Just bought a new BX25

[Ka5lhq]

Greetings, Ladies and Gents! My first post here, though I've been lurking for the past 12-15 months. I致e learned a lot from reading the various forums on this site. Thanks!:thumbsup:
Just bought a new BX25 from Southwest AG in Colorado! I'd looked at John Deere, Massey Ferguson, and International Harvester. We have an IH dealer in town, but he would not give me the time of day when I asked about a Boomer.:thumbdown: The John Deere dealer was really proud of their 1 series, and I could not justify the extra 5-6 K. The closest Massy dealer is about 200 miles away, so that did not work. But I got a great deal from the Kubota dealer, and they are really nice to work with.
I have not used a tractor since I spent a summer working on a friend痴 dairy farm in Wisconsin, so I am sure I will be jumping in with lots of 渡ewbie questions! I will post some photos in the coming days and months.

Congrats ,the Bx series are great tractors, I know because I owned a BX23TLB and it was a workhorse. It did ever thing I need to do and although I now have a Grand L 3540 I do miss the tight spots the the BX could get into. Best of luck but don't believe you'll need it because they are built right. But hey where are the pics?

Welcome to TBN and congratulations on the new tractor.

I'm considering buying a new BX25. I had a BX22 when they came out and it was a fantastic machine but too small for the acreage I had back there. Now I live in a neighborhood with a 4 acre lot and I sure could use the BX25. Give us a ballpark price you got?

I'm going to wait until the VA STATE FAIR in a few weeks and talk to the Kubota dealer that shows up there every year. I think it is Cavalier International. Good luck!

Congratulations on your new toy! You will love the BX25!

I'd be interested in hearing some ballpark numbers as well.

I'm waiting for the truck to arrive with the new orange toy / tool! as for price, the base unit was priced at $17, 900. Buying the unit in Colorado, ment I did not have to pay any sales tax. I also got free delivery (55 miles away), and the zero % for 60 months. They also took $500 off (a new discount from Kubota, just announced last week) and I got a killer deal on a 5 ft. blade. All in all, a great deal, compaired to other brands I looked at.

Photos - Can't take them until I have the toy / tool in the yard! But I promise, I'll post them ASAP. But just to whet your whistle, here is a little clue about the tractor - it's orange!:cool2:

Thanks! Good luck with your new machine!

Again congrats on a great machine. Standard warning for new bx owners though - get extra protection for the hydro fan in the form of some sort of belly pan. Cheap fan but expensive fix when a stick goes through it. Lets see the pics!

I just bought a BX25. Dealer located in SW PA. $16,800 out the door.

Congrats & welcome TBN.
I bought my BX25 in 2009 for $17,000. Great little tractor.
I agree with RTII, get belly pan for protection.
The best thing I have added is a Bro-Tek thumb on backhoe. You'd be suprised what you can move with thumb.

Congrats!!! Check your front axle fluid as many TBN members will agree that the BX front axles are usually low on fluid from the dealer/factory.

Slight correction. They start showing low after being driven for a few hours. They are usually showing at the correct level from the dealer unless they have been operated some at the dealer before delivery. Check when you receive any BX and then check again after a few hours of operation.

Congrats, I think the BX25 is a sweet little tractor. Would love to have one some day.

A new BX25 arrived today. I walked around it twice then went in the house for a moment. It didn't take long, now if I can only get
my son out of the seat. The floor mat already tore. Any suggestion's?

Buy a gallon of Bedliner from an auto parts store and paint it on the flor and other wear areas. That's what several owners have done.

Congrats! I got one too, about the same price, just rolled over a 100 hours...

Run a Google search for BX-25 accessories, you can find some nice goodies for new tool/toy! Just remember it's not that big, it will do the job but it will just take you longer to get it done than if you had bought a bigger model. Slow and steady...
