kubota bx25

I was ready to pull the trigger on a new BX25 last week, but at the last minute found a used BX23 with 270 hours for $10,000. However, I conducted a thorough search for the best Bx25 deal. If you are in the market (Western MA), I'm happy to share the results of my research. Just send a PM...

Sadly last weekend I had the task of excavating a final resting place for our family dog of 12 years who was recently diagnosed with bone cancer. The 12 inch bucket performed admirably as I took my time for about an hour and a half at full depth. I'm sure its better at trenching but it did the...

OK, I'm stumped and in need of help. From what I've read here, if I'm willing to pay cash a new BX25 can be had for $16,500 (I'm in New England). Tonight I looked at a used BX25 (350 hours, 2009-no warranty) that was very clean and well maintained. Options include a thumb on the backhoe, a...

How much weight have you carried on your BX25, 3 pt hitch without causing damage to the rear differential or axles. Can anyone tell me how much is too much? I was thinking about building a set of forks for the 3 pt to move large rocks to be used as a base for a wall. The loader won't pick up the...

Had a day without rain (finally) and started digging drains to try and direct some of the water thats flooding my yard:mad: A couple pics of the days work I was concentrating on getting the far edge as straight as possible, the near edge will be straightened when i install the lawn in...

I have a large urban lot and am looking at a BX 25 to dig water lines and landscape the back yard. Can someone with experience tell me if the BX25 backhoe will dig in hard pan clay? I also have a lot of rocks and some tree roots. It just seems small to dig but I've had some dealers tell me it...

Getting ready to put a 60" belly mower under my BX25 at a local dealer. Having the deck under the tractor does it interfer with the 3ph operations, can you use the bh with the belly mower attached? Is there anything I need to know right up front about the mower deck, things to look for, things...

I was adjusting my ROPS and the welded nut on the frame which the thumb screw threads into broke off. I have I had my BX for only a few weeks and haven't used it much because of work. I realize it seems trivial but I am extremely disappointed by it. Has anyone else seen anything similar and any...

Anyone see any problems with this set up. Found a used brushed hog which is affordable but want to make sure it fits and will work well. I have the 3pt hitch already? Any advice is appreciated.

Finally have a dry day and im trying to hook up my mower... But it appears i might be missing parts. Well a single part actually. I have the rck54p-23bx deck. I have the front "L-shaped" link, that goes from the deck to the frame of the tractor, but it appears that im missing the...

I'm very close to buying a BX25. I've got several acres of small trees and will be selectively clearing. I know I need the back hoe to pluck stumps. I'll be running a 6" chipper off the PTO and pulling a box blade. Once I'm done removing trees I'll mainly just be using as a finish mower...

Hi all....I am trying to get an idea on a good price to ask for a BX25 w/LA240 loader, 54" belly mower, and backhoe- everything is kubota. Tractor has about 40 hours on it. Purchased 6 months ago new. Thanks.

Has anyone added a wing plow for pushing back snow banks on a BX25? I am thinking of using the right side Loader mount as the front attach point, the 2" receiver as the rear pivot point, and using te 3pt arm as the lift device. Will this work? Has anyone done this on a BX25? I see a green one...

As the title says I am just about ready to pick up a BX25 and I am wondering what kind of tires to get. I will be doing some landscaping, so I am leaning towards turf tires, and I do have a John Deere ride on for mowing so I won't be on the grass all the time with it. I will mainly be using...

Hello, just bought a BX25TLB and was wondering about insurance for small jobs around the cottage. I'm from Ontario Canada. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks Don

As you may remember, we last talked about my Engine Oil Filter relocation project and during that discussion a gentleman, Volfandt suggested I ramp it up a notch and launch a project to relocate the hydrostatic trans filter and install a cooler with thermostatic bypass while at...

I have not used this yet, but when I do I'd like to know that I can add some weight to the auger to assist in some downforce. Got the idea here on the forum, just took a different approach. This is a 1" curling bar that I welded tabs on, drilled 9/16" holes and bolted to the support bar. I can...

Would you mow across a 15-17* slope with a BX and MMM? Would you add weight to the tires? We really need a poll option here on TBN:D

Removed the backhoe on the BX25 for the first time today. Pretty straight forward and easy. Now it seems that my curl and lift on the loader is weaker than it was when the BH was attached. This isnt a counterweight thing i dont think. I have the BB installed. There also appears to be more...

I am just putting it out there that I pushed a 55 Willys that had been sitting for 8 years on flats and sunk into the dirt and very stiff, onto a flatdeck trailer. It still simply amazes me how well this little machine performs. :thumbsup: Anyone else care to share their push/pull stories?

Hello folks....new here. I just sold my Farmall A last night and am taking delivery on a BX25 tomorrow morning. I was wondering if there are recommendations for a thumb for the BX BH?

Anyone worked out an equipment rack on their BX25 somewhere? Looking for a way to carry along a shovel, rack, ax, etc., without keeping them on the floor board of the tractor or the backhoe. Photos if got'em please... David

Hi All, I am coming up on 2 years of ownership and about 100 hours of usage, so far it has been trouble free and lived up to and exceeded my expectations. I have logged about 25 hours on the BH and this past weekend, I had my hand on the boom when I noticed it was very hot. Not too hot to...

Hey All, Two questions on CAT 1 post hole diggers. First, how are these for SCUT's? I rented a one man operated post hole digger and it did the job, but was a killer to use (45 holes and I felt it the next 4-5 days). I think I saw a post a year ago saying PHD for SCUT's were not that good, but...

