A couple of small upgrades to the LX2620. Saw these on a Goodworks video. Made in Michigan, good quality welds, and fit like a glove. Seems the tie downs should have been something that came standard from Kubota. Shipped to AK quickly and at a surprisingly reasonable price...

I used an adapter for the top link. Works fine. At some point I planned to weld a new bracket lower on the box, but so far procrastination has taken over. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09JKH9GX4

You can find a decent ballast box on Amazon for under $200 delivered (if you have Prime). I filled mine with sandbags.

When I bought my BX25 they were offering a BOGO on attachments. I wanted the plow blade, so added on the forks as an afterthought. Really didn't think I'd use them for much. Turns out I was completely wrong and the forks got more use than either the bucket or the plow.

It's a lot less.

I bought an LX2620 to replace my BX25 last fall. With the ROPS up, the LX is actually about 5" shorter. You wouldn't suspect that just looking at them separately, but the tape measure tells the tale. Of course you're at a fixed height with the cab.

I first added the bolt-on Kubota cutting edge on the BX25, then the standard BXpanded tooth bar. That way I can easily add and remove the tooth bar just by the 2 side tabs without having to remove the cutting edge. https://www.bxpanded.com/piranha-toothbar

Of course, at 0ºF, you should be plugging in. It's been discussed before, but most battery maintainers aren't doing much of anything when it gets that cold. The real enemy of lead-acid batteries is heat. Batteries are simply chemical reactions, and the rate of the reaction is temperature...

It's all relative. We hit -50ºF a few days ago. This morning it's +5ºF. I'm wearing shorts right now.

Still have the original battery in my 2014 BX25D. Used year-round, ~950 hrs, no maintainer, it still tests in the green. Never gave me a problem.

Just bumping this up to see if anyone has gotten an answer to this since it was last posted?

My driveway is similar to yours, and I plowed for 11 years with my BX25D and the 60" blade/fixed pin.I also plowed three neighbors. The BX is light enough that it got pushed around a lot until I combined it with a 60" rear blade. I'd run the front blade a few inches off the ground and clean up...

The inspector approves last night's cleanup. I've been plowing the same area since 2000, and this is the first year I'm getting to the limit for stacking snow.

A few years ago, with my BX25, I had the same experience and it was the first fuel filter coming off the tank. It's tucked up underneath and I had overlooked it during regular maintenance.

Block heater and silicone pad heaters on oil pan and HST is standard equipment from the dealer here. Pad heaters are relatively cheap and seem to last forever.
