kubota bx22

My Virginia lawn has been destroyed by the drought we had this summer, so I've been rennovating it this fall first by using an Overseeder attached to a rental L-3000 series Kubota (my BX was too small to run the Overseeder) and then I wanted to follow up with aerating the 2 acres or so I have of...

Ok, calling all BX-22 owners. I am looking at purchasing a BX22 with the front mount snowblower and have a couple questions. 1) It looks like there are a seperate set of removable pins on right side of the LA210 loader so that you can remove the loader easily without removing the control...

Use #445 for a backhoe :) It was my sons birthday party yesterday and the theme was "bob the builder" . The kids used a plastic bat so they didnt' tear up my tractor !

Well to make a long story short. I had my blades replaced and my spindles checked because I ran over a tow truck chain with the MMM and tore up the blades. The dealer installed 3 new blades and checked the spindles. I took it out to mow for the first time and one of the blades ended up...

I have 4 acres, mow 2, level property. leaning toward bx2200, FEL, MMM. Will do some clearing but no snow or other serious tractions issues. opinions? Resale value? Best price in Northwest?

I removed mine about a week ago and tried to reattach it over the weekend. I couldn't get the hydraulic lines reattached. It seems like there is too much pressure in the backhoe lines and I can't get the quick couplers to "click". What is the easiest way to relieve some of the pressure? Bob

I have a new BX22 (5 hours) and it is quite difficult to get it out of four wheel drive. Did others experience this now or when their tractor was new?

One of the tractors I am considering is the BX22. Mowing would be a secondary funcation as I would be using it mostly for FEL, backhoe and posthole digging work on a small scale. Is the BX22 capable of doing real FEL and backhoe work? I am concerned about it's light weight and ground...

I am inviting owners of the BX22 to post their experiences with the machine in terms of what projects they have accomplished, what implements they have been able to use, and what problems they have encountered and how those problems were solved. Thanks in advance. Seth

I have made my mind up on a BX22 with a 54" mmm. What should I expect to pay? I'm located in SW Pennsylvania. Any suggestions on where to buy? Thank-you

I read here that there are optional toothbars available for the BX22's FEL. Would anyone happen to have a picture of one installed? Do you like it? I also read that some are removeable and some are not. Are there pros and cons to this? Thanks! P.S. This board is GREAT!

So I went to my dealer today to iniquire about renting a L48. He said he could rent me one for $175 a day including delivery and pickup. Does that sound reasonable? I'll be using the L48 for taking out some small islands that are in my "so called" pond. It is so dry right now I can drive...

I currently own a B2410 FEL and 5"Boxblade. I want to know if anyone has recently used their BX22 Backhoe to dig in very hard dirt. I would like to trade mine for a BX22. I could buy a backhoe for mine, but I think trading would come out cheaper. I could also get a 60"MMM and this would add to...

I have a new BX22 that I would like to attach a log splitter to the 3 pt hitch. Northern Tool has one for sale, but I do not understand how the hydraulics need to be hooked up. Here is the wording from the Northern Tool website: Three-Point Hitch Log Splitter for Tractors Powerful splitter...

I can't believe it. I was cutting the grass yesterday morning when all of the sudden I heard CLANG BANG BOOM!!! The tractor shut off and I got off to inspect. I found that I had finally found the tow truck chain I'd lost while pulling a friend out of a mudhole with my Jeep. I was using the...

Was going to try reversing the ROPS so it folds toward the front. Need to shorten it up with the BH removed, so it fits in the shed. Has anyone tried this yet?

Not one of the toughest "first jobs" for the BX22 (just traded up from a BX2200) but it performed the task admirably. The Cupola was made by my father - it didn't look like it weighed much until we tried to lift it -- let alone try to carry it up a ladder.....get the BX!!!

My BX22 pulled up this rock without even batting an eye. This rock was actually quite impressive in size, but the photo didn't seem to do it justice. I love my kubota!!!

HI: OK, I need to get some feedback and advice. Background: I have about 3 acres on the side of a hill (more like a slope) about 1 acre is trees so I mow 2 acres. I live in upsate NY so I have deal with winter and snow. The driveway is 120 ft long, again with a slope. I have been doing...