Anybody fill the front and rear tires on a Bx25? I have industrials and have already exceeded the available traction.. Loading the tires would help and also add weight down low for working on my hills. Ive read on TBN that Kubota doesnt recommend loading the rears? I mentioned it to the dealer...

Does anybody know the OEM for the BX25 Factory thumb? Or have a picture? Took delivery of a new machine today, but the driver "forgot" the thumb. Dealer was supposed to have it installed for todays delivery. When we talked about the thumb he said it bolted directly to the stick... however...

Anyone know what the discharge pressure is from the transmission pump thru the oil filter ? I am trying to size a pressure gauge for a remote oil filter system. Someone may have a shop manual that will tell you this. I don't want to know the hydraulic line pressure, just the pressure seen to...

Just joined the forum to pick your brains about a backhoe mounting problem I'm having with a new BX25. When I follow the mounting instructions and raise the rear tires to insert the mounting pins, the one on the left side goes in perfectly, but I always have to struggle with the one on the...

Hi - I was just approved by Kubota for the 60 month 0 % deal on a BX25 plus some attachments. The dealer tells me he has a new tractor for me. I've asked is it a 2011. He says yes, it's a new one but he never will say it's a 2011. I've not seen it yet to check the serial number (A=2010 vs...

Been thinking about a BX.. Started a thread discussing it here http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/kubota-buying-pricing/194897-what-can-bx25-do-bushog.htmlbut the more i read the more i wonder about a b2620. I guess this thread would be best to discuss what benefits if any for a B2620 (or a...

I have been busy, yes I know you've missed me. But I just got a garage addition finished that will house my new BX-25. I've had it tarped over since I got it back in November. After digging out the space needed for the garage and before I put it in it's new home I felt that the FEL bucket needed...

Hey guys, I've been following this site for a long time, it helped me a lot in the purchase of my new bx25 :) So now I have my first question, I found a loose, important looking spring under my seat when I flipped it up for the first time. It is gold in color, about 5 inches long and has a...

After 2 years of watching this site and research, finally bought a BX25 Absolutely love it. :thumbsup: Already ordered BX expanded hooks will order Extreme metal products thumb (they look better to use for pulling out brush by stream than Bro-tek) First question : Best way to scrape up about...

I noticed hydraulic fluid under my tractor when it was on my trailer.It was dripping from under the floorboard,so I followed it to the hydraulic control valve (manifold) which is right below the battery box.After reading posts here on TBN,I called my dealer and brought it in for repairs.I told...

This will be the second tractor I have owned. The first was an 8N that I bought to 'tame' the old barn foundation after the stone was buried by my neighbor. The 8N got too big for mowing with the flail mower and I reluctantly sold it. I have 5 acres of flat clay land, 2 of yard and the rest is...

I have a new (1 year old) Kubota BX25 and I am having a problem with the female connectors that go from my loader to the tractor. When I went to put the loader back on the tractor this spring the female connectors (I think) seem to be leaking. Has anyone else had this issue with the...

It arrived and I put in three hours on the BH working on enlarging my bass pond. I was surprised that I picked up the hang of the BH after just a few hours. Can't wait until tomorrow to play again!

Hi Folks, Can anyone share their experience with "pit run gravel" with their bx25,24 or 23? I am looking at building an RV parking pad/driveway extension. Just no sure if this larger stone is going to do more damage to the bucket and hoe than its worth. Thanks bxn

Im sort of considering upgrading from a x540 Deere mower to a BX25... Maybe... Couple questions: 1. Ive just discovered that the 3pt hitch isnt included.. Not to get too far off topic.. but .. Really Kubota? It is a TRACTOR afterall... I was unaware of this fact when i was talking to the...

Looking for smaller to medium size tractor and found a 2010 BX25 FEL/BH/60" belly mower. Tractor has 51 hours. Asking price is $15,000. Mostly used for yard landscaping, smoothing drive, odd jobs....nothing heavy. I don't need the mower, but it is all or nothing. I hadn't considered a BH...

Anyone? I would need it shipped to Jackson MS or would pick it up if it were reasonably close. Thanks, Wes

just like the title says. i have a chance to buy a 60" mowing deck off a bx25 and they are around the same size as a b2320. was wondering if anyone knew if the deck would work on my 2320. thanks for any help...

The good news is that there doesnt seem to be any shortage of new units. I was surprised the folks are trying to sell the used machines for maybe 2-3k less than a new one and their machines are 5-6 years old. They don't seem to be selling but just sitting. I would like to buy in sales tax...

Just painted the toothbar I made not long ago for my BX25. It got pretty rusted up recently, when it was bare steel, so now after painting it I thought I'd take a few pictures before I began sticking it in the ground and messing up the paint job until it starts to look the way it's supposed to...

Well I tightened up the loose hydraulic line on the backhoe, no big deal with the right tools. Told the dealer and he gave me a gallon of hydraulic fluid to top it off. Got done the chores of mowing and grading the driveway, so it was time to play. I cut in a trail to the upper part of my...

Hi guys. I bought a land pride box scraper (the 54 inch wide one). Where the clevis pin goes through the lower arms of the tractor, there appears to be two places you can mount it. On the outside it is a narrow opening, and on the inside it is twice as wide. The manual states to use the bushing...

I'm in! I just ordered my new BX25 with MMM, snowthrower with all trimmings. Expect to have it delivered in 2 weeks.

Will this and this along with the necessary plumbing and switching suffice for a decent set up? I don't really want hoses and bulky valve controls up in my operating area. I'd like to conceal as much of it as possible. I'd like a neat and clean looking appearance and a simple 2 way momentary on...

