kubota bx2200

The review posted by raudabt a few days ago was the only negative post I've ever seen of a BX. Anyone else have the problems he was describing? I'm looking at a BX23 and wondering if that machine has similar hose locations, etc. that he mentioned.

I have a BX with the 54" MMM and Kubota bagger and adore the whole system. Its time to think about new mower blades and I'm confused about high lift ones. What is the right choice for use with the bagger? I've heard conflicting advice so I'd really like to know what people think before I buy...

Well, I finally got around to installing the block heater in my BX2200. I bought it last winter after having starting problems in the cold. I had read some of the installation problems here and wasn't looking forward to the job but it went like clock work and took me under 20 minutes. Took me...

I know I have read some posts a while back about height concerns with the bx and certain post hole diggers. With the 3-point modification to allow the 3 point to raise higher has anyone succesfully installed the post hole digger from TSC? They have an unbeatable price of 349 and only 99 bucks...

Anyone upgrade/replace the stock lights with brighter bulbs? Been searching the net, seen alot of LED bulbs, some halogens, all claiming to be much brighter than stock 1157's (or whatever's in there, I assume that it's a 1156/57 type). Since it is getting dark earlier and earlier here, I will...

We are looking at buying a new house that will not require my BX2200 for maintenance. I bought it in 2003 and it has 42 hours. Can anyone recommend a "For Sale" type web site for tractors if we do decide to sell? Thanks, Tuck

Bought a Used BX2200 -- How\'d I Do? I bought a BX2200 this weekend. It's a 2000, has 245 hrs., and came with the 60" MMM and loader. It was used mostly for mowing and moving snow. Was garaged, looks to be well-maintained, and other than the normal signs of use and a broken light, is in good...

I recently traded-in my BX2200 for a BX23 and I noted the following last weekend when I attached my older snowblower to the BX23... Basically everything fit just fine with a couple of small exceptions. The underframe (can't remember p/n) that lifts/lowers the blower attached just like on the...

Is anybody using a pto gen with the BX, if so what brand, KW, and does it a good job. Looking for a temp stanby power solution. Thanks.

New problem need your help before I call the dealer. BX has 220 hours. The 15 amp fuse, position 2 on the fuse block under the steering wheel. The fuse for accessories, including the hour meter, fuel gauge and head lights has blown twice. Any idea what it can be, and suggestions on how to...

Well at approx 1year and 137 hours I have joined the club of broken straps. Was cutting yard today when things got a little noisy and checked under the hood and sure enough the strap had broken! Called dealer and told dealer about problem and parts man claimed to never had heard about this...

Hard to fit the entire rock garden into the picture, but she did it all with her BX2200 this summer. Well, maybe I moved a couple of the bigger rocks ....

I was mowing around the house today after sharpening the blades of my rottery mower and when I went to disconect the pto, the housing was very warm. About 20-30 minutes. This is the first time I had tried to disconect the PTO right after mowing, usually I had hauled the tractor a few miles...

BX2200 60\" MMM on a BX23 ? Hello, I'm thinking about trading-in or selling my BX2200 for a BX23; however, it's not clear to me at all whether or not my 60" mower (the Kubota model for it is something like BX27??) would fit the new BX23. Anybody know what the scoop on this is? TIA!

I'm a fairly new owner of a used BX2200 and have noticed there are noises that change depending on the implement in use. It really gets annoying if you put weight in the FEL or on the lift on the back. It also seems to change when you put the tractor in 4WD. I usually have gravel or dirt in...

My new L3830 should be arriving next week! I just got back from signing zee papers for the 0%financing. Talk about cutting it close.....I'll post some pics when she arrives. -L3830 w/ non-loaded R4s -723 QA loader with HD bucket / bolt on cutting edge / bolt on tooth bar. -T&T (valves only)...

Anyone else experience a worn looking belt after 400+ hours? Seems a bit too soon to me. Of course this could be my excuse to add the alternator upgrade and some 747 landing lights!

I just bought a BX2200 with a MMM and would like to use a rear blade without removing the mower. It says in the manual you can lock the mower in a raised position but the knob on mine will not move past the highest grass setting. Am I missing something? Thanks,

One in front, and one in back.

Hello all, I'm having trouble maintaining an idle on my BX2200. Water in the fuel shouldn't be a problem as I have recently changed the filters (I have had problems with water in the fuel before). This seems entirely different though. As soon as I engage my MMM PTO the engine bogs down and...

I have a set of turf tires that came on my 2003 BX 2200 that I would like to sell. They have less than 1 hour on them as I changed to bar tires when I had the tractor delivered. Does anyone know what I could get for them? Thanks, Tuck

I know this has been asked 1000s of times, but I am looking at a 2002 BX2200 with FEL and 60" deck. It has 360 hours on it. The dealer is asking $9999. What do you think is a decent offer? First time posting and first time tractor buyer.

Cannot find a thread about this, sorry to revisit. Looking for a rotary cutter for BX2200. Looking at the Woods 42" estate series @ $630. Also looking at J-bar 48" Razor cutter @ $520. Any ideas as to size for the 2200 or other brands to consider. Thanks in advance for the help.

I seen a discussion on this topic, but could not find it by searching. I was looking into getting one and my dealer said that woods is the only one that would work on th bx. i was hoping to find one a little cheaper? I need it for one big job , then it might set for years. dont know of anywher...

I know that this subject has been discussed before but I wanted to get some current feedback........I'm interested in a quality metal (diamondplate??) canopy for my BX2200. Using the tractor in the hot sun is getting to be a pain (no pun intended) and I've seen too many of the fiberglass ones...