Well, I did it. Spent the last few weeks lurking on this forum and decided to get a BX22. It's getting delivered Friday. My question for you folks is wether or not I should have the dealer install a tooth blade on the FEL. Initial profects will include spreading a lot of dirt from a large...

I recently moved into a new house on 5 acres, the lot is moderatly steep and has many rocks, stumps and over all is fairly rough. I am planing to buy the BX22 and after the final grade i plan to do most of the landscaping myself. I have two logging roads that i want to develop into trails...

Here are some pictures of the completed drain from my downspouts to the pond. Hopefully it should help fill it up.

Of course the BX22 would not not fit in my old 12' x 16' shed with all of its goodies and the other "stuff" that lives in the shed. Started razing the slow careful way, since I plan to reuse roof sheathing and a few other odds and ends. Things got off to a slow start with the 90+ deg and high...

The other night after I had used my MMM for a few hours I went to put on my FEL and noticed for the first time that the metal hydraulic couplers(not sure if this the correct terminology) were hot enough where I couldn't hold them for very long. I just went through my 50hr maintenance on my BX22...

How long are the augers for the post hole diggers for the BX22 and BX2200? KCook

I have lots of dead wood on my land that I want to clean up. my five acres are virgin forest and thick with the accumulation of branches that have fallen over time. I've been looking at a Woods Model 5000 PTO Chipper that I can put on the back of the BX when I pull the backhoe off. At $...

Here is my situation. I have 35 acres with a new unlandscaped house and soon to be shop. I have an 830 Case with FL, post hole digger, 8'rear blade, and 7' rotary mower for the bigger jobs. I'm shopping for a garden tractor to till with, mow around the homestead, do landscape chores with, clean...

I own 3.5 acres in northern California (Loomis, Granite Bay area near Folsom Lake). I was contemplating purchasing a Kubota BX22 Sub-compact tractor with a LA210 FEL and BT600 backhoe to perform lite duties that will include installing irrigation lines, digging out 4-6 inch stumps, moving and...

I have a deal on a BX22 configured with a MMM 60" and a LandPride 48" rotary cutter for $17500. Is this a fair price for central Wisconsin?

I think the Kubota manuals must be poor translations or else I'm thick, but can anybody out there tell me what is meant by this sentence which appears under "3-Point Control System" on page 37 of the tractor manual? "Hydraulic control lever is automatically returned to neutral position when the...

Was at Byrd Tractor today in Manassas, VA and they have a shiny new BX22 with bar tires and 12" BH bucket that is not spoken for. $ 16,500 includes a 60" midmount Kubota deck and a 48" tootbar for the loader as well (get the tootbar, you'll be glad you did). They will ship, too. Good folks to...

I installed a rear work light mounted off the ROPS, and <gasp> drilled two holes at the top of the bar to mount a light and get wire access. The Kubo Safety Police will no doubt be looking for me, but since it was at the top of the bar in the middle of the frame, I'm confident the bar will not...

I was bushhogging a field the yesterday and didn't bother to take off the MMM. Can anyone with a BX22 and 60" MMM tell me how close the rear of the MMM is to the rear wheels when raised up? Mine looks really close. It maybe has an 1 1/2" before the rear tire would hit the MMM. While...

Does any one have one on the BX22? I'm interested in getting one to keep the sun off me and to mount some type of radio underneath of it. It sure does get old riding around for hours on end without any toons :) Pics would be great if you have any!

Does the bar tires on the BX22 mess up a yard during mowing? Any comments, I worry about the traction of the turf tires in the winter. KCook

I am having a hard time deciding on getting a B7500 or BX22. I am planning on using it for mowing my 4 acres of pasture about 80% of the time and using the FEL for knocking down and burying a large block barn for the other 20%. Now that the BX22 is available (includes a BH for about $2000 more...

I asked this in the oil forum but I don't think its as active as ths one, any suggestions? Thanks I know its probably been answered a 100 times but I tried doing some searches and didnt come up with much. But is there a consensus on the BEST grease for my Kubota BX22? I really don't mind...

This weekend I discovered that after mounting the BH, the FEL wasn't working properly...it would go up (sort of) but not come down unless I jogged the lever into the float position. Obviously not the way to do it. I called my dealer today and he said to check that all my quick-release hydaulic...

I know its probably been answered a 100 times but I tried doing some searches and didnt come up with much. But is there a consensus on the BEST grease for my Kubota BX22? I really don't mind spending the extra bucks on a certain brand or on synthetic if it helps. Considering the amount of money...

