kubota x-24

I have a BX- 24 and was having a thought on trading up to a BX-23. Can someone talk me out of that ? I have a Curtis cab, skid plates, snowblower.

I need a new or used bagger to carry grass cuttings/etc to the garden for compost/mulch. Prefer PTO driven blower, but am open to all ideas. Saw the Protero attach. Looks good, but the price is $4500 new. Times are tight now. Looking for ways to get this done. Would love to hear from folks...

Need some experienced opinions here. I bought our BX-24 with loader, belly mower, 4' tiller and backhoe about 7 years ago. It was a lightly used machine and it performed quite well. Now the machine is up to about 5000 hours with 95% of it work simply belly mowing around the farm. It has...

I have a BX-24 with a 2750 front mount blower..... Is there a replacement available that will fit ? 2nd question: any after market replacement dash boards for the BX-24

Has anyone installed one with the ability to remove quickly and/or easily ?? The cab makes mine a little top heavy.

Not a tractor professional but have done minor maintenance on my BX-24. I ran it out of gas a few days ago, newbie mistake, and now I must change the fuel filters. The side facing filter I was able to do relatively easily, I used 2 needle nosed pliers to clamp the in/out lines, with some rags...

Which one..... inline in a heater hose or in the block ?

What is the biggest snowblower that a BX-24 can handle ?

Any ideas ???? Kubota bx-24 Ran fine for about 4 driveways then it runs very rough barely made it back. I have been using a fuel additive already and just added more even some of the stuff in the red bottle that you use after things gel. Temp gauge read a little lower than normal when...

Hello, Taking a survey / looking for suggestions....... Block Heater or inline heater in the lower radiator hose ???

Hi folks, So the wife decided to do a bunch of mowing with the BX24 herself, because I was out of service with a neck problem, and the mowing couldn't wait. The job, she got-er-done alright, but told me that she almost crashed at the end of the session because our tractor had "no brakes"...

I'm getting ready to downsize next year and will no longer require my BX-24. I was hoping I could get an idea of it's value along with the attachments. My neighbor is interested in buying it from me, so I'm looking for a fair price. BX-24 with 200 hours Loader Hoe 48" mowing deck Powered...

Stalls over 2000 RPM. Will start and idle if kept under 2K. Replaced both fuel filters 2x, drained tank, cleaned, blew out lines. new fuel, treated fuel. Fuel Pump makes clicks like it's working. Any suggestions?

My BX-24 has 175 hours on it. I found a large puddle of hydraulic oil on the floor of my garage this morning where I keep it parked. I put it up on ramps, and crept under it to see what might be going on. The entire transmission in the vicinity of the filter is wet with oil. It's soaked in...

After 1100 hours on my BX I started to get a squeak in one of the rear axle bearings. I didn't think much of this since I was going to change the UDT anyway, so it seemed like a good time to change the axle bearings. The note in the service manual to "prepare a special clip pillar [sic]"...

I had a tree branch crush my BX-24, basically hitting the seat and bending the driveshaft, which then broke the rest of the way when started. There's other damage as well.....but the engine is fine...and the backhoe is fine.... Is it possible to put the backhoe from the BX-24 onto BX-2360?

I recently sold my BX, and was thinking I never told this story on TBN, and there may be some who are interested. When I bought my BX I picked it up in a 144" Dodge sprinter van. Sorry this is the only picture that I have. I didn't know about TBN back then, otherwise I'da taken more pics...

The block heater on my BX-24 died recently. The contact pins completely rotted off and there's no saving the plug or the heater. Since the heater is pressed into a freeze plug hole, I'm left to wonder how to pull it out! Anyone have any experience to share? Here's a video for you to ponder...

I have had my BX-24 for about 5 years now and love it. Wife says I love it more than her but we have been together for 40 years now so I think she is exaggerating a bit. :D I would like to purchase a tiller for it sometime in early 2013. I will use it for gardening and also food plots. What...

I'm putting a shop in my barn, and the sump discharge has to go out back. I took the FEL off of my BX-24 and managed to get the trench done while working in what felt like an underground parking garage! Have a look-see: Orchard Diary 9/14/2012: Cider Shop pt 5 (Trenching pt 1) - YouTube...

