Broken Fender / Floorboard

[JTwillie]

Here is a picture of the break. This will be covered under warranty and Kubota is looking for a lasting solution. In the mean time, make sure you climb on your tractor by placing your foot toward the front of the tractor.

Oops!. It's a BX24.

Mine is broke up by the grab handle bolt. It appears that the only support is up at the bolt for the handle. The fender pulls down where yours broke up to the handle where mine broke.

JT, my break looks identical to yours. Also a BX24.

Do I see things right here, on your picture the fender/floorboard seems to be in plastic?

I'll second that question... a plastic operator's platform? If true it's very dissappointing.

I looked at the new BX's while I was at the dealer a few weeks ago. There are several areas where Kubota has made what are in my opinion, negative design changes. One of those is the thickness of the three point hitch subframe and drawbar. My older BX1500 has a much stouter 3PH than the new BX24. Maybe it's overkill, but hey?...

I'm almost positive that the floorboard itself on my BX2350 is metal, not plastic. The fenders are plastic, and seem to be very solid. Certainly more so than the metal fenders on my brothers 1 year old B7510....

They just don't make plastic like they used to.

Exact reason that I'm glad that I have the "old" model BX2200...STEEL vs. plastic in critical areas..floorboard, fenders, hood,mower deck shoot.

The Floor Board is metal, the Fenders are plastic.