This was the first weekend I really cranked up the hourmeter, putting 6 hours on. First job was to dig the footers for expanding my shed since only the tractor fits (with a shoehorn with the 60" MMM attached), the FEL and BH get parked in the garage for now. Going from a 12' x 16' to 16' x 20'...

HI all, I was wondering what a good price of a BX22 with a FEL and MMM? Also will this small of a unit handle a post hole digger, and brush hog (Small)? KCook

Is the basic difference between the 22 & 2200 the BH? Surely the 22 is a bit heavier.......Just wondering since I am suppose to take delivery of a 2200 Tuesday. I sure do not want to look back and say "I wish I had known that"! I will have no need for a BH. Am really pumped about this little...

Attachment says it all :)

I finally took off the FEL and BH (boy did that help out the mowing duties!!!) and connected the 3pt hitch. I drove across the field to another barn to hook up a 48" Howse bush hog and realized one thing. It looks too darn narrow to hook up. The ends of the 3pt hitch are too narrow to fit...

I have been gathering info on a BX22 over the last couple of months and all I have read seems to be nothing but good feedback. Anyway, I have a smaller lot (1 acre) and hope to buy possibly 2 more acres. Is the BX22 too much tractor for just the acre I have now? (There is a wooded area I...

My Bx22 will be delivered in 7-10 days. I decided to buy one after reading TBN and trying one out at the dealer. I will be getting a lot of seat time using the BH to remove pine tree stumps and clean up after an ice storm tipped over many trees. Also plan to move a lot of dirt with the FEL...

Ok, so my brother (Grunge post) keeps talking about his 2910 he bought but we both bought tractors at the same time. I guess I better give some info since we both used this forum to help us make our decision. I got my BX22 with 60" MMM for $16000 and a Howard 50" Tiller for $1300. The dealer...

I know the dummy lights should keep me out of trouble, but has anyone put a gauge pack on a BX22-BX2200? If no one has, can it be done?

I have only recently begun to look into compact tractors and what little knowlege I have has come from this forum. Please excuse any misunderstandings on my part. But, from what I understand the introduction of the BX22 was somewhat recent. And (according to my dealer) this model is in short...

Well it's done.....BX22 to be delivered Tuesday afternoon. Looks like it'll really be a HOLIDAY weekend at my place. Thanks to all who directly or indirectly helped in the decision process. I now have to make room in the barn....Craftsman lawn tractor 15.5hp 42" deck looking for a new home...

Playin\' with the BX22 Well, Ya'll know I got this new little diesel gadget in the garage now, I took delivery of my Kubota BX 22 with backhoe and front end loader on Saturday and spent a whole day trying to figure out how to make it work. Well, by Saturday night I can say that: 1) Wives...

Seems a lot of good chatter about the BX22. Just how do they compare to a B20/B21. I'm looking at a used B21 for about the same price as a new BX22 (you can see my earlier post re the B21 for details,) and am now wondering if perhaps a new BX22 would be just as rugged and durable? Thanks in...

Put the ol' Yanmar on the trailer (10x6) and brought home the BX22. What a tight squeeze! They would have delievered it but I wanted to see if it would fit on a 10'x 6' trailer and it did! I had to raise the FEL and move the backhoe to the side and it left me just enough room to be...

Just took delivery of my new BX22 this morning and several asked for photos of the 46" Toothbar (detachable) that I ordered with it. Figured I'd get photos of it before I went out and got it dirty <g>. Cost? About $ 300.00 from Byrd Tractor in Manassas, VA. Leave it on all the time except...

Reason I'm asking is I'm real close to be able to get a BX22 or 2410, but just used me neighbors old Ford 8N with an 8' rake and it sucked. It does have position control to! As soon as I got anything susbstaintial in the rake, the big rear ag tires would just spin (one of them anyway). I...

How important is postion control? Dealer says you can do it on the BX just not accurately or repeatably. Need to maintain a small minibike flat track, smooth out ruts, level, etc... Also, I need to remove/move basketball size rocks and smaller a lot. Will the BX do it?? I'm leaning BX but...

