New Kubota purchased from Okawville Equipment in Illinois

[628pm]

Well I purchased a new Kubota today. This is the 6th Kubota purchased from Okawville Equipment. Great dealer to work with, you work with the owners in making purchases.

Kubota I purchased was
Bx23s
landpride 3rd function
60 MMM with mulch kit
Thumb for Backhoe
16 inch bucket
turf tires
FEL level indicator

Traded in my bx2680 for this one. BX2680 was a good tractor but wanted the small backhoe again. This will be my wife's normal mower, I use a f2690 for my mowing. Took off the bucket and backhoe to get it ready to mow. The new 603 backhoe on the BX23s is so much easier to take off than the backhoe on the b2620 I had several tractors ago. Traded the B2620 in because I didn't like the mower on it. So I believe this one will be the "keeper" for me.

While I am in no class with JT on purchasing Kubota's I am very satisfied with the purchases I have made.

Thanks, I believe it will, it was 87 degrees the other day now it is 35 this morning so I won’t be out using it today.

Installed 2 inch wheel spacers today on the new Bx23s. I needed a thin socket to install the bolts. I purchased my spacers on amazon. Will see how they work.

Huge? Common choices are 12 and 16. We sold an 8 the other day but I bet it works poorly in our clay.

I had a 12 inch on my b2620 backhoe and did not like it. I will be ordering a ripper and quick connect from bxpanded in the near future. While i understand this backhoe isn’t for big jobs as you get older you will take any help you can get on projects.
