kubota bx24

Hi all, newbe here. Bought my BX24 FEL, BH, 54" mmm about a year ago. Love it. Looking to add another implement. Anybody familiar with Lowery brushcutters? Looks to be a good match for my tractor without FEL for ballast. Mainly to benefit maneuverability.

Used my Woods RB60 today for the first time to actually do some grading on my road. Previously I just used it facing backwards to move a little snow. I cannot believe how well the BX24/RB60 combo worked in a real grading operation. It dug into fairly hard pack and smoothed over potholes with no...

Has anyone ever used a 2 bottom plow with there BX24? Or even a 1 bottom? I have a section of garden I want to plant but the area is to big to deal with with a walk behind tiller. This area probably hasn't been turned over in 40 years. My thinking is I could run over it with the plow then...

we are buying a new bx24 this week and i have atleast 9 jobs lined up for it just in the yard for it. if we can get it on the trailer i may go out and find some work for it to make extra money. our trailer has 3000 lb weight cap. and 12' bed is that going to be ok. jim

I have a slow leak on a back tire on my BX24. What's the best way to lift this tractor to get the back wheel off? Where should a jack be applied to?

Could someone please tell me how: 1. You check the Hyd. Pressure on a BX24 2. How do you make adjustments? Thanks!:confused:

My BX24 ran well today blowing about 12 driveways w/ 10 inches of slush . . . problem was that the machine would not stop running even after the key was placed in the off position then removed. Not even the PTO kill switch in the seat would do it. I came inside and looked up this forum to find...

Well, I finished the 50hr service on my BX the other day. It was much easier than I had expected. One of my friends also has a BX and he was going on and on about removing the BH and on and on. The only thing I took off was the grill guard and engine cowl. I think the hardest part was...

If you've been following my recent posts you'll know I have filled all four tires (to 75%) and have bumped up the pressure relief to 2000psi. Last weekend while finishing the wood pile for next winter (lot of load way out on the FEL carrier) I noticed a pretty good crush on the front tires. I...

Hi All, I've found a used snow blower someone I know has in his backyard. Right now it is covered in plastic with stuff piled on top of that. I told him we would wait a week or so for the weather to get a bit nicer (I was also in a hurry and running late for my next meeting). Anyway, he...

I have turfs now that are not loaded for my grass. Would it make sense to get R4s that are filled for better traction on mud or dirt? I think if I do this I might only get rears. Thoughts?

In the past I used to start my BX24 with the throttle at idle, never had a problem. Now I have to move the throttle about one inch to get it started.... Can't figure out what's going on... Any suggestions? - BX24 - New Battery - Checked voltage at glow plugs , ok - Changed both fuel filters -...

I've just about settled on buying a BX23 or BX24 to train myself up on using a TLB before I move to retirement, where I know I'll need something twice as big. Based on Barlow prices I'm expecting to pay about 12K plus for a low hour BX24. My SWAG is that a low hour BX24 might depreciate about...

I'm sorry to ask this because I'm sure it's been discussed but I can't seem to find it searching. Does anybody know what the flow rate is at the power beyond on the rear of a BX24? Will be running about 3000 rpm. Thank you:o

Thinking about a used one for leaves. I have a ZTR so this will be occasional use only. What models fit/don't fit? Would the fine cut or normal be better once hooked to a Cyclone etc?

Does anyone have a work shop manual for the BX? I recently bumped the main relief valve to 2000psi as measured at the FEL QDs and got what appears to be a decent bump in capacity (see recent post in customization). However, In going through the parts diagram for the backhoe valve assembly I...

This may seem like a dumb question, but how do you tie down a tractor? After all, a $15,000 tractor is nothing to mess with, not to mention that the public hazard I could create. I tend to go way overboard when it comes to tieing anything in a trailer, I use 6 straps just on a 4 wheeler, so...

I REALLY LIKE the idea of having the seat belt when operating the backhoe, which the BX23 does not offer.I was wondering if anyone has tried to upgrade this / knows what might be involved parts wise? Is the BX24 seat belt attached to the seat itself or to the fame? Would I need the lift & swivel...

Can a BX24 power a JINMA 6 wood chipper? Can the 3PH handle an 800 pound attachment?

I have been bouncing around in the JD section for about a month now. I started a thread called "thinking of upgrading to 2305 Well I had made my decision to buy and started discussions with the dealer. I was planning on staying with JD since I would be trading in my 2007 X320 lawn tractor and...

Own a BX24, 2 years now, has FL, BH, MM mower, great machine, looking to buy a landscape rake, need something to disturb the soil prior to planting a new lawn, know zero about 3 point hitch attachments, looking for some help on size, make, model and performance. Also looking for a rear plug...

Finally got around to putting he weight to good use for the BX, I dont have all the suitcase weights dug out of the snow yet but this will help for moving the trailers when mowing and adding some ballast to the BX or B2400 when using just the loader. I picked up the tractor weight and 4...

Just curious if I am the only person owning a kubota that has a problem with not weighing enough for the safety shutoff in the seat. I am about 125lbs and would think that would be enough to hold the seat but any bumps big or small my engine tries to shut off on me. I don't want to completely...

I was training my son this afternoon on how to remove a stump. I had to switch to a Pilaske. After 15 minutes I looked up and found that my audience found comfort in the seat. I heard they were pretty nice. We are first time owners of our first tractor for a couple of months now. So I guess we...

I am looking to move some landscape rocks around my property in the coming months and I am trying to decide if I should get a thumb. I can use the front loader but would like to bring in some bigger rocks and want to know if the backhoe has greater lifting capacity than the front loader? Does...

