Does anyone know if there is a little bit larger Kubota compact tractor that will accept the BX backhoe?
BX backhoe fit any larger compacts?

good question. Not that I know of. the subframe seems too different to fit anything else.

The lack of discussion of it, (how to lengthen the stabilizers, gpm etc etc etc.) suggested that it's not being done. Thanks for the answer radioman!

Guess I gotta ask - why would you want or be looking to put a BX BH on a larger machine? Thinking about upgrading and bringing your BH with you?

Yes Chris that's the reason. Need a bigger tractor but don't have much more space in the shed....
The BX has ~460 lbs lifting at the FEL. I'd like to use it to put snowmobiles on a shelf (up/down) for example. Also to load logs onto a sawmill. It's almost enough for what I do but not quite. I'd like 1.5times or 2x the lifting power.

I've seen a post somewhere where a bx hoe was put on a different tractor if your a good fabricator I'm sure u could do it on the other hand you'll get more for the bx if u sell with the hoe gonna take a lot bigger machine to lift a snow machine up on a shelf with forks

Don't wanna do any fabrication except maybe extend the stabilizers. Looks like it aint gonna work.
Escavador,,,,,,you might be surprised...that I tested the BX24 to see how high it will lift a snowmobile on the brushfork; and it stalls at 4 feet high. Not high enough because I want to put my shelf at 5 1/2 or 6 feet high.

Have you checked your hydraulic system pressure? Adjusting it to the top of the range might get you the extra height.

What about a hoist? Any chance of mounting one to the ceiling? And I agree you should check your relief valve setting. Could even tweak it a little and go above max spec' pressure (about 1800 psi IIRC) and see what that does for you.
