Good Little Tractor For What It Is
Model Year: 2015
I had some issues with the BX25 that should have been picked up during the pre-delivery check, but I had to have a service call to my summer place where it is stored to have them fixed. The tractor would not start, the tie-rod dust caps were rotting off, and one of the hydraulic lines to the bucket was leaking. I had these issues corrected and so far it has worked well. The unit is very unstable due to its width, and a wheel spacer kit should be offered as a safety feature. The backhoe works well, but due to the light weight of the unit over all, it does have a hard time in rocky soil. The fuel economy is fantastic. The bucket lift capacity is fine at 750 pounds and the overall running hydraulic pressure can be easily shimmed to increase the overall performance. The industrial tires that come with it are okay, but the front rims are prone to leakage and both have to be re-inflated every time I use the machine.
Pros: Fuel Economy, overall power, especially with the 4-wheel drive
Cons: Front wheels will not hold air, hydro-static peddle is not as fluid as it should be