My BX24 dies when I step on the pedal to move forward or backwards. Has to be a bad switch or wire. Any ideas?

I have had my tractor for about 2 years. I have 200 hrs on it. I have noticed that the top speed has gotten slower over time. Has anyone noticed this before? I notice this because I drive 1/2 mile down a road to get to a field.

Does anyone know if the hitch kit for a bx 24 will fit a bx23? Are most of the parts the same? I cannot find a parts list for what is supposed to be in each kit.

This morning I noticed a strong diesel smell as I was operating the BX. I stopped and checked to see where this was coming from.... Underneath the tractor, forward of the fuel pump, one of the fuel lines (the smallest 3/16) was leaking. Turn out, after further investigation, that the rubber...

Hi everyone I have what I think may be a fuel clog issue. Is there a fuel shutoff under the tank on this model that could be off or clogged? (2 year old BX24 tractor) The tractor will start and if it's been sitting a while run well at what ever idle you set. But if you try and work it. It bogs...

I'm new to list but I've been lurking for sometime. I've got a 2 year old BX24 on Bowen Island, BC which is used for snow removal, trenching, firewood and compost turning. The tractor came with bar tires, R1 not R4s as suggested in the Kubota sales info. The left front has a slow unfixable...

I waited a month to post this question because I really didn't know how to describe my issue. Each time I leave my throttle running at 2100 RPM's, I hear a fairly loud clattering noise coming from the engine area. The clattering description is the best I can come up with, it also sorta sounds...

I have a 24 and my dad has the 2350....they appear to be the same machine other than the backhoe on mine and I have a L240 loader and he has the L243 loader....I dont see a difference in the loaders. My ? is...his max RPM is around 3900 and mine is 3500. What would be the 400 RPM...

I have close to 20 stumps that I am taking out with my newly (used to me) purchased 2008 BX24. It is dark close to 5 pm so I need lights. I picked up an LED Princeton Tec APEX 130 lumens headlamp. Bright as day at 100'. Wide angle and spot light mode both work well. This is more light than I...

I never really understood what all the complaining was about until I came to a fast stop in reverse while quickly backing down a hill with a 3pt aerator on the tractor. Even with the front loader on it lifted the front end off he ground and got my attention. After that the problem has popped up...

I've searched, but didn't really find anyone with my exact problem. I've talked with the dealer, and it sounds pretty common. My problem-When it's cool outside, not necessarily cold, my tach/hour meter blacks out to a point that you cannot see the digits. It looks like someone took a black...

I am a long time reader and first time poster. I just purchased a BX24 that was originally purchased April of 2008. It has 210 hours and came with the following impliments that were also purchased at the same time. The owner passed away and it was sold as part of the estate: LR1560 (60" Land...

I have had no problems moving up to 12 inches of snow with my tractor. I only have a reversible rear blade and the fel. I have a gravel drive so if the ground is not frozen I pull up a lot of stone. I will pull the snow piles back onto the driveway during thaws to restore the stone.

Looking to outfit my BX24 with a rotary cutter (brush hog, bush hog, etc..) this spring. Any comments or suggestions on size (48" vs 60"). Anybody buy one from Tractor Supply? I'm a weekend warrior with the tractor and even less with a rotary cutter. Thanks.

Thought I'd post this note on a homemade crank guide for the BX2750c front blower. I had to make one because the tiny bracket Kubota provides interferes with the loader/blower lever. Hope this helps.

Hi, I am looking at these 2 link spacing Vbar chains for the rear tires of the BX24: 26-12-12 Tire Chains Has anyone use the same setting on their BX24? Any specific problem, clearance etc...? Thanks you. Fred

Got a lot of snow lately and I was looking at rear blade to help with snow/slush removal. Would a rear blade work with the BX24? Which blade would you recommend? Do I need any special parts to attach a rear blade to the BX24? Can a rear blade rotate 180 deg, to push snow going backwards? Do I...

Here is a link to a video I did today of the BX 24 in about 18" of compacted snow. I was getting rid of the built up banks. If anyone is wondering about the BX performing with a snowblower, no problem. It performs very well. This is a 50" bueler that was scabbed with rust. I wire brushed it...

Pulled this stump out back in November. This machine never ceases to amaze me, and this stump really proved it. The stump is so large and so heavy I had to tip it on it's side and roll it out of the hole, as the BX just did not have the pulling power to drag it out. Once it was on the grass I...

Hi All, I've lurked on this site for quite a while but decided I should join and add a post. I was searching for info on an attachment for skidding logs with my BX24. After looking at what was posted I realized that I could make a skidder out of a sodbuster 3 pt attachment I already have. I am...

My BX24 seems to keep breaking loader pins, I just had to order my 2nd pin from the dealer. Im talking about the pin on the bucket that goes to the loader arms (Not the hyd cylinder mount). It breaks right in the middle where they have made a groove for the grease to go around the...

My FEL control stick locks 1/2 way when you push it forward or when lowering the bucket. I bought this machine used in july (an 07 with 45hrs). I don't know if I never pushed it hard enough to get past this sticking point or if this is something that has recently developed. Either way if you...

This little tractor is an animal in deep snow here in central MA. My problem is that often while plowing with the 2763 blade, the front tires lift off the surface, and I start to go wherever forces want me to. I'm in 4WD, with the differential lock set, turf tires, backhoe on, and floating the...

Can anyone tell me the output of the alternator supplied stock on the BX24? I can't find this spec in the owner's manual. Thanks.

