bx 1500

[JBX]

In regards to the "maddening" fuel issue; I also used to have fuel issues on my 2003 BX2200 with over 1200 hours. I am still using 5 gallon fuel containers to refuel. In the past, even being as careful as I could be, would seem to end up with water and "floater junk" in the fuel. Was always having to change fuel filters often. Even put on an aftermarket inline "water trap" filter to clean it up, but still had problems. Finally, made a promise to myself to always filter the fuel while pouring into the tank, using a "Mr Funnel" or similar water & fuel filter. Can honestly say that I have had no problems since. It worked for me. No, I am not selling Mr. Funnel, just FYI.
Goodluck,
JBX

Thanks for your meaningful helpful reply.
***********************
I've got a bx1500 on order.
Here's what I've run into trying to get a front blade for it.
Started out with these three options:
1*NEW 54'' Manual angle blade $1400.
2*New Hyd angle blade $1900
3*used Hyd angle blade $1500
I originally went with #2
Later I changed my mind and changed to #3 to save $400.
Next thing happened is when the dealer got the used tractor in with the used blade the blade was a piece of junk so we couldn't use it.
Next step we decided to go with a new Blade, but when the dealer went to order it we fond out that Kubota don't offer the Hyd angle on the 54'' blade for the bx1500.
Where am I now?_ The dealer has ordered the 60'' Hyd angle blade for a bx2230/2350 and hopefully it will fit and work on the BX1500.
This is why I'd like to converse with other BX1500 owners who have a front blade on a BX1500 to see what kind of issues others might have had in getting a front blade for a bx1500 and how they solved any problems in doing so.
This is a serious problem I'm having concerning this and I need serious dialog not snide remarks and sarcastic comments.

If you go shopping for a front blade for your BX 1500 please keep me posted on your experiences when you do so!!

Digging up old threads again.

How many times are you going to ask about a front blade, you would think if you haven't gotten your answer by now that your just going to have to find out for yourself when you finally get yours.

I don't understand the problem, an imaginary front blade will always fit an imaginary BX1500 or so I imagine.

Just got the following e mail from the dealer earler today.

Hi
We are all ready to go.
The blade is on the used tractor and the driver was
thinking about heading your way tomorrow.
Would that work for you?
I have
attached a pic of the new tractor.
Total with the new blade is $15600
delivered.
However, your payments actually went down because I was able to
finance the full amount of the blade at 0% for 36 months.
Thanks.

In the last e-mail I got yesterday Brady said the driver had already left.
Barlow Equipment should be unloading them here some time today.
Plan to take loads of picture of the delivery.

Did you go with the 60" hydraulic blade?

 

[LBrown59]

Did you go with the 60" hydraulic blade?

Yep 60'' Hyd lift and Hyd angle.
I was treated good by the dealer on this blade.
I was going to go with a used one for $1500 in order to save $400 on the deal.
As it turned out the used blade wasn't any account so the dealer ordered a new one and did not increase the package price.
Basically I got the new blade at the used price.
A new 54 '' blade without the Hyd angle was 1400.
````````````````````````````
Both tractors arrived here today and were unloaded off the Rollback truck around 12 or 1 o'clock.
The 60'' new blade on the used BX1500 is great and worked fine and the new 48'' tiller is a dandy.
I should have bought this out fit a year ago instead of the Cub Cadet GT2554.
Not knocking the CC; it's a great garden tractor but that's all it is.

I mowed about a third of my yard with the new BX1500.
In less than 10 minutes I knew I liked it much better than mowing with the CC GT2554 with manual steering and a manual lift mower deck. (I catch on quick don't I? )

I don't need to help someone who doesn't help others, posts the same question about the same thing in every thread and ******* when someone questions you.

Time to grow up brown.