Just bought a BX25 with 31 hrs on it. I had been looking and looking for a BX 22,23,24, FEL & backhoe. What I found was always 2 states away. Then Alakazam, a BX25 less than 2 hrs away with a really good price. So I borrow the neighbors 18ft trailer and off I go, no trailer brakes. Seems you...

I got it today. The wait is over. The decision is complete. Wow that feels good!

Just purchased a BX25, which will be my first tractor. This forum helped me make my decision so I thought I would do my first post. The unit came with the standard equipment FEL, BH and 3PH. Added were a 54-inch mower deck and both turf and RT tires. The cost was 17,400, which seems like a fair...

With snow & Ice going I removed my snow chains and front plow blade. Putting my front loader back my BX25 proved more difficult than expected! :( I can achieve proper attachment with either the left or right side but if I try both the round surface will not seat into the "U" shaped tractor...

She's going to be leaving us for a few days soon to get a new radiator shroud and new seat belt installed. :(

Did a recent redo of my back yard using my BX25 and RTV1140. BX25 to move most of these big stones and about 15 trips with dirt in the RTV1140, 3 full scoops of BX25 FEL bucket per trip. Under my back deck is the house for my RTV1140. Pretty tight so going to remove the retaining wall stones or...

Some one asked me a few months ago to take a picture of my Kubotas together. I had been keeping the RTV1140 away from the BX and F since it was a different color and didn't know if the two Oranges may attack the Camo guy. Well, got them together and since I've decided to start using my video...

What deck length would I need for a trailer to haul a BX25? What's the minimum, and recommended, GVW capacity would I need for a trailer? Thanks!

I live in Jackson, MS and have about 4 acres of bermuda grass to cut and currently own a Toro 50" zero turn. I live on a lake and could use the backhoe for cleaning the bank and so forth. My main concern is the comfort while cutting and the finish compared to my Toro. Will the 60" deck with...

Hello all As of yesterday, I have a BX25 sitting in my garage. I have big plans for this little tractor this year. This is my first tractor experience so I am very excited to start digging. BXwoodsy

Hello all I thank everyone here. All of you helped make my decision in choosing the Kubota bx25. After the previous winter, snowplowing is not for me. (my own driveway) Bxwoodsy

Well as a kid my dad had a smaller Kubota on the two acres I grew up on and I got lots of seat time on that. However now with my own family we are on about 4 acres and lots of trees around us so hauling wood and general clean up around the place is getting to much for a wheel barrow. Plus we...

Hi, just purchased my BX25... Have been reading here for some time, thanks all and look forward to sharing. We pay a bit more down under, but I'm sure it will be worth it.

Along with this armrest project I intended to make a small toolbox to attach to it to hold some key tools needed to work the hooks, winch, etc. Finished it today. It is 1/2" plywood, stained oak and attached to two 5/16" all thread thread locked into two of the existing holes holding the arm...

I am looking at purchasing one of the two listed tractors as a TLB package. I currently do not have a need for any 3 pt. attachments - but want to think about the future and not limit myself. With these two machines are there attachments that you can not get? I realize there are wieght limits...

I got my arm rests thru my Kubota dealer today, $100.00 for the kit. Install was very easy. Here is a pictorial and part number for your upcoming install:) later

I have narrowed down my new tractor purchase to the 2 referenced tractors. Looking at getting the TLB package. Uses are for around my house on 3.5 acres (some flat and some hills with 1/2 acre of grass). I have a cub cadet lawn mower so I am not looking to mow with it. I have many projects...

Can anyone help me understand the differences between the bx24 and the bx25? Is the bx25 merely a newer model?

these tires and wheels are for sale locally. Does anyone know if they will work on my bx25. They would be perfect for using with the mmm. Kabota B1700 turf tires Front tires: 23 x 850 -12's. Rear tires: 33 x 1250 -15's thanks

I just removed my front mount snow blower from my BX25 and after I removed the quick hitch attachment,I noticed the shaft on the quick hitch was really loose. there are 2 bearing flanges on it that's attached with 2 nuts,bolts and lock washers. One flange was just floating on the shaft and the...

A quick question, I would like to install my quick connect sub-frame so I can use my snowblower. Do I need to remove the brush guard or can I fit the sub-frame on with it? :confused:

The 'bota is gonna run me around 16,500. I don't have a price on the Cub yet. The specs are amazingly similar. I'm thinking the Cub may be a little cheaper. Both dealers are well established long time dealers, but the Kubota dealer is a little closer. No mower deck on either. Really want the...

I had delivered today a Kubota BX25 with a snowblower. I am new to the forum and just saying hello. I managed to play a bit in the snow with the bucket and this machine exceeded my expectations. I am going to have fun playing outside again.:thumbsup:

I have had my BX25 since September and I am very happy with it. I have a question about the stabilizer legs on the backhoe. Is it normal for them to drop down from the parked position (that is fully stored) when the machine has not been used for a day or so? One of the legs (the right side...

After "daydreaming" about it for a couple of years, and seriously considering it while I was in Afghanistan most of last year, I finally pulled the trigger on a new BX25. Should be delivered sometime next week. :D:D:D I'll get it with the 3PH, 54" MMM, grass catcher, and loaded tires. -I've...

I am due to take delivery of my BX25 later this week. One of the implements that I have from an older tractor is a Woods RM59 finish mower. Will the BX25 be able to mow with it? The specs for the mower say that it is 60" mower that weighs almost 400 lbs. It is a finish type mower and I had...

