New BX25?

nh DRAGON · Aug 8, 2008

Well, According to the literature I have the bar tire is not an option on the 24. But it is on the 2350 and aren't they the same accept the back hoe sub frame?

Well I've put 40 hours on the BX25 and love it more every time I use it. Has anybody else got one on here yet?

My BX25 is on order and I am hearing that I may have it this Saturday.

Hopefully this Monday I will have my new BX25. It is very hard to wait the extra 2 days plus the grass needs cutting.

I thought about getting a mower deck but for the $2500 they wanted for it here in Canada I can get a pretty decent mower - I looked at a Husky. Then my girlfriend can do the mowing while I use the Kubota for digging and lifting. I don't want to keep taking of the backhoe to mow the lawn. I only have about an acre of grass though. I have a really old Mastercraft mower with a 46" deck that is still doing the job well enough. I'm going to repaint it Kubota orange as a winter task just for fun.

Hey, Pete, I just got my new BX25 here in Ontario, 12 days ago. (I posted in another thread about it as well.) So, you are no longer alone!

So what about your thumb? Is it just fixed, or can you move it, and how much was it, and how well does it work picking up rocks and logs and the like?

I've used mine maybe 5 hours or so, and I just love it, and so does evryone I meet with it. (In the WalMart parking lot on the way home from the dealer I actually attracted a crowd of admirers, with comment like "This would be my dream" "Nice new toy!" "Awesome!") Man, I could have sold tickets just to sit on it!

Anyway, it works great, is very powerful, and huge fun. I paid $18,050 Canadian plus tax, and they included the 3-point hitch as a matter of course. How much was yours?

I solved that by simply leaving the BH on my BX23 when I mow .

*I ought to load one of my BXs on a trailer and park it right next to the display tractors at Lowes TSC or HD.
This way people looking at tractors could see what a real tractor looks like.

I have 150 hours on my BX24 now and I absolutely love it. No regrets at all. I put the Brotek skid plates on after I got a stick in the fan and spent five hours putting a new fan in with my brother's help. I must have a couple things fixed under warranty. The hazzard light switch has died - water got in and the lights came on by themselves one night. Both front tires leak slightly at the rim bead. The ram that moves the hoe sideways has a damaged seal and seeps. I hope to take all these bits in without having to take the machine in.
