I'm going to sell my BX22 with loader/backhoe/60" Kubota midmount mower (plus attachments once the tractor goes). I'm trying to get an idea on what a fair asking price for this unit would be that has under 200 hours in residential use and has always been garaged. Any ideas from those of you...

Great price on this! I have one that I use on my Kubota BX22 and can highly recommend it. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=46566&item=3816631410&rd=1 -Duane

I installed a set of Hella Brand Fog Lights on my ROPS for my BX22 over the winter, mainly to assist in after-dark snow removal where the stock headlamps were blocked by the FEL. I had occasion to mow the yard this week and it was after sunset, and I was just amazed at how much light I could...

Here's something interesting that's happening...back in March 2002 when I bought my Kubota brand new I was price shopping like any good shopper does. Actually, I was pretty much squeezing a coupla dealers out of the LAST NICKEL and it cam down to a Maryland dealer who could deliver to bike to...

I've got all the supplies to make that BX22 Backhoe Dolley in the garage, and "Bernie" took it off his website that I had bookmarked. Guess the original post was about 6 months ago? I suppose I could scratch-build it, but the photos and concept were good (and why re-invent the wheel?) so if...

When I bought my BX22, I chose turf tires over the standard bar ones. Mistake. Every time I get in the mud, or want to push with the FEL engaged on damp ground, the turfs slick up and spin. Got the tractor stuck this weekend cleaning out a creek that had damned up! So I called around today...

I searched long and hard for the right match of a chipper to my BX22, one that would get the job done and be as inexpensive as possible (we all's like to keep ours money, eh?). I'd read on all the tractor lists about how you really 'needed' to have a hydraulic feed otherwise you'll be busted up...

As I'm approching my first winter with the BX22, I'm curious if any of you can shed some light on any snow removal techniques on the driveway using the Front End Loader. I'm also a bit hesitant to use it on my 2-year old blacktop driveway as I'm concerned it may gouge the asphalt. Is this an...

I've got an area of property adjacent to my lawn that is best described as a "fire road". There's a fuel pipeline easement about 25' wide, and it was bushhogged regularly prior to developing the area for residential use. This is part of my land, but I cannot plant trees on it, etc. due to the...

I was carrying heavy loads of compost and topsoil in the FEL of my BX22 today and came hugely close to rolling the tractor. I did have the ROPS bolted up, and my seat belt on. My yard has a downhill slope and I was varying my path with the loads so as to not rut the yard, and on one occasion...

Was at Byrd Tractor today in Manassas, VA and they have a shiny new BX22 with bar tires and 12" BH bucket that is not spoken for. $ 16,500 includes a 60" midmount Kubota deck and a 48" tootbar for the loader as well (get the tootbar, you'll be glad you did). They will ship, too. Good folks to...

I installed a rear work light mounted off the ROPS, and <gasp> drilled two holes at the top of the bar to mount a light and get wire access. The Kubo Safety Police will no doubt be looking for me, but since it was at the top of the bar in the middle of the frame, I'm confident the bar will not...

Just took delivery of my new BX22 this morning and several asked for photos of the 46" Toothbar (detachable) that I ordered with it. Figured I'd get photos of it before I went out and got it dirty <g>. Cost? About $ 300.00 from Byrd Tractor in Manassas, VA. Leave it on all the time except...