There is a grease fitting on each side of our BX25's BH that once you get the grease gun on it will not come off. The two zerks are also the only ones that are painted on the whole tractor...:confused: Does anyone know a remedy for this???

In the operators manual it mentions greasing the "loader control valve". Is that the valve that the joystick is attached to? If so we can't find the zerk...

I followed an old post for adding a toolbox to my BX25. I ordered a 50 cal.ammo box from ebay for $12.On the back of the seat you'll find plastic plugs that are set up to receive bolts.The holes I used were 7"on center.I drilled some smaller holes towards the bottom of the box to add rubber...

Thanks to you all, a BX25 is sitting in my shed. Now I need a tiller and an auger - any advice would be greatly appreciated. Nothing too heavy, just a homeowner enjoying life here. Thank you

My dealer says forks mounted on the loader bucket like the clever looking BXpander forks won't lift enough weight to bother with (longer lever arm). Any experience with these?

I have a bit of a delima. Last summer i bought a Deere x540 garden tractor. As a lawn mowing machine its preformed above expectations. Comfortable, fast and powerful. However, im now in my first winter at the new property (hillside) and need to have a more year around machine that can handle...

Hello everyone. New to the forum. Ive been around large farm tractors all of my life. But I dont know a whole lot about subcompact or compact tractors at all. I have 16 acres at my residence of mostly woods and five acres of yard that is mowed with my ZG 20, a rental property with 4 acres, a...

I have read all of the posts that come up with a search on this topic. This specific question hasn't been adressed. Has anyone tried an adjustable snow blade mounted to the FEL bucket (such as the Bxepander blade with ground skids) and leaving the back hoe on the BX25 as balast? How would...

What is the best attachment for grading a gravel road? A rear blade or box grader?

So, I have been debating on buying or building a 3 pt splitter and decided to build one. I am not sure I saved a whole lot building one but I wanted to try out the regen valve from prince for a faster extend stroke, if I had a tractor with a higher pump output I most likely would have just...

I'm about to buy a BX25, and I want to make sure I don't forget anything in the way of options etc. I already have an L3130HST, so the BX25 will be my wife's tractor (she'll let me borrow it to dig holes). My plan is to get a 60" mid mower, canopy, and rear work lights. I also want to be able...

I live on a hill and I need to move lots of dirt /rock to river bank? How does the bx25 work on hills? Thanks stevee

Does anyone have a drawing showing how the Hydraulic fluid routes throughout the BX25 tractor ? I'd like to understand this flow better thanks later

That I bought a 2nd one !! :laughing: Close match though later

It's done! Traded in my BX1860 for a BX25. Signed the papers on Tuesday and my new BX25 will be delivered sometime next week. Dealer said they might be able to get it to me by the end of the week, but I told them it was actually better for me next week when things calm down from the holidays -...

I started my next projects today, a FEL boom pole and a trailer hitch. I worked parallel paths on these jobs and made some good progress. I was able to finish the trailer hitch first. If you look at the rear hitch area on a BX25 you will see a 3/4" hole for a ball or other and under that is a...

We got just over a foot of snow here in South Jersey. I was all set to attack it with my Craftsman snow blower but the darn thing wouldn't start (clogged fuel line, I suspect). No matter. My BX25 was sitting in the garage chomping at the bit to get at the snow (or maybe I was). My gravel...

I have a BX25 and I use it on very level ground. I want to chop down my rops to only protect the lights and also have it look like factory and it belongs. I know the ROPS should not be modified but it is mine and I will own this great little machine forever. I also want to mention my old tractor...

Here is the beginning phase of my new "Dubbs" technologies light bar for my Kubota HBX25. In the end I'll have 4 - 18w LED lights on it. Two forward and two for the back. Using the "Dubbs" procedures, there will not be any drilling, welding, marring, tampering, modification, scratching or...

I have a BX25 and would like to occasionally drag my parking area without removing the backhoe. I am using a home made I-beam drag to which I have welded chain hooks. I would appreciate any suggestions on where to attach to the BX with the backhoe still on. Yes I could remove the backhoe and...

The BX25 has an extra reinforced framing member (unlike the other BX's) to accommodate the increased stresses from the included BH), but it seems that this frame comes so close to the rear tires that I do not have enough clearance for the ladder chains I bought. I also have a clearance problem...

IT started from a Ebay Scarifier shank 16" long and 3/4" thick. Extra heavy duty shank with hardened tooth. After gathering some measurements I started welding it togther. All of the gussets and mounting plate is 1/2" thick. Notice along the tooth face I welded on a 3/8" thick x 1" x 15" long...

Anyone know the exact diameter of the two pins that hold the bx25 backhoe bucket on ? Thanks later

After reading all the great discussion on TBN about chains, I decided to order ring chains for both front and back (for a little over $200 plus tax). Hopefully the installation will not be too much of a PITA, and then we will see how well they perform! (Got about 10" or so up North, and am...

I was copying my serial Nos. and such down into my manual for my BX25, and the engine had "D902-E3" and said BX23, instead of the "D902-E2-BX-2" that was printed in the manual. What gives?

What is a good size box blade for the Kubota BX25 ? What size can it handle and a manufacturer recommendation ? I saw the United you tube video and I like what it can do. Seems like a curved blade is the way to go. I'm new to a box blade use later

On my BX25 the backhoe is currently attached right now, and I need to check the hydraulic fluid level. This needs to be done with the lift arms down. Since there is no 3-point hitch on the arms, they won't go down. :mad: I tried adjusting the draft control, and after I turned all the way to one...