Blew a couple of hydro hoses....been an ongoing problem....another story. Anyway, had to disconnect 3 of 4 hoses to steering unit under dash...thought I had remembered where each goes. Guess what? I didn't. Steering did not work when repairs were finished. Changed a couple of hoses around on...

Hi guys, been a while since I visited. I have a question that I hope I can get some help with. While running my BX the past few times I noticed that the engine would sputter now and then, and now most recently the RPMS drop to a point where the tractor almost stalls. I've got about 330 hours...

I was having a strange vibration type noise that would come and go and seemed more prevelant after a half hour or so of mowing. It was significantly loud enough for me to stop the mower the first few times it happened and look for something broken or tangled. Finding nothing I finished mowing...

Anyone replaced/upgraded their oil drain plug to a valve type? I have seen these for cars that get frequent oil changes, but can't find any for my BX. The oil plug on mine feels like sometime soon it will strip, and with only 450 hours, I will be changing oil many more times.

Has anyone had the opportunity to replace the front axle oil seal on a BX2200? I am going to attempt this change shortly as mine is leaking. Any help would be greatly appreciated before I start my adventure. PEMAD

I have a BX2200 with 450 hours. It has just developed an engine oil leak at the front of the engine just above the front axle. I am unable to tell if the oil pan is leaking or perhaps the main crankshaft seal. I'm hoping the oil pan gasket is the culprit but fear that the main seal may be the...

Anyone added a Tach to their tractor? What kind? From where? Where does it hook up to? Thanks!

I've had great luck with the BX2200 for a little over 2 years now -- 4 months beyond the warranty period. But, both my wife and I noticed that cutting with it yesterday was like trying to steer a boat. That is, the tightness of the steering has disappeared. Its as though it has a mind of its...

Anyone happen to know what the wire (and plug) are for that is located on the top of the engine on the BX2200? On mine it is right by the air filter. It looks like another opportunity for me to accessorize! Also where does the temperature gauge normally stay when fully warmed up and at work...

Has anyone tried this yet? I am sure I am not the only one who has a desire for a more comfortable seat. Now that I have seen the BX23's seat I am thinking about changing over if they don't want too much for the new seat. Or has anyone found one that will fit w/o mods from a third party? (I...

Here's the problem. When I mow, in particular, I bounce around a fair bit. The auto-retractor seat belt takes every advantage to tighten, and doesn't let go. Every few minutes I have to stop, unbuckle, and rebuckle. Any suggested strategies for stopping this?

The lift on my BX2200 will not completely raise without returning the lift lever to the center and back up several times. Each time it stops, it "thinks" (or sounds like) it is at the top. This seems to only happens after the tractor is hot, like after mowing for an hour or so. Although, it...

Hi all, One thing that really burns my shorts is paying the kind of money that I have for my tractor and then having to pay again to get proper documentation on the product. What the heck can Kubota have into a manual - $12-15 printing costs? With this type of equipment they really should...

Hi all, Sure glad I found this place. Can anyone shed some light on proper handling of diesel. My beloved tractor has now been the victim of water in the fuel three times (white smoke, no power), twice corrected by the dealer and this last time by me. The second time it happened, I went and...

For the BX2200, the manual doesn't mention any lubrication for the front axle pivot, anybody know if there is a way to lube that thing? - Patrick

anyone else having trouble with soot in the air filter. I did about fifty hours of snow blowing this winter. and checked the filter this spring and it was black. Blew some of it off and put it back in service and then noticed that I was throwing more black then usual. replaced it and back to...

My BX2200 overheats after only about 30 minutes of mowing with 60" mid deck. Coolant level is good - screens are clean - oil is good. Could it be a bad thermostat? If so, how big a job to change it. Tnx, Joe

What did Kubota change from the BX2200 to the BX2230. The local dealer has a new 2200 with a 60' deck that he said he could sell for less than $8k. I know that the 22 is the old model. But for the cost savings, The only visible difference looks the be the hood and lights. I have an 86 Ford 1210...

I am getting ready to change the hydraulic fluid on my BX2200 as part of the 300 hour service. I use my LA211 loader quite a bit and would like to make sure the dirty hydraulic fluid in the lines and cylinders are drained also. I don't know what volume of fluid is held on the loader and I...

I found this forum today looking for help rebuilding the center spindle of my MMM deck. I have just read through 6 pages of valuble information reguarding grease. Grease is the cheapest mechanic you will ever find. If any one could help with parts sources, Manuals or just plain old this is what...

First I'd like to thank everyone again for all the helpful info in this forum. It really helps. Heres the break down: 2003 BX2200 (63 hrs) 60" MMM 3 pt Boom Log Splitter (very medieval looking but totally functional) 6' rear blade Price $8800 Got it home Sunday read the manuals, checked it...

After cutting my yard and washing down the tractor I noticed rust bubbles around the base of the rops bases that are bolted to the rear fenders, has anyone else experienced this problem yet?

Help, our BX2200 ran out of fuel. Tried what the manual said to do to bleed the lines and it didn't work. What should be done next? Anyone know how to manually bleed the fuel lines?

Is there any remedy to the BX2200 PTO rough engagement? Mine actually sheard the shear pin on my Rhino Cutter, but I was at full throttle when I engaged. Does moving the PTO lever slowly help? The dealer suggested I engage at low rpm. Any comments greatly appreciated. Many thanks. Bill...

bx2200, 48\" KK, 60\" lawn rake, 60\" MMM. Pot. Plow how much is it worth, all bought new

Unfortunately, I purchased a set of turf tires from a bx1500 off of ebay last night. This is unfortunate due to the fact that after I placed my bid I did the research and discovered the 1500 has smaller tires front and rear. The question is, will I be able to run the tires on my 2200 or will I...

