Saying goodbye.

It'll be sad to see the old girl go. But she's making way for a new BX25D-01, coming this morning. This one has a quick attach coupler, and let's me use pallet forks easily.

Your trading your older BX25 to a new BX25D?
I had a BX25 and traded it to a B2620 FEL BH and recently traded the B2620 to a BX25D.
The brake pedal has been moved to the left side with the lock on the floor so adjusting to that difference. Mine, as do others that have replied doesn't stop when the go pedal is released in forward, (does in reverse) the tractor keeps rolling. I hate that when trying to do close up work. Brake on the left helps some by having foot on it ready to stop but none of my previous or other current Kubotas require braking to stop with the HST. I DON"T LIKE IT!! Waiting for regional rep to get back from vacation to see what he says about it.
Hope you discuss, at least, with your dealer if your does the same thing (doesn't stop when forward pedal released) unless you like it.
My favorite Kubota tractor for my purposes....the BX25.:thumbsup:

That has to be a old photo. It looks brand new. Good luck with the new Tractor.

How many hours on the old one? Looks like someone will end up with a very nice machine. Congrats on the new 25D.

Congrats on the new tractor! You will love it i'm sure. Did you have any problems on the BX25?

I'm wondering if your new tractor will have those new regen pollution devices. Good luck with it.

You're right, That's an old photo. Here she is just before leaving.

No problems with my old BX25, It was quite a workhorse. The timing was just right. I got $8000 trade-in, no interest for 48 months, and a quick attach with pallet forks. The new payments are less than what I had been paying. As an added bonus, all the stress and strain of learning how to use the BX25 left with the old girl. Now I just have to put on the Bro-Tek thumb and skid plates, and the BXpanded Bucket Expander and Quick-On Receiver Hitch. I hope the thumb will fit. Here's a pic of the new arrival.

Looks great.:thumbsup:
Does your new one keep rolling after letting up on the go pedal?

 

[shadowshack]

How would I know? What would I look for?

I think there would be an instrumental panel with blighting lights that would look like something from the movie Close Encounters.

Less than 25hp shouldn't have the tier 4 stuff.

Yes, it does. Using reverse when the brake is awkward to reach worked well. But then I didn't get a lot of seat time to really judge for myself yet.

This isn't right, for an HST to keep going after let off. If enough of us around the country complain to the dealer that will notify Kubota Corp, they may make a fix for us.
This could become an issue that causes our series to be devalued in the future like the BXxx50 series which had a very short run time due to the abrupt stop in reverse issue that was never fixed till the BXxx60 series came out. The BXxx50 series resale/trade in value is less because of this for people that know.
