SkyPup said:378 hrs on the 2005 L-39 TLB all severe duty with no problems. Never been anywhere for any service of any kind. Just keeps on chugging! And it does manage the huge stumps well too!!!
That is a very unique picture!!!

1232 hours as of last night on my 2003 BX2200.
Picked up my BX new in October of 2003 with less than one hour on it. It is the tractor for my barrel train that I use on weekends and evenings for parties at homes, schools, churches and such. My Dad uses it with a 4' BB, 4' farm king shredder, SB plow and 4' disk for his 3 acres. I say he uses it when there are no parties on my schedule. Turf tires are mounted and we have ag tires to use when extra traction is needed. Went through the fuel tank leakage thing and it was fixed with the kit that we installed. All other problems with this tractor have been operator errors caused by me; such as water in fuel, blowing fuses by adding lights to the circuit and other minor acts of thoughtlessness. This tractor continues to amaze me with its' stamina and power. I love it! Hope to get a BX23TLB someday.
Note- wish Kubota would come out with a chrome belt buckle with the stylized "K" like the one on the front of the hood.

I bought my BX 2200 in April, 2000. It has 1042 hours on it. It is used for about 80% mowing and 20% FEL work, mostly plowing in the winter. I have had all the usual BX problems (fuel gauge sending unit, air cleaner bracket) and I have to replace the power steering hoses. I could not be happier.

BX23 with 230 hrs. It will be two years old this month. Will probably have a cake. It has been used for grading a 450' drive and spreading processed stone and gravel. Landscaping, including leveling land w/ box blade, adding topsoil & raking w/landscape rake. Dug a few drainage trenches. Plowing snow. Many stumps, some small, some fairly large. Too many rocks to count, some much bigger than I thought a BX23 could ever handle. Where I live you can't stick a shovel in the ground without hearing a clunk, which is the biggest reason I got the tractor. I do not have a mower on it, mowing done with wheel horse.
I am very happy with the machine, no regrets on it's purchase. Only problems were one flat front tire, and the air filter bracket broke (of course).
