Questions for Kubota?

[radioman]

Actual tach and indicator lights (or multifunction display) for parking brake, 4wd, PTO, Temp etc.

Wonder how the meeting went?

I totally forgot about parking brake light! The BX sure needs one big time!!!!

I forgot to mention one other thing that I inproved on this B3200HSD is the exhaust pipe pointing right at the FEL arm blowing black sut and turning the loader arm black, and the whole left side of the loader for that matter.

That's right! And you could also mention that whatever exhaust doesn't end up coating the side of the tractor often gets deflected into the operator's face.

It's surprising that Kubota hasn't fixed this yet. And it's downright weird that every single design team across all the Kubota models continues to make exactly the same mistake.
Since the exhaust position is such a a simple mistake that exists on every tractor across the entire model line, I wonder if the exhaust design is linked to something we aren't aware of.....possibly a misinterpretation of some upper level management decision?

But what I find even more odd is that the aftermarket hasn't jumped on this as an opportunity to provide alternative exhausts for the Kubota. There seems to be interest in a real exhaust stack to get those fumes up and away from the tractor. I'd sure buy one if it was available.

by the way, I have a BX2360 with 60"MMM and FEL and Landpride BB0548 . Already cut the boots on the tie-rod ends.

I scraped mine off 2000 hrs ago. Not worrying about it has been 100% effective.

Just a comment - Kubota had so many problems with the BX24 and its various components - such as the tractor body- the shift knobs coming off - the screen cover warping, etc - although they updated or made repair parts to fix the problems (if you checked around and found out in time) however people like myself who didn't know, got stuck with the problems. They should have notified every owner of the problems and sent the repairs to fix the problems! Other than the problems - I love the tractor!

good point audrey.. and welcome to TBN!

Maybe they should change the color. Maybe paint them a pretty green instead of orange! The green tractors look much nicer and have less problems. I have both. Thinking about painting the orange ones green

Just saying I have fewer probs with the deeres than the botas! Might be new to the forum but not tractors! And the green is a nicer color than the orange!

It is just a shame to see a thread gets side tracked needlessly.

You make a blanket statement with no explanation, presenting it as fact when it is nothing more than your limited experience.

I can accept yu find John Deeres you have owned/used to be more reliable than Kubotas you have owned/used, but that is not what you said.

I have had more trouble with Case, Massey Ferguson and John Deere tractors I have owned/used than Kubotas I have owned/used, but have never nor will I ever say Kubota is better than John Deere/Case/Massey Ferguson or Kioti, LS, Mahindra for that matter. Brand bashing serves no purpose what so ever and in my opinion, puts the validity of the bashers opinion in serious question.
