Congrats!!

Don't forget an aftermarket skid-plate if you will be working in the woods at all. I have the BXpanded one myself, and have been very happy.

I second the skid plates!!!!

Frank,

I ordered a Type II Justrite from Amazon today,

congrats on the new machine!

anyone with experience (good or bad) mixing diesel and galvanized cans? i know you're not SUPPOSED to do it, but most people say they see no issues. may the ultra-low sulfur fuel is low enough not to create much issue?

i did find one mention of a negative experience HERE.

i'm using junk plastic cans. really want to move to metal but for the cost, not if they have issues. why don't they line the cans???

Congratulations they really are nice little tractors. Most who have not actually used one underestimates them.

I agree on the skid plates, I like Bro Tek as the rear one can stay on with the MMM while BXpanded must be removed; our fan was broken while the MMM was attached, so don't depend on just it for protection.

I also added Hodge stabilizer bars, Bro Tek wheel spacers and BXpanded rear trailer hitch and on one an aftermarket grill guard from: Fab Works OEM | Kubota Attachments

Never, ever keep gas cans in the same area as diesel, wife and grandkids will eventually forget yellow and red; trust me.

my new bx 2670 has fan protection on it from the factory

They did an upgrade a few years ago, but the ones I've seen are still too vulnerable for me, as mentioned an errant stick made it past my MMM which is usually considered to be good enough protection. I may just be overly cautious though and yours may well be fine.

Like this?



It's standard on all the BX's I've seen, from 2011 to newer. There are some pretty large gaps still, as you can see.

Ya...You have to look hard for some of the improvements over the years. Brake pedal changed, different tach, new seat, steering wheel etc. I added cab with lights, chains, and juice in the front tires but feel the Kubota people know how to build a good technological machine. A lot of after market parts are for guys who like to tinker.

wow that hydro filter looks like it's placed in a prime spot to be ripped off or punctured. do any of the shields cover it up?

Yes, thw Brotek and others cover all of that.
