What are some bx tractors owners logged hours

[AceDeuce]

~400 on my 1500 now. Should expect 4000 or more with good maint.

 

[JBX]

2145 hours!
My BX2200, bought new in 2002, still running strong. Wahoo!
On my second pair of rear tires. Note- I would still be on the original Titans on the rear but caught a jagged piece of metal last year that ripped a hole that was beyond patching.
On my 4th pair of front tires.
Installed 3rd seat early this year.
The only problems I have had are the ones I caused, i.e. water in fuel, hitting a chuck hole and breaking a steering strut, flat tires, the usual.
Using Mobil 1 for oil changes, even using bio-diesel to 5% as allowed by Kubota. Bio makes the exhaust smell better.
It still purrs like a kitten, does the job and still having fun!
My goal is to get a BX25 in the New Year, when I pay off my truck note.
Yep, and keeping my 2200 too.

750 hours on a BX23 here. Very HARD hours in Texas heat, rocky soil. I flog the crap outa this thing.

Routine maintenance. One leak on loader lines. Diff lock got stuck under warranty. Air cleaner bracket breaks every 200 hours. Bunch of flats. Have smashed tail lights, ROP's knobs, cratered my hood, broken 3-4 turnbuckles.

I love this tractor

Did some research in another thread and found a table of expected lifetimes for diesel equipment. For residential use it is hard to wear out a tractor. The rubber parts will go bad whether machine is used or not, so get in that seat and have a blast!

About 560 hrs on my bx1500, purchased new in March 2005. No problems so far.

JBX you are the man!!! Lots of folks say they will last but you aren't just talk. My BX1800 was traded in when I clocked 1200 hours on it. No real repairs to that point. I knew it would required some minor maintenance that I prefered someone else do. I wonder how many hours it'll chalk up before the end?

335 hours on my 2004 BX23 so far. Two broken air cleaner brackets and two flat tires. Otherwise it runs great.

 

[rexcramer]

27 hours on the BX, 7000 on the Case 580, and I run big equipment at work with over 20,000 hours, some over 30,000, that are still pretty tight machines.

Since the Kubota wants things to be maintenance free and does not use very many grease zerks vs sealed bearings and joints, I expect a few things to start to wear out at about the 10-15 year mark.

This machine will outlast everything else I own right now, thats for sure

BX2360 New Mar 4 09 now with 105hrs not to bad for 14 weeks of use..

 

[JOHNTHOMAS]

My fourth BX which is a BX2660 has 1 hour on it so I guess I have many, many hours ahead.

 

[SCtractorguy]

My BX2230 is up to 408 hrs and its all mowing. No loader on it. I'm the second owner.
Starts and runs fine mows better than any lawn tractor I've ever had..
