[jcollins]

Kubota posted a recall on BX23 ROPS a couple of days ago check the serial number listing and see if it applies to your machine. If so contact the dealer you purchased your machine from and get it fixed!!!!! Saftey First! Because of the file size limitations I can not post the notice. I will try to get the notice posted to our website later today. Below is a list of the serial numbrs affected.

Is that on there website? I also wonder why the BX23 differs in design, ROPS wise, then the BX22?

Thanks for the post.
My serial # is in the 65XXX range and is not on the list. I purchased it in Dec of 04 and since I was told by the dealer that it wasn't on his lot a month that it must have been manufactured sometime in Nov 04. Must be units made in 05.

I wish they would modify the ROPS to fold a full 180 degrees tho....

good post! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

What gets me is that Kubota changed something in there process to do this. I know it was a weld process issue, but why did they chnage the process from the old BX22 to the BX23? Should have left it alone.

I agree the only 90 degree sucks at times. But my BX22 now only has the bottom part of the ROPS.