Since I ordered a dolly for my BH and plan on taking it off for the first time I'm wondering how much weight I need on the rear to offset a load of heavy snow in my bucket. I do have the rears filled with rimguard and they are heavy. Think this might be enough? I also use chains on the rear...

Hello People, Can somebody help me about drawings and details like pictures, to build a fronthitch of my BX24 like to connect a snowblower or frontblade!! There no drawings or piece parts avaiable in Holland like this item! Thanks in advance Zunnie

Hallo People, Can somebody helpmy about the subframe details and drawings I need to make a fronthitch of my BX24 to connect like a snowblower!! Thanks everybody Zunny

Hey Guys, I have a friend with a BX24 and have a few questions to ask: Can you use "regular" implements on the 3 point of the BX24 or do you have to get implements made for compact tractors with a narrower stance between the pins that your lower arms go on? Could anyone that has made a cab...

In case anyone was wondering if a BX24 could handle a post hole digger, I just completed our last section of exterior fence line using a Leinbach 7200JR PHD. All fencing previously was completed using a friend's hydraulic post hole driver. Since I bought my BX in June, I wanted to complete this...

My Mom is visiting for the week and I took the week off. She turned 90 years old in October. I took her everywhere I went so far this week and she has watched when I fed the horses. I cleaned the horse poop from the pasture this week and while I do that, she sits in the house and does her...

As you may have seen from past posts, I had added a lever to operate the HST in the unused slot next to the 3ph lever. I have added an overide switch in parallel with the under seat switch to the lever in order to to allow the tractor to be moved forward or back while the seat is reversed in the...

I would like some advise in selecting a PTO driven tiller for my BX24. I have red clay with a fairly high percentage of rocks. Is a 48" unit too much? Does anybody have one of these that is "in their way"? Central Virginia.

Anyone have any thoughts as to why my hydraulic motor that I am trying to install for my chute rotation on blower only goes one way when connected to the left right of the stick for my FEL. When I connect to the up down on the stick I get perfect rotation-so I now know it is not the pump...

ANy ideas before I tear it apart? I was pushing/lifting huge brush piles with my BX when I noticed my tach was not working. I a pretty sure the ignition switch did not work as well. I kept working and was wondering how to shut it off...it died about 45 minutes after I noticed the problem. My...

Has anyone mounted a toolbox to their BX24?? I only want to store a couple screw drivers, crescent wrench etc. to adjust top link or whatever. If you have, how about a picture and where you got the box. Thanks, Dean

I have been reading posts on here since feb of this year and have learned alot. It prompted me to go out and buy a BX24 in May. This has been one of the best purchases I have ever made!! This thing is a work horse!! Anyway I have finally joined and have my first question since I haven't been...

Thanks for all the helpful info on my post about the weight and towing of the 24. I reconsidered, though, and now I've got a BX25 coming this Tuesday. I had gotten two different prices locally of 17,500 and 17,250, so I decided to get a 24 from out of state in PA...15,400 with the tires I...

While trying to flip a large stump over, it slipped off the edge of the loader bucket, came bacwards towards the tractor, and one of the large roots smacked the hood cracking the plastic headlight bezel. Is there a place online that I can obtain this part?

Is there a bulb part for the headlights that can be purchased at Wal-Mart or local auto parts store?? Or, is the Kubota bulb the only one that will work?? Thanks, Dean

Hi all, I've been reading here for a while and decided to sign up as I'm close to pulling the trigger on a BX24. The thread on weight from a few months ago seemed to toggle back and forth between about 2300# and 2800# for the tractor, loader and backhoe. I tended to lean toward those who said...

My first question...no cherry comments!! :rolleyes: (Yes, I know Kubota has had a problem with this) My BX24 with 298.3 hours (220 hours in the last 10 months) just turned to 0.0 hours on the meter!! The dash cluster was replaced by the dealer for warranty before my 2 years is up. He gave it...

When operating the hydraulic lift on my BX24, I sometimes grab the shifter (low speed to high speed) instead of the correct knob. Has anyone made some kind of lock to insure that it won't shift while under load by mistake?

I have a bx24 with just a little over 100 hrs at about 60 hrs I had a small stick flip up and rip the boot and clean all the blades off the fan.The cost to me was $250 About $12 was parts.At about a hundred hrs i was back dragging after a stump removal and a small root tore the boot So back to...

I can't seem to keep the inspection shield knobs from breaking on my bx with the RCK60" deck. There is a conflict between the lift arm attachment pin mechanism and the knobs. Three of the four are broken. Any ideas on what to do?

Looking to do my 50 hr oil and lube changes real soon and I'm looking for both engine and hydraulic filter numbers from Fram. Anybody have them out there? Craig

Last week I was doin' some work for a neighbor and after I got home and parked the 'bota for the night, as I was stepping off 'CRACK' rang in my ears like cannon fire. Why so loud you ask. 'Cause I read hear on TBN about the fender cracking problem on BX24s and I knew in my sad heart what had...

Has anyone ever mounted one of these to a BX24? It looks like a shaft extender might be required or removal of the PTO shield. Thanks,

I found this video on removing the BX24 backhoe YouTube - Removing the Kubota BX24 backhoe is B21 backhoe removal similar?

1st things 1st, I've never owned a tractor, so I'm pretty challenged! Looking at buying something buy next spring (wife said so!!!!) We recently built a new home on 6.5 acres; 2 acres of lawn, 1/4 mile gravel drive way and the rest is field grass and will be leaving most of it as is. With the...

