BX24 Operation and Insights

[RayCo]

Hi Sam. I wouldn't worry too much about the learning curve. Everything has that, and although when I got my BX it came in as the fourth tractor on my property, it still felt totally different to drive and get used to. But, unless you're someone who will wind up making history, you will get used to it pretty quickly.

As far as the stability, like other said, take it easy going sideways on slopes. I'm still a bit uncomfortable going some places on my property where I'd zip through without hesitation on my other tractors. Of course, these other tractors are much smaller, and I can lean to counterbalance. That doesn't exactly work with a BX.

It will stop quickly, especially when you're backing up in high range.

I spent about 10 minutes showing my wife how to operate our BX, and shortly after, she was zooming around with her hands up in the air like on a roller coaster and doing a decent job with the loader.

The BX really is a pleasure to drive.

We hope to be test driving a BX 24 in the next week or two. Same thing goes for comparable JD, NH and Kioti models.

NH and Kioti don't make sub compacts.
The only tractors comparable to the Kubota BX24 are the Massy Ferguson GC2310 and the JD 2305.
Every thing else is the larger Compact class tractor.

I'm pretty sure they do.

New Holland does make Sub Compact tractors -- check out the following link. Welcome to the TZ Series

*I guess I need to restate this:
NH does make Sub Compacts but no factory BH is available for them therefore they aren't comparable to the Kubota BX24 and JD 2305 with factory Back Hoes.
Not sure what Kioti offers but they didn't have a sub compact when I bought my BX23 in 2004.
I don't know what they might have come out with since then.
The only sub compacts with a factory back hoe still are the Kubota BX24, JD 2305 and the Massy Ferguson GC2310.
Sure you can get an after market BH and put it on a NH Sub Compact just as I could put and after market BH on my Kubota BX1500.
I did not include the BX1500 and NH S=Compacts with after market BHs because the original comparison is between Sub Compacts with factory Back hoes rather than after marker BHs.
*** Still so with the exceptions/changes I just noted.

There is one other small tractor available with a factory FEL and BH.
It's the Simplicity Legacy XL Which I consider a super Garden Tractor rather than a Sub-Compact.