Where can I get some matching orange spray can paint for the Kubota bx25 match ? thanks later

Well, today we (me & Dad) preformed the 50 hour service on the BX25. First I took off the backhoe and mower. Next, I took off the mower for the first time. :mad::confused::confused2: Then we started to take off the grill guard and we did not have a tool to take off the hex bolts on the front. My...

Just bought a new bx25 and she's a beauty ! Going to start digging tomorrow. What are some of the attachments or mods folks have done to them ? later

I am thinking of getting a good toothbar for my BX25. I have read about all the different ones, and don't mind buying one. The only really nagging question that I did not see an answer for was the weight. It seems that adding the toothbar means you will decrease the amount you can put in the...

I just did my 200 hour oil change on my BX25, and found that the tractor took more oil than the manual said it would. The manual says 3.1 litres, but I was up to almost 4 and still not up to the upper marking hole on the dipstick. As well, the manual seems to show a sort of cross-hatched area...

This is probably the dumbest question ever asked on here, but here goes anyway. On the BX25 top link 3pt hitch, what is the little square shaped loop on the outside of the cylinder used for? Is that where you can put a prybar or something to turn it after it is connected to an implement? I turn...

So thanks to all the help I received over the weekend, I went with phase I and picked up a LandPride 48 rotary cutter from the dealer this am, $1245. Ouch. A dealer further (50 minutes) away was 50 bucks cheaper, but did not have any in stock. The dealer I bought it from is the same dealer I...

First post, though I've been reading this forum a lot for a couple of months. Question: My BX25 fuel gauge no longer reads the amount of fuel in the tank. It now always reads full. It worked fine for approx first 25 hours, but since then (52 hours now) it no longer indicates fuel use. I...

Hi to all Does anyone know if the bx25 will be able to load a gmc mason dump. It's a 3500. Thanks John

I thought I would start a thread to post pictures of my BX25 form time to time for your enjoyment: :thumbsup:

Hi there ... new member here from the Niagara Region of Ontario. My wife and I recently purchased a 76 acre farm. We rent out most of it to a pro-farmer and we are slowly taming the 6-10 acres that is the 20 year derelict jungle that will someday be our homestead. We are hoping the BX25...

Dealer delivered my tractor few days ago and I know how everyone likes pics, More to follow.

Does anyone know why the manual says NOT to mount the backhoe with the mower deck on the tractor? I know it will fit with the mower in place because the dealer did it when they delivered the mower deck (which was back ordered). I can see why you would not want to cut grass with the backhoe in...

I have a new BX25 with a 54" MMM. Does anyone know why the deck moves down about 3 to 4 inches when I use the 3 point hitch even when the deck is locked up at the TOP position on the dial?

Want to hear from those BX23/25 owners that remove BH, install 3ph kit, remove 3ph kit and then reinstall BH. Like one to five times a year or more. Know it will be a lot easier but a bit more expensive to just buy a B2320 for 3ph work. What's $180 a month really worth?:)

Just got my BX2750D snowblower for my BX25. Waiting for the snow.

Hi All, Have been a Kubota fan for many years and owned a B1500E, G1800, BX2200 and loved them all. Now, will be in the market for a BX25 early next year. Even have my wife's OK!!! (Glory!) Got to looking on the Kubota Corp website and noticed in the specs that the BX2660 has 2.5 more HP than...

I had the pleasure yesterday of adding the pedal as another thing that squeals when used. When I step on the pedal (to move forward) it squeals like I ran over a mouse or something. The first couple times (before I realized where it was coming from) I actually got off the tractor to look under...

I have a BX25 and am thinking about getting a Rottary Cutter to clean up some ATV trails. The Trails are already established but they have the new growth in the middle between the tires. I would say the thickest growth is at the most 1". Would a BX25 be able to handle a 4' Rottary Cutter? If so...

Ok, So I finally got to get on the tractor after getting it back from the dealer for about an hour tonight. I had to stop when i saw a trail of fluid behind me... I have a steady stream of fluid coming out of what looks to be a rubber piece behind the rear tire. Anyone seen this before or have...

I have a new BX25 with an OEM ballast box which I will be installing for the winter. I'm thinking the bottom of the box might be a good place for a trailer hitch. Does anyone know, or would take a guess how far off the ground the box bottom would be at maximum height? Any comments on the idea...

Hi I think the 4wd is no longer engaging properly. Prior when I had moved around on something solid it would need to try a little harder to turn. Now its feels like its in 2wd all the time and disturbingly free. There is still some kind of release when disengaging the 4wd (as if the front...

I just bought a new Bx25 and I am wondering if there is a need for the Brotek or any other skidplate since I believe Kubota now has added some protection for the transmission fan. Should I get a skidplate or do you think the fan is protected enough with the stock equipment on the Bx25?

For a variety of reasons I am selling my BX24 and I am going to buy a BX25 ... I believe the current MSRP of the BX25 is about 19,300. What are recent buyers paying for a BX25 without any mowers or implements? Thanks

Can anyone tell me how this works on the BX25. I've read other threads but still can't figure it out. I've seen where the stops are but moving the hitch lever it completely goes over the stops....I've tried pulling the lever to towards me but the lever still does not come in contact with the...

