kubota bx22

Well this is one CLEAN BX22. It only took me about 1.25 hours to do the following: 1) Clean and buffed at 1800 RPM's with ZERO water 2) Clayed with Magic Clay Fine (blue) compound & proper lube 3) Applied Zymol Estate Glaze and hand buffed with Microfiber Towels...

Like many owners of the BX22, I wanted to put a cab on for the winter. Looking at the three or four companies that were listed on various posts (Sims, Curtis, Lauren & Jodale?) I decided that the curtis cab would be the easiest to modify. So last weekend I went to my local dealer and purchased...

I have just found a 1'' gash in my left front tire on my bx22. I assume this happened when trying to dig out my ditch to prevent my road from washing out on Saturday (I was not entirely successfull). Is it reasonable that this could be patched, or is a new tire in oreder. The gash is on the...

I decided that Kubota engineers didn't have a clue as to what they were doing in the design of the rear remotes for the BX 22/23 tractors, so I decided that it was time to redesign the system as sold by Kubota. The Kubota kit # "BX7323 Hose Kit for all BX series Tractors with Front Loaders...

I had previously posted about this and here is a link to the thread. if you would like to know what originally transpired. Today, I finally got around to installing the Kubota rear remotes. To say the least, the instructions were poor. Mounting the valve was the easy part. Once I got the...

Does anyone know what the working pressures are in a BX22 hydraulic system. I am in need of a cylinder for a project and the one that I have found is a 1500 PSI one. Don't want to blow it apart if the BX has a higher output. I have tried to find a cylinder that is rated for 2500 PSI, but they...

I checked the coolant in my bx22 today and it was low. I was wondering what kind everyone recommends. I live in central GA so it doesnt get too cold here plus the tractor is housed in my basement... Thanks Niles

Ok 3 part post... I have the 60 inch midmountmower on my bx22 I put it back on today and first off broke the stupid level changing knob trying to turn it. Someone should make those out of steel. Then I tried to lower the little mounting arms and they would not come down. I had to push...

Recently, whenever I put a little strain the tractor or any implement, the tractor whines. I presume this has something to do with the HST as the engine sounds the same whatever I do. Seems to have started doing this after my 50 hour maintenenance. Has gotten alot worse since then (60 hours...

Opened my hood to change oil for the 100 hour service and noticed that the metal strap holding my air filter was broken at the mounting. After removing the strap and deciding it was designed poorly for its purpose I decided to replace it with something stronger and a little more flexible. I...

I have a problem with the landscape rake taking too deep a bit even with the wheels lowered as far as they can go. I was using it with the top link at its shortest distance, which allowed the rake to raise quite high. I then lengthen the top link and this allowed the rake to take a shallower...

I have a bx22 and I am wondering if there is any attachment that I can use to mow my pond banks they are too steep to mow with the underbelly mower. Also there is a drainage ditch that I need to mow the sides of. Anyone got any attachment ideas or should I look into a seperate walk behind kind...

Have chance to pick up the 54in MMM for the BX22, good used condition, for $1000. Believe new ones sell for $1600. Wondering if you guys think this is a reasonable price. TIA.

I am still trying to find a cab to fit the BX 22 and so far, I have only located one manufacturer. Laurin in Canada. Winter is coming and I know that it is going to be another cold one, so protection is definitely going to be needed.... thanks.... Laurin Cabs.......

With apologies to Jim Becker, I still can’t seem to locate the aux connectors for hooking up a work light. After digging, and picking away at the electrical tape and corrugated plastic wire-harness shield, and generally making a mess of things (see attached pic), I still uncovered no connectors...

Can you guys get an 8'deep trench dug with the BT600? I know the brochure says you can get a 2' horizontal bottom at 6' deep, but I need to get down to 8' for a septic test pit, and don't want a 24" wide x 8' deep trench dug by a bigger machine, for safety reasons. My neighbor has a 9" bucket...

Been looking for a used midmount mower for my BX22 without much success, 54in preferred. Anybody have one FS or suggest where to look?

Hi all, I have a query which I don't seem to be able to resolve through a site search. I have a BX22, which I couldn't be much happier with, with one exception... I got the front-mount snowthrower with it and have noticed the loader valve, which stays with the loader when dismounted, must be...

Just a picture of the BX and the trailer set-up.

I bought a set of turf tires for my BX22 when I added a MMM. I used them last year, but when putting them on this year realized the hubs were not sitting flat against the axle. The center holes, which go on a fit, were not round but had a flat spot about 1 1/2 inches long on one side. I...

owning-ML-431004-ML- Moved to Kubota Owning/Operating forum at poster's request.

I thought that after I purchased and planted the 3 trees last month that I would be finished planting trees for a while. My wife had other ideas and now wants me to plant trees all along the driveway. This presents a major problem, because the hill behind the driveway is covered with a lot of...

I've been working with my dealer on pricing of various Kubota models. I was surprised at the time he had a leftover BX22 and I asked him price. He gave me a price of 16K which included the BX22, turf tires and 60" MMM. Well 2 weeks have passed and he calls me out of the blue and says he will...

I was thinking of trading my BX22 in on a B2910 with the 72in mid mower and FEL and my dealer came back with only $12500 trade in on my BX. The BX has the 60in mid mower and I also have a 60in Kubota power angle snow blade for it. For all of this I figured $12500 was extremely low considering...