Using the rake the other day, just happened to hear a metallic clink when lifting the 3pth. Found the right upper lift arm's hairpin clip on the ground. What happened - the lift arm pin evidently rotated into a position that had the clip inverted and at such an angle that the straight end of the...

Ok.. I know most of you came in here to tell me that the BX22 and BX23 have a sturier frame etc etc and so they can do it but the BX is not beefy enough for the task. Thanks for dropping by, but I'm gonna ask a slightly different question. I took a good hard look at a 23, and I don't see any...

Howdy, I'm kinda new at this, so bare with me here. I got a BX2200 with 250 hrs that I bought new. At about 200 hrs I noticed that the steering has a problem with turning left. The specifics are as follows: While going straight (regardless of speed) when I turn the steering wheel left...

The fixed draw bar on the BX2200 is impossible to use with a ball hitch. Where can you find a CAT-1 3-Point draw bar that uses the top link also.

So what do you think ?? Is this possible?? Here is the link link Or how about a 2003 KUBOTA M9000 HD for $5400 link Or a 2003 KUBOTA MX5000 DT for $3800 Link I am thinking its too good to be true

Hello all, I am planning on buying a Kubota BX2230 in the future but ran across a used 2000 model BX2200 with 60" deck and FEL for around $8900. The tractor has 165hrs. on it. Does this seem like a fair deal or slightly high on the price? I am not sure whether it has the 3 position or 4...

I was cutting the grass this afternoon, and notice a small amount of oil leaking from the left outer pivot on the front axel. Has anyone changed these seals themselves before? I'm thinking there must be some tie bolt inside the dipstick to tie the parts together. If there is such a tie bolt...

I haven't even had a chance to get to the dealer yet. What the heck is a brush hog, just a heavy duty RFM? Two blades? How big of one will the BX run? So much to learn so little time (or $$$)

Hi All - I 've been watching this site for a couple of weeks and gathering some very useful info. Thank you. I'll get straight to the chase I'm looking to purchase a sub-compact and have pretty much narrowed it down to the bx1500(new-FEL & 54"mmm) or bx2200('03 32 hrs., 60"mmm, 5' rear blade &...

BX2200 won\'t start I was cutting grass on Sat, going along just fine for about three hours. Wife came out to tell me something and I turned off the tractor. Now it won't start. I was initially just going to blame it all on her... but decided I do have to eat every day. It turns over fine...

Is it me or do others have issue with wheel lift and near tip-over when carrying a load with the FEL, even on an ever so slight 2% grade. It seems to be more right sided than left (90/10). My husband thinks I'm crazy , but I leave the MMM on as "training wheels" for an extra safety measure from...

Hi all, I currently own a 2002 BX2200 with FEL. It has 325 Hours on it. The dealer will sell me the BX23 for $15,500 and from what I have read on this site, that is pretty good. They are offering me $7000 for my BX2200 trade-in. I am not so sure that is a good deal. They rattled of some $10...

I'm having a huge amount of fill delivered to level off a area behind the house for entertaining. I estimate it will take around 100+ cubic yards. The closest the dump trucks will be able to get is within 50 feet and the drivers will need to unload in one long pile. At first I was really looking...

I am thinking of ordering a quick hitch from Northern Tools #12835 ...is anyone out there in Kubota land using one of these on your Bx2230 and if so, how do you like it? Or better yet will it even work on the BX2230 or BX2200? www.northerntools.com thanks stumper

working with the FEL yesterday, picking larg rocks out of the woods for my garden, all of a sudden hydro fluid blew out the left side of the FEL, all over my hood side and arm of the FEL. I shut down to inspect and found a small split in one line. off to the shop to fix it. I removed the FEL...

I saw a post where someone referred to the air filter bracket for the BX2200. I just bought a new bracket to replace my broken one but it appears to be the same thickness of material as the broken one. Is there an updated version or a kit that "beefs" this thing up better? Thanks, Larry

I am trying to decide between a JD 2210 w/mower and box blade and a Kubota BX2200. I went to deere.com and was able to get a list pirce on the 2210 using their product configurator but I did not find anything similar on Kubota's website. How do I find out what Kubota prices their tractors at...

I have a significant amount of fuel leaking from around the sending unit for the fuel gauge. It looks like the rubber grommet has shrunk and does not seal anymore. Someone mentioned to me that there was a recall a few years back for this. Does anyone know the method for the fix for this? I have...

It looks pretty promising that I will be purchasing a 3.2 acre valley across the street from my home. I am purchasing it mainly to protect my view. It is not terribly builder friendly as it has about a 50 foot drop from the highest to the lowest part. It is stepped and has some flat areas...

New on the block here. Also new with the tractor and need some help. I just got a used 02 BX2200 with only 122 hrs with FEL, 54" MMM and tiller, all for $10,100. Do you think this was a pretty good deal? I am really liking it so far. I took it for a test run today. Everthing seems to be ok...

Greetings folks. I'm new to this site, as I just stumbled on it two days ago. Been trying to catch up on some of the problems some folks have had with the BX2200. I've had the leaking fuel, air cleaner bracket, sticky pedal, all of which I'm not to concerned with. I service the unit...

5\' box blade on BX2200 Yesterday I thought about how we often hear the question of tractor/box blade size and workability... I had the good fortune of getting some dirt dumped beside/on my driveway by the state who was grading the road edges. I had the backhoe on the back of my B2910, so I...

