Mowing Bx 23 mower deck

[Idahoryan]

I bought a bx 23 with a loader & BH last year. I searched All over the tristate area looking for a deck to fit my tractor no one had one in STOCK!
They all said that they have to order one and it would take three weeks!
Finally I thought I found one. A dealer one and a half hours away. so i went and bought it and paid1,800 for it . It was a RCK2350-BX NOT KNOWING IT WAS WRONG ONE I TRIED TO MOUNT IT . Well it dident fit I called the dealer and told him, he replied he thought I said 2350 which I know I did not!
I know he sold me the deck because I told him I had been looking everywhere. Judt to lock me into a sale he said he would order the right one
well a long time later I still do not have my deck and proceeded to look else where and another dealer said they do not make a deck for the 23 any more.
I said WHAT! I just bought it last year thats why I purchased a new tractor to avoid this stuf. Well does anybody know the truth about this ? And why did Kubota Not make all BXseries decks the same. how stupid can they get.
All I want is a mower deck for my tractor. I think onethousand eight hundred dollors is a little steep for just a deck! Has any body else had this problem with a 23?

I just went on KUBOTA website to check it out and the BX23 is still there and with all attachments. It is hard to believe that they are no longer making the mower deck but three weeks waiting makes sense since the BX23 is an older model, sad for me too to say this but my BX23 is three years old already.

3 weeks sounds like a long time but if they've gone to building them to order, it makes since.
When I ordered mine 2 yrs ago it took less than a week. Course we're talking GA to TN and the BX23 was the latest and greatest.
$1850.00 sounds about right also.

With the introduction of the new remodled BX's, I doubt Kubota will be running the old style assembly line much longer.

You may try contacting some other dealers as they may have one sitting around collecting dust.
RCK60B-22BX = 60"
RCK54-22BX = 54"

Another option would be to go with a RFM. Woods, King Kutter etc make nice ones. Those that use them have posted many good things about them and they can be had cheaper.

I prefer the MMM and 3 weeks isn't that long when you've been without one anyways

Good luck

I just traded in my BX23 with a 54" MMM on a BX24 yesterday. If you live anywhere near Elizabethtown, PA, call Neil Messick at (717) 361-4850 because he has a lightly used Kubota 54" MMM on hand.

I called Neil next day he aready sold your tractor Thanks anyway.
My dealer gave me a delivery date on wed july 19 and has told me several times he has called kubota but I am still getting no reply why my deck is not
here yet. Still happy with my Tractor, but not the dealers communication & organization skills to say the least! Have been more than patient and kind for getting no answers as of yet. Will probably go around sales and go to owner.