The original strap broke within the first two weeks I had the tractor. Replaced the original with the so called heavy duty kit and figured that would be the end of that problem. Heard something rattling under the hood last evening and when I opened the hood, discovered that the heavier strap...

How quickly do the 3 major items, the backhoe, loader and mid-mount mower attach and detach?

There is a ticking sound coming from the transmission on my BX22 when the tractor is idling. I have noticed this both when it is in gear and not. Everything seems to work fine, with the exception of the fact that sometimes it is difficult to get it out of low range into high or high range into...

Some people have asked me to post pictures of the landscape rake when I go around to mounting it. After some long procrastination, I hooked it up today and gave it a try. Since I also have a York Branded landscape rake, I have a reference point as to the use. The York is easier to turn than...

A while back, another TBN'er (GSXR1100) posted some pics and info on a dolly he built for his BX22 backhoe. Here's a side view of my version.

What brand and size tiller for my bx22 do you guys out there think i should get, i'am most interested in quality and proper fit . thinking maybe a woods or landpride, any comments are appreciated

Does Kubota make a FEL indicator (rod, tube, etc) for a BX22 or any BX? I just would like to install one if made.

I've been following the BX22 and now BX23 discussions but haven't heard much about the unique way that Kubota quick attaches the backhoe to the frame. I'm used to seeing a full subframe attached backhoe and was curious if BX22 owners that work out their backhoes on a regular basis can see any...

Kubota\'s Rear Hyd. Remote Kit for BX22? Hi, Has anyone here added Kubota's rear hudraulic remote kit and valve to their BX22 or 2200? I know the hose kit needed depends on if you have a loader or not but I'm wondering what type of valve is included in the kit. Single or dual spool. Or do...

I went to my local kubota dealer and told him that I was interested in getting a chipper for my tractor. My salesman told me he would love to sell me a chipper , but he didn't think the bx22 would handle the Bear Cat model 70554. The chipper weighs 450 lbs and the pto requirement is 13 -40 hp...

I bought the used BX22 that was on the classifieds. I got it home and now I need to do the 100 hr service. I know the 50 service was done correctly including the hydro change. What all does the 100 hr entail?? Will it be something that I can tackle myself?? This is my first tractor so I am...

I am looking at a bx22 but I am unsure if it is a 2002 or 2003 is there an easy way to tell the difference?? Thanks Niles

I am planning to buy the bx22 that is listed in the classifieds. Here are my questions. I posted and saw that from the other forum I need at least a 6x12 dual axle trailer. I have access to a truck set up for trailer brakes but no trailer. Is there a company that rents such trailers?? Also...

I am thinking about buying a bx22/23 but it would be a decent distance from my home and I would like a way to transport it home so I didnt have to wait for delivery. What size trailer do I need?? Would a 5x9 work? or do i need a bigger pne like 6x12?? thanks

Hello everyone. I've been lurking in the shadows for a few weeks absorbing your superb wisdom & knowledge. I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed learning. Still looking for "The One," but narrowing it down a bit. Hopefully soon! While checking the Kubota auctions on eBay, I came across a...

How long is the customary warranty included with the tractor??? Thanks

So, the other day I went to my Deere dealer to get a new tire for my 345. The thing with the 345 is, it get stuck a lot. So, I started thinking: what about a 4WD? He priced out one (I forget which) and the price was around C $16K (about US $12K) with a 60" deck. Then I made the fatal mistake of...

I seem to remember that there is a mailorder place for the filters and lube to do the 50 hour service. Dang'ed if I can find it. I know I can get the filters from TractorSmart. Since I'm in the opposite corner of the country from them would I be better off finding the fluids locally? Any...

Has anyone tried using a Bush Hog SQ480 Rotary cutter along with a BX22? This is only a 4'' cutter, but exceeds the Max weight that Kubota recommends for the bx22. I believe that it weighs 440Lbs. If anyone has used this combo or other similar 4" cutters with the bx22 I would like to hear your...

My next door neighbor, Fire Chief of a nearby large city, has been over inspecting my BX22 for several months. One day recently a big flat bed shows up with 3 Kubotas, 2 new BX22s and a slightly used B7400 w/MMM. Attached picture is the rig with the BX22s, the B7400 had already rolled off 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...

I was a bit intimidated by the L48 at first. However, after a few hours I got fairly comfortable. Can't believe the strength of the loader.

My BH drops slowly even when the engine is running almost full throttle. The BH has a great deal of power and I use it alot. The BH has done this from the first time I used it. I would estimate it drops an inch every 10 minutes or so, with the engine running. I would like to know if this...

Hi All - I havent been around for a while and now need some advice. I bought my BX22 last Feb. in NJ and it looks like i now need to sell it. I was hopeing someone could help me determine what a fair resell price would be. It is a BX22 TLB with 4/way valve, 60 inch mower w/mulch kit, bolt on...

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...

Just a heads up for anyone looking for a loader mounted snowblade for the BX22 or other BX series. Kasco is making a 60 inch blade with or without power angle that mounts to the loader arms. I called them and the way it was explained to me is that the bucket is removed and this blade is mounted...

Wow! What a deal! Here's the link. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3564062644&category=1042

Had a delivery to my house last night about 6:00 pm. While backing out of the driveway, the back wheel of the truck went in to the ditch and no amount of rocking, wood under the wheels, etc. allowed him to drive it out. I brought the BX22 up and the driver attached a 20 foot chain to the frame...

Just when I thought I had this operation down to a science, I tried to go a little too fast. When lowering the boom to pivot the BH up and lock it into the upper mounts, I kinked or restricted the flow of the return line from the BH to the tractor by pinching it between the BH and tractor...

Picked up my new Woods chipper today and spent the afternoon using it, no pictures yet. This thing can really chew up the wood. Using it mainly to clear up a lot of brush on my lot so probably not working it very hard yet. I decided to go with a unit with a 5 inch capability knowing that I'll...

I have narrowed it down two either the BX22 or CK20....any thoughts on the benefits of the Hydrostatic transmission vs Manual? The BX22 only comes with the HST but the CK20 comes with either.

BX22 and 72\" Rear Blade Is a 72" rear blade that weighs 275 lbs too much for a BX22?

If my loader is full of spoil,I have to keep recurling the loader or after about 20 mins I may lose the spoil.Has anybody had this problem,where is the fluid bypassing,the 4way valve?This can't be normal.This thing will also leak down without a load fairly quickly,I know some leak down is...

I have been reading all I can about the hydraulic top link and I have decided that I want one for my BX 22, however the more that I read, the more I get confussed. I found this thread and it seems quite concise and shows the correct top link cylinder. I know that the BX 22 does have the...

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...

Anybody ever figure out where/how to mount a toolbox on the BX22? I thought about using hooks to hang one somehow on the grill guard, but that didn't seem too practical. We really need to put our TBN'r heads together on this one!

BX22 \"HST\" indicator light When I was hooking up some work lights a while back, I used one of the red wires under the seat (not the factory one for aux. lights) to power a cigarette lighter socket. I wired the neutral to the frame by attaching to a bolt that held a hydro line bracket for the...

I'm having problems with air in the bucket tilt cylinder on my 22. Dealer says its normal. Could you try this for me? With the tractor at about 1/3 throttle, curl the bucket up, then back down and hold till the air is purged, then back up and then down. Grab the lip of the bucket and see if you...

Okay guys. Great board. I have spent a few days (and nights) reading the massive amount of information from past to present. I have three acres in the NW. well drained and flat with undergrowth and some cedar trees. I have roughly two years to design/create the landscape prior to building. I...

was super easy to install, the tail light wires are push together type under the fender, I just pulled them apart inserted the wire and pushed back together, no toggle though, I like all the lights on together

I know there have been discussions of this before. The issue seems to be that standard post hole diggers are too long to fit on the BX22 [or 2200] without some modification. Does anyone know of a reasonable phd that will work on my BX22 without having to modify it? Thanks.

Will I need a block heater for my BX22 this winter in Mid-Michigan? It will be inside an unheated pole barn.

Last night while looking under my tractor as to what may be causing the sluggish pedal return I noticed that there is a Damper connected to the Hst pedal. All the other linkages moved freely so I'm wondering if this may be the culprit causing the sluggish return. Has anyone checked this damper...

Does anybody have any info on aftermarket mulching blades for the BX22 60" MMM? I'm looking for something with a two-piece design where there's a lift blade topped by a mulching blade. Thanks!

Ok all you other BX owners. Here is a question and I am sure you will just shake your head and laugh but, here it goes. Keep in mine I am Polish if that helps. I have a BX22 and want some better headlights. Does anyone know or know anyone that has installed H.I.D on there tractor? HID stands...

First of all, I'd like to thank everybody for all the posts on this topic. They were extremely helpful. Now, here's a pic of my new flood lights on my new BX22.

While reading other posts, I came across this. Was wondering if it could be adapted to the bucket on a BX22? Has anyone ever seen one on a BX or possibly made one for their tractor?????? thanks manufacturers web page

Has anyone purchased a 60inch power angle front snow blade for their BX? Just wondered if it was worth the $$$ and time to invest in one. I already have the 4 way valve on my BX22 So it would cost me around $1500 for the blade and subframe. It seems to me it may be useful but I like to get...

After listening to all the good advice and getting a chance to kick the tires of dmartin88's, I ordered a BX22. After what seemed like a long wait (but was only 6 weeks) it showed up. I actaully got it over a week ago, but "who want to play on the computer when you have a new tractor and nice...

I have been reading all that I can on the various forums about the BX series tractor and now I am in a quandry as to whether the price the dealer is giving me on a new BX22 is the "right" price or not. He has agreed to fill the rear tires and weld on some bucket hooks in the deal. The...

I was looking for some advice about adding a tiny tach to my BX22. Would anybody know the model number of the tiny tach that works with the BX? I think it is the DTT model that I need. More importantly, does anybody know what size transducer is needed for the BX22 or what size the injector...

This is my first attempt to post a pic, so bear with me everybody.

I have a bx22 that I purchaced in june 13, 03. My yard and drive way is pretty steep. when I set my emergency brake on the hill with the loader and backhoe attached the brake won't hold the tractor it starts rolling back. Also when I have gone up my steep hill in high gear and the tractor stops...

Does anybody have the rim specs for the BX22? I'm trying to scare up another set o' wheels on the cheap. Ideally, I need the lug pattern\dimensions for both back and front. Also, I know the back tires are 26x12.00-12 and the fronts are 18x8.50-8, but what do those numbers mean? Thanks!

BX22 Won\'t Reverse Had the 50 hour service completed on my BX22 yesterday, used the tractor for about 10 minutes after it was completed. Started it up today and can't get in to reverse. Feels a bit like the speed control pedal may have slipped a bit but forward works fine. I've left a message...

Just finished my first welding project with my new Miller175, toothbar for my BX22. Welded the shanks to 3/8in steel plate. The shanks have a lip which fits over/below the front edge of FEL. The teeth were a press fit on the shanks. Got the shanks and teeth from local Kubota dealer...

I have some questions about the use of the 60" MMM with the BX22.... 1. What are the 'rules' for using the mower with the FEL and backhoe attached to the machine? 2. What are the 'rules' for using the FEL with the mower attached? 3. What are the 'rules' for using the backhoe with the mower...

"Groovy belt baby" as Austin Powers would say..... But seriously I took my mower off my BX22 today to just clean it up and grease it and such and I noticed that the back side of the belt had a groove started in it. It looks to be rubbing where the pulley cover mount on both sides. Is this a...

Top \'n\' tilt for BX22 Sorry if this has already been posted (I searched TBN last night for a few hours) but is it possible to put a top 'n' tilt on the BX22? If so, can I use the hydro remotes? I realize I'd have to put a valve on it. What about warranty concerns? I read on Carver...

I am just about to begin my 50 hr. service on my BX22. It looks like the oil filter will be hard to access. Anybody have any tips or the best tool?

There is a BX22 at Davis Equipment Company in Ashland, KY.

Hi fellas, I have my BX22 listed in the classifieds. I have had a few inquiries but lower offers than I would expect. Here is the following classified. Am I asking too much? These machines are very hard to come by. Thanks for your time. 2003 BX22 has only 83 hours on it, comes with...

Bee\'s versus my BX22! About 10 am this morning, was expanding a path through the woods on our property. Used the loader to move a rotting tree that had fallen on it's own. It snapped in two while moving it and bee's that were nesting in the trunk poured out. I was stung about 5 times, ouch...

My BX22 with 13 hours on it is suddenly losing power. Going up a small hill with only my rear mower attached and it will barely creep over the top and I get some black smoke as well (which stops as soon as I let off the pedal). Only did that twice before I shut her down. Checked a couple of...

After lurking, reading, and going back and forth to various dealers I finally decided on the BX22. At the beginning of June I ordered a BX22 and put in my time waiting for delivery. It arrived at the end of June and I've got 18 hours on it so far. Words cannot describe how impressed I am by...

Price of BX22 with 60\" Belly Mower I'm in the market for a BX22 with a 60" mid mount mower. My local dealer has offerd me one out the door with a 16,600 price tag. Does this seem like a reasonable price? I have been following some of the other posts and realize these rigs seem to be in high...

I was using my BX22 today & it got stuck in low range & I can't get it out. I tried pressing on the brake for several seconds, like the Manual says, but that didn't work. So, of course, when I shut it off, I cannot start it again while it is in gear. I only have 39 hours on the machine...

Since I don't have my toy er, uh.. tractor yet, I was wonderin' -- does the backhoe have a PTO driven hydro pump, or does it operate from remotes off of the tractor's hydraulics? Would it be possible for a current BX22 owner to post a pic or two of this setup? I'm tryin' to think of other...

I have found something that the BX22 just cannot do. I hit into some decomposed granite that the BX22 backhoe can't cut. I got most the the way as you can see from the pictures. The last 30 feet is just too hard. I'll get something bigger and make it go away. As you can see from the claw marks...

I now have 7 (blissful) hours on my BX22 and I noticed that when the FEL is lowered from the raised position, the lever "locks" into place. If pushed forward gently (to lower the FEL) it will spring back to the neutral position when released, but, if the lever is pushed past what feels like a...

Bx22\'s, wherefore art thou? Just got approved by Kubota credit and the dealer (southwest Ohio) told me they're probably not gonna get any BX22's until the end of August??!! Any ideas? BTW, thanks to all the seasoned tractorin' folk for the great advice -- I don't see how anyone can make a...

I'm in the market for a rear blade for my BX22. I'm not sure what would be the best size for my unit. I'm thinking of going with the 6 footer. What's the opinion of those of you who have rear blades? Thanks in advance for your help. Bill

Any BX22\'s in Harrisburg, PA Does anyone have a BX22 in the surrounding area of Harrisburg PA. I have narrowed my search down to a couple of Tractors, but as you all know, noone has the BX22 in stock. I would really like to see one and sit on one to see if I fit. (6'1" and a spare tire...

Had my new BX22 for a few days... wow! They're in very short supply and my dealer got what seems to be the last available machine in these parts. I am confused about the loader valve. I had asked for the 4-way valve but dealer told me he couldn't get one with it, so I settled for what he...

Old guys welcome the young lion to the fold.

After looking at my options I decided to go the expense of having my tires filled with Arnco Superflex Softfill. Someone over in the Owning/ Operating forum had mentioned he had his tires done with this and was pleased. Great stuff.... I did not notice much of a difference in the ride when...

Trying to decide on the right tractor is killing me!! I had a 2001 B7500 when I lived in the country 2 years ago, so I am very familiar with that machine. But the price on a BX22, is so tempting that I can't figure out which one to buy!! I will mostly be doing finish mowing about 1.5-2 acres...

My new BX22 has made it to the dealer, waiting for final prep + MMM. (They did let me take the manuals home, wish I could have the whole thing!) Maybe Friday..... UncleAl

I am buying a property with 10 acres and am going to need some kind of compact tractor. I want a FEL, mower and brush cutter at a minimum. I would like a backhoe. I'm thinking about the BX22 since it comes with both a FEL, 60" MMM and a BH for a street price of around $16000. Is there anything...

I've been lurking here for some time, and trying to absorb all the information I've found here....... think I'm ready to make the move I just told the Kubota dealer that I would take a very slightly used BX22. ( 84 hours 13k with fel, and bh) I have a little less than an acre of "rough mowing"...

Does anyone have experience pulling and dumping mulch, compost, dirt etc. I want to get a small 5x8 dump trailer to move dirt, mulch & compost around my 5 acres. It is not level and that is what has me concerned with a dump trailer. I am using a FlexPoint hitch to pull trailers around the...

I have a small oil leak in the rear of the tractor. The color of the oil is green, but I'm not sure if this varies by dealers who may or may not put it in upon arrival from the factory. It seems to be on the left side if facing the rear of the tractor and has gathered on the inside wall of...

If you don't make any other changes to your BX22, this is a must. It makes your 3 point adjustments a breeze. The parts are ordered from a B2710. Detailed instructions are in another thread. I used Walt's guidance and it was not a big job to modify the parts to fit. There are a couple ways to...

Well I picked up my machine today and took it back to work. I never thouhgt the work day would end!!!! Anyway I got to spend a couple hours working and playing with it. I used the BH to dig out the buried lid on my solids tank of the septic system, and the FEL to haul away the spoil. I will...

I finally got my bx22 06Jun03 I have put about 8 hours on it I like it a lot it seems like a really solid well ballanced little tractor. Daivd

I am trying to figure out if the loader of a BX22 would clear the side boards of my truck. Does anyone have a measurement of the max height the loader can go and still have the bucket tip to dump the load?

My wife caught me learning to use this backhoe. It digs through California sunbaked clay and DG so far. I got some planting done this morning that I would never attempt with a shovel. I dug down about 2 feet and filled the hole with compost and topsoil. Should grow good Bouganvilla bushes.

I live in hilly and rocky New Hampshire. I have a part grass/landscaped (2 acres) and part wooded lot. In the summer we have someone cut and collect the grass (unreliable). In the fall we use a backpack blower to gather LOTS of leaves which we then must tarp and truck off which we would prefer...

These pictures show one good reason to buy locally. My dealer spent 3 hours in the 90 degree heat setting up and showing me how to use my new toy (tool). thanks Henry

Hey everyone just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced the two things I did today with my BX I turned the ignition switch on today and the left rear signal light stayed on steady along with the indicator on the dash. It would go off sometimes after starting but then come back on a few...

Looking to purchase a rotary mower for my BX22. Main use will be mowing a 1 acre "meadow" once or twice per year and to create/maintain some paths through the woods on our property (4 acres). Looking at the Rhino SE42, figure the smaller size is appropriate for the horsepower of the BX22 but...

Howdy. Been reading for a few months and finally have a question that hasn't been asked yet. Does anyone know of a dealer in the north east that HAS a bx22 in stock. My local dealer says he might be able to get one for me bay the end of june. Not definite. I'd like to get one before the great...

Is it possable to place a RC72-27B or some other 72 " MMM on a BX22 ?? Doug

Just thought I'd post that Emerich emailed us the other day and new BX22 is being shipped I should see it in a week? (Hopefully) Can't wait to play arn't we all kids at heart. Thanks for the other replies about Emerich I will let all those know when and how it arrives. Hope they fuel it up on...

Received my new BX22 on Thursday, did my first serious work today, planted 8 trees. Boy this thing can dig! Heavy, wet clay, and rocks didn't cause a problem, just had to remember to give it plenty of throttle to keep the rpm's up and it was a lot of fun. This was my first experience using a...

Well, I'm up to 17+ hours on the BX22 - - got it April 25. So far I've mowed approximately 3 acres, some of it quite wooded. Can't say how pleased I am with the 60" MMM - - it is as manuverable as my Sears Kenmore, & cut my mowing time by more than half. And the finished pasture & yard looked...

I ordered my bx22 with the optional four spool valve on the joystick loader controls. My dealer called me up and said that there wern't any available at this time. He said if I wandte a bx22 tractor I had better take the one they had in stock with the three spool valve, or I could wait until...

I need s little BH work done and was at the rental place. They have a BX22 with BH and FEL that rents for 150/day. Never having runa BH before, my question is how difficult would the BX be to operate for a novice. Thanks for any input

Hello, I have just registered as a member of this site, but I have been frequenting the site for some time. I am considering purchasing the BX 22, but I have a number of questions I would like to ask in order to help me make up my mind. 1) As far as mid mount mowers go I'm leaning toward the...

To all, At times I consider upgrading my older gear drive B7100 to a BX22 or BX2200, with finish mowing being the primary task. I have a B2150 HSD with FEL for larger tasks. A Kubota brand backhoe for my B2150 is more than $7000, while for less than $7000 you can add a backhoe and FEL to the...

I'm thinking on getting either of these machines, equipped with the hoe. What are the differences? Is this size machine really too small to dig a septic tank, or do light dirt work to prep for a foundation? Your insights are appreciated!

Hey guys, I was inquiring to see if anybody has one on a small sub-cut? It weighs 550lbs so weight shouldn't be a problem. I was wondering if I could use the backhoe hydraulics to run the power angle and hydraulic up and down of the scarifiers. My buddy has a pro-6 on his L3010 and it...

Hi guys. I need some help. When I finish using the tractor, I release the hyd pressure in the loader by moving the stick back-and-forth a few times. Now for the backhoe I just lower the bucket to the ground. Up until now the stabilizer arms stayed fully up. Today one of the arms tends to...

I have decided that the BX22 is exactly what I need, but I would like to know if there are any reliability concerns. What has been your costliest repair? How often have you had a problem that required dealer service? Thx.

Has anyone mounted a 12V winch on the front of their BX22? I was thinking about using one of the Superwinch ATV models. I move a lot of small logs I cut for firewood in some pretty wet areas and I thought a winch might come in handy. Dave...

<font color="blue"> </font> Ordered a new BX22 from the Kubota dealer nearest me here in Northern Virginia over a month ago. Have seen concerns about this dealer in other threads. Haven't gotten the courtesy of a returned call once, every time we've spoken I've made the call. Can't get a...

I'm close to purchasing a BX22, working out final details. getting Bar Tires Dealer told me Calcium Chloride will add approx. 180 lb per rear tire. He said if tires are filled 3/4 full rims will not rust. Not getting the MMM right away. when we do. 1) with the BX weighing in at 1520lb...

O.K. I'm getting a BX22, I found a great dealer. (I hope) two questions my friends. 1. is the alternator upgrade really necessary, dealer said he has installed lights for customers without a problem, and doesn't see need for Alt. upgrade. 2. should I get the rear tires loaded with calcium...

Does anybody know if Kubota is considering making a do everything tlb bigger than the BX22? Yes I know about the B21, L35 and L45. I looked real hard at the B21 but the loader doesn't come off <font color="yellow"> </font> . At least not very easily. The L35 is too big. Kubota has the...

I read in another post that Russ1 has an LA402 loader with a BobTach attachemnt. I believe this allows you to interchange forks, spear, bucket. I wonder if it would work on LA210 loader, or is it too light?

I made the plunge and ordered a BX22 with tiller and Box Scraper. I need a brush hog. What are you all using on the BX22? Thanks again for your wealth of knowledge.

I was a little surprised that my new BX22 did not have a tach. In the few hours I've spent playing with the FEL & box scaper, it's pretty clear that you need adequate rpm to do various tasks. And if it isn't wound up enough, it just plain says 'no'. Do any other BX models have tachs? Guess...

I hope I'm doing this right. Sorry to ask so many questions, but I'm getting close to "pulling the trigger" (purchase I mean) How is the backhoe of the bx22 powered. Does it have it's own pump? I have read many times that it is very capable! But if it does not have it's own pump, is that not...

I am interested in purchasing a bx2200 or BX22. Kubota uses the D905-E-BX engine. On the specifications it shows that to achieve 540 PTO RPM it is running at 3068 RPM. That seems to me pretty high. If I have to run this little engine at 3000+ RPM to get work done. How long will engine last...

Hi Folks, My BX22 arrived yesterday evening and I spent until dark playing, I mean working.... Never ran a hoe before so I've got some learning to do. One thing I have noticed so far is that the trottle lever on this machine works a lot harder than on the two BX2200's that I have used. Is...

I am still looking at tractors and reading TBN. Are the small Kubota tractors better built than the New Holland? My dealer is the New Holland and Kubota dealer. I have looked at the BX22 at his place. He does not stock anything as small in the New Holland line. I asked about the TC21 or TC24 and...

BX22 on order (w/ Walco 51\" snowblower?) Well - I did it. I too have been reading much of the content on this discussion board related to the BX22 and other tractors. I have decided to enter the tractor market and order a BX22. Thanks for all your information. It sounds like a great little...

I just bot a BX22 and have been watching all the local landscape artists driving by oogling it. Down here I have learned to keep my hand on my wallet until I get know someone and since I have to let it sit out until I get a garage built I'm wondering what is the best way to keep it from...

I’m in the market for a tractor and have decided on a Kubota BX22 or a B7500 with a MMM. The primary reason for the tractor is mowing 41/2 acres and homeowner landscaping projects. I am leaning more toward the BX22, however, I would appreciate any input on which tractor to purchase and also...

I'm considering buying a bx22, I've decided on the high output alt. block heater and toothbar. But I think I read that someone put a 4 way valve on theirs. What is it? I assume it's for the loader. I have never owned a tractor. What does a 4 way valve do? Thanks to anyone who replies.

