    Advice on after sales FEL for an old BX2200 D (pre-2000 maybe)

    Finding a compatible FEL for a 20 year old machine might be a tough row to hoe as they were re-designed a few years later. (I own a BX22 which is the same machine as yours but issued with a FEL and BH..'had a BX2200 for a year or so before I traded for the BX22 and the extra utility) I see to...

    Need front tires for BX 2660

    Even with the evidence of dry rot, tubing them can let you continue using them for a bit longer if the tread is good. I'd never do this with an on-road vehicle, but for my Big Orange Power Tool (BX22) and my (other brand) ZTR, it's been a cost effective way to deal with this. The one time I did...

    If you do a Google search on that part number, you'll see who has it available and at what cost. The first result shows $650, for example.

    3-Point Hitch 2004 BX22 3PH won't raise, valve has no effect

    I'm not sure what to suggest about the 3PT not functioning...I have not had the BH off my BX22 for like a decade now. I would guess that something is blocked and not passing fluid to raise/lower. I will say that I did the shim modification and it made a "yuge" difference in FEL performance...

    I'm in shock... Kubota BX pricing

    I had the heavy 60" mower for my BX22 "back in the day" and quickly determined that it was a poor way to mow our property because of the need to remove the BH and FEL to use it and the need to remove the deck to use the FEL and BH appropriately and safely. (The BH is not an easy install/removal...

    Placement of doors in 40x60x14 workshop

    The bottom line for door placement is very dependent on how one is going to use the doors. My post frame workshop is a single 8x8 overhead door and since it's only used occasionally to bring in material, it's offset to a front corner where I can access it with my trailer. Folks using doors for...

    BX22 stops running when key is released

    When I had this issue a few years ago with my BX22, the fuses seemed good and tested good, but one wasn't. I don't know if the setup is the same between the first generation BX22 and your BX23, but the fuse that was the issue was not one in the fuse panel under the steering wheel, but one of the...

    A sad day on the farm

    I'm very sad to read about your loss. I just cannot imagine... Of source, I'd also like to reach through the Internet and slap your insurance agent up-side their head for not making sure you had replacement cost coverage on your property and structures. It sucks you're only able to get partial...

    Loader PLEASE HELP ME FIND A LA211 LOADER FOR MY BX22

    No issue on the repost...it happens. My advice is the same as in the previous thread and consistent with JWR above...if you want/need a loader, re-sell the BX2230 and buy a BX2xxx or BX2x that already has one. It's not something you'll likely find used/removed from a tractor and impossibly...

    Just bought a Kubota BX2230 and have some question

    Welcome to the BX family. Good machine and hopefully, you'll have the gremlins solved. My 20 year old BX-22 is still going strong for sure. For a quick attach, I have the Pat's system which I know this forum sent out an email about relative to a Black Friday discount within the last day. Top...

    How many hours on your BX2200?

    BX23 Steering fault

    Absolutely start with the cylinder up front, the cylinder mounts and also check for play in the tie rod assemblies. But don't rule out the steering hydraulic valve up under the dash. I did have to replace that about two years ago on my BX22. An aftermarket unit was slightly less expensive than...

    Tires for 2016 Kubota BX25D

    If you are planning on using your BX25D for working the ground, I'll suggest you stick with the R4s or Ag tires. Turf tires have very poor traction for that kind of activity...my original BX2200 with FEL had them and it was horrible. When I replaced it a year later with a BX22, I went with the...
