Putting in a 300' sewer line right after I got the tractor

I just saw that Kubota introduced the new BX-80 line of tractors. They say the loader and backhoe can be changed without getting off the tractor....no pins no problems??? I went to their web site but they still have the old BX line up there. I really want to see how this new mounting system...

I run this GME 18P chipper that will easily do 4" material with my BX25. I have had no problems with it bogging down.

Been a long time and I stumbled on this old post. I bought a used GME 18P chipper that works great except on conifers which tend to clog it up due to the tacky nature of the wood and needles. I would like to find a source for parts if possible

Here is the DR ripper on my BX25. The existing pins are not long enough, but the unit will work fine with 6" pins in place.

I have been looking at a King Kutter 48" tiller for the BX25 and they make a XB and a TG in the 48" width. They say for a sub-compact tractor that I need to go with the XB Limited CAT 1 unit, but it looks like some folks on here are using the regular CAT 1 units on their BX with no problems. I...

I was about to pull the trigger on the WoodMax when i saw a remark about making sure your tractor will lift it. I checked the weight and it is 950lbs and that was more than listed for my BX25 so I went looking again and found a used chipper on C/L . Only a 4" but the throat is much wider so...

Finally snapped a picture of the new (old) chipper. It was kept in a greenhouse so there is a fair amount of surface rust, but it was used very little and works like a charm.

I was looking at wood chippers for my BX25 and thought I was going to get one of those Chinese units brand new. I was about to pull the trigger when I noticed a word of advise about checking to see if your tractor would lift it. I never thought about that. The weight of these things was 950lbs...

I have been looking at getting a wood chipper for the BX and I know I am on the low side of HP for these guys, but now I am looking at the weight of the units. Most decent chippers seem to be around 950 pounds and if I read it correctly the BX only lifts 670lbs with the 3 point. Has anybody...

Breaking in the BX25 with a 300 ft trench for a new sewer line.

OK I have had my BX25 for a little over a year and have not installed the 3 point hitch kit that I bought to go with it. I still have not purchased that tiller for the thing. My question is....do you have to remove any of the hitch kit to put the backhoe back on? I am a little confused on that...

The dipstick on my BX is different than the one it shows in the owners manual. I find it strange that they would change it this much and not mention it. My ZT Mower has a Bota 3 cylinder diesel and it is more like the one in the manual. There are 2 holes about two inches apart and it seems like...

I was cutting grass and needed to raise the front bucket to clear a fence and it would not go up. All other functions of the loaded worked but up. I pulled off the screen panel so I could see the linkage and when I did a nut fell out. I saw one of the threaded shafts at the linkage rods was...

My biggest project was to hook up to sewers that were put in down along my creek. The line was 300 ft from my house so it was a great way to learn the back-hoe.
