If you could what would you change

[Kubota-guy1911]

On my BX I'd like real oil pressure, water temperature, and voltmeter gauges like the old Steward Warner type. I would also like a relative height indicator on the mower deck. I have several locations in my yard where I would like to raise the cutting height about an inch or so and it's difficult to judge. My old 1572 Cub Cadet has a height indicator that works great. I second the parking break indicator.

Some indication that the brake is set (light or beeper) so I don't drive away with the brake set. Also the tilt steering wheel lock lever (on B3030) mounted a little higher up so I don't unintentionally hit it with my foot during operation.

Absolutely right about the parking brake. Brake set indicator would be nice.

L2800/3400 - A more robust PTO engagement mechanism. Drop the flimsy cable and give me a solid linkage.

I second this idea also....Jim

built in seat warmer

We don't need no stinkin' seat warmers here, but I can understand them for up north.

Here, we could use a lighter colored seat. Black is just too hot, especially with shorts.

Yellow wouldn't be right... maybe a very light orange.


Oh, and rear view mirrors.

Some great ideas! I'd like a waterproof tool box, some way to bring tools and a weedwhacker without using the FEL, and a little tray or cubby on the dash for cell phones or misc, Stuff. Other than that, I'm good!

put hooks on the ROPS and you can place your weedwhacker on there . Put the hooks on an angle so it won't protrude out too much on the sides. Just remember it's on there while driving.

Amen on the park brake Indicator. I find myself forgetting to release the park brake at times. I am sure that is not good on the tractor.

Oh heck, let it protrude....and keep it running. Let it trim on the run

Reduce the pucker factor on the B3030 with the option to have the rear wheels at a wider stance.

And yes, vertical exhaust pipe.

Otherwise, a great machine.

Why the desire for a vertical exhaust? To me, after bending the vertical exhaust on my M4700 on low branches, I think the below engine exhaust is an improvement.
