Kubota BX25 or B2320

wdchyd-I noticed you have a 4Runner to pull your tractor. Does it have the V-6 or 8? How does it do pulling that weight. My wife's 4Runner will be doing pulling duty once I get a larger trailer. The current trailer is 5X13 with a single axle. I think the tractor will fit, but I am sure the TLB setup will be way too heavy.

With the 46 backhoe you could not, I didn't know you could with the 270 but that still doesn't mean that you should mow with the BH on. that is too much weight and sheer size to deal with while mowing.

I don't disagree that you shouldn't. It's just nice sometimes to not have to take it off if your in the middle of a project. I just wouldn't want to spend all that time taking the BH off just to mow the lawn real quick to have to put it back on right after if your in the middle of a digging project. I wouldn't recommend mowing with it if you don't have too though.

I have the V-6 in it....It pulls just fine with the 16' trailer......IIRC the 4-runner can pull around 5000# and it works great......

I'm sure a bigger truck would pull better but I like the mileage when not tugging around.....I just toggle off the OD

My boat is actually heavier and it pulls good too.....Maybe a little on the heavy side but does a good job none-the-less......

Haha. Guess I should have read the whole thread instead of just the question!

Don't worry. I've done that more than once.

Wdchyd, do you have any brake issues with your 4runner? Mine is starting to feel like it needs rotors and it doesn't do much more than take the wife to work and get groceries!

wdchyd · Jul 3, 2012

No, No brake issues......just turned over 70k on the speedo

actually not had any issues at all....(Knocking on wood)

I even have the original michelin tires, although they may be ready for replacement soon....

I have about an acre and need a bunch of stumps of varying sizes dug, oak sapling dug, good size drive way cleared of snow and I壇 like to do several retaining walls and dig a hole for precast steps. Was looking at BX23s, Mahindra Emax 20 ,22 and 25 , John Deere 1025r and LS mt125. But just saw a low hours 2320 with tlb and Curtis hard cab with heat for 15k. Now I am indecisive!