I went out to the barn and saw the entire floor covered in hydraulic oil (been sitting a couple days) and started looking for any drips. The inside of the left wheel was clean and glossy, then I noticed the seal was all the way out of the axle and all the fluid had leaked out. I looked closely...

Hi All, I am adding to a thread I started in Feb. 2012 about my tractor burning up the transmission. I am pleased to report that my local dealer has done the right thing and repaired my tractor. Turns out that a washer, which is actually a bearing race, had split down the middle and had gotten...

HI All, I have not been a member very long, maybe a month. I bought a 2007 BX-24 and was happy with it until a problem showed up. I got the machine from our local Kubota dealer who told me they just did the 50 hour servie. The tractor only had 76 hours on it when bought. The tractor worked...

This is the biggest stump I have ever had to dig up. It's a yellow poplar probably over a hundred years old. Took about 6 hours total Time to dig remove and backfill. I am always amazed with what this little tractor can do with a little time and patience! I had several people say there was no...

Changed my hydraulic oil and filter, cleaned the screen etc..at 233 hrs. Second time, first was around 50 hrs. I checked the Workshop Manual from Kubota just to be sure I remembered it right from almost 3 years ago... That's when I saw an interesting note that ought to put all the UDT vs...

There I was, having a grand old time rearranging brush and the like when I suddenly lost traction... I got myself out to a clearing and found that something had physically ripped the valve stem off of the rim! I was bummed. On the other hand, I was very grateful for the following: a) it was...

I have had Bro-Tek wheel spacers on our BX-24 since we bought it, and I just wanted to shout out that they have proven a very worthwhile investment. I run chains on all four tires in the winter. I cannot imagine trying to install/run chains in the back without the spacer. I run on uneven...

Went into woods today with Rex (the BX-24) to clear undergrowth and cut firewood for winter. I had the brush cutter on the 3-pt, and the tooth bar up front left over from an earlier job. The tooth bar ROCKS at clearing undergrowth and snags! I was amazed at how Rex ripped up thorns, brambles...

1. Locate and remove the front axle oil fill cap. 2. Locate and remove the the axle vent caps located on top of each wheel hub assembly. (Failure to remove these vents will prevent complete removal and replacement of the axle fluid.) 3. Locate and remove one of hub drain plugs located on the...

If you've left the parking brake on and now you're thinking you need new brakes, READ ON! Yup, you just ate a lot (but not all) of your brakes. If the pedal goes to the floor, this procedure will let you put off spending big bucks for quite a while. 1. Remove the right rear tire. 2. Locate...

I have yet to get my FEL to play nice and park well on my very uneven ground. This is what it did to me today :( I know it's not suppose to look like that, but that's what it took to shake the booger FEL off of the front of the tractor...

the fluids look fine and the radiator fan is turnig good.. is it the thermostat? Is so, can this d-level mechanic, with no special tools, fix it! What do you guys think.. thanks.. rory

Hi All, Would love to hear some opinions or experiences on using a 4' or 5' box blade on a BX24. I have some light to medium grading work to do and am favoring the 5', but am not sure and also wondering if the BX has enough power for it (think it does). My terrain is root and rock infested...

Attempted to start tractor. Needle on right side gauge moved when putting ignition in warmup position (needle did not move on left gauge). When putting ignition in start position, only a click sound could be heard on left side of dash. Tried a couple more times with same result. When I...

Hi folks I have a few y/o (still under warranty) bx 24 that has had a constant problem with several od the o-rings on the loader control leaking. I have had these things replaced three times soo far and still I have a leak that develops every soo often. I used the machine today or about...

I just noticed my BX was running very cool. Popped the hood and noticed the spade connector on the temp sensor had separated from the sensor body. The spade was still in the receptacle on the end of the wire. It obviously vibrated loose from the post on the sensor. I was able to snap it back on...

The hood on my BX-24 rubs against the front of the cowling. I can't seem to find any adjustment other than to shim the hood lift assembly by placing washers under the 4 bolts that attach the hood lift assembly to the chassis member located just above the muffler. Anybody else have this issue?

