Kubota BX25 Reviews
Kubota Tenth Purchase BX25
Model Year: 2010
I have a F2680E for mowing rental property and a BX2660 MMM FEL for home use. This will be for the rental property for FEL and BH use only. I tried BH at home and it's fun and a new experience. I hit a stump root with BH bucket and found out it's limitations on root digging. Don't think it's strong enough for that and it takes a big machine to do stumps. The BX25 will do it for sure but it will be quite a job. Digging into a bank to make a small fish pond was fun and it did fantastic. The BH does dif and digs well in dirt but big rocks and roots will stop it which I expected. The FEL does good as all BX's FEL's do.
Pros: Versatility in a small package
Cons: Haven't found any, yet.

Great little tractor.
Model Year: 2009
Can't really say I've put it through its paces as yet, but am extremely pleased with it. Didn't really "need" one but JFTHOI applied for fantastic finance promo last year at local dealer. If I didn't get approved, I figured it wasn't meant to be. 15 min later I was asked "when do you want to take it home?" Have moved and spread about 4 tons of crushed stone and about 6 tons of washed sand. Moved LOTS of snow and used a battery blanket on a timer. Never had a problem starting. Bought a BXpanded bucket extender and it does make a big difference in the volume you can move. Also bought 3 point hitch kit and trailer adapter to fit hitch too. Haven't used the BH much, but plan to later for drainage work. Overall, couldn't be happier with this investment. Local dealer is great too.
Pros: Reliable work horse, well built, easy to learn to operate.
Cons: None at this time.

Kubota BX25
Model Year: 2010
Great tractor for overall property maintenance. Although I have little grass my slopes, gravel drive, access road & paths and garden areas require year round work the BX25 can help provide. My severely sloped property makes the BX25's lower center of gravity very critical and the BH is critical for ground work due to my rocky soil. BX25 is the perfect tractor of retired, 1-5 acre property homeowners with the need to do summer and winter maintenance plus handle garden work for homeowner plots.
Pros: FEL & BH quick detach for 3PH attachment use with great fuel economy.
Cons: none identified to date.

Kubota BX25 Review
Model Year: 2010
I bought a compact tractor to do light landscaping and to build 4 wheeler trails. And to be honest, because I wanted one. I originally wanted another brand, but my local dealer suggested Kubota because the frame was built to use a backhoe. I am really happy with the BX25, it has done all I expected and I have only used it gently because I am just now finished with the break in period. It is very well built and easy to operate. As expected it has limitations based on it's size, but I picked this size so it would fit down the existing trails. I have had two problems, both of which were solved very quickly with help from my dealer. 1) The left side stabilizer leg broke off at a weld. I removed the leg and dropped it off at the dealer's. They welded it back together and ordered me a new leg on the same day so I was back to work quickly. 2) One of the backhoe boom stop bumpers was apparently loose and I didn't catch it and when the boom hit the bumper it bent the bolt and then damaged the bumper. My dealer ordered another one on warranty and I will put it on when it comes in. Both of these were minor inconveniences solved quickly by great dealer service and support. This is the reason why there are warranty's. To take care of the issues that show up when you build something. My dealer is Woldroff Farm Equipment in Watertown and Canton in northern New York.
Pros: Very heavy duty for a compact tractor
Cons: 3 point hich control mounted just a bit low on the fender, you have to stretch to reach when watching an attatchment

A great machine
Model Year: 0
I've only had this machine for a few days,but can tell by owning a BX 1850 before this,that this will also be a great tractor.It's easy to get around in it and it has more than enough power for it's size.I've already dug some practice holes and dug up a few small stumps.I'm still breaking it in,so don't want to push it too far yet.
Pros: small enough to get in tight places.
Cons: none so far

New BX25
Model Year: 2010
Just bought the Kubota BX25 not knowing if it would be powerful enough for my needs. I plan to do yard work and building ATV trails. So far I have removed some stumps and leveled out some gravel on my driveway. It has worked well and proved to meet my needs. I think a box blade will be necessary for making the trails and will be my next investment.
Pros: Small enough to fit in tight areas
Cons: None so fa

I love It!
Model Year: 2010
I am totally satisfied with one minor exception: I find it is somewhat a PITA to rotate the seat, but I will probably get better as I use it more. Also, I wish the seat would go forward more (I'm "vertically challenged"). I've made forks and a tooth bar so far, also some rock tongs. I wanted to build a thumb, but my design was not sufficient, and I kept bending the 5/8" pins I used; should have made the pins a larger diameter. As a result, I will purchase a Thumb from Bro-Tek, since everyone on this site seems to love that one. My dealer, Berryville Kubota in Berryville, Ark, has been great. The HST and front axle fluids were low, but they actually sent a Tech up here with fluid to fill them up. Looking forward to cooler weather so I can use it more. Ken
Pros: Easy to use, plenty of power for my needs.
Cons: None.

Great Equipment
Model Year: 2009
It just works. I have done projects which would have never been possible without it. This is one of the wisest investments one can make if you have ambitions of improving your environment. Have had to have 1 O-Ring seal replaced in the power fluid unit due to pinching of factory O-Ring.
Pros: It has all the implements you could need to get the job done.
Cons: I've not found anything I have been disappointed with.
