Kubota BX25 Reviews
First Month With The New BX-25
Model Year: 2012
I'm very impressed with what I can get done with the compact little BX-25. In less the 50 hours I've done a lot of the jobs around the property I thought would take me all summer. I even threw in a 50x50 garden that my wife wanted. The loader and backhoe are setup just right for max lift/digging for the size of the tractor. I bought a Land Pride tiller RTR0550 and Kubota B2789 snow blower. The tiller works excellent; the blower I haven't used yet.
Pros: Everything works like it should.
Cons: Too efficient, I'm done too fast and have to do real work.

BX25
Model Year: 2012
I only have 16 hrs. on it so far as I got it for my property in Oregon and I live in Alaska so after I got it I only got to play on it for two days before I had to head north. I get to play with it for three weeks this month so I will get back soon.
Pros: Has done everything I have asked it to.
Cons: None to date.

BX25
Model Year: 2012
This BX25 replaces an old Yanmar and is well worth the money. Being a novice, it took a few hours to become reasonably proficient with the backhoe, but once mastered, it can do a tremendous amount of work with little effort. The machine works so well that its tempting to take on jobs that are bigger than it was made for. The BH is fine for general digging but digging stumps is a bit like emptying a swimming pool with a coffee cup. Takes a while but gets the job done eventually. The FEL has good capacity and lifting power. One-finger steering and general maneuverability is great. My biggest complaint is it doesn't have any place to carry tools. In fact, there is really no place to mount a toolbox except perhaps a tiny one on the back of the seat. Changing the seat from driving to backhoe position is a bit awkward but serves the purpose. I have not yet tried to remove either the FEL or the BH so I cant comment on that.
Pros: Easy to operate, good value, strong, hard worker.
Cons: No toolbox or place to mount one, reversing seat is a bit awkward.

BX25 All-Around Mini Excavator
Model Year: 2012
It has the heart of a lion: agile and quick to respond. In my 55yrs. of operating different kinds and sizes of industrial equipment, this one gets five stars. It will handle any task put to it around a small property.
Pros: Kubota diesel engine; Ground stance; 4x4 drive; Operator room.
Cons: Seat for operator is reversable---sometimes irritating.

BX25 Bought Used, 20 hrs
Model Year: 2010
I'm an absolute newbie in the tractor world. Learning as I go. We just bought 8.5 acres with 2 ponds and plan on building a log home within the next 12 months. I was told so many times that I would need a tractor so I went out and bought one. Got a good deal on a Kubota BX25 with 20 hrs on it, and it now has 40 hrs. So my experience with it is limited. But so far I'm liking what I've got. Everything works, I think. I'm still learning what all those knobs are for. I've mostly had fun with the backhoe digging up willow trees around the ponds. Moved some dirt with the FEL to fill in some holes and to pile up the willows for burning. Spread some gravel. All in all, it's doing everything I expected it to do. If I had it to do over again I wouldn't hesitate. Also, I just bought a slightly used New Holland 918L Flail mower and mounted it to the BX. That was quite a job (had to cut the drive shafts and all), but considering that a week ago I had never heard of a flail mower I'd say it went without a hitch (pardon the pun). I've mowed a strip about 100' long in my side yard and it looks like it was cut with my usual finish mower. The BX seems to be able to power that mower without strain, but tomorrow when I get to the wilderness and try it on some waist high brush, we'll see. Sorry I couldn't get more technical with this review but it's coming from someone who is very new to the world of tractors.
Pros: Fun, power enough for what I need, wife says it's "cute".
Cons: Strains up a hill in high gear.

Love Orange
Model Year: 2010
I love my Kubota. The loader and backhoe are just right for homeowner projects and the tractor has plenty of power for most tasks. Have a Land Pride 50 inch tiller that operates perfectly with the BX 25.
Pros: Quality of the Tractor. Power for a subcompact. Comfort/easy of use.
Cons: Price.

Kubota BX25
Model Year: 2011
Great little tractor for the price. I looked and looked and finally decided on the BX25 with several implements/attachments WOW what a little work horse for the small acreage farmer or homeowner. Get some BRO-TEK skid plates for the under side and BRO-TEK rear wheel spacers for a wider rear tire profile and you have yourself a little tank. I'm very happy with this tractor choice and would recommend the Kubota BX25 to anyone looking for a tractor in this size range. Plus Kubota has the 0 down 0% interest for up to 60 months.
Pros: User friendly, strong engine, very compact, loader/backhoe combo, 4WD.
Cons: Tippy with load in front bucket raised maybe to high, so be careful. I bought BRO-TEK 2" wheel spacers and added to rear wheels for a wider profile seems to be big improvement. HST cooling fan and HST filter both are to exposed, bought BRO-Tek skid plates and covered up the underside.

