Tractor News Thanks for all the help! Kubota BX25 ordered!

[JOHNTHOMAS]

I think my hour meter is off on my new BX25! It says 10 hours on it already and I just got it a few days ago!!! Well, it's rained so usable only a few days ago. All I've done with it is used the BH which is fun. I've used the FEL on the BX2660 for FEL work. I'm convinced the hour meter is off or it had several hours on it when I got it and didn't notice, but I did have to refill it with fuel today. It's a mystery.

JT, You most likely just have been having so much fun you did not realize 10 hours had gone by! But you are right, it may have been on the BX25 when it arrived. The BX25 my dealer brought for a demo had .6 hours when it arrived and left with over one hour. The demo he planned to use was already sold so he showed me a new one. You will be ready for the 50 hour service soon!
I will have to work extra hard to catch up with you! :thumbsup:

It wasn't on it when it arrived. I'm just trying to help you pass those horrible hours till yours arrrives. Keep your mind distracted.

The BX25 is a great machine! 16 months/100 hours and all is still well here. Only thing I don't do with it is mow, as the R4s chew up my grass big time (hill). I'm now looking for a nice used, low hours BX1500 with turfs and mower, within a couple hundred miles of here. Anyway, best of luck with the new machine, it will serve you beyond expectation.

* That's what I was doing when I came across a new and a used BX1500 for a deal I couldn't refuse so I bought them both .

JT, After removing my snow cab & thrower from my Toro Wheel Horse (so it will be ready to go for service when my BX25 arrives ) I was examining our tractor (your pics) and noticed the FEL has a hook on the bucket. Is that standard on all BX25s or did your dealer add it at your request? I ordered the rear lights and canopy to allow more [seat time] work to be done on my wife's long request list. The Ky weather is such that these are not needed? :thumbsup:

I have Barlows add that to my FEL's. He may actually charge me for doing it one day. It is very handy to run a strap thru it for lifting.

Kayakin2 there are a few sites worth visiting while you wait for the new toy sorry I mean tool to arrive. One is www.BXpanded.com and they have some great attachments including a quick on hook for the bucket. there is also Bro-Tek but I am not sure of the actual link so I will not try it here. They make a great shid plate which I would highly recomend if you plan on going into any wooded or areas with brush. along with several other really neat attachments. But I am sure some of the others will chirp in some websites and must haves. Good Luck....the waiting sucks

Bro-Tek: Tractor Add Ons

I had my dealer weld two hooks at each top corner of the bucket, but if I were to do it again, I might get the BXpanded version since they come off. BXpanded offers a bucket doubler for light material, but my welded hooks are in the way of how it mounts.

Good news! My BX25 is scheduled to arrive this Friday! :thumbsup:
The attachments will follow quickly a week or so later!
Thanks for all the great suggestions! My complete set of Bro-tek add-ons are ordered to protect my BX25 and enhance my BH work opportunities! :thumbsup:
BXpanded hooks (2 grip, 1 slip) are also ordered. I stopped by the dealer today and picked up a few tractor supplies and a new chain saw to keep me busy until Friday. Might need to charge the camera batteries, too. :laughing:
