Good for you Wayne. Happy to here everything worked out.
I've been reading this thread intently since I'm also waiting since early May. I've been promised my bx22 will be in the end of this week (tomorrow????????). Also looking to join the ranks of the Kubota owning\operating. Good luck with the new machine!!!! Do indeed post pictures when you can.

Good to hear you're finally getting a tractor. I was in the Purcleville dealer last Saturday and talked to the owner while he was giving me a check for my original deposit on the tractor I tried to purchase with him. He was clearly frustrated by the whole situation.
I still find it disheartening that Kubota can be so clueless as to the build and delivery schedules for their equipment. Even if they called the dealers after the equipment was put on a truck, we would have received more information even if it was only a day or so earlier. Also interesting that while we're being told that the only orders being delivered to dealers were for "sold" units, some dealers are still receiving them to go in to inventory, that is how I got mine as well, an unexpected BX22 arrived just as I called?
Well, glad to hear you're finally making progress and look forward to hearing more. I'm only at 8 hours now because of the weather but hope to get some more work done this weekend.
Good luck, dave.

Frederick Equipment delivered the BX this morning just after breakfast in the rain. (They told me to expect it by lunch time.) Everything in order. Salesman called halfway through the morning to make certain everything was going well. Painless.
Driver / service tech spent two hours with me and the BX in my garage teaching me where everything is, as I made notes and flagged the owners manual. Took the BH, FEL and MMM off and remounted all of them. Walked me through the 50 HR service requirements, and every grease fitting on the machine and all three implements. Paperwork was all in order and very clear.
No seat time today due to rain on and off all day, and thunderstorms this evening. Grass too wet to mow, but tomorrow is promising. Can't wait. I'll post photos as soon as I'm able. This thing really is the Swiss Army Knife of small tractors.

Glad to see you finally have the BX! I've had family in town all week for weddings, etc. so other than a few chances to have them check out my new tractor, no seat time but looking forward to some work today if the weather cooperates. Yard is still very wet here so will probably confine myself to digging out a couple of stumps in an area where tire tracks/ruts won't be a problem.
I'm getting a small rotary mower this week so that will be my project for next weekend and the first real reason to remove the hoe other than practice. Decided to go with the Rhino SE42 as I don't have a large area to mow and we also want some small paths in the woods near the house. Good luck.

I'll post the detail I have later this evening. Don't have the paperwork here at work, and don't trust my memory.

Here's the pricing. BX22TLB, bar tires, 4 position valve, 60" MMM, hydraulic front blade (with the subframe and skid shoes necessary for it) $17,590.00 To that I added the tooth bar for the FEL, welded chain hooks for the front and rear buckets, halogen lights on the ROPS, shop manuals and illustrated parts list, for an additional $550. Hope that's helpful for comparison.
