If you could what would you change

[Big Bri]

So if you could tell engineers something that need to be changed about your bota what would it be. . .



For me it would be a LARGER fuel tank, i can only get 6 hrs on my rig.

and i don't like the oil fill plug. . . you would think it would screw on

and i don't like turning 2700 rpms to get full pto

The Kubota engineers have already addressed my main concern (the built in reverse "feature") on the BX 50 series with the 60 series. A separate non-digital RPM/hour meter would be nice.

But I hate filling up the bigger fuel tanks, it drains my fuel drum too fast ;-)

A bigger tool box.

Put a spring on the PTO shield so it will stay out of your way when trying to get coupled up (NH does this, it's nice).

They already improved the fuel tank on the M5040 vs. the M4700. I hated having to climb up over the loader arms with 5 gallon fuel tanks.

OTOH, the 3 pt tilt adjustment on the M4700 could be worked from the seat. Seems that on newer tractors, you have to climb down and get in back to adjust it.

Why put a folding ROPS on a tractor then the exhaust stack still sticks up to almost the same height? What good does that accomplish?

One feature I love on my KX mini excavator: when filling the fuel tank, it beeps faster and faster as you approach full letting you know when you have a full tank That's nice!

I'd like some kind of storage for tools and a place to carry yard tools like a shovel and rake. (with or without the FEL and back hoe).

I really don't like removing and replacing the MMM. It seems like the drive over feature would help. I wonder if JD has a patent on it.

The independent brake setup on the same side as the drive pedal might need another look...

AC it's hot here

for the BX23, 24, and 25 to come with a skid plate on the bottom to protect the rear drive shaft fan . And for me not to have to run full 3500 to max out top end speed .

Yes a separate hour meter that is always displaying while the tractor is running.

1*Get a pump set up and toss the cans.
2*Brilliant.

Some indication that the brake is set (light or beeper) so I don't drive away with the brake set. Also the tilt steering wheel lock lever (on B3030) mounted a little higher up so I don't unintentionally hit it with my foot during operation.
