Thanks all, silly issue for sure. I'll have to keep my butt in the back of the seat. Seams like a odd safety feature, to stall the engine when I'm not seated all the way back. Either way, if I ever get one, I'll be sure to keep this in mind. Seat was a bit beaten up, it didn't want to...

Long title but its to the point. In my quest to get a BX23S for myself, but yet under the gun for a project, I rented a BX23S ($219/day, rent 3 days, get it for 7 days, $150 for delivery, plus taxes. Extra charges if used more than 40 hrs on machine for a weekly rental, and if not returned...

Thing is, I need the backhoe portion as well. I have a zero turn for mowing, so that's not going to be the main use of the tractor. It will be used to move some dirt around, dig drainage trenches, a 12x20 foundation, bush and small stump removals, and new plantings. Then, over time, used for...

Ah, thank you. Though it makes changes easier, I've also heard that the mechanism adds a considerable weight to the front end, reducing the overall capacity of the loader's lift. Those changes seem to be a good upgrade, being able to stop and having less jerky reverse... and a metal hood. All...

If I were to be moving 1000s of yards of compacted clay earth, I may be a rednec... no, wait, wrong line. I wouldn't be looking at subcompacts, now would I? 👍 Perhaps some background: I have half an acre. That's it. Though I would like B2xxx TLB, THAT may be overkill and a PITA to move...

Question, what's an SSQA? Kubota only made the BX25D for two years. Maybe it was a transition model between the BX23 and BX23S? What's a good price for a BX25D? I am in CT so there may be a regional markup in my area.

Seller of the BX23S is shady. Reviews indicate he willingly negotiates and agrees upon a meet day/time, then ghosts buyers or sells the item to another while the buyer is traveling to meet. Doesn't make me feel all warm inside...

Where are you located, state wise? Seeing pricing for BXs in CT, they tend to go for the $17k to $25k range. But, then I see them advertised outside of New England and they are thousands less. So it may be regional pricing that is being missed here. They may be overpriced in your neck of the...

When compared to the other two, yes, the BX23 looks "well used", even though the hours don't reflect that. I'm not a fan of rounded hoods and such like the newer ones, but that's just cosmetics to me, I'd prefer the better bucket load functionality over looks. Though its good to know about the...

The newest model, as reported by reviewers of the seller, is being sold by a guy that promises to meet after negotiating a price, then ghosts the buyers, often selling while a buyer is commuting to exchange funds and pickup. Even if this is an awesome "deal", just that alone makes me feel like...

Still a rookie trying to figure these Kubotas out. Honestly, their model numbers and pricing are confusing. There are two local and one further away that are for sale and are of interest to me. I'm reading that each successive BX model builds on the prior, so I have to assume that the later...

Already have, just responding to the comment.

Video requested, none provided and he's seeing my messages but not responding. He may just not want to deal with me being an out of state buyer. The questions asked were based on what he's sold in the past, the comments left by reviewers and the background imagery in the video he posted (lots...

That's always the issue, isn't it? With any private party sale, you rarely get any recourse if something goes wrong, right? So in this light, it's the same either way, buying in person or from afar, same recourse.... none. Only difference here is the review in person, as you wrote, can I...

I don't think I wrote that it was, more that I am not sure. It hasn't been up for long, it caught my eye because it didn't look beat up and had relatively low hours (700+). Maybe the seller isn't responding to my questions because he has many other respondents to deal with who are local. I...