All, I own a SuperWinch 3500 and wish to use it with my BX2200. I'm wondering if the stock alternator will power it. The minimum winch requirements are: 60 amp alternator with a 440 CCA battery. I think the BX comes with enough battery, but not sure about the alternator. Can anybody tell me...

Can anyone tell me if the BX2230 seat goes back further ( Ie more leg room) than the BX2200. I drove my neighbors BX2200 yesterday and it seemed cramped to me. I'm six foot and I felt like I was on a smaller riding mower. Today I went by the mall and our local Kubota dealer had a BX2230 on...

My faithful BX 2200 died yesterday while my son was mowing. It wants to start (turns nicely) when you turn the key to start, but as soon as the key is released, it dies. The BX is 4 years old, with 300 hours. All the scheduled maintenance was kept up to date. (Let is sit for over 24 hours, and...

i was wondering if you should check the fluid level by twisting the dipstic all the way in or by just sticking in without threading it in,,,, seems like my dealer told me to screw it in, but cant remmember. I know its a stupid question, but i didnt see it in the manual. i just got my bx back...

bx2200 60\" deck maintenance I remembered that last year my deck was getting a bit noisy, so I knew that the first thing this spring I wanted to go over it. I changed the blades (bought new ones and sent the old to be sharpend). Greased it up, and changed the gearbox fluid. By the way, cut...

I have a 2001 BX200 with 60 inch mower & loader. Can someone give me an idea what it should sell for? It has 144 hours & is in excellent condition. I'm in lower Michigan.

Does anyone know of a front mounted "thatch rake" that will fit a Kubota BX2200 with minimal adjustment/customization? By "thatch rake" I'm referring to those spring-loaded, steel-tined rakes, not the heavy rear-3PT mounted landscape rakes.

I purchased the BX2200 on 5/3/01 and when I called the dealer about the warranty on the powertrain which is the front axle assembly including the seals They state it is only warranted for 2 years. After looking at kubota's web site, to me it looks like the dealer made a mistake on the warranty...

I can not find the post about drilling new holes in the lift arm bracket to raise the 3 pt higher. Anyone have the link to that post? Trying to figure out how high on the bracket to drill the new holes. How much more lift did you get after the modification? Thanks

Leveling BX2200 60\"MMM What is the best way you found to level the 60 MMM? Manual says to lower to setting 2, if I do that, I can not get under the deck to measure on the left side. Also if it is not level what do you adjust the mower links or the parallel linage?? I lived with a off center...

I searched the forum under this phrase and found nothing on it. Can someone tell me where to get some weights for my 2200. After loading some dirt in a truck and without the tiller on the PTO, I noticed that the tractor was more than front heavy with a loaded bucket. This is fine with the...

While in my garage yesterday I just happened to notice that my BX2200 leans slightly to the right (about 1/2 inch) if you're looking straight on at the grill. The garage floor is perfectly level. Tires and rims are fine including air pressure. There was an earlier post concerning this but it...

A while back Junkman wanted a picture of my BX with the sweeper so here it is. I used it tonight to sweep stones out of 2 of my Uncles yards, it worked pretty good except where the gravel road was lower than the yard. The front anti-scalp wheels would drop down into the road then the brush would...

What are your thoughts on an electric spreader that would hook up to the three point? I was looking at tow behind models and they run close to 200 bucks for a decent one. I really wanted something pto driven but that was cost prohibitive. I found this one on ebay and looks straight forward...

There are a number of equipment companies that make subframe attached backhoes for the BX2200 nothing was offered by Woods. Looks like one will be available from them soon. This is a response to a query I received from Woods: <font color="blue"> We do not offer a subframe for the BX2200 at...

Last year I took delivery of a BX2200 with 60" MMM, FEL, and 5' box blade. After using it for a season I have come to the conclusion that it is just not up to the tasks at hand. Here in GA the ground is mostly clay and even the smallest sapling resists uprooting. The hydraulics and FEL on this...

Is it a more comfortable seat and will it fit?

Anyone installed Pat\'s easy change on a BX2200? I was going to call them and ask, but didn't see a phone number. I did a search here on BX2200 and Pat and didn't get any hits. I'm ready to buy as soon as someone confirms to me that it will fit ok. THANKS.

I ran across the Kubota (Japan) web site that detailed the differences between the BX2200 (905) and BX2230 (902). The newer engine is 18% more powerful, relative to size. Here is the technical spec for the Super Mini 22HP. Here is the location for the specifications for the entire Super Mini...

Before I remove the Hydro strainer I just wanted to touch base with those of you who have already done so so that I don't screw things up. Is it difficult to remove and re-install...are there groves on the strainer for the O rings that I have to be careful for????

Well, I pulled the snowblower off for the season and was very dissapointed to see that the right auger was mashed down very bad. At some point in the season I had sheared the bolt that acts as a shear pin. Not knowing better, I replaced it with a 1/4 bolt. Big mistake! We had a heavy snow...

I have the BX2200, FEL, box scraper, 60" MMM, and other small accessories. I built a home last year on a 2 acre area of cleared ground and have 8 acres of woods. I have used this tractor to level, mow, maintain trails in the woods, till, pull a harrow, seed 2 acres, clear snow, bring in cut...

I'm getting ready to change the Hydraulic/Transmission fluid on my BX but before I do I wanted to ask those of you who had NO problem in removing the Hydraulic filter and "strainer", since I read previous posts stating that the filter was difficult to remove. In regard to the "strainer" can...