Hello All, I backed over a rock and flipped the BX on its side. Had the roll bar up and the seat belt on so I didn't get hurt. I turned the tractor off immediately . The BX was on it's side for about 40 minutes.I lost some oil and coolant. What must I do before I start it? Thank you,

Anyone know of a link to download service mauals for Kubotas? Cheap or free would be great. I found one for my motorcycle, and it has been an invaluable asset. Thanks.

I usually keep the backhoe on my Bx24 because I have lots of digging to do. I have a box blade to attach and the BX24 manual helps some to understand how to attach the 3 point hitch, but it does not do the job for me. Not their fault, I just am having a hard time seeing how the parts fit on the...

When my 3 point hitch is not installed, I'm always afraid I'll loose or misplace the 2 bushings that go on the ends of the lower link pin. I came up with a simple solution to keep everything together and also substitutes as a way to hang everything on the wall of my shop. All you need is 2 - 1"...

Well I was going to upgrade from my 2350 a while ago and just kept putting it on the back burner but after digging two stumps out by hand I am now convinced I need the bh. So what would one expect to pay for a bx 24 with loader and backhoe. Also rear remotes for a log splitter would be needed as...

Hello..I am new to hydraulics and tractors. I have a Kubota BX24, and i was using the backhoe yesterday, and all of a sudden I lost most control of my Left Boom swing. When I go right it goes nice and fast, and all other controls and FEL work fine. It goes left, but real slow and you can...

When the 2" diameter hardwood tree branch thrust up through the radiator fan shroud, and into the radiator fan, the Kubota BX24 made a noise so vile, sent shrapnel flying, and shook so hard that chills ran down my spine. After all, I had just killed my favored companion that has lasted longer...

The other day, I was removing the LA240 bucket from my BX24's FEL (I'm having some welding done and I thought it would be easier to transport the bucket as opposed to the whole tractor or FEL). While removing the bucket, I noticed that there are pins that, possibly could be switched to quick...

Was going to buy a B2920 but had not finalized the deal yet, but now I am buying 2 1/2 acres of ground to build another house. Already have 4 1/2 acres and will be taking care of another house we own for mowing. Question is with building a new house there would be a need to install a culvert...

I am trying to find rear skid plate for my BX24. Does anyone know where to find this? I can't find it on ebay.

I've had my BX24 since this spring. Haven't used the FEL or Backhoe all that much, but figured it must be around the 10 hour mark, so I got a grease gun from TSC and some little tubes of grease. The guy talked my into the small type grease gun - said they held up better. Now my manual says to...

Thank you everyone for advice on buying my new BX24. Now that it's here I've offically registered for TBN. I went after a BX25 (they had 3) but for $1700 less, it was a no-brainer. All mods/fixes were done: seat upgraded, floor-reinforced, etc. The jerky reverse is only in high-range and...

I finally managed to test the pressure and found my BX24 had 1740 PSI at WOT and warm fluid. I added 4mm shim and the pressure went to 1900 PSI at WOT. WOW, what a difference. I have a tractor that can lift a full bucket, a backhoe that can really scratch the dirt, and I can get by running at...

Has any installed the BX bar type tires and wheels on a 1100 yet? If so was a lift kit required? Thanks in advance

I own a 2008 BX24, bought it brand new, and have 38 hours on it. The rear transmission had developed an oil leak at around 30 hours. The Dealer covered it under warranty. He said it was the Breather valve that had to be replaced. Also mentioned that this was the first of a number of BX's...

My goal is to use front forks on my BX24 for hauling relatively light stuff around the property (attachments, brush, pallets). 200--300 pounds capacity will do fine. I'm looking at those advertised on BXpanded but I'm afraid the after market changes my dealer made to the upper edge of the...

Mentioned in another thread I was taking the wheels off my BX24 yesterday. When I pulled the right front wheel off a ball fell out....thought at first it was a toy that somehow got caught up between the rim and steering knuckle. Further investigation determined it was made of clay and very...

Went to pull the wheels off my BX24 yesterday to install some metal valve stems and was very dismayed to find two lug bolts on the left rear wheel stripped. One a little but one had major strippage. There was evidence of grease around the one really bad one so it appears someone knew there was...

I picked up a 18" off a Ditch Witch for $50, I've got some fabbing to do and it will fit on the ol BX24. Anyone do this? I wanted a 16" but the price was right for this 18" and I havent found a 16" for a decent price that is local. I know it wont be a big powerhouse but when digging holes...

Help, After checking and topping off my hydraulic fluid to the correct level on the stick, I noticed foaming of the fluid in hole. I then changed SUDT and filter and still have the foaming of the fliud when I run the engine, shut it down and check fluid level. Tractor is stored inside, there...

Ok so I've got about 160hrs on this thing now and I notice that after the tractor is shut off and I start it back up the backhoe will swing back and forth unless I move the handle to build up pressure. Today I noticed that if I sit idle for a bit it will loose pressure. As far as I know it is...

Just a post for people looking at / considering the BX24... All in all - it's been a good tractor that gets the job done... Like I'd say A-, B+ category of machine... but I have to say I'd give it less than a passing grade for the electrical system... At a bit over 2 years and almost 175...

Can anyone with a shop manual tell me what the torque settings are for the transmission, engine and front axles bolts are?

So when the drive shaft on my chipper broke near the PTO output shaft it did a little bit more damage than I first thought. The rear cover is leaking hydraulic fluid from the silicone seal. From what I can tel it just got smacked by the broken shaft spinning around and that moved the cover...