Since I plan on buying my Bx22 with the turf tires, anybody know what a set of wheels and Ag tires should go for? Thanks

whats the differance between the bx2200 and the bx 22? just a new model year? i have yet to see a bx 22 at the dealers. just the 2200. help im gettin close to buying

I've been thinking(dangerous in itself) there may be times I may want to do loader work w/o the BH attached. Some type of rear weight may/will be required. Any opinions on what should be used? As you can see from my profile I have most implements I need for use with my Cubs. The only thing...

I am still having a really hard time deciding between the BX22/2200, John Deere 4110 and the Power-Trac 425. I realize they are not really apples to apples, but they all seem to address the features I am looking to have. (Notice how I didn't use the word NEED) The real issue is the comfort...

Since I'm pretty much obsessed with getting a BX22, anyone have any pictures? I need some tractor **** until I convince the wife to let me buy one ;) Kubota's website is pretty week, just a couple puny pictures. Thanks

my bx22 is 2 weeks old and only has 13 hours on it,i know,i know, not enough seat time. im getting pretty good with the backhoe ,my buddy who is a operator, gave me the thumbs up after doing some seat time. he was impressed with the overall set up of the bx22. it really needs a tachometer...

Ok went on down to the local Kubota dealer and told him what I wanted. BX22 with FEL, 10"BH, 60" MMM. We came up with a price of $16,500. He also wants me to bring in my Yanmar 1702D 4wd diesel for a possible trade in. Anything sound wrong here? $16,500 a fair price for both of us? Thanks!

Took delivery on my BX22 on Saturday. Haven't had a chance to start using it but as someone new to the tractor world, I'm studying the books very carefully before embarking on any adventures. She's a fine looking machine and very orange - my favorite color. I must say the manuals leave a...

Now I'm in the mood to lay down some cash. Right now I have a Yanmar 1702D 4wd (forsale) and I was looking to add a FEL and BH. Then I saw all this talk of a BX22. I was thinking I needed more power then 22 hp but I think it should do. I plan on doing the following with the BX: Cutting...

Okay, I know you can't buy a BX22 without one. It seems to me that Kubota will be missing out on some potential BX22 buyers (like me) that would like to be able to add a backhoe in the future, but don't need one from the start. Kubota could even price the backhoe so it would cost more to add...

I'm replacing my old ford with a new Kubota. I have about 10 acres to up keep and do some side work (electrical) 18" deep trenching for conduit. I like the BX because of the size. It looks like it can get into some tight spots which is a plus for me. I also plan on adding a mower so I can...

Kubota finally updated their website to include the BX22.

Auburn California, 90 miles from Reno After reviewing all the messages I could find pretaining to Kubota compact tractors I decided on the BX 22. I work 5 acres of rough sloping property with oaks, rocks, a creek and pond to maintain. My BX22 base price with backhoe and front loder...

Auburn, California I have been reading your forum input for a few weeks now. You bunch of meat heads convenced me to go for the BX22. I will be maintaining and landscaping 5 sloping to level acres with lots of brush in very rocky land. I plan on doing some grading and trying to remove some...

Well, I like several other BX2200 owners on TBN have been drooling over the new BX22. I decided to wipe that drool off and trade my BX2200 in for the BX22. It was delivered last night. I haven't been able to try out the BH yet - just tried out the removal and installation of it - very easy...

Now that I have decided on the BX22 where can I get the best deal. I'm on the west coast but have truck will travel to save bucks.

I have decided on the new BX22. Options will include box scraper, rotary tiller, mid mount mower and brush guard. Should I also fill the wheels with water ? Any after thoughts from you BX owners? Hope it will hold me, 1ton!!

i trailered my new bx22 home yesterday..i mowed a little, put the bucket into a pile of wood chips,dug out a rock in the lawn with the backhoe and even put the cupholder to use.it drives like a dream. the power steering is great,4wd took me through some real wet spots no problem. today its...

My BX22 was delivered today after a month's wait. Very Orange Overall very impressive to use. I mounted and demounted the MMM, FEL and BH. I found that the FEL was a bit tricky to get back on. The mounting arms had attained slightly differing angles and it took a bit of jockeying to get...