\"Wife\'s\" New BX2200 With only 4 hrs on her. The tractor, I mean

My local kubota dealer has this offer on the table, I will trade my bx with loader and deck with 165 hours for a used b2710 with kubota loader and will put a new deck on, as it currently does not have one. the 2710 has 81 hours. I am to pay $3750.00 difference. I feel like this is a great deal...

Height adjustment knob on BX2200 MM 60\" I have been having trouble adjusting the height on my BX2200 MM 60". It is very tight and for some reason when I adjust it to TOP, I can neve get it back down without having to get under tractor and use brute force with numerous tools, to get to loose...

Folks, I used the BX2200 to move a sleeper sofa from the house to the garage yesterday. I usually stop the tractor while it is in the High range. Then when I go to restart I have to select the neutral position. But on Sunday it would start w/o being in neutral. I will trouble shoot it some time...

What started out as just a simple tire plugging or patching problem has turned out to be a BIG problem. I developed a leak in left rear tire 26 x 12.00 Multi Trac G/S Titan tire. I had put Green Slime in tires last year to take care of small punctures from sticks and other things. Well this...

Wife\'s BX2200 On The Way Ordered earlier this week. Price (net of $5,000 trade in for a Deere 345) was C $14,500 plus tax with 60" deck and new valve/FEL. I was hoping they'd deliver it for our anniversary but it'll be a couple weeks. Hopefully I can post a picture of her on delivery day...

My tractor is three years old and has 225 hrs. on it. The mower belt is real sloppy while running, however I can still see the Kubota writing on the belt can it be worn out already. I remove my deck every winter to clean it and paint the underside, but I cannot remove the belt because I don't...

Having problem with small leaks on FEL. Fittings have been tightened up by the dealer several times, however they just keep leaking. The leaks are on the disconnects. Has anyone had the same problems.

Got my new HD alernator for my BX2200 today and I cann't read French or I think it's French. Does any one have an English copy of the instructions that I can down load. Will call my dealer tomorrow and see what they have

For those of you with a BX2200, what kind of oil consumption rate are you seeing? It doesn't have to be scientific, just a rough figure from the dipstick is fine.

As a follow on to my questions in other fora, I'm pricing a BX2200D with deck and maybe FEL in the Toronto area. I also have a Deere 345 with deck and front blower for trade. Any input would be appreciated.

First time buyer. I've struggled through the green & orange war in my mind and the orange has won out. The hard part is over. I've found a dealer with a good reputation & seems very honest & easy to work with. I was feeling real good about a new BX2230 when he hits me with a price on a BX2200...

Has anyone mounted front chains on the BX2200 ?? I know the owners manuals says don't do it, but that additional traction would be nice. We are getting tons of snow in NY this year and I have gotten it stuck twice. Those little tires on the BX get buried pretty easy. Just curious if someone has...

I have read that the JD 2210 has an after market fold down ROPS. Info Anyone know of any after market system for the BX2200? I sent an e-mail to Femco, hope they will respond.

I just saw the new BX that has cruise control. Question is can we add it to our BX2200?

I am selling my 2003 BX2200 with 40hrs. it has the 54"mmm. I am in North Carolina. I am selling it to go to the B7610, I need a bigger tractor for my needs. I am asking $8600.00 for it and remember no sales tax and it still has the remaining warranty.

A limb broke the plastic housing around the 3 shifters on the right side. Shifters being the 3 pt lever, 4wd lever and turtle/rabbit lever. How in the heck do you get the knobs or tips of the ends so as to take off the broken housing and replace it with the new one. It appears that you have...

I am new to this forum and this is my first post so please bare with me. I have been browsing for the past month or so and WOW! What a great source of information. I have been looking at the BX2200 and the JD2210 and have been leaning heavily towards the JD but the local Kubota salesman...

Last week I posted about my BX not starting in the cold. I have run it twice since getting it going and both times it started quickly but ran like it was missing a cylinder for about 30 to 45 seconds before smoothing out. This thing was really shaking and clanking! Once it smooths out it...

I know that this has been brought up in posts past but I thought that I would check again. Has anyone found a bolt on poly edge that would fit the LA211 loader on the BX2200?....if so where did you find it??...I'm tired of marking up my concrete driveway while pushing snow and wanted something...

Does anyone know if One can purchase a pallet Fork for the 3 point hitch that will fit a BX2200? Surely there is someone that makes a set for them

$7495 for BX2200 w/60\" MMM This unit has 300 hrs on it. I might buy it tomorrow. Any other questions I should ask? Is it worth it?

BX2200 won\'t start in cold It dipped down below zero last night and the tractor is in a Cover-it shed in the back yard. I usually leave the door open cause it's a pain to roll up and down so it got the full brunt of the cold last night. Luckily I don't need the tractor but I thought I'd...

Thanks again Sandy for the photo. Blower is on and running. I'll post a few step by step photo's in case anyone else wants the info. If you want more detail don't be afraid to contact me. I'm going to make sure everything runs right and then strip/sandblast/paint it for next winter. This...

If anyone can help out I'd sure appreciate it. I'm just about ready to mount a bit of a custom snowblower to the front of my BX2200 and would like a "side shot" picture if anyone can take one and post it/email it. I need a shot about maybe 5'-6' away? My question is going to be how far away...

Has anyone tried extending the wheels farther out to make the tractor more stable. Ever since I added the FEL I've noticed the tendency to want to flip over alot more. I have actually rolled it over on a small slope. I would like to extend the wheels out about 6" each and was wondering how...

