    Rear remote on a BX22 ~ Part 2

    Yet Another BX22

    Thanks again to all the people of TBN. After looking at the discussions here and talking to my dealer, I decided to upgrade from a BX2200 to a BX22. I thought about going bigger, but my dealer suggested that the BX22 was a better fit. He strongly favors sub-frame mounts over 3-point mounts...

    I am trying to make a decision on purchasing one. I was wondering what you guys have paid for your machines. I live in Massachusetts and am wondering if it would be feasable to maybe travel up to New Hampshire to avoid the dreaded sales tax. Also which dealers in Mass have the best reputation. I...

    bx22 tlb

    The frame of the loader on my bx22 seems to be distorted in some way. When I lower the bucket, one corner contacts the floor and the other is about 1/2" off. I sent it in to have the dealer look at it, but they were unable to figure it out. They told me they would contact Kubota to find out...

    BX7500 vs BX22 - for educational purposes & fun!

    I am interested in comparisons between the BX22 and B7500. I have no desire for a war of which is best. As we all know, what works for each of us and what we are satisfied with is what counts. I own the BX22, but I am not partial in the sense that I have not used a B7500. Even if I had, it...