Just noticed the plastic cover over the instrument panel on my '06 BX-24 is loose on the bottom. I suspect the dealer will claim "out of warranty", but thought I would seek board wisdom before I go there. Has anyone else experienced this issue and what did you do to fix it? Did you remove the...

My BX-24 with 690 hours appears to have a failed transmission. All service has been done at the required intervals. The rear wheel drive doesn't work in either low or high, I have no brakes, and the differential lock doesn't appear to do anything. The front wheel drive, hydraulics, power...

My neighbor has asked for my help with some drainage issues between our properties, and the fast way would be to use the backhoe to make clean-shallow ditches. My concern is that my baby has a tendency to sink to China when I have the backhoe on and I'm working on soft ground. I plan to have...

I recently bought a used BX-24 from a private party. This tractor was never stored inside. The owner did not have a mower for it and he never used the three point hitch. The problem I have is the the three point hitch lowering speed knob and the cutting height control knob do not turn. Did...

I have been using my backhoe to dig a seemingly endless curtain drain trench and thought it may be a good idea to operate my machine with the hood open to vent the heat. The fan still cools the radiator, but I don't really know if the air still gets to the front of the engine compartment to...

What is the front and rear lug nut torque for a BX-24 THANKS

What RPM'S DO you cruise around at? Use the FEL? Use the rear loader?When I bought my machine the salesman said 1/2 to 3/4.

I'm having a heck of a time getting my BX-24 started on the initial startup of the day. I keep it in my garage which is under the house so it never gets that cold. I have to put the fuel throttle lever on full, hold the start key for 60 or so seconds and then crank and crank to get it started...

This cedar stump took me about 2 hours to dig out several weeks ago. I finally got around to moving it today. I couldn't lift it with the loader and didn't want to drag it and scrape up the lawn. I finally managed to grab it with the backhoe and the thumb. I had to have a big rock in the...

Looking for a 9" bucket....anyone want to sell or know where to get? I understand they are not available anymore.

I am thinking of purchasing a front mount Kubota snowblower for my BX-24. I do have tire chains, and loaded rear tires. My reservation is that portions of my 80' long by 40' wide driveway have 8' tall retaining walls (without the additional snow on top). I suppose I could blow the snow toward...

Does anyone know if there are any retrofit parts for the BX-24 that will allow the FEL to operate at idle such as in the BX-25? What about parts that eliminate the abrupt stop in reverse?

Here's what I'm using.

I have a BX 24 and had taken the seat off and took it to the dealer 80 miles away. The material was separating from the foam in the seat. While I was there I told the dealer the fender had cracked. They told me ift would be tough to get it replaced under warranty. I emailed Kubota and...

For some reason the top link on BX-24 is very difficult to turn. The end with the securing nut is easily turned by hand but the other end is so tight I had to put it in a vice to turn it. I can't recall an incident where it was bent but the tight end is warmed by the friction trying to turn it...

Hi, I finally got around to putting the new seat on my BX-24. Everything went really well until I managed to pop the spring off the seat position rod while removing the seat from the tractor. Unfortunately this happened before I got a chance to see how it was connected. It looks like the...

The BX-24 appears to be strong enough, but the tires are just too small to grip the sand with this load. You can see in first photo the ratio of the tractor to boat and the pitch. In second photo you can see the bucket bending from the togue weight. I was really hoping I could downsize my Jeep.

Man is this thing heavy. Seems like a fairly serious loss in lift capacity. 86lbs !! Why is the bolt hole on the toothbar slotted? Is this to allow folding the toothbar up without completely removing it? The 9 tooth coulnt it pretty nice. The build is a little sloppy, many teeth crooked.

So, I have posted a few messages, complaining about my BX-24 problems. First it was the electrical on the system which was causing the clock to run 24/7, logging me at 64,000 hours, then I went to step on it and the deck cracked. So, I call my dealer to schedule an appt. to have it fixed under...

