More power would be a good thing especially when using high range but I have to wonder if something in the drive train would fail prematurely?

I must be missing something with the 2 speed/ 3 speed hydro? I test drove the CX and the CK and thought the 3 speed hydro was on the order of my old gear drive machine with 3 gear ranges with the lowest range pretty much never used.

Nice add ons are the telescopic 3 PT arms, linked pedal, block heater. Ultra nice add on is the cab. If you have any thoughts of needing a grapple or power angle snow blade in the future then also 3rd function. Love the R14 tires over the R4 tires

I was quoted just south of 1K at time of purchase.

I'm curious as to how you have a code when your machine doesn't use a computer to monitor the engine? Watching for responses as my CX uses the same engine.

I don't think you would have any problems with a 54" and you would cover the tires. Even if its tough going you could incrementally increase the depth with each pass. A 48 or 50 isn't going to cover your tracks. An offset able model would cover one track and limit you to tilling in one direction.

Just got done using a 48" offsetable tiller the CX just plays with it. If I were to get one of my own I'd go with a 54 or 60".

Oh definitely the CX, I have a Kubota BX23s and a Kioti CX2510, the CX just plain out works the BX. Ground engagement tasks both have enough engine but the CX has the weight. Loader work the CX has better capacity, lift height and speed. Pto tasks are somewhat even, however I use a 6' RMF on...

Gonna have to cover the tire tracks, offset 4' or a regular 5' should be fine for most soils with a CX.

Funny you bring that up as we have had 3 S Korean vehicles over the last 20 yrs. I find them to be a good value and don't even shop the big names anymore.

Did a similar thing, priced a Kubota 2601 open station with a loader, bought the same size Kioti with cab, air, heat, and loader for 2 k more.

When you have a backhoe you don't have to dig with the loader bucket. Also have a box blade with teeth. No need for a tooth bar here.

Nice machine, enjoy! I like my BX23S but in comparison the Kioti CX ( similar to the Kubota 01) is a beast.

To answer the questions, yes you can move further while digging a ditch without leaving the seat, simply shift the transmission into neutral once you get positioned and push yourself forward with the hoe. As far as swapping the hoe out, on a BX 23s takes very little time and effort to do...

Any chance since your blowing snow the gas cap vent is icing shut and or the air filter is icing up?
