I've got just over 400 hours in 4 years on my BX25. (Finally paid off this past February) I've done all required maintenance & have not had a single problem. Knock on wood! Wow, time really flies when you get older. I did once have a flat front tire, but it had a long thorn in it. I pulled it...

I'll be 68 this coming Sunday. I just bought a new crossbow 4 days ago because I can no longer draw my old 68Lb draw compound. (shoulder probs.) I can still drive the tractor & do more work faster with it at 68 than I could ever do while younger and tractorless. Life is good! Paul

Since it's at least 7 years old I personally would do the full monte. All fluids all filters, air pressure in tires, full grease & you are good to go!

Skeets, you're not alone. We put up over 120 jars of various tomato products like sauce, juice, whole tomatoes & salsa. Also we did pickles of assorted types, froze sweet corn, blueberries, pie cherries, & more tomatoes. We also dehydrated onions, corn, carrots, green & yellow beans & squash...

I use a 48" tiller on my BX25 without any problems. I think the 450 is a perfect fit.

I use floods. When I'm plowing snow, I'm looking right in front of the tractor. There is no need to see 150' out in the distance. Floods still give you a pretty good size viewing area not only out front but off to the sides also. Paul

The model # for a Kubota Ballast box BX and B series tractors should be: B8160

Be aware that the new PTO shaft may have to be cut to fit properly. Here is the address of a video that shows how to do that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vBFJcvs5SE

Yes, I have spun my BX25 1/4 way around one of those leaning trees once because it caught part of the ROPS. I have since sprayed roundup around the base of 47 trees of various sizes giving me a clear area far enough away so that it won't happen again when I mow. All large branches low enough to...

It's really easy to take the whole thing off/on once you know the procedure. Should take around 5 minutes. The secret to easy on/off is to take it off on a perfectly level spot. That way everything lines up easily.

Check to make sure that the PTO shaft is centered and doesn't have a lot of play swinging side to side. I had that problem and found that the PTO shaft coupler where it goes into the tractor would nick the stabilizer. It was especially noticeable when I raised my tiller and made a turn.

If you paid off early, you may be getting a partial refund on the cost of that insurance.

You don't "need" to use Kubota lubricants or filters if you can find compatible. Filter prices from Kubota are pretty competitive with other high quality filters. SUDT2 is a little pricey. However, would you want to use a HST fluid that is suitable for a tractor made in the 70's or 80's because...

If you get the BX you will immediately want to get a skid plate to protect the HST cooling fan. Bro-Tek or BXpanded both have them available for the BX2670. The B series doesn't have this vulnerability. Since you won't have a belly mower, the one from BXpanded may suit you more.

20 acres is going to take a while no matter what you use. I've got a 60" belly mower on mine and sometimes mowing just seems too slow. If I put it in high gear while mowing it seems to strain a little going up slight grades. I always go back to low gear pretty quickly. If you put a 72" 3 point...
