Heavier extension cord gauge good idea. However how about this for my 2 cents. Plug compressor in power at source. Get 100 ft 3/8 ID air hose. Get small air only tank. (Auto supply etc.) or heavy duty (like Hatachi) booster storage tank. Run 3/8 hose to secondary tank. Add manifold or tee to...

In 2009 I bought my BX25 with FEL and BH from local big dealer for $16,800... Back then on a whim Kubita had a promo for 1% APR. I applied and was shocked when approved. Did I really need a tractor for my ¾ acres? Probably not, but what a deal!! Always wanted one. A Revolving charge account for...

Have a BX25 about 9 years old and under 100 hrs. When I've had it I run around 1500-1900 rpms. Never heard of "regen". But pretty amusing reading some of the posts.... This is supposed to be for sharing info and fun right?

Well I know that there are a lot of forums out there and folks may be too busy to read em all so when I got no hits on my thread I just kept searching.... I am happy to share my experiences though. First make sure you get the RIGHT hose..... I wiggled the hose that was nicked and thought it was...

Found a small nick about 4 in from the dist bloc on the boom piston extender hose. Can get at the piston fitting but how the he## do you get at the fitting on the dist bloc? Do you have to take all the others off just to fit a flare wrench on the fitting in question? Kubota hose $34.00. Local...

I know that there are many knowledgeable folks out there so instead of a big story of the pro's and con's of bucket size, I would just like to put forth the following: An 8" bucket would be useful to me. Local dealer MSRP is 450 to order one. Do all Kubota dealers read the same MSRP book? Would...

We had a pretty good snowfall in SE Mass beginning of January (Thurs into Friday if I recall) My regular days off. My snowblower needed a carburetor, but I have my BX25 going on 4 years now still with under 200 hrs!!!!!. Been very reliable in winter. Covered up with battery warmer. Has always...

The scene: My BX25 in my backyard. Just had a heavy rainstorm. Kept outside,usually covered but not today. I'm 2 hours away camping. My son calls me and tells of the turn signals randomly flickering once in awhile. Asked him to check turn,flasher,headlight switches but nothing seems amiss. No...

Greetings all... Have read many threads on "alternative" air, oil, hyd, products to help save $ and perform adequately on the "toys" many of us have. I can understand using factory stuff under warranty, but out of warranty perhaps aftermarket would be useful and save money while being able to do...

Sadly last weekend I had the task of excavating a final resting place for our family dog of 12 years who was recently diagnosed with bone cancer. The 12 inch bucket performed admirably as I took my time for about an hour and a half at full depth. I'm sure its better at trenching but it did the...

After moving snow "several" times this winter I usually leave my BX25 outside and cover with a tarp. I've noticed after a few days the BH stabilizers are lowering by themselves sometimes. Not evenly or both at a time but this has happened frequently. Fluids are good. No apparent leaks and all...

Does anyone have a spec sheet or whatever relating to the Hyd pressure put out at any given RPM for the BX 25? And what would be relief spring pressure? Thanks.

Let me begin by saying I have looked at other threads/comments on BX block heaters. My BX 25 is kept under a tarp for now and have been able to start it after about 45 secs holding the glowplug light on. Have only used it 3-4 times to "rearrange " snow in my (gravel) drive way here in SE Mass...

My thinking is enough rpm's to get the job done, but would anyone have any opinions as to what would be acceptable? FEL operation or BH operation? Machine has not reached 50 hrs yet either, so I know I must take it easy for awhile longer. First diesel I've owned too. No info in Operators...
