Hello all,
I just plunked down some money on a brand new Kubota BX23. Yes, I’m excited!
I will use this rig for landscaping and ATV trail work, snow removal with the FEL, York raking, rough mowing, building site prepping, and some wood lot work like log skidding, hauling trees around, etc.
I chose the BX23 primarily for its size, particularly with respect to the trail work I intend to tackle, as there are miles upon blissful miles of it. I live in the White Mountains of NH by the way.
The Kubota dealer (Wescott & Sons) will roll some attachments into the 0% financing deal and I'd like to get a few implements to go with the hoe & loader that come stock. Advise on any of this would be most appreciated as this tractor requisition episode has been quick and I’ve got to react on the implements within a few days for it to be part of this deal.
The tractor is $16,000 with loaded AG tires, 3 point hydraulics, setup, delivery, etc. and no sales tax since NH is the “priced as marked” state. He’ll also throw in the upgraded alternator and installation if I buy an attachment or two. Does this sound like a fair price?
Wescott is offering me the following new implements.
Woods RCC42 42” rotary cutter for $895. Is this a good unit? Good match for the tractor? Rugged? I’ll be mowing wooded meadows (weeds, small saplings, grass). Plenty of surprises like rocks and old beaver stumps too.
Woods LRC60 Landscape rake w/ wheels for $695. Is this rig rugged enough for trail work. How about really boney gravel like soil?
Kubota canopy described as the same top as on a B21 less the front two posts for $425. He couldn’t produce a picture of the canopy mounted so I’m really not sure about that item. One of those TuffTopps might be better since it can be taken off more easily. If the canopy is long enough to cover the steering wheel, I would imagine the ROPS will be just as tall when its folded back with the top. Plus how much would it end up weighing?
Thanks for any insights. I’ve really enjoyed researching this purchase here even though it’s only been a few days, and hope to contribute more to the site once I get this rig in a week or so and get some time on her. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Thanks!
