Legendary BX23 Longevity Video

Found this video of a BX23 with 2400 hours

Kubota BX23 Takes a lickin', Keeps tickin' - YouTube

Was the HST fan still OK? .. we should see who has the worst BX on TBN, anyone got one as bad?

Whats it worth on trade in?

Man..that is like the Toyota truck they tried to destroy on "Top Gear".

HAHAHA This was my first thought. I have a skid plate on my BX23 and I still have bad dreams about that fan.

priceless, but I expected them to start it right up

It went by fast but I think all the HST fan blades were missing - couldn't tell for sure. I thought at the end they'd start it up and drive it around a little. Should have added that to the vid, but still, that thing is so bad, it's almost like a bad of honor to own it.

Yeah, I was thinking "I saw the licking part, but didn't see any ticking part." Wonder if it does still actually run?

Wow. I had 650 hours on mine when I sold it and I thought it was a little beat up because the buckets were rusty and the paint was a little faded.

That thing has just plain been abused - and it still went 2400 hours.

Kubota should buy it -and put it in the front lobby of their corporate headquarters with a sign underneath that reads " still runs like a Kubota".

either that or - " You should have seen what the Deere looked like"

I called Jennings and spoke with Brady...

The BX is customer owned and still being used.

They hope to do an updated video...

Wow,

looks like someone drove it into the fire instead of dropping the load in the fire.

Also is that a bullet hole in the hood about a third of the way back? That's pretty classy.

I sure am impressed with the punishment the BX took but I can't help but wonder who abuses their tractor like that. I mean, let's face it some of that damage could only come from abuse and woeful neglect. :-(

I was thinking the same thing. But, I would love to see it start and operate!

call the SPCBx

Looks like it runs as the hydro shafts were the only thing clean on the whole tractor...Good Lord, who does that to a 20K machine....I try to keep my 23 looking as good as when I bought it new in 2004...looks like they just took a spray gun and hammered the whole thing in orange without even washing it..

 

[ultrarunner]

I was told it had a rough life in the woods of Western Washington and got stuck in a ravine and left for some time.

When I called the Dealer he said the BX is well known...

The owner brought it in on the trailer to have the Dealer evaluate.

Geez, while it's tough all over, I can't imagine those front wheels staying on much longer.
