helpful when you are a new tractor owner and you don't even know what subjects to ask about. This site is meant to complement the forum sites - if you have a question to ask, it's probably best to use one of those forums if you can't find the answer here. (There is also a Discussion Forum on this site so you can try your luck there, but you'll probably find more readers at TractorByNet for example.
Much of the content currently is links to informative threads on TractorByNet - but this is not ideal because those links may get broken. A more robust solution would be to transcribe the definitive answers directly onto the pages of BXTractors.info. Of course that takes more time too!
Photos are are good to illustrate some points. Some contributors to TractorByNet upload photographs to illustrate and attachment or a repair, but I can't link directly to them from here. So if you have a photo that would illustrate an article on this site, and would be willing to have it used, please let me know.
Online Forums / Discussion Boards
Well, you can go to one of the tractor forums and post a question. TractorByNet and TractorPoint have active Kubota forums and are a great source of knowledge, frequented by helpful and more experienced souls who post tips and photos of their equipment (and who sometimes confess to embarrassing blunders that make the rest of us feel mortal).So, Why BXTractors.info?
Forums are typically organized with today's messages at the top, whatever their subject. That's fine if you just want to browse the day's new comments in your lunch hour, but not so helpful for advice on a specific topic, such as "tooth bar" where the best thread may have been created 6 months previously. Although most forum sites have a search tool, you'll have to wade through many results until you find one with the comprehensive answer. (Also you have to guess whether to search for "toothbar" or "tooth bar" - you'll get very different results with those two on TractorByNet.)So the idea behind this site is to gather the best answers and organize them by subject.

Adding Content to BXTractors.info
Who's to say what is the "best advice" on say, "tooth bars", and who should choose what subjects are covered on this site? I'm open to suggestions. I've spent quite a few hours getting this far, but this is a "wiki", (like the well known Wikipedia) and it will grow faster if there are others willing to contribute, post illustrative photographs and so on.Much of the content currently is links to informative threads on TractorByNet - but this is not ideal because those links may get broken.