BX22 10\" or 12\" BH bucket I've been looking(drooling) over the BX22 for a little while now. I've touched and smelled it. Next is a test drive. Today's question....... 10" or 12" bucket for the backhoe? My tasks......dig some water features, trenching for downspout drainage, dry wells...

well, finally broke the wife and the bank.bought the new bx22 after alot of thought, and after reading alot on this forum. i got the 4-way hydraulic/12"backhoe bucket/block heater/ 60"deck/aux.lights facing rear/and turf tires. (hope i dont regret the turf tire decision). i will pick it up this...

After a long 4 weeks wait my BX22 was delivered to the dealer today. Went there to look it over and check it out. Unfortunately he would not let me do any digging on his property, but I did exercise all of the implements. Delivery is set for Friday, after he swaps tires (I ordered bar and the...

My '49 Cub.

I am getting close to purchasing the bx18 or bx22 and wonder what folks think about the difference. I am planning on mowing, and little work with the FEL and maybe some tilling in the future.

I am looking at the BX22 for just personal use and wanted some feedback from people who have already gotten one. I have about 4 acres I need to finish mow. It rolls a little but is smooth and well maintained. My kids mow it with a garden tractor now - but it's about a 6 hour job. Also I need...

Looking for some pro's and con's on the new bx22 cub-compact before I lay down the cash. Thanks. Steve

What are the going prices on the new Kubota bx22 sub-compact loader/backhoe?

Does anyone know why the official Kubota site still doesn't have details/specs on the BX22?

Has anyone purchased and been using the new BX22? How do you like the backhoe?

Well, I traded my BX2200 that I bought new in January on the new BX22. I made the mistake of going look at it when my local dealer got one in! I will be getting it this afternoon, I can't wait!

I finally registered. I've been visiting for about 9 months. My old JD 300 finally became too much a hassle after 23yrs ,last summer. I decided I deserved a new tractor. I found this web site on a Saturday night, and after reading everthing I found on the BXs I knew I had to have one. My "local"...

I live near Atlanta and was wondering if anyone knew which dealership near there might be the best. Also what would be a good price on a BX22 with 60" mower and FEL. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Here are the pictures of the BX22 that came in, but wasn't mine yet. <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.tractorbynet.com/cgi-bin/compact/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=buykubota&Number=128766&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=0&fpart=>Previous post on that story</A> <A target="_blank"...

Got a call from the dealer today - "Hey there is a truck here with 3 BX22's, I guess your's is here already!" Wow I thought, he had estimated mid-end April. After a few words about having to get it ready, I was ready to get in the mood to dig holes by early next week. Great ! Well before I...

Anyone have any firm quotes on a BX22? I saw one quote of about $14,500. This means the hoe (and brush guard) costs almost $4,000. That seems like a lot.

Davis Equipment in Ashland, Ky has a brand spanking, very shiny BX22 "all hoed out" sitting in front of their business on display for the world to slobber over. Wow! Impressive machine! I gotta stop by for a closer look.

Just a note. Bx22s are here, traded my Bx2200 in on one this A.M. Going to be delivered Fri or Sat.

Got to see the new BX22. Dealer has three BX22 one already spoken for,other two almost ready to be purchase. Between the sun and the cold wind photos little shakey.

I’m considering buying a new BX2200. I’ve got about 10 acres of property some lawn, mostly wooded, with a 400’ gravel driveway. Looking to do general landscaping, moving stones/logs, some contouring, swales, driveway maintenance, trenches, and mowing. Dealer thinks I’d be happier with the B7500...

The below website had some information on the new BX22 Loader/Backhoe. I didn't think the BX22 information was released yet, but the below dealer has info on his website. http://www.fiser.com/tractor/const/bx22.shtml

A friend and I went to the Power Show in Columbus, Ohio yesterday and while at the Kubota display saw a new model- BX22 which is supposed to be better equiped frame wise (than a BX2200). It had a FEL and backhoe attached. A standard BX2200 was sitting next to it and couldn't see much...

I've seen a lot in these posts about the new BX22 with backhoe but have not seen any pictures or anything on the official Kubota web site. Does anyone know when it will be available and how it will be priced compared to the BX2200? I will need something in the spring for 2 acres of lawn and...

Do any of you have the specs on this new BX22? -Dave

I live in south eastern Ohio. I have approximately 100 acres. Of that 100 I mow perhaps 10 on aregular basis and maby another 10 in old loging roads on the property. I have maby 500 ft of gravel driveway that I would like to keep clean and level. Iwould like to clear maby another acre or so...
