My BX25d ALWAYS starts in gear and has from day one brand new. Had a BX24 before that and it started in any position as well. This is news to me…

Thank you for the diagrams and reassurance. To listen to the salesman, you would think you needed major modifications and 6 hours to get this blower mounted…

The sales guy sent me the manual for the hitch and it has assembly instructions. I’ll bet it comes all apart in a box (or several)

Turns out they want to “assemble the quick hitch and subframe” on my dime as a service…they will gladly pick it up and return it for $160 too! I told them I will pick it up ASSEMBLED and on a pallet.

Who has one and what is needed for installing on my BX25d? Dealer in NH is all over the place on what mods are needed to tractor for this installation. From what I can see in the manuals, the parts that go on the tractor (bx2751 subframe) and (bx2753 mid PTO KIT) just hang on the frame with...

Did the BX FUEL FILTER relocation to the glass bowl filter (kit) and have to say it has been so nice using the BX in all the coldest conditions this winter without the stupid factory filter freezing up and causing heartburn when you need the BX most. Like they say...JUST DO IT! (If you are in a...

Just got the fuel filter replacement kit for my BX 25D. Never having seen or handled one of these filters before, it is pretty obvious how it works but it came with a spring inside the filter bowl. I assume it goes under the filter element to keep it up against the top? The filter element is...

After cleaning up after yesterdayｴ storm I was coming back up my driveway (steep hill, paved) in 2wd, to put my BXPanded plow back on and when I reached the top I went to turn 45 degrees to the right to line up the plow when I felt the front wheels were not responding fully to my turning the...

Loaded my Argo to go ice fishing and when I got to the lake one of the trailer ramps that store under the deck was gone. Trying to find out if this is a common occurance with this type of ramp storage. Nice trailer otherwise and will carry pretty much anything I have plus my BX5D with room to...

2nd time this winter. Finished plowing with one chain on rear. Think I will hang up the thrown chain and finish the winter with the one chain. Any harm in doing so?

Loaded tires on my BX25d have been fine for 4 years but today I went to put my chains on and found the tires almost deflated and the valve stems wont take air. I got the chains on and somehow forced air into the tires by putting my air blower attachment on my compressor line over the valve stem...

There must be a better way to attach the shaft from the mower to the PTO. Each Spring when I service my deck and attach it to the tractor it is a painful ritual until I can get the dang thing to connect. For one, the the collar that slips back never stays in the back position...each time I pull...

Seems like every winter right in the middle of snow removal my BX25D pulls this loss of power stalling out routine. I know it is usually the fuel filters icing up but jeepers cripes I use anti gel and diesel dry (more than recommend) And still every winter this happens. Is this common for these...

When you are going up or down hill with a heavy load and the tractor starts rolling backwards (in the case of uphill) or rolls forward in the case of downhill? Seems like being in 4wd eliminates this. Brake pedal seems to be ineffective as well when this happens...definitely causes a pucker...

Anyone done it? The do sell kits to do it yourself and I'm thinking about it for my asphalt driveway (the steep part) When I don't use my Honda tracked blower (small snowfalls or ice) which seems to be every storm this year...I simply push the snow around with my bucket. Trouble is, depending...

So...my BX25D has had the second block heater fail. Went out one frosty morning to heat her up and move some firewood. Plugged the ext cord into the pigtail on the BX then went into the garage to plug it into the outlet...pop! I hear the circuit breaker go on the other side of garage. Hmmm...try...

Had it at the dealer for tubes in the front tires and decided to do the whole hog service. Had the fluids and fuel filters changed and they went through it and serviced everything including cleaning up the radiator screen and replaced the air filter, torqued all bolts, lubed controls, washed and...

It was my one year anniversary present to myself...:D I will try to utilize it to scrape wild grass and weeds from areas around the house and deck so we can plant perennials, shrubs and then mulch the areas. Eventually, if I can get the tractor up my back woods trail (need to build a better...

Went to remove my backhoe today so I could mow with the BH and FEL off and after about an hour of trying, prying, banging and swearing I had to mow with the full regalia attached. Not that this is a problem but the BX25D rides much smoother without the bounciness of having the BH and FEL...

Read on here about many who think the ride on a BX is bumpy (myself included) Had also read about a simple inner tube "fix" to soften the ride a bit...well I had purchased a small donut inner tube for some reason years ago and just put it away in it's box. Yesterday, I re-mounted my 60" deck...

Took the BX25D out of the garage today and gave it a good Spring bath and greasing...all set for summer now. Next on the list is to get the 60" deck in shape for mowing...Come on Summer!

Got a call from the Kubota dealer and the service rep who took care of the ROPS' "Broken Weld" (see that post). His first words to me were "I screwed up!" He said that they had to order a brand new ROPS and wanted the serial number from mine. I'm guessing "mother" Kubota gave them **** for...

Recently had a factory, block heater installed while the BX was in for warranty work and it functioned great until yesterday when I had left it plugged in for a longer than usual time. Tractor started like the block heater never came on (typical cold start with the roughness and shuddering) My...

My BX25D's FEL joystick was getting sloppy so I took off the boot and the plastic housing and lo and behold, the nut that holds the joystick to the hydro linkage was missing. Based on the size of the bolt for the plastic housing and comparing that to the threaded part which is captive to the...