My BX25 Review
Model Year: 2011
The only issues I have had with the BX25 is with the tires. I have the industrial tires on mine. I was prepping a site so I could have a garage built last fall. While doing the excavation work I couldn't keep my front tires from going flat. Spent a lot of time at the dealer and at the tire repair company. I literally had to have each front tire repaired 5 times each. With the exception of my experience with the front tires, I totally love this tractor! The horsepower is matched very well to the tractors size. The FEL and backhoe are excellent! I plan on buying some attachments this year and will let you know how they are. Had it not been for the tire issue, and the dealer run around on it, my rating would have been 5 stars all across the board.
Pros: Horsepower, handling, very good tractor in this size.
Cons: Tires need to be looked at, spent over 2 weeks trying to get front tires to stay inflated... dealer not much help.

BX25 Purchased New Dec 2011
Model Year: 2011
Performs perfectly, no oil leaks, digs well once back hoe controls mastered, FEL is easy to use, steers well, agile versatile and best of all fun. This is more than tractor it is away of life!
Pros: Economical on fuel oil and maintenance I reckon.
Cons: 4.4 meters long so need purpose built trailer to move sites.

Kubota BX25 - 500 Hour Review
Model Year: 2008
What a great little tractor - could not ask for much more. It made it to the 500 hr mark without any problems at all. Well, except for a punctured lower radiator hose and broken tail light lens. Both were my fault of course - trying to be a bit too aggressive in some heavy brush clearing. The little 'Bota has been fantastic and trouble-free. Projects completed: Dug a 16x25x4 swimming pond - cleared a lotta brush with a Landpride Cutter and a Wallenstein BX42 Chipper - Box Blade for road and trail leveling and contouring - Mowing and hauling logs etc etc. The BX has never let me down and since I do my own routine maint., it has never been back to the dealer. My property is predominantly pine forest with sandy soil which is why I wanted a small tractor---to get in between all the trees easily. About the only problem I run into is lack of traction at times. Because the baby is relatively lite weight I get some tire spin especially when the ground is real dry (all this summer!), but I can live with that. Oh and whenever I'm working out by the highway I'll usually have to stop and talk with an inquisitive person about "My Baby 'Bota" - I can live with that too!
Pros: Very strong for such a compact package. Very well built. Dependable.
Cons: Limited traction in sand. No storage spaces for tools etc.

Our Little Orange Friend
Model Year: 2010
The title sums it up. There's almost nothing we've asked this little guy to do that it's flat out refused to tackle. Yes, often the job is "too big" but after all, it's a pretty small tractor for some jobs and even at that, the BX25 will most often tackle the job anyway and get it done one way or another. Our BX25 came complete with FEL and BH as they all do. We also bought a Kubota B2789 snowblower. The snowblower is good but could use a couple of design improvements. Soon after picking up the BX25 we got a Land Pride Quick Hitch QH15, Land Pride 3 Point Hitch Roto Tiller RTR0550, Land Pride 3 Point Hitch Box Scraper BB0548 and a Land Pride 3 Point Hitch Landscape Rake LR1560. I've not used the box scraper much as it does not seem to be suited to our soil conditions very well. The rake is good but it really needs the leveling wheel kit to make t nice job. I absolutely love the tiller and I use it regularly both for the garden and to break up the ground for landscaping. Overall we love the BX25. There are no "deal breaker" negative things to say about it.
Pros: Powerful, versatile, compact, easy to operate.
Cons: Steering wheel is low for taller operators, my shoulders get sore after a couple of hours on the unit. 3pt hitch control is way too low on the control panel, it's almost impossible to operate the control while looking back at the implement. A toolbox would be a huge bonus, there's nowhere to carry anything but a water bottle.

A Great Little Tractor
Model Year: 2010
This is my 2nd compact tractor. My 1st was a BX 1850, I wanted a model with a backhoe, so traded and got the BX25 and am more than satisfied with this tractor.
Pros: Easy to operate.
Cons: None that I find.

BX 25 My 5th Kubota
Model Year: 2010
I downsized from my 2007 B3030 TLB which had replaced my B7800 TLB from a few years previous. All the "big" jobs were done but I still needed something to plant shrubs, dig out a few smaller stumps, move my docks in and out each season, and plow snow. I purchased the tractor at R S Osgood and Sons in East Dixfield, Maine. Not the closest dealer to me, but the one that retained a family owned feel and were willing to stay a few hours late on a Saturday to accommodate my schedule. They also although coincidental, had the best price! They are a great dealer, I can't say enough about them! The tractor is (almost) all that I expected from Kubota. Plenty of power. The long backhoe control levers allow very good feathering and smooth operation and everything run from the tractor's live hydraulics are all positive. I have added two hydraulic valves for remote front and rear outlets. Have a 6' bucket mounted, power angle snow plow, a 3 point hitch rake, box blade and subsoiler as well. Of course it starts easily in the coldest weather we have (0 F) and runs well. The R4 tires perform well too. I have only two complaints. The "lift - spin - and - latch" system for the seat is poor! It's awkward to use, parts of the latch are light weight sheet metal stampings (read 'bendable'), requires you to step off the tractor, and just poorly designed. On top of all that, Kubota did away with the drain hole in the seat which was a great feature! If you're going to be changing back and forth from backhoe to loader a lot, it's really a pain! The other complaint is tire leaks. Each tire periodically goes soft. I don't know why and it isn't always the same tire! I now check the pressures before I use it!
Pros: Overall great performance or a small tractor!
Cons: Terrible reversible seat design!