My BX2200 has been sitting idle in the garage since Sept, so decided on this last day of the year to fire it up and recharge things. Ah, the sweet sound and smell of that little motor! Dang life is GREAT! No snow in the forecast, but I just got my biz insurance, so can take the unit off my...

I know this upgrade has been covered here many times and I have found Charliebrn's great step by step on how to acomplish this but I have run into an issue with the pivot bolt. Charlebrn talked about a bushing in the casting that needed to be punched out to make the hole big enough for the new...

Does anyone have some good pics of the bx front blower in action? I'd reaaly like to see some. We'll .....seeing as how were getting belted with snow and all....and I PAID for my blower in JULY and STILL DONT HAVE IT (not that i'm starting to get ticked or anything like that) I would just like...

We got about 16 - 18'' after all was said and done. Yesterday morning I was using the BX and FEL to move snow. When you first enter the driveway the left hand side drops off suddenly. I push a lot of snow over that edge and it falls down the embankment conveniently out of the way. I had...

I've read other posts about gearbox oil dripping out of the "GEARBOX VENT" when storing some 60'MMM's in the vertical position. I've looked but couldn't see the vent...maybe it's these 56yr old eyes...can anyone help??? .....also was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to relieve...

I just wanted to pass this on to those of you who are going to re-install your front loader. make sure that you carefully reattatch your hydraulic hoses so that they do not rub or bind against each other especially when the loader is in the full lift position. I noticed some wear on one of my...

BX2200 and woods 72\" backblade? I have the option to obtain a woods 72" backblade at no cost (used of course). I don't have the exact model number but was wondering if anyone has one of these that they are using or have tried and could tell me how it works / worked out with this tractor. I...

Today when I hooked up my FEL it will not tilt back up. It tilts down, moves up and down but will not tilt back up. First tractor so I'm not sure what to look at first or try?? It was used 2 weeks ago and worked fine. Thanks for any input.

Has anyone but me broken the flashing amber lights on their BX2200? I am going to move mine up on the rops after this weekend. TSC has a replacement unit, but it has the wrong bulb, it is a 2057 dual element bulb for tail and stop lights, the kubota is a single element bulb. Just curious jimc

Just picked up a 3 point 5 foot blade. Problem is I can't turn the blade around with out removing because it hits the lift arms. BX lift arms come from such a low pivot point that with any implment they are angled up even when implment is on the ground. Dealer where I got teh blade(not Kubota)...

BX2200 won\'t be used all winter - precautions? What to do to avoid problems come spring. Tractor is only used to mow. Not sure what to do about fuel. Fill or drain?

Does anyone know of a company that makes a "Bolt On" snowblade attatchment for the BX2200 loader?

I've been trying to locate info on a snowblade attatchment that will "Bolt on" a BX2200 loader....does anyone know of a company that sells them or if they even exist???

After seeing the fold down ROPS on the BX22, I wonder if it would be possible to alter the ROPS on the BX2200 so that it would fold down as well? Anyone had any experience with this? I have several places particularly in my storage building where I have very little or no clearance between the...

Hello all, I bought a BX2200 (w/ 54" MMM & FEL) this summer. Great tractor. I have a pretty basic question. As part of the purchase, the dealer threw in a block heater, but I have to install it myself. I'm looking for a drain plug for the raditor. I crawled around under the tractor...

Hello everyone,I have not posted in a while, been very busy.I am now coming up on 300 hours with my 3 year old BX2200 and have been extremly satisfied with its performance.My question is i have a front tire(turf type) that loses air over over a 2 to 3 week period.I have taken the wheel and tire...

Recently the 3 ponit lever has stopped centering itself. Is there a fix for this?

I made the attached one page check list taken from various parts of the Owners Manual. I've encased it in plastic and have it hanging next to the tractor in the barn. To be used by each of the three operators. I would appreciate any constructive criticism.

Checked the pressure in the turf tires as delivered by dealer. Both front and back were about 5 lbs above the recommendations in the manual. Dealer told me that's the way they came from Kubota. Seemed odd to me.

I have a general question regarding the amount of hydro slippage that is acceptable. Last week I was trying to push over an old clothes line post. I had the fel bucket about 3 feet up on the pole, put the tractor in low range and gave it a go. I expected one of two things to happen. The pole...

1) Where would you recommend setting the throttle for the five minute warm-up period? (I've been warming slightly above idle.) 2)When mowing with the 60 inch MMM? (during the 50hr. break-in period and thereafter). (I've been moving slightly below full throttle.) I would appreciate the...

Is there anyway to modify the type of valve that controls the three point to be sensitive to the speed/position which with you move the lever like on full size tractors? I realize you can adjust the rate the implement drops but the raise cycle is either on or off. This makes it very difficult...

I would like to dethatch my lawn while mowing. I am wondering about a dethatcher that could be mounted to the front of the Bota and mow at the same time??

While moving some dirt with the FEL yesterday I found myself being sprayed with hydraulic fluid coming up from the left floor board around the emergency brake and differential lock pedal. Turned out that the center line of the three lines under the left floor board developed a split. The dealer...

Howdy. First, just to bring everyone up to date, my BX2200 now has almost 150 hours on the clock and has cut grass, hauled/loaded tree trunk sections & leveled dirt since I bought it without a hiccup EXCEPT for the slug of water I got in a can of fuel once (which will result in changing one of...

I\'m comparing the BX2200 and the B7500..... I have a B7500 and I've noticed that ALOT of the users here have the BX2200 and I was wondering what is the big difference between the two?? What made you make the decision to but the BX over the 7500?? Is there something I'm missing or is there...