Getting ready for the next storm that is supposed to bring another 6-12 inches before changing to rain...was pushing my plowing windrows back to make room for more plowing and had done about 100 ft when the BX 25D engine started acting like she was starving for fuel and losing power. Tried a few...

Found one of my ROPS tightening knobs was not tightening...unscrewed it all the way and the threaded insert which was welded to the inside of the ROPS tube had come un-welded. Anyone have this happen? I know it's not a huge problem but now I have one side of the ROPS which can't be tightened by...

I see his website has changed and there is no longer anything Kubota-related there...I was just wondering if I missed something that may have happened either on the forums or otherwise. I enjoy his videos so much and was anticipating seeing his cool inventions for the BX's for sale. Not my...

My steep hill and upper landing between house/garage are being paved tomorrow. I was contemplating a plow for the BX25D and came across the Bxpanded 60" plow. Anyone have one or know if they are a good match for the BX25D? I plowed with my 4 wheeler all last year and between that, my 2 snow...

Thought I'd share a pic of my new garage and my BX's new shelter...the BX can go into the garage if needed but for now, sheltered from the weather is adequate.

My BX25D has filled rears and I have just begun to experiment with letting some air out to soften the hard ride of the seemingly over-inflated tires. I checked the pressure before and found them to be rather high at over 35 pounds...started releasing some air and settled on approx. 20-22 pounds...

I have owned the ripper tooth on a previous tractor but not the trencher option...anyone here ever used the Bro-tek trencher with the ripper? I am going to have to trench to my new garage for power and was wondering if this was the "ticket" for this task? The ripper tooth will always come in...

No problemo! Didn't have to remove the hood or anything else. Filters were reachable with my filter "tongs" I have new fuel filters but my filters looked good so I'll change them next time...I will check the HST screen next time the BH is off. Easy peasy!

Wondering if there's enough room to let a little air out for mowing? I have a bumpy lawn and the seat bottoms out under my hefty weight. Never had any experience with filled tires except knowing I have them...:D

Anyone doing this on their BX with MMM? I have removed my BH and FEL twice now and it seems to get more difficult to re-attach these each time. Of course the determining factor is that I have no paved area to do this on. I tried getting a couple of sheets of plywood to attach and detach, but...

Hey...brand new BX25D here...no problems with it but filled the tank today and was thinking of other things and left the cap off for a few hours...yup, you guessed it...rain shower came along. Anyone know what I can put in there to absorb the water? Not sure if dry gas would hurt diesel? Tank...

Turns out to be a major P.I.T.A. (if ya know what I mean... Zero instructions except an exploded diagram of the whole backhoe...have to search out the little bits and parts for the thumb and the parts needed are loose in a plastic bag. Altogether, too small of a diagram for these eyes to see...

Not sure if this came off of my BX25D as I found it nearby...anyone recognize it as an integral (or otherwise) Kubota part? That is a standard "post it" note for size comparison...

Decided to brave the cold and wind on this beautiful SUNNY day in New Hampshire's Lakes Region and get some seat time on the new BX25-D. I knew my (next season's) wood was buried out there somewhere so I decided to tunnel my way out to it and give Spring a little push... Accompanying me, is my...

If so, what implement is the correct tool for this task? I have a mowing account client that has a couple acres of field he would like mowed 1 or 2 times a season...It is fairly level and wide open...only a couple of brush "islands" here and there. Was wondering if the income from the mowing...

Was 20 miles from home and 3 miles from the nearest Kubota dealer when I noticed a trail of fluid on the ground where I was taking a few inches off an old deck base (1 inch stone). I had no tools with me and couldn't see where the fluid was coming from because of my Brotek skid plate (front and...

Tractor has 83.1 hours and has had the 50 hour service. What should this sell for to a private party. In 2005 we paid $16,000. I have it on Craigslist for $13.5k and have had some interest after just one day. Am I on the money as far as selling price? If you're wondering why this is for sale...

BX24 here...got a job where a guy wanted to plant a wall of arborvitae to use as a fence between him and a not so neat neighbor's backyard. He wanted a planting trench for his mature shrubs (12 arborvitaes 12' tall each). Had access to the trench from one side only (property line) and didn't...

Just got my Tooth bar and installed it today...Looks and fits great! And I also got my rear wheel spacers from BroTek and they are truly a work of art...going to install them and my front skid plate from BroTek when things dry up a bit out there...:D Yah, I know...my bucket looks too clean...I...

Got my Bro Tek parts last week (thumb, ripper tooth, skid plate) and found a few spare minutes today and went out and installed the thumb. Literally took less than 10 minutes. Had a brain fart about the little orange u-shaped thingy that comes with and didn't remember where the heck it went...

Got a little seat time today with the BX24 BH and FEL and was wondering what the ideal RPM's is for using these. I know the manual says run it about half throttle til it's broken in but am I hurting anything by actually digging and lifting at around 2400-2500 RPMs?? I didn't rev the engine to...

Just picked up my BX24 yesterday and took her off the trailer today...I know I'm going to learn much from this site...so hello to all and keep the BX threads coming!!