Hi. This might sound a bit strange...listen, over here (west europe including sweden) standard joystics on 360 diggers have on left joystic: Dipperstick and swing lever, right joystic: Boom and bucket lever.............and my BX24 have: left joystic Boom and swing lever, right joystic...

I was quoted a price of over $2,900 for the 60" mowing deck for the BX24. Does this sound like the typical price for the mmm?

Hi everyone. I've been browsing here silently for a while and now I have a question. I am awaiting delivery of my new BX24 TLB :D:D: I am looking for a trailer to move it on. My questions are: What is the total gross weight with FEL and backhoe on? What is the overall length with FEL and...

I currently own a BX24 with a 60" MMM, weight box, and 60" Brush hog rake. I am moving into a new home soon and will need a much larger machine. B2920? Though I have approx 140hrs on it now, My dealer thinks I should attempt to sell it outright. Says it is worth in the range of $14,000...

I thought I bit off more than me and my BX24 could chew after I started this project but with patience and a good axe, I was able to remove this stump. The roots ended up being longer and wider than I thought. I probably should have dug further out from the stump but with little experience, I...

Hello Folks..newbie here, great site. Picked up a used 07 BX24 with 37hrs last weekend for property maintenance/projects. Coolest toy in my chest. My girlfriend thinks I'm a kid but when I pulled up at the house at 9:30pm with it on the trailer 3 different neighbors came running out to check it...

I only get to use my tractor on weekends. The past couple weekends the backhoe bucket was sitting on the floor. No leaks underneath and runs fine. I left the FEL bucket a few inches up to see if whole system droops and it held. Just the backhoe droops. Any ideas? Is it just lonely during...

Is it normal for a BX24's (or any other tractor's) steering wheel to change positions while in operation? What I mean by this is that when I start using the tractor for the day, my steering wheel spinner may start in the 12 o'clock position while driving straight but within a few minutes of...

Not sure if its normal, but the 4x4 feels clunky when turning, even when i turn just a little bit. Even worst when the FEL is full of dirt. I now have about 17 hours and I have been using the 4x4 on the dirt. Its almost like a ring and pinion not messing properly. I understand when you make...

What is the proper size for my Bx24 with 902 engine?

Has anyone purchased or used the Leinbach L7200jr on a BX24? If so, what kind of experience has it been. With free shipping on Ebay, this doesn't seem like such a bad price, but would rather benefit from the experience of someone who has already used it. Thanks. Leinbach Post Hole Digger...

Didn't get any bites on Bever's thread so I'll try my own. . . I've got a GC2610TLB + 60"MMM + 50" Front-mount Snowblower quoted at $22.1K I've called the local Kubota dealer and can get Orange equivelant as above for $19.8K. Have not driven the BX24 but really like the Massey. $2.3K one or...

I am as happy as can be learning how to use this new machine safely and efficiently. Do I need a skid plate? I am not planning on using a MMM (the old Craftsman ride-on is for that job). I got a thumb for the backhoe and am considering a Post hole digger and possibly a tooth bar. Any...

Ok, Here is the scenario. Last night while sleeping, probably around 3:30am I heard a noise that woke me up. Looked out my bedroom window and noticed my motion detector floodlight above the garage was on. My bedroom is above the garage. I looked out the window and noticed a garbage can...

Ha- Anyone know the thread size, I assume mm, for a BX24?

I am considering getting a BX24 because of its size and the backhoe. ilike my 2305 a lot, i have the 200cx and 54 mmm but no back hoe. the 24 is a bit smaller and will fit my trailer better and I can start out with a new warranty not that I ever neededit for the JD, what do you think?

I am a brand new owner (30 hrs in 3 weeks) of a 2008 BX24. This is the first tractor I've owned, so I am trying to learn everything as fast as possible. What is the recommended engine RPM when using the MMM. I have a 60" MMM and mow 5 acres of horse pastures. Right now, the grass/weeds are...

55 seconds... and this was my first try. I am sure I could shave another 10-12 seconds off. Can anyone else do better? Perhaps we should do an online video competition? YouTube - Removing the Kubota BX24 backhoe

I picked up a used BX24 and was wondering whether or not the replacement seat and floorboard supports are warranty items or goodwill replacements from your dealer. I would like to get the new seat for improved comfort and the brackets to prevent breakage down the road. I looked at previous...

Hello everyone, well after reading all the posts, I decided to take the plunge on a BX24 before the 0 - 42 ended. So far very happy with it (about 4 hours). Question I have on the 60" MMM, is it normal to have a slight vibration a low RPM and then smooth out at mid to high RPM range? Also...

I had a stick destroy the rubber boot (looks just like a CV boot) in front of the hydro fan. Do I need to get this fixed? The fan appears to be fine and working properly. When the boot broke it slid forward and put a small hole in the floor mat. I cant tell if the gap in the plastic was there...

Hello, I am looking into a log splitter and may have a deal on a 3pt one. I have a few questions.... 1. I know the rear hydraulics gpm on a bx24 is low, but what is the actual number? 2. Would there be a better place to hook it up with quick fittings w/o disabling the fel? 3. How would i hook...

On my BX24 I would like to shorten the ROPS by about 3". That would allow me to get in and out of my garage without folding it. To me it looks like all I would have to do is redrill the holes and cut off the excess. (Sounds easy when you say it fast). Has anyone done this? What pitfalls am I...