Hey guys, I can not find my manual, how much crank case oil does a BX2200 use with a new filter installed? Also, I am thinking about using Mobil1 5W30, any problems using synthetic oil???

I was at Davis equipment in Ashland Ky. yesterday and teh salesman there told me that in Dec. there would be a backhoe designed just for the BX2200. Said it would be available in dec. think he said woods was making it, he wasnt sure on price. He said probably around $4200, but not sure.

Hi Folks, After bushhogging and parking my BX, I noticed the dirt on the back of the machine was wet......seems to be coming from a red, breather type cap (small and loosely turns) under the seat in the back. I checked the fluid level on the dipstick in the rear of the tractor and it was way...

Well I've had the BX2200 for a couple weeks and have been using the FEL for everything and anything. I'd carry the groceries in from the wife's car if she'd let me! Seriously though I've been working on my driveway and adding dirt around my 25 yr old house that was never graded correctly...

Does anyone out there sharpen their MMM blades while still on the deck?.....best way to do it??

Originally I was going to ask a "which one should I buy" question,... but I think I'm leaning Land Pride. The question I have now is, will it work. I had narrowed it to these three as they are availble locally and I hoped they would all work on my BX2200. New KK 60" - $190 - weight unknown...

If I wanted to get replacement headlamp bulbs for my BX2200, what would you folks recommend. I would like to get the brightest bulbs possible, yet the safest for the machine as well. Thanks! Adam

Folks, I have been considering a small winch to put on the front of my BX2200. Specifically I want to use it to help pull logs out of the woods. Currently I use a large chain to drag out firewood or help pull down clumps of small birches(they grow like weeds around here). Would a small winch be...

Does Anyone know if Kubota has finally offered the kit for rear remote hydraulics for the BX2200? The last I got from a dealer early this summer was that it would soon be available, Just wondering if Kubota is offering it now or Has it died with the upcoming change of Models?

I went to install the block heater that I purchased last spring and a problem has surfaced. I had no problem getting the 17mm plug out of the block; installed the heater but it leaks around the threads. I have reinstalled it twice. I even used a different thread compound the last time. Has...

Leveling BX2200 60\" MMM I have spent considerable time crawling around the mower measuring the right vs. left blade height both parallel to the line of travel and to the axle and at various height adjustment settings. I have alwys noticed "streaks" in my bermuda lawn. I thought I was perhaps...

Ok all you other BX owners. Here is a question and I am sure you will just shake your head and laugh but, here it goes. Keep in mine I am Polish if that helps. I have a BX22 and want some better headlights. Does anyone know or know anyone that has installed H.I.D on there tractor? HID stands...

Hello All, Tomorrow - I think - I am buying from a local dealer, a used Kubota BX2200 for $12,500. It was used 35 hours. It has a midmount mower and a front end loader. The setup is in great condition - hardly a scratch on the body or FEL ... the MMM will be new ... and I get about 3/4s of...

my tractor started normaly, then after running about a minute started chugging an a white thick exhaust was comming from the exhaust pipe. I turned the tractor off, now it will not start (cranks fine). Seems like it is not getting any fuel. Tractor has 106 hours on it and maintained. My guess is...

My local Kubota dealer has a used 2003 Bx2200 with a 60"mmm for sale. It has 50 hours on it. He is asking $9500.00 for it. Is this a reasonable price? The previous owner traded the BX2200 in for a new BX22. The dealer said the BX2200 was in sound condition.

does anyone have a BX that is not level? My BX2200 leans 3/4 to an inch to one side.Is there a way to level the tractor,other than tire pressure.I'd sure would like to know if this a problem thats wide spread.the tractor is not in warranty. thanks.

Oil capacity with filter for BX2200 is listed as 2.6 quarts. I noticed a post that the BX actually holds 4 quarts and that is what he puts in his. Can anybody clarify??? Thanks

I am generally satisfied with new BX2200 but find the HST pedal to be very poorly designed. I am tall and it is so far off the deck that my knee is at an uncomfortable angle. Looks like you might be able toremove it and bend the pedal flat to improve it some with out changing the pivots or...

I wasn't positive where to go with this one, but I think oils fuels and lubes is NOT the right forum. Not enough Kubota owners... This is a parts question more than a lube question, so I hope this doesn't get moved. Ok then... The filter that came on my BX2200 when it was new, was a...

I'm thinking about the BX2200. However, the turning radius is listed as 7.5 feet. Does that mean if you are mowing you leave a 15 foot diamter circle uncut? Riding lawn mowers typically have less than a 2 foot turning radius. So, do any of you wish you could make tighter turns? And perhaps...

I was out doing an oil change and noticed the dealer gave a different filter this time. The filter 70000-74034 is much larger than the one I took off and the rubber gasket is about 1/8 - 1/4 smaller in diameter. Anyone know if this is the correct filter for a BX2200? PEMAD

Hey Fellow BXers: Does anyone have any helpful hints in changing the fuel filter on the BX ? I barely have enough room to get my crab-scratchers to the fuel filter, much less remove it. I do have the loader on, as well as the grill guard. I'm assuming I need to remove both of those so I can...

Puma 54\" Snow Thrower and BX2200 Hello, I've read that a few people here have the Puma 54" 3pt snow thrower for their BX tractors. My questions are does it fit properly 'right out of the box' so to speak and does it seem as though it would put an undue amount of stress on the tractor? The...