Hi everyone! I've been lurking for about three weeks now ... soaking up all the good information here. I just purchased a BX22 from Booth Machinery in Crawfordsville Indiana yesterday. The base BX22 TLB was $14,798. I also got the 40 amp alternator for $165, a woods 40" tiller for $1,529, a...

Well I bit the bullet. Put my deposit down today on a new BX22. My dealer was very helpfull since I am new to the tractor community. We have 4 acres and I have lots of jobs to justify this, at least thats what I told my wife. I got the FEL, BH, front toothbar, bar tires, hooks on front bucket...

Ok guys am I crazy or what? I set up my mower deck so it is all level and it mows pretty good. But i noticed if I set all of the deck wheels at the exact same notch the right front deck wheel sits lower than the rest of them. So i checked the deck again to see if there was something out of whack...

I am going to be fencing off 2 acres this summer. I don't like renting. My back likes hydraulics. The BX22 with a 3ph Post hole digger sounds like the ticket. My concern is since the 22 sits low to the ground (relatively speaking), how deep a hole can I dig? will a 36" bit drag in the ground...

I have been considering purchasing a BX22, in my search I have run across the MF GC2310. My dealer said it should hit dealers in August 03. The GC2310 is a GC2300 with a BH aimed at the BX22. The Massey GC2300 looks good on paper. Any opinions out there? I have found the BX22 makes HP 22...

Well after having my BX22 TBL with mower for 20 hours I have found the following things I like and dislike. Again these are thing that are great and can be improved. LIKES 1. I like the fast loader speed 2. The backhoe is GREAT! 3. Tractor is built like a tank 4. Very easy to do 95% of...

I just took delivery on my BX22 (54” MMM, HST) on 4/10/2003 and have logged about 10.5 hours of use. I love this machine and don’t know what I did without it. Remove 3 stumps, mowed back yard (1.5 acres), filled in some low spots in the yard, and just messed around. I do have a few questions...

I've been snooping around TBN for a couple of years now, & I'm finally making my first steps towards the big purchase. From what I read, the BX22 looks like a solid little machine, & versitile. I've checked the three closest dealers & get about $1k spread in what I want: 54" mower + box...

Hello, Tractorbynet. I'm a long time listener, first time caller. I've been a lurker for over a year, and now I'm seriously considering picking up a BX22. In order to haul it, I'll probably get a landscape style trailer (so I can use it for other things as well) and fortify the mesh gate to...

I looked at a BX22 on saturday and got to play around on it for a while. The one thing I question is the strength of the backhoe. While I was digging holes it did not have much force going into the ground, the bucket curl was good. Another thing, after I had the holes dug I went to push the dirt...

I was digging footers for a workshop I'm building today when all of a sudden hydraulic fluid started spraying. Thought I had a split hose, but upon closer inspection fluid was leaking from the right angle fitting that screws into the boom cylinder. I took it apart and put new thread sealer on...

Howdy folks. Been reading the forum for about a month now and am getting close to buying my 1st tractor. I have a Gravely for the lawn and snow plowing, but think its time to move up for the other jobs. Anywho... My local dealer has given me a price of 15,500 for the BX22 with the loader...

Looking a trailers to transport a BX22. Looking at a 10' trailer single axel, 3500 LBS capacity with a tilt bed. With a 10' trailer would need to raise the FEL to get on trailer. The dealer says they transport them this way. I'm conerned about the FEL raised and how much weight might be...

Do you leave the mower on while doing FEL or Hoe work? Do you leave the FEL on when you mow? Trying to figure out how much of a hassle it will be to switch back and forth from FEL duties to mowing duties frequently. Maybe I should keep my JD 318 for mowing and skip the MMM on the Kubota I...

Bought a great piece of property with 4.5 acres but one problem, it is in a flood plain. The previous owner spent big bucks which keeps the creek from flooding the place but this made a pool for standing water. I will be digging alot of ditches, YEEHAW. I will attempt at putting some pics of...

Hi guys: I just purchased a BX22 with mower for my yard and some contract work (90% backhoe work), and parents yard. Does anyone have any suggestions for the rubber feet? They cost like $200 through Kubota/dealer I think that is NUTS for $5 worth of rubber! The tractor is just like many past...

I have been looking at buying a tractor for some time, putting it off more times than once, coal shovel starting to get old now though. I really don't know alot about tractors, but this forum has helped tremendously. Thanks to Everybody. I have looked at bx22 $15650 with belly mower. John deer...

I am close to buying a BX22 for mowing, maintaining my gravel driveway, snow removal, and light loader work. I am planning on the BX22 with loader and hoe, back blade, 4 position valve on front, grill guard, 60"MMM, and turf tires. Also tooth bar and hooks for the loader, a hook on the hoe...

Well after reading on TBN for a few days I went ahead and purchased a BX22 with a 54" MMM. I take delivery on it tomorrow (4/10/2003). I do have a few questions... 1. Is there anything I should pay attention to (machine related) in the first hours of operation? 2. The price of the pads for...

I'm thinking I should have gotten the BX 22 instead of the BX2200. We've hired an excavator to do various things and its getting expensive. But we have very hard clay, not very far down. Can a BX22 dig into that easily? Can someone give me a comparison between a BX22, mini excavators (that I...