I've just purchased a new 2010 BX25 and I love it. I am concerned however with some faded paint and I was wondering now I can tell that it is truly a 2010 and not a 2009 model. Is their a difference between the two years. How can I tell it is a 2010.:confused2:

In my quest to purchase a new SC, I didn't find many reviews for the sc2450. There are many for the Kubota and enough for the JD. What was out there seemed to focus mainly on price. To help me decide, I made up a simple table with specs that seemed to matter to me when thumbing through brochures...

I've been talking with a Kubota dealer which has told me that he could install a backhoe on a BX2660. And I could purchase it for around the same price as a BX25. However I cannot find any other evidence of this. Does anyone know if it is possible to mount a backhoe on the BX2660. I really want...

Hi all. This is my first post on this website. I've been lurking for a while doing research for my first tractor purchase. I'm considering buying a new bx25 w/48" or 60" land pride finishing mower. Today I talked with a man that is looking for someone to mow his acreage every other week. He...

While digging a 60' trench for some drain tile I noticed at about 50' (as the rain started fall) everything stopped dead with the a little hydro fluid smell in the air. I looked down and saw the quick disconnect had come apart. I shut down reconnected - everything was aok except the rain...

Wallenstein BX42 chipper arrived so I want to share the action! :thumbsup: Chips are flying and more yard projects are in process! :D

I recently bought a BX25 and wanted peoples experience/opinions on using it with the Farmi JL290 logging winch. My dealer had one winch left (Farmi doesn't make this small winch anymore apparently). I have 20 acres of mostly woods and an outdoor furnace. I want to use the winch to make the 10...

My BX25 has 91 hours on it. When the hydrolics get under load they make a high pitch screeching sound. (whether it be for the 3PH or bucket) It just started, not sure what it could be. Stupid quiestion # 1. Is the same hydrolic fluid used for the tranny the same for the hydrolic lines? Thanks, Scott

Hi All, Just ordered my new BX25 today and expect delivery in a couple of weeks. Probably have lots of questions as I a newbie to the tractor world. I have 12 acres of mostly flat land bordered by a creek and river. Want to build on it in a few years but in the mean time use the BX25 to do...

Here are some pix of my home made forks and chain hooks. I must give credit to all those who posted their versions, since I used parts of some of them in mine. I started with a 1 1/2 by 1 1/2 by 3/16 length of angle, and welded the posts to it, prior to welding it to the bucket. I milled...

Hello, I have a BX 25 with 135 hrs on the meter. Today for the first time I removed the BH and installed a new 3pt hitch and Box Blade. After about 20 minutes of use it started making a squealing sound when ever any hydraulic function reached it stop. I first noticed it when the 3pt hitch went...

Just a few shots of the new toy.. aww I mean tractor...work horse!! Seat time is seat time however you do it I say!!

Any Ideas on what might have been strained? Got stuck in mud wayyyy back in the woods , managed to work myself clear using FEL and Backhoe . Afterward noticed a few things all FEL related. Bucket tilt makes an unusual whining noise (always did ) but this is louder than normal when moving...

Considering these two tractors. The Kubota BX25 is of course a complete unit and the 2010 version priced at $19,995 42 mths 0% The NH T1110 is at least 2 years old but only has 2hrs on it, it has the 210TL Loader and a backhoe (not sure of the brand, perhaps a woods) that I will assume to be...

1. Does everyone else notice that the steering wheel never centers in the same position after use. I bought a spinner knob to help with reach but its in a different spot after each use. Not like that on any other machine I have used. 2. When using the dump function on the loader will it raise...

I was greasing my BH and the grease fitting all the way down on the boom snapped off when I was pulling off the grease gun. It broke at the thread so there is no way to put it back in without getting the broken threaded piece out. I can try and drill it out with a special bit (that never works)...

I pulled the battery out of my 16 month old BX25 last week so I could better access the radiator (clogged up with dog fur but that's a whole 'nother story) and found a little bit of wet and corrosion below the battery! What the heck? My question is what battery, other than Kubota, will work in...

Having a hole digger handy is breaking me up! Lowes has trees on Clearance for 50% off at some stores and 75% at others. My Lowes had them at 50% off and I asked the Garden Center manager if he'd match the other Lowes with 75% off, he did. Bought 4 Maples priced at $45 each for $11 something...

I'm just curious. Can you tell by the serial number what year it is?

Ok, Long story short. My tractor is in the shop now. It has been there for 7 weeks now.... They are trying to fix it and said they would take 5k and trade in my 09 for a new 10 bx25... I laughed and said how much for a MMM for it. They say they will have it fixed by the 2 month mark... I doubt...

I would like to say Hello on my first post and that I have been lurking here for quite some time. Finally bought a BX25 today (sorry no pictures). I am of a short stature and would love to put on the 2660 seat for the adjustable seat back. It felt wonderfull at the dealer and plan on...

Here's my story. I'm reading the forums and one was about how to check fluids when you get your tractor home from the dealer. So, after work today I get home and decide to check the front case oil and it's low. It's so low that nothing is registering on the dip stick nor on my picky when I stick...

:D Two Months and 100 Hours & my projects continue! :laughing: Herb, Tomato, pole bean, pea, asparagus, onion, potato & strawberry raised beds now exist where rocks, grass and weeds were before. Flower, shrub & Hosta plants are surrounded by select boulders and veggies try to survive the 90+* F...

My BX25 owners manual mentions the seat has a place to store the manual. My seat doesn't have anywhere to store a manual. Are there different seats depending on when the BX25 was manufactured?

The price difference is $1,800 or more between GC2410 and BX25. It looks GC2410 is better machine than BX25. Is it worth I pay 1,800 or more on GC2410?