Simple as this... I hate to rake all of the leaves. I have tried mowing them, but the walnut leaves are so sticky, that they kind of hand around a lot. I was definite that this year I would get a bagger, and my problems would be gone... Unfortunately, the walnut tree has just begun to remind...

I have a Bx2200 and was wondering if anyone has any reccomendations as to what kind of bagger I should get for it. I am thinking that the Kubota one might do, but I am worried about having to empty it often. I have about two acres in grass to mow. Any suggestions would be appreciated...

Hi, I think I recall reading something in the past about a bx2200 fuel gage problem...but even with the restored "search all forums" capability I just can't find the thread! Have any of you bx1800/2200 owners had a fuel gage that is eratic? I was curious that mine stayed so close to the top...

Just found this site couple months ago while researching compact tractors. Bought the last new BX2200 I could find in my area. Driver delivered it Monday, said he was a "sub" for the regular guy. He spent a few minutes giving me a brief overview on this tractor. One thing he told me was it's...

I bent ( Don't really know how) the top link on my BX2200 the other day while running the aerator. I had the side that goes to the aerator out a bit but not to the end of the threads. Bent the end and I had to straighten it with the trusty sledge hammer in a vise. Looked for a new top link in...

After pricing the Kubota work light for the BX2200, I decided I could do better on my own. I thought I would share my approach, since it is a little different than the approach taken by others on this board (see attached photo). Here is what is needed: NAPA Tractor Work Light #50-620W-3 $8.79...

One thing the BX2200 is missing is a toolbox. I wanted to share with you my solution to this problem. Here is all you need: Sears Craftsman Compact Truck Box #965117 Two heavy duty plastic ties This box has double layered sides and bottom. This enabled me to cut 4 slots at the bottom just...

BX2200 \"Proper\" Fuel Filtration Well. The BX2200 and I have had some time to get used to each other in the past month: - Cut down/cut up four dead trees; rented a 20 cu yd dumpster & loaded it up w/FEL. That was FUN. - Swapped the ag tires for turf tires; dropped the FEL & mounted the...

Hello, I am thinking ahead since summer is flying by. I have a 5 foot rear blade that I'm going to use to plow snow. I have a 450 ft. driveway that has a grade upward towards the house. Do you think I need tire chains or weights for the front? If so what do you recommend? I don't want to fill...

Hello, Thanks to everyone who has helped me out so far. Like I said before, I am new to tractor ownership. My BX2200 now has 15 hours. What all should I do before each time I use the tractor? I check the engine oil and look for leaks from the hydraulic hoses under the steering wheel and rear...

I got my tractor back from the dealer today, Sure is nice to have good steering again, They replaced the entire cylinder The dealer said I was the first with the BX steering problem in this area. Nice to be first in something. Good Service, nice people at Ewald Tractor in Seguin, TX. jimc

Per prior post asking for opinions. Newbie with new home on 6 acres of well manicured grass. Want more capability than ZTR. Looking at K bx2200 with 60' MMM. Has a gravel road to be occasionally maintained and will probably be doing landscaping (smaller) projects. Any thoughts as to whether...

Looking at new BX2200 in northern AL -- quoted dealer price ~$10800 with 60' MMM. Have seen as low as ~$9500 in forum/other parts of country. I am newbie - should I try to get this for less than 10k? Anyone out there know of dealers in my area in which I might get better deal??

I want to know how to get this pin out. It broke real close to the universal joint. Any ideas or is there a special tool for this.

BX2200/60\"MMM I have had this mower for over a year now. I love this BOTA! After I am finished mowing however, it looks as if I have some white spots in the bermuda. I have taken the rig back to the dealer twice. The mechanic has diligently measured and adjusted to try to get it level. He...

I was out the other night working. I turned on the headlights early on and they worked fine. Turned them off because it was still light enough out they didn't make any difference. But when it DID get dark, turned them on and "nothing". All other lights work but not headlights. Looked briefly at...

I picked up my BX2200 on Saturday and already have 13 hours on it. I'm impressed with it. The compact frame size is deceiving of the power available. It's a well thought out piece of equipment with some nice features. (The seat switch isn't one of them!) It handles a 4' Rhino rotary cutter...

Hi, Just curious. My guess it that it is normal for the BX2200 to vibrate hard enough to rattle the hood and MMM when you turn the engine off at near idle, right? My B2910 shuts down real smooth compared to the BX. The period of time is about 2 seconds, after the key is turned to the off...

Well...imagination became reality today! BX2200 is now in the stable... Here are some pictures of them together... First one is a solo though. Including a measuring stick. Japanese student in the States for a couple more weeks before heading back to Japan. Pop Quiz...how old is she? Answer...

I have developed a steering problem with my BX2200 at 270 hours I had not heard of any posts about this problem on TBN (Yet) It will work all the time steering to the right, but when driving in a straight line it will drift to the right and when I try to turn Left the wheel will turn 1/2 to 3/4...

Two weeks ago, I bought a new BX2200 with 60" deck and FEL (paid $12,200). I love the tractor, but there is one thing that seems to be a problem, and I was wondering if anyone else has had the same problem, and if so, how it was fixed. Here's the problem: My PTO selection lever is sometimes...

I just reattatched my mower deck today after doing some front loader work. When I took the deck off I switcked to Bar tires for better traction. Now I notice that after reattatching the deck with the Bar tires still on that there seems to be very little clearance between the deck and right tire...

This is sort of a continuation of the safety seat thread........... One of the things I realized early on was when you get off your BX, you should set the brake, go to N and turn off the PTO. (If you want a shock, be parked on a sloping driveway with the engine off and in gear. When you pull...