Howdy all! I'm new to this forum and to the tractor world generally, but this site kicks butt. This is my inaugural "help!" post: I've spent roughly a month now looking at the front runners in the sub compact and compact market and have begun to look more closely at the BX22. The main...

I love this forum. I have been reading for the past few days and y'all helped me make a valuable choice. I had been dealing for years with Cub Cadet but I fell in love with the BX2200 when I saw it. I had almost bought the BX2200 when I saw on this forum that I couldn't put a BH on it. My...

I have one word for this little animal Awesome!! Gary from Emerich Sales and Service delivered it yesterday. I would like to recommend Emerichs to anybody interested in buying a Kubota. I dealt with Jim Crane and Kevin Emerich, they answered any questions I had and made the whole buying process...

Well boys; I bought the BX22 and it will be here tomorrow and I can't wait! After reading all the posts on the net I bought it!!!!

My new grille came in today for the 2200. It was not what I was expecting. It is the orange/plain grille that is available for the 2200. In my mind I thought it would be a black grille with BX cut into it. The dealer said that was only available on the 22 and there was no part # for it, not...

Ok guys, I have been out here for about 2 years reading and understanding tractors, loaders, mowers, etc. I was thinking of getting a BX22 TLB with 54 inch mower but I had some questions: 1) is the loader pretty good? (weight, capacity) 2) Is the backhoe worth the money (for digging, power...

Hi, New to forum. Got a price quote from my local dealer in Purcellville, VA or $16,000 for BX22 TLB with 60" Belly Mower. This includes assembly, delivery and familiarization. Tractor includes turf tires with fluid in rears. Is this a good deal? Thanks for your insite.

I was cleaning up some of my ATV trails and got the 'Bota stuck. My Jeep Cherokee with an open front diff but a lock rear woudln't budge it. I guess I need get rid of my BFG All Terrains and invest in some Mud Terrains . My brother in law came over with his Dodge 1500 and some 10" of lift...

What won\'t the BX22 do for me? New poster, soon to be (I hope) a new tractor owner. Still trying to decide what I need. The BX22 looks like a good place to start, but my friends tell me I am going to want more horespower than it provides. So what types of attachments & activites would I be...

Mowing time with BX22 60\" MMM Recently purchased 5 acres and building a home (4 acres mowable 1 acre woods). Wife recommended I buy tractor with FEL and BH. 99% sure it is going to be a BX 22 with 60" MMM. Does any one use one of these mowers? What quality of cut do you get? How long would...

I went out to put some tools away in my building today and noticed a leak under my FEL It was coming from the Bucket center cylinder top fitting ...the one with the curved pipe end. It had come loose. Anyone else had this??? Is there a way to keep this from loosening up all the time? Teflon...

I continue to be impressed with this little machine. I started some of my proposed excavation this afternoon and remembered to take some pics. This area is very rocky and the BX is doing just fine. As others have said, it will do alot of work but you just have to remember to do it a bit...

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...

Just wanted to thank everyone at TBN for all the usefull info. I have been "lurking" for over a year and found all the great discussions very helpfull in making my final tractor choice. My BX was delivered last week and I couldnt be happier. Although I only have about 4 hours on it so far (2...

Hi everyone! Well after several weeks of looking at different models. I ended up with a purchase of a Kubota BX22. A sweet little machine I must say! I looked at several models JD 2210 and a used 4100 and a few of the new 4000 Ten Series. Also a few NH Boomers. The price and size of the BX just...

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...

Wanted to do my 50 hour service today since its raining (and not snowing here for once).... During my pre-work parts check I found I have the correct oils and the correct hydro filter. My question is about the engine oil filter... The one the dealer gave me is P/N: 70000-15241. The one I see...

I'm seriously considering trading my BX2200 in on a shiny new BX22. My dealer has two of them sitting on the lot and gave me a price of 14,500. He wouldn't even give me a ballpark on trade-in value without seeing it, so he will be dropping by next week some time to check it out. Has anyone...

This is my first post on this forum and I want to thank all the contributors for all the great advice and ideas. I bought my BX22 this Fall thanks to the comments on tractorbynet. I have attached some photos of a bolt-on class III receiver hitch implementation for the BX22 bucket. I got the idea...

I tried the classifieds thing but no one could come up with any money so I figured I'd try the Ebay route. Hopefully it will sell there! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1924560264&ssPageName=ADME:B:LC:US:1

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...

Noticed the rears tires were spinning without the fronts...looked underneath and there's the front driveshaft just hanging down form the front differential. The universal joint that connects it to the center driveshaft (foward of the bearing) is missing. How difficult is this to replace? What...

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...

Hello everyone. Well the subject says it all. I'm considering selling my BX22 and I was wondering what would be a fair price to ask for it. It has 78 hours on it and most of that time has been cutting grass with the 60" MMM. I also have a 48" Howse bushhog and a 5' light duty rear blade that...

anyone out there that can give me advice on what I should get for a snow blower. live in NH in an area that usually gets a lot of snow. It seems like I've seen a lot of posts for rear mounted blowers vs the front unit. what are the pros and cons for each, what are different models are out there...

I think this little tractor RULES!!! Used it for 2 days now (mostley back-hoe) WoW what it will do! Looks like a toy, works like a big tractor!

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...

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...