Hi All Two problems "out of the box" with my new BX25. One minor, but an annoyance. The Fuel Gage does not work. Always reads full. Called the Dealer and they ordered a part and will take care of it. Now the Major Problem. I noticed that the HST seemed to be loud (whine), but I know...

I'm a new member here (great info and advice I've been reading, BTW). Soon I'll take delivery of my first tractor, a Kubota BX25. I'd like to ask for some advice. I live on about an acre. I have several plans in the works for my new toy. First, I have a stone driveway that needs rehabilitation...

I have a Kubota BX 25 I use personally around my property. I am doing a landscape design for a client and he asked me if I can move the dirt he will have to order. It will be delivered to his front yard and have to be hauled to his back yard. It's about an average 170 feet travel distance...

Looking to put a thumb on my BX25......does anyone have thoughts on which one would be the best. I been comparing the Brotek and the Wallensteins. Have also read that the Wallensteins has a few issues with it moving and potentially causing damage. Any suggestions? Any other bolt on types out...

My BX25 Rear PTO Shield detached and I can not re-attach it. The shield is held in place by a spring loaded rod with a tiny pin holding it in place. The rod will not slide to the right far enough to pass through the right hole in the Rear PTO shield. Anyone know of a reason for this? Is the pin...

Just purchased a BX25. I've checked around and I got it for a decent price so that makes me happy too. I intend to do a lot of landscaping and gardening. When the old Craftsman lawn riding mower dies I'll get a mmm for the Kubota. I've been fascinated by the capabilities of this machine...

After a couple of years of freeloading on the great advice provided by members of this site, I thought I'd try to repay these contributions with a modest submission of my own. In particular I have noted many queries about the relative merits of the BX tractors vs the B series. I now have one...

Been watching a bit of a leak down around the transmission housing sides and bottom. I'm hoping I just overfilled with SUDT a bit. Must be losing it only when the engine is running, as I clean it off and don't see any the next morning. Hard to tell exactly where it's coming from, but appears to...

When you don't have much level land you have to make your own. Just finished this little turnaround along my tractor driveway in a formerly overgrown wooded hillside I've been working to reclaim and terrace. It will also make a nice area to split firewood, which I store in the adjacent shed...

Hi all I am the new (and happy) owner of a BX25, with FEL and Backhoe. Had it delivered last Tuesday. Just starting to find my way around using it, and so far it has been a joy. I've read most of the posts relating to this little gem, and hopefully will contribute as time goes on. Primary...

Just bought a bx25 and must say that I should of had a toy like this a long time ago.Problem is that my wife like it as much as I do. Just ordered a soft sided curtis cab today,thouhgt I would get it before the fall rush only 1 / 2 week delivery. Pays to do a lot of shoping big difference...

I think the gray grille guard on the BX25 sticks out like a sore thumb. I much prefer the Kubota orange guard pictured below. -What do you guys think? (I snagged these pics off of the net, so they may look familar)

I've got a dumb question on setting up the BX25 BH for digging. When setting the FEL do you use the blade tip to raise the front of the tractor up? When I 1st got the machine I was told to basicly dump the bucket and set the blade tip into the ground and raise it so that the front tires are...

Well , I finally finished about 1,500 feet of road throught the woods around pasture. Many many stumps had to be removed as I navigated my way through. Took quite a while and I learned a lot of patience is required, But BX25 did fine even on hilly terrain. Pics show steepest part of the grade...

I live in the North San Francisco Bay Area and got a quote on a BX25 with some implements and wanted to check how it compares. The basic BX25 with loader and backhoe - no bucket or 3 point hitch -> $19,299.53 Seems high compared to what I've read here 12" backhoe bucket -> $464.00 Gearmore...

Hi Made the plunge and bought a BX25. I am really completely new to using a sub compact tractor with a FEL and backhoe. I have come to this site in hopes of learning what the capabilities of the machine are and to learn techniques for efficiency and safety. Thanks comments certainly welcome

Well now I'm thoroughly in a crap mood. Last weekend I shredded the HST fan on a branch. Figured this wouldn't be too bad to replace. Replacement fan is $11 from the dealer.. sweet. I'll have this done in an hour or two. Crawled under the bota and figured I'd have to disconnect the shaft...

Looking for an aerator for my BX25, would like a heavy duty unit, any thoughts?? Also is there an overseeder out there that the BX25 can handle. We have about 2.5 acres in turf grass that was planted last year and has come nicely but I understand that to maintain a healthy yard, aeration on a...

I see on the bx25 the 3pt is a option. Whats the price running for the option, and can the bh stay on the tractor with the 3pt installed or is it either bh on and 3pt off? Newbie just trying to figure all this out

Well, I bit the bullet and bought a new BX25 last week. After getting prices from three local dealers and a couple non-local dealers, I landed a price of just over $18,000 locally for the tractor with a 54" MMM and filled rear turf tires. And I sold my 2001 G2160 garden tractor for $4,750...

Could anyone share with me the price they paid (new or used and year) for a Kubota BX25 with bucket and backhoe. Are there other suppliers of attachments for a BX25 such as an Auger and High weed mower. What would be the next higher upgrade B model for Kubota and the price difference for what...

My Kubota BX25 arrived today! :thumbsup: Thanks for all the great advice and I will be looking forward to more! Only one week and the BX25 & attachments arrived except tiller and tooth bar! My complete set of all Bro-tek add-ons and BXpanded FEH hooks are enroute. :D :D :D After 5.6 Hours I...

just bought a new bx25 today:) cant wait to try it out as soon as the rain stops and thanks everyone for all the help! -ps ill be sure to post pics when it arrives on wednesday;)

Bonjour ! Just got a new BX25 Kubota, I like it very mutch and I'm learning... It's my first tractor. I have read many comments on this site before making my mind on witch machin to buy and now it's done. I am reading usefull things like grease basics and I appreciate the help from the members...