My BX24 impressed me yet again, quite considerably. I had a 70 foot tree that my father-in-law pushed over with his Case 580 a few weeks back, and when he went to move the stump from it, the chain he was using to hold it against his loader snapped. And it was time to finish up from...

I am going to buy a BX24 tomorrow. It is mainly going to be used for general work around the house and some rental property I have. I currently use a 15 year old sears lawn tractor with a 42" deck to cut grass. There is nothing wrong with the craftsman mower but it is old enough and has had a...

Came out one morning and heard the fuel pump on the tractor ticking away even with the key switch off. When I tried to start the tractor,battery was almost dead. Started the tractor with a boost ,ran for awhile then could not shut off the tractor. Had to engage the PTO with empty seat to shut...

Have anyone tried to reverse the HST dampener in effort to lessen the reverse head snapping ? :confused: In case for those who don't know what i meant, If you look underneath the BX24 and move the HST pedal ( with brake on of course and engine off for those who are with :rolleyes: the safety...

Ok I bought a KingKutter 4' rotary mower/brush hog for my BX24. The mounts for the 3 point attachment seem to be pretty high off the ground. As a result I can't pick it up very high before I run out of travel. In fact I can't get it on my trailer when attached so I have to pick it up with...

Hi, I have a farm and I've got several tractors all of which are WAY too big for my garden. Therefore, I need to get a small compact tractor for keeping my garden in good condition - which is about 1/2 acre. I was thinking something along the line of the Kubota BX24. What is your opinion on...

We have had a couple of fires close to use this year. I need some fire protection options and one of them is to get a 300-500 gallon water tank and mount it on a trailer that my BX24 could pull around my 7 acres. I do have some hills to deal with, but I am wondering if this is too much load for...

Does anyone have a Tuff Top canopy on their BX24? What size canopy did you get and how much did it cost?

Notes from the Monster Garage; Despite the generous advice of "A light foot", and "Experience will prevail" I've read on various posts, the sudden reverse "slam" that we bx24 owners continually encounter prevails with no factory fix - until now. However, the "fix" is not for the faint of heart...

Today Acme Electric/Tool Crib of the North in Minot ND delivered my new BX24 with a 60" MMM. Great service so far and the price for everything was $18650 OTD.

This is my first post and I'm announcing the delivery of my new BX24. I really love it. SWMBO said that since it had a cupholder I could get it. :D We have a small place in the country SE of Minot ND with about 48 acres. I have 35 acres rented out, Minotbob

I installed my new Bro-Tek wheel spacers today on my BX24. They seem to make the machine MUCH more stable as they widen the stance about 4 1/2" and are high quality and very easy to install. Why the caution? Well if you have loaded tires and haven't taken them off before then beware they are...

When people ask me what's wrong with their computers, I sometimes say, "well, there's this nut that holds the keyboard? there's your problem" and then I hustle away before the meaning sinks in. So maybe some karma is coming back to hit me. My BX24 has a problem, and darned if it isn't "the Nut...

After reading many posts here and elsewhere, renting a BX24 for the 3 day memorial day weekend and accepting that almost all other brands' dealers were too far from me to be practical choices anyway, I am now among the happy BX24 owners. Well, almost. Delivery is this coming Saturday but having...

I posted this in the Kubota forum but thought this might be a better place. After moving some rocks and dead trees around this morning, I parked the BX24 to get some lunch. When I returned I had a nice puddle of hyd fluid under the tractor. The leak is coming from a split o-ring on one of the...

After moving some rocks and dead trees around this morning, I parked the BX24 to get some lunch. When I returned I had a nice puddle of hyd fluid under the tractor. The leak is coming from a split o-ring on one of the giant bolts on the hyd manifold(?) for the FEL under the battery. ( hope that...

OK, I went to my local dealer to get filters and oils for my 50 hour service. After a rather too long time searching his computer, the parts guy tells me I need two hydro filters (one for the transmission and one for the hydraulics). I went ahead and got both of them, but for the life of me can...

Does anyone know if a BX24 can properly power a Gravely Pro Chip PTO Chipper?

I've heard conflicting reports about the 3pt hitch on the BX tractors, some of which said that whatever was true was no longer the case on the BX24. What I'm wondering there's an old (1960s) category 1 grader blade down the road from my house, and I believe that the house is owned by a widow...

There is a real nice used 60" 3pt snowblower at a local dealer. Does anyone have any experience with a blower of this size on a BX? .

My neighbor is looking at the Kubota BX24 and the John Deere 2305 at our nearby dealer (the dealer sells both brands.) His question is: Should he be concerned about the amount of plastic on both of these models? The Kubota is about $1,500 less than the 2305 and both have all the features he's...

I've got two questions on the hydraulic top-and-tilt setup I got on my BX24. It's a Gearmore kit installed by the dealer at delivery last Nov, but I've only now started to do any serious box blade and rake work. I need some advise from someone out there experienced with hydraulic top-and-tilt...

I'm sure this has been answered before, but I can't find it... Anyone know what the max capacity is for pulling with a tow ball on the 3 point hitch? I am trying to figure out whether it is worth it for me to purchase as it would be helpful to be able to move trailers, boat, etc. around...

Does anyone happen to have a picture of how the spring on the shaft that you use to slide the seat back and forth on a BX24 goes on? I pulled my seat off just now and the spring fell off. I'm not sure that how I have it is how it's supposed to be, :rolleyes: Thank you

Although I'm actually a pretty patient person, I wind up wanting to rip my tractor in half every 10* hours when I grease it. I have a very hard time getting my grease gun nozzle on the zerk fittings. Are these metric zerks or something? Is there something that I should know? I do clean them...

