Kubota BX25 4-point hitch needed???

[Riptide23]

Jeez Harry, I like that hitch thing too. You say it doesn't have to be removed when putting the BH or 3PH on?

That might be handy, as I have a big "hitch-haul" platform I use on my Expedition to carry things too big for the truck, but too little for a trailer. That would make an excellent addition to the tractor...

As an aside, I'm gonna put your forks to their biggest test Monday, when my new fireplace insert is delivered, and I'm gonna have to carry it around the back of house, and put it on the back deck. I estimate the load will be around 500 pounds. The forks will handle it, but I don't know if the loader will lift it. Your video shows you carrying the BH, so I figure the FEL should be up to it...

riptide, it should lift it. i moved a decent sized woodstove for my father recently and it lifted no problem. just keep it close to the bucket.

Does anyone know of a vendor that has a four-point hitch I can put my 2" receiver bar into on my BX25 Kubota? If it were to mount to the lower 2 hooks of the four point mounting and then the top link of the three point mounting or the top two mounts of the four point I could have a fixed trailer ball without having to get out the three point arm and all the other pieces.
BXpanded mentioned they use the hitch they offer with the "carryall" for many things but I do not feel it's secure enough only resting on the bottom plate and pined at the top link to move my trailer accross a slight incline that I need to go sideways on to get my trailer to the driveway. BXpanded said they were working on one but I am in need of one now.

This is how I soved the problem. I purchased a bumper mount class 3 Reese receiver for a pickup bumper )cost 38.95 from TSC. I removed the Kubota drawbar plate by removing the 4 mounting bolts. The class -3 receiver two front (that is as the drawbar is mounted to the BX - the front being toward the front of the tractor) bolt holes mount without modification to the two front drawbar bolt holes on the BX 24 or 25. I used the drawbar plate as a template to file (round file) out the rear two class-3 receiver holes and once completed, used the original Kubota bolts to mount the class-3 receiver. Mount it on top - not under the tractor frame. Then use a class-3, 6" lift and purchase a trailer ball that has both 2" and 1 7/8" ball kit. I have made this modification to both a BX-24 and BX-25 and am able to tow up to a 16' double axle tralier around my place. I also use it to reposition my 27' Airstream.
