    BXpanded Sprayer BX25D

    Has anyone purchased the spraying set up for the BX25D that is sold by BXpanded? Looking for feedback on this item to see what your experience/satisfaction level is with it, was it worth the money? They seem spendy and they charge around $80 to ship it....just looking for feedback. Thank you.

    Replacement BX seat

    I have a 2014 BX25D and I got a 10" wheelbarrow inner tube and filled it about 3/4 then put it under the seat. Under inflating it will keep your dead-man switch from activating. It really does help and is a nice workaround if you can't afford a higher-end seat. I have had 6 spinal procedures...

    50 Hour Service-BX25D

    Looking for some advice from all of you seasoned owners out there. I'm coming up on 50 hours now on a 2014 BX25D. What are the must-do items vs. the items that are nice to do but not critical to the health of my tractor? What brand names for fluids (oil/hydro) do you suggest while controlling...

    BX25D Shut Down Sequence-BH Removal

    I think that having contacts on my eyes may have actually helped in my case to prevent worse damage. The point is well taken though! Perhaps even more important than anything in my post is the fact that I was not wearing safety glasses to begin with......I have learned a very valuable lesson...

    BX25D Shut Down Sequence-BH Removal

    I learned a valuable lesson over the weekend that I'm sure all of the veterans of this site already know (probably anyone that owns a tractor with any attachments knows!)....but since I'm a brand new tractor owner I had to find out the hard way. When removing the backhoe to use the 3-point I...

    Level Indicator Placement

    Just wanted to confirm that Ken does suggest mounting on the OUTSIDE of that level indicator. He has the Kubota installation video up on his website.

    Level Indicator Placement

    Mork, I recently installed a set of Ken's Bolt-On Hooks with clevis loops beneath them on the FEL on my own BX25D. I was also concerned about placement with regard to that level indicator. I ended up mounting the hook on that side just inside of the level indicator, butting it up against it. I...

    BX25D Has No Power Climbing

    Much better using low gear. Since my original post I have gotten in the habit of using it that way about 95% of the time. Now I have no problems going up and down hills, over rough terrain, etc. It even helps when it comes to using the blade to push things over, smooth down piles of...

    Thank you Daren

    "It'll never happen to me..."

    Very glad you didn't get hurt or that your tractor wasn't damaged worse. Thank you for sharing this experience. As a brand new owner of a tractor myself (also have about 10 hours) I constantly find myself in situations that really shake me up. Up until a couple of days ago I didn't even know I...

    BXpanded Bucket Hooks vs. Welded Hooks

    Thanks I will measure it today using your recommended method with the framing square and then place an order tomorrow. I like the idea of bolting something on rather than welding it (especially on a subcompact like this) and I think they look better than the BXpanded hooks, too. Will be in touch.

    Other Tire Options-BX25D

    I have two sets of tires on rims that I bought from Kubota with the BX25D: the turf tires and the AG tires. I'd like to know if there any other options out there for more aggressive tread patterns for the BX series that are available--if so, where can they be purchased? It would be nice to have...

    BXpanded Bucket Hooks vs. Welded Hooks

    Ken, do you know by chance what size spacer I need to order if I'm using your hooks on the FEL for my 2014 BX25D?