My one front tire often goes flat (instantly, not a slow leakdown) when I'm doing loader work, and I don't think that I'm overworking the tractor. It went flat the other day when I got just a slightly-heaping bucket full of damp sand, and has also happened with a slightly-heaping pile of dry...

Any recommendations? I have done several searches and now i am more confused. Thanks

Hi everyone, This is my first post although I have been spending a lot of time on TBN. Thanks for posting so much useful information. After reading a lot of your posts, I have narrowed my selection down to the BX24. I am going to get a 60" MMM in addition to the tractor. My question is...

I've read several times about the switched not being very good on the Kubota's, but I also thought it would never happen to me.;) The other morning I went out and heard this strange noise...It stopped. Thought nothing more about it. Walked by my tractor again, heard the noise just long...

My bx24 is going in for 100 hour service tomorrow and I want to put some lights on the rops, mostly for night time rear snow plowing/blading and with a potential to turn the lights around tothe front for loader work. Would like them to go as high as possible on the rops but the dealer says...

I cannot remember the exact number that I read the other day as I was flipping through my owner's manual for my BX, but it was something like 3200 RPM to get the 540 RPM PTO speed. (Or maybe it was the 2500 mid-PTO, I forget.) I typically run my engine between 2400 and 2500 for driving and...

I"m curious why one is better than the other JD 2305 vs Kubota Bx24 ????????? Please give technical answers on what you think makes the difference. Thanks

Your opinon on why you would buy a Bx 24 over a John Deere 2305 ???????? Please be technical with your answers. I'm curious on why people buy one over the other. THANKS

Hey all, my engine is still kinda new, about 10 hours or so. I'm putting on the 60" mower deck and grass collector for the first time tomorrow and was wondering at what RPM the engine should be put when I fire this up. I'm assuming the PTO setting for both mid and rear should be on, yes? The...

I was pulling a big stump and must have caught the bucket under a couple of roots I was trying to scrape the dirt off of. I noticed I couldnt uncurl the bucket all the way. I checked it out and sure enough I bent the piston shaft for the bucket curl. Tractor is just about 2 years old. Any...

Why is the engine mounted backwards? It's an odd configuration, but I reckon there must be a reason. Is this thing really Japanese? Every nut or bolt I've had to turn has been SAE. Do the assemblers in GA influence this? This is the first Japanese vehicle I've ever owned and it's also the...

Well.....I only have about 17 hours on the machine but I have been working its tail off. The pictures you see here is a rather large 4 stump root ball. It was made up of (2) Cherry and (2) Tree of Heaven trees. I dug all around the stumps first, then cut the Cherry trees off leaving about 6+...

Scattered on my property no doubt. Anyway it's worth checking the central nut under the BX24 seat support for tightness. Mine was loose and further inspection revealed 3 of my 4 plastic seat spacers missing, and one of the steel balls was also bidding for freedom. The parts manual shows two...

I was wondering if any one has gone from a BX24 to a New b 2x20 series tractor. I love my bx 24 but the backhoe hydrylics are just to slow. Is there anyway to get more flow out of the pump. Is the BH60 any better for multiple maneuvers or am I just wanting to much from a small tractor. Was also...

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...

My BX24 will be losing her home tomorrow. I've stored her under my deck which is coming own while I finish siding the house and plan on a new, bigger(wife's idea) deck. I know they sell these little tractor covers, but has anyone seen or made a custom cover for a small TLB?

This seems to be a hard topic to search for and I haven't found a definitive answer. Is there anyone who has a top and tilt setup on a BX24? And just so that I confirm I understand what a top and tilt is, it is something that would allow me to adjust the right and left heights of a 3pt...

Hi, I've read over a number of the posts here and learned a lot already. We're going to buy a tractor, and need some help choosing between a BX24 and B2320 TLB. We have a mid 1800s house 4 acres with an old barn and tractor shed (so need _something_ to fill it). The property is mostly open...

I've only put the MMM on my BX24 a couple of times. Today after I attached the PTO shaft, I felt with my finger about 3/8 inch of the splines from the tractor's PTO. I don't know if the mower's PTO shaft is supposed to go all the way up the splines after the shaft's collar is put into place...

BX24 - 8" or 12" BH bucket? I will primarily dig up stumps 3 to 12" in diameter and do some general digging to plant trees and bushes etc. Who has which bucket and why?

So I was out moving a brush pile today when all of a sudden I hear the most horrible grinding sound coming from the front end. I shut off the engine and look around to see plastic piecies laying all over the ground. When I get off I see a stick wedged up under the front end, going through a...

Planning on re-mounting the mmm this weekend after storing for winter snow plowing. It came off easy...but it was just so darn heavy! Are there any tips for getting it back on with a minimum of skinned knuckles and swearing?

How much should I pay for the standard model with turf tires? What items should I consider having the dealer add before I get it (too hard for the average person that can't weld to install later) and what should they cost? I am interested in a tooth bar or thumb and maybe hooks or teeth for the...

Got my BX24 last November. Everything froze up soon after, so all I was able to do was snow removal for a while. Spring is here, everything is soft and I filled up the tank. I've been clearing my property of everything for a while. It's just overgrown, some nice tries, but alot of crap. I...

I like to grease all the fittings on my BX24 after every few hours, probably doing it more than I need to but no harm in that. Problem is- the two large pins the BH swings side to side on are very hard to force grease into. The lower one was blocked a few greasings ago, my cordless grease gun...