After a few months reading the forums, much research and a final BX25 demo on my site today, I ordered a Kubota BX25 with filled r4 tires, 12" BH bucket, 3PH, 60" Hyd Front Blade, Canopy, block heater, Landpride Tiller, Landpride 54" Box Blade, Woods 60" Rake and Woods 48" Tooth Bar. Tire chains...

Sorry! Wrong Topic

Any issue running Chains on rear R4 Tires on Kubota BX25s? Any problems with clearance? Solutions? :)

Last week I had decided on a B3200, then talked myself into a BX25, now wondering if the Massey GC2410 might be a better choice. Prior to that I was looking hard at the Yanmar CCs, too. I like the small footprint of the scts, but the extra power of the 3200 is compelling. I will need a mmm 2x a...

I am looking into the new Curtis Cab for a BX25 has anybody priced one? Anybody have one installed yet? I really would like to hear from someone who has some experiance with the Curtis cab install especially the heater I hope to have some priceing on Monday and will share that info as well as...

Hello. I am new to this website and I am hoping I can get some advice on which tractor to buy. I was going to buy the Kubota BX25TLB tomorrow but then I discovered the Massey Ferguson GC2410TLB. I don't know much about the Massey Ferguson but after watching the comparison video I think it...

Tilled my brothers garden and moved some dirt and then tilled my neighbors garden and then moved some more dirt and then got the new BX25 out and took some side beside pictures. Noticed the BX25 runs smoother and quieter and the accelerator lever on the BX2660 is really stiff compared to the...

I know that Kubota does not offer owners manuals online, but if anyone has one scanned in for a BX25, I'd love to get my hands on one. I'm seriously considering the purchase, but I'd really like to have a good feel for what I'm getting into prior to purchasing, or even demoing, the new tractor...

I'm likely going to be purchasing one of these machines soon, and I was wondering how long it would take to dig the foundation for my new garage with the 12" bucket. The trench would be about 2' wide and 3' deep, and overall, I'd have about 110 linear feet. I guess I'd have to grade down...

When she took my tractor keys I didn't realize just how upset she was.:confused2::);)

Does anyone know the overall length of the BX25 with both the backhoe and FEL attached? I am currently designing a new garage with a dedicated space for a tractor, and even though I may end up with something different, I want to plan for the biggest tractor I would possible put in there. I see...

Hello Everyone, this forum has been a real blessing to me; I think I must have read over 100 pages of threads! I am naturally a "researcher" of products before I buy, and I've found a ton of great info here and learned a lot from all of your collective experiences. I think I am settled on a...

Hi all, Probably picking up my "first" tractor next week. BX25. Wondering if there has been any chatter on this forum about the "Quick-Hitch" system for the snow plow. The dealer is indicating that he feels it would be better at plowing two (30 car) parking lots, and a very long, and wide...

Stopped by Barlows and signed papers agreeing to send Kubota $158 month for 42 months and Steve gave me 2 hats. He's supposed to also later bring me a Free BX25 when the weather gets better. I also have to give him a B3200 FEL, PHD, RFM and Landscape rake but who cares, I don't need them...

This Tractor Newbie is still looking at options to use on the NH land shown. No grass to cut but would like to maintain our 3+ acres, create a garden and remove snow. The slopes cause me to prefer to keep most attachments in front. Any suggestions? Ever consider a Track loader? Help! :)

Well I did my 50 hour oil change this weekend at 48.9 hours on the hour meter. I changed the engine oil and filter, the HST oil and filter and cleaned the screen, and changed the two fuel filters, and changed the front axle oil. The air filter looked fine, just wiped out the little bit of dirt...

There has been some talk of the Laurin Eclipse cab here. Does anyone out here in TBN actually have one? I would hope that someone that actually has one to share some pictures and experiences with us.

Hello, Just wondering if anyone on here has priced a BX 25 in last few months in Ontario. I'm ready to buy but the local dealer doesn't want to move on the price. I think it's still about 2K too high. A BX25 w/ Turf, canopy, quick hitch, 3pnt, 54" mmm, & 54" front blade was $25,000 cdn Thanks

I have a BX25 with 160 or so hours on it and I have noticed a couple of strange things with a couple of items. If someone could check their machine, it would be appreciated. I need to know if there is a problem or I am just paranoid. The items are: 1.. With the bucket in the air, I can rock...

I am at 42 hours. I hear an occasional screech from under the hood once in a while recently, usually shortly after startup, this is a new sound. I guessed a loose fan belt might be making the noise. The bolts on the alternator were very tight! After loosening the top adjustment bolt it still...

My BX25 has lost its "go". This is especially noticeable when in low gear. Let me explain: this was with about 90 hours or so on the machine. I was doing some work for about 2 hours or so moving muck/soil/gravel, using the bucket, from point A to B. That's when I noticed that the speed...

Is there anyone out there that can share a success story of finding just the right pan that fits between the rear tires of the BX25, fits under the hitch frame, and holds all the oil that will come out?

hello, don't have my camera right now but i noticed on the right side of the bx25 just in front of the backhoe attchment pin there is an area that has an outline of what looks to be a missing bracket. any ideas? if you look at the back wheel it's just behind it on the frame in the 2 o clock...