BX25
Model Year: 2010
I have had my BX25 for about a year and a half and I am very satisfied with the tractor overall. I previously owned a BX1800 and had it for about 10 years. I was so pleased with that tractor that I didn't even consider another brand of subcompact. I wanted to upgrade for the increased horsepower and the backhoe attachment. I use my tractor for anything from mowing the lawn to skidding logs out of the woods (I have a Wallenstein skidding winch). I also have a snowblower attachment and of course the front loader that comes with the BX25 package. There are a couple things that I liked better about the old configuration. One is the pedal that locks the differential. The old one was at the front of the left floor panel. The new one is directly under the left side of the seat. It is a very awkward position to get to. I also don't see a lot of difference in power from my old 18hp. The BX25 is 23hp...maybe you wouldn't know that small of an increase but I thought I would. The mower deck also does not go on and off as quickly as the BX1800. There are many things that I like. The backhoe is something that I always wanted and this one is plenty powerful enough for the things I do around my property. I like the new hydraulic connections on this tractor. The quality and dependability is still high and the overall comfort of the tractor is great.
Pros: Value, reliability, comfort, attachments, quality.
Cons: Differential lock pedal position; Mower deck removal and attach.

Kubota BX25 Review
Model Year: 2011
These are first impressions as you can tell from the hours used and it is in in comparison to a 1951 Ford 8N that I have been using for 30+ years. On the whole, the price was reasonable. I was considering a Kioti also. If there had been a Kioti dealer near, I might well have bought one. For the money, you can get more tractor from Kioti. However, that said, I think this Kubota is a reasonably priced and well-designed little tractor. I purchased the BX25 as a TBL and also bought a rear snowblower. I have used it to dig out spruce, fir and birch stumps. The backhoe will do the job but you must accept that this is a small tractor and has modest breakout capability. You need to snap roots well away from the stump before you try to loosen and hook out the stump. WRT the bucket, it works well to scoop loose sand and gravel that is piled up. One issue here--the front end of the tractor is so light that even in float mode, the front tires tend to lose ground contact and steering is lost. The snowblower does the job and has plenty of power. Please be advised that you may find that your neck is't happy after about 45 minutes of looking over your shoulder as you back up to blow the snow. Unless you buy a cab (expensive), plan to eat a lot of snow from what is being blown around by the blower and the wind. The three point hitch lift control is very coarse and it is difficult to do fine adjustments in height with it. My 60 year old Ford is much better in this category. I will withhold final judgement on this tractor until I can put a lot more hours in and see how durable and reliable it is.
Pros: Well-built, seems sturdy, lots of implements and add-ons available.
Cons: Light front end, coarse control on height adjustment on three-point hitch, no rear work lights standard.

BX25
Model Year: 2010
Great little tractor. Amazed by how much this little tractor does. The only bad thing I could say about the tractor is it can get stuck in the mud a little easy with the R4 tires. Other then that small issue I would recommend the tractor to anyone. I have had no problems with it.
Pros: Reliable well made tractor.
Cons: Because of its small size it does have small limitations, but that is to be expected.

2011 Kubota BX-25
Model Year: 2011
What a great machine. For my first project, I dug out a several huge oak stumps that took about 8 hours, in order to learn the backhoe. One was so big, I could not lift it, but instead cut a ramp down into the 6' deep hole and basically pushed and rolled it out, to get it to my pile in the woods. This machine really punches above its weight class. My 13-year-old already uses it like a champ, and my 11-year-old is learning fast. So easy to use. We are constantly finding new uses for it. While my wife initially thought it would not be worth the cost (compared to hiring folks to do our work when needed) she quickly saw the value as we tame our property. Lots of tree take-downs, then we use the backhoe-with-thumb to easily cut up the tree, and from-end loader to bring everything to the wood pile. (8 cords this fall.) Spring project will be fencing, so we will get an auger when we are ready. I cannot say enough to praise this machine. If you have a use for such a tool, add this one to your toolbox.
Pros: Compact size, ease of use, reliability.
Cons: None.

What a great machine. For my first project, I dug out a several huge oak stumps that took about 8 hours, in order to learn the backhoe. One was so big, I could not lift it, but instead cut a ramp down into the 6' deep hole and basically pushed and rolled it out, to get it to my pile in the woods.
