Taking delivery on the BX25

With a new tractor, is it advisable to stick a magnet near the drain hole on the oil pan? I've heard of some Subaru enthusiasts do it to collect filings, rather than have them circulate around.

All the BX's come with a filter screen with magnet inside in addition to the HST fluid filter so you're covered for any larger filings that make there way into the tank. It's on the left, lower side of the HST and you can pull it and clean it out during your scheduled fluid changes.

Don't forget the Kubota hat, and a spare key. The delivery person should spend quite a bit of time going over the operation of the tractor, and how to remove the BH, etc. Read the manual, it gives a lot of info. You are going to love your BX25, they are great little machines.

if you get the "OIL FILTER OPTION" shouldnt be a problem

Every BX I've ever seen came standard with all filters .
When did Kubota start makeing them optional.

I'm guessing there was some sarcasm behind that one.

Plus isn't the block aluminium? So a magnet wouldn't catch much. Trying to remember what was in my screen (bx-23) this spring on hyd oil change. Sure didn't look like cast will tap it next time 2 see.
