I have a 2001 Kubota BX2200 with a front loader that I bought to play with and end up actually doing a lot of work with - I am glad I bought the back saving loader! We live on a large 3 acre lot and I was tired of the Snapper mower breaking down - someone suggested I buy a sub-compact tractor. I was hesitant with the price difference, but very glad I did. I was able to sell my walk behind tiller and now use a Brush Hog tiller with my tractor. Life is getting easier, except for the leaks in the front and rear not sure if they are lines or seals? That is why I joined the site, a little trouble shooting assistance. I have changes every hydraulic line on the tractor and one on the loader. The lines were extremely tight when removing and I plan on double checking my connections, but I might have to make a special wrench for some of the tight locations? When I get more time I will investigate the forums on the web site. For now hello??