I have about $16k budget to buy a tractor. My intended uses are general landscape work at the ranch. Lots of trenching and digging. Driveway and trail maintenance. About 1/2 mile of dirt driveway and a couple of miles of ATV trails need fix every spring. Main project is to improve drainage...

I was wondering what a decent price on the 24 is with loader and backhoe but no mmm. I am in no hurry but am going to upgrade by the end of the year.

Has anyone broken off their ligth on the back corner mowing too close to trees or brush I've done it twice. Has anyone come up with a guard or does someone sell a guard for this turn signal 4way light????? PS I will send more detail pictures of the fender brackets and the way its mounts

Hey All, When I got home from work today my BX24 was sitting in my driveway with my grass collector installed from the dealer (they had it on back order when I got the tractor in Feb). There are no instructions. Is there something online I can get? Does this thing attach with the 3ph? I'm...

Here are some Pics of a front guard on the rubber boot to keep it from ripping when going through heavy brush with the BX it is made from 1 7/8 exhaust pipe.

I am in the process of buying a MMM for my BX24. What preferences do any of you have for 54" fine cut MMM VS normal MMM ???

Might anyone know of a method to measure the "digging force" of a backhoe bucket? Reason I ask is that my BX24 *seems* to not have as much "umph" as when it was new (about 108 hours ago.) I may be totally wrong, because the dealer checked the pressures and found everything was spot on normal...

This is my first tractor. Only used it like 20hrs or so in the late fall so far. First, do I need a bolt on cutting edge? Seems like a good idea. What are the pros and cons? I do have a box blade. But I plan to use the FEL a lot for some grading, digging and I have LOTS of rocks. Curious why...

I have decided to get a B2920, previously I have had a B1750 and L3010. The B1750 did not have quite enough power, almost bought a B2910, but went with L3010 instead. The L3010 was too big, too heavy to trailer. Now am going back to B2920 for the power and small size, good pto power, not size...

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...

I've got about 20 hrs on our new BX24 now and while moving some brush piles last week I managed to slice one of the rubber boots that cover the inner joint on the right tie rod. Called my dealer's parts guy this morning and they say the only way Kubota sells that boot with as an assembly with...

I am contemplating pulling out the fuel filter since some here have suggested that it might be responsible for my throttle problems. I was cautioned strongly about any fuel line service since it is supposed to be difficult to re-prime the system, but if you read the manual, it's as easy as...

The back end of my BX24 got away from me and ended up tipping the tractor over onto it's side.:eek: First the ROP did what it was supposed to do and no one was injured.:D It took approximated an hour before I was able to use my garage floor jack, tow strap and my truck to get the old girl...

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!!

Ok, I am in a conundrum and looking for input. I just sent this message to Messick for input, but I will solicit input here too: I have been on the forum for a few months now, and after much thinking, I think I am ready to make a tractor purchase. I was going back and forth between a ZTR and...

This may have been discussed before but searching on "bx24 hay bale" didn't turn up anything. Assuming I can find bale spears for my BX24 FEL, can this little beast pick up 4x4 or 4x5 round bales and move them from point A to point B? Not expecting to stack bales much - just pick them off a...

After setting over the winter, my tractor won't start. The battery has a good charge, but the starter won't turn the engine. The seat safety switch seems to be working ( I can hear the relay under the cowling clicking). Does anyone have any suggestions or have a copy of the wiring diagram for...

I have pretty much decided on the BX. There does not appear to be a huge difference in loader or backhoe specs and i am not opposed to renting a bigger unit for the occasional bigger task. To be honest I am going to mostly goof around with this in my yard and woods. I do have several small...

Which ones should I consider? I will probably not cut any grass with this but I will use it on my grass for many other things. I have many small stumps to dig up and alot of fallen trees to move around (after they are cut into 5' peices). Is there anything else in the same price range? Ease of...

Has anyone run more than one light off the factory wiring? Does it have a dedicated fuse and if so what size? I am trying to simplify my setup. I plan to run three 55W work lights up on the ROPS. I figure at the very least I could run the power to operate the relay off the factory wiring then...

I took a pic of it with my cellphone and if I can figure out how to post it I will later. I tried to remove it in the fall after I cut the tree down. The tree was only about 18 inches across but it really was wide at the ground level. I worked on it in the fall and there was absolutley no...

Please advise; I have been speaking with a Kubota dealer about purchasing a new BX24LB-R, we agreed on a price of $17,450.00, I asked him to send me something in writing and I get it and it has an item that reads: Total Additional Charges $674.68. I am really dismayed by this, I hope I am wrong...

Modify frame BX2350 to a BX 24 frame ! Can sombody help me with the specify drawing of the subframe from a BX24 => especially the picepart drawings ! I like to put a backhoe on the BX2350! Thank you in advance Zunnie17

I am purchasing a BX24 with a 60" deck. I will have to buy a trailer for this machine so I emailes Kubota about the total weight. Surprisingly they said that the BX minus the deck weighs about 1530. The deck adds another 200lbs. Does this seem right? I think that the bare tractor, no FEL and...

I only have about 9-10 hours on my BX24. Last Saturday I went out to do some work and decided to check the fluid levels. Everything was fine except the front axle was so low it didnt register on the dipstick and even when I stuck my finger in the whole I could not feel any fluid. I called the...

First off, I'm new around here....have been reading alot trying to learn what I can about the BX. I have ready many many good things about it but I have a few things that are still unanswered. To give a little background before I start, I'm in Georgia with mostly good ole Georgia clay, the...
