Check the fuses under the hood. Near the firewall if I remember correctly.
I had one blow shortly after I bought my B3200. A wire going to the switch under the seat was pinched and caused a short.
If you had to replace that many parts on a BX25D in 940 hrs, I must be a hell of a lot easier on my tractor. I have yet to replace a single part on my b3200. I have about 700 hrs on a 2013.
They must have changed something on the newer ones. I removed and cleaned the trans screen on my 2013 B3200 without removing the backhoe. It was tight but can be done. Have about 300 hrs on mine with zero problems. Great machine!
Set your brakes and curl your loader bucket so the cutting edge is biting in [as when dumping]. The stabilizers are not enough to hold tractor still when doing heavy work.
I had mine stuck so bad that I had to use a friends backhoe to dig it out. It threaded in beside a large tree root. I'm sure a large rock will cause the same problem. With any luck you can find a young person who needs some spending money to did it out.
My dealer loaded the tires on my b3200 with a bh77 hoe before they delivered it new. They use windshield washer fluid. Does not freeze or cause rusting. Lots cheaper than antifreeze.
My neighbor traded his John Deere on a Kubota after trying my b3200.
His main reason was the 3 range hst. He said he was never happy with the Deere 2 speed. Always too fast or too slow. I use mid range about 90% of the time.
As for the hst vs.gear. I've had both and prefer the hst. I have a...
If you have any doubt about your fuel quality or if it is going to be cold enough to gel, add a dose of fuel conditioner. It's not going to hurt a thing if you don't need it but it's a pain in the butt if you end up with gelled fuel. I use Howes year round.
Kubota Ins. cost about $1.00 a thousand per month. My insurance agent looked over the policy and said he couldn't come close. Mine cost $28 dollars a month on a 2013 B3200 with backhoe.
After you flush out the RV antifreeze in the spring pump a mix of 1/2 cup bleach to gallon of water through the lines. It will remove any foul taste from the anti freeze and sanitize the lines.
Not sure if I would want to pull a trailer with my backhoe with the one that BXpanded makes. Sure looks like a good way to bend a hydraulic cyl. I have moved my 2500 lb dovetail with my front loader with out any problems.
I had to fight to get the pto shaft off of my b3200 the first few times I used it. It is easier now that the splines have a bit of wear. Lube it good before ya use it next time.
Good call on the rops lowered to clear my garage door. 3inches to tall for my doorway. It's only a matter of time before I forget to put it back down before I put it away.