With the help of my brother-in-law, I installed a steel driveway gate and will install the opener tomorrow as all the civil work is complete. Of the two tractors, the BX-1850 did most of the work using the 3 pt. The BX24 did support work. BX-1850 1. Power cable run to gate from house to gate...

I mowed a field today and it got up to the 80s here in Maryland. In tall grass, with the 54 inch MMM, the gauge was running close (1/4") from the red on the 1850 (running at 2,600 RPM during break-in). With the BX24, it never got closer than 1/2 inch from the red in the hottest days of summer...

My soil is pretty sandy, so i was hoping to use a standard 9" auger, instead of the compact tractor 6" version. I'll be setting some 4x4 posts for a deck.I was thinking the 6" version might be a little small for those post.What do you guys think?

Last week while clearing some land a small stick pop up and it broke all the fan blades off that little white plastic fan attached to the rear of the drive shaft. Local Kubota dealer quoted me $800.00 for the labor and only $5.00 to $10.00 in parts for the PLASTIC!!! fan. Kubota dealer also said...

What is the difference between the 60" mower and the "fine cut" ? My dealer tells me no difference other than thicker metal and 6". Thanks

Hi all, Unfortunately, I lost my manual for the BX-24 and am down to checking the HST filter screen for my 50 hour, but I have no clue where this is located. Could someone please let me know where to look, or post a photo? Thank you, JB

There is a used BX-23 for sale local to me here in the Santa Cruz mountains (Northern California). Details are: 2006 Kubota BX-23. 4x4. 22HP Great Condition. Everything works like new. $13,900 OBO. Only 300 hours ! (nothing for these little diesel engines) Powerful Compact Tractor. -Spare...

Thinking of selling my BX-24 with about 65 hours on it. Any thoughts on how much it is worth??

I have a BX-24 with snow blower, box scrapper, grass catcher, skid plates, thumb and Payne forks. I took delievery the second week of Jan. 07. Due to circumstances beyond my control I have to sell it. What do you think it might be worth ??? Where would be the best place to advertise ? Thank You.

you guys have really been helpful in my decision to purchase my new bx-24. I was wondering if i should have them load the tires. Would that be a negative for mowing? the other thing i was wondering, is the same thing Dusty was wondering. What seat replaces the factory seat, if you are trying to...

You guessed it. CRACK!

The yard project is done and I need to move my BX-24 10 miles away to our vacant lot. Ideally, my dealer will come pick it up, do the seat recall, and deliver it to my lot. Unfortunately they are not able to tell me when they will get the parts for the seat recall. I could hire a tow truck...

I tried this in Attachments last week and only got 1 reply. Hoping for some more help here. The finance minister has approved appropriation of funds for a Rototiller for the BX-24. So far have looked at the KingKutter XB and Woods GTC52 Estate Series models. Would appreciate anyones...

The finance minister has approved appropriation of funds for a Rototiller for the BX-24. So far have looked at the KingKutter XB and Woods GTC52 Estate Series models. Would appreciate anyones experience, recommendation or warnings for a subcut tiller. Is the Woods worth the extra $300? Thanks,

Hello, I am in the market to purchase a new BX-24. However, due to my area (South East New Hampshire), I am limited to 1 dealer (MB Tractor) and hence, lose the competition factor. I am wondering what the pricing should be for a new BX-24 with some attachments (MMM, SnowBlower, Bagger, etc)...

I spent many an hour on this little project this spring. I ended up with about 45 hours on the tractor to bury 700 feet of sprinkler pipe, build 225 feet of fence, spread 40 yards of topsoil, and spread 20,000 pounds of drain rock. This was a new house on 1/5 of an acre with an unfinished...

I've used my backhoe a fair amount, about 20-25 hours, and have always greased it dilligently. For the last several hours I have been hearing a loud squeak while operating it. At first it was only occasionally but eventually it became more regular. I was freaking out that I had somehow missed...

When plowing snow with my fancy new Kubota BX-24 the transition while moving in reverse to stop is very abrupt. It is not this way when going from forward to stop. I previously had a BX-2230 and never had this problem. I plow in high gear range, approx. 2500 RPM using back blade and FEL. My...
