When that day comes - expect to be replacing a hundreds of dollars of hydro hoses in the backhoe... ask me how I know...

Based on the other comments - this comment - and sleeping on it - I'm not gonna do this. Gonna stick with what I have and be happy. I think somewhere in here / sleeping last night I got to the point where I think the LX would be too big for mowing the yard and too small for other tasks...

The BX24 weight is 1542 and the LX4020 is 2,624 (both add the weight of a 60" deck - so I'd assume about the same increase 3-400#) So it is a bit more than a 1000# heavier... but the tires are a little wider - so I don't know that it would rut much more than the BX. Especially with the R14's...

Thanks for the replies. The main interest in even considering this is to get rid of an extra tractor / mower to maintain. So I'm not considering tossing the BX for a zero turn. The L is super comfy and really nice - but it just gets used so little I feel bad for it. I know there are times...

What would YOU do question: I have a 15 year old BX 24 with a 60" belly mower, the loader and the BH. Tractor almost exclusively now is a mower - haven't used the BH or FEL on it for years. Runs great, well maintained, nothing wrong with it. It gets used for cutting the grass and then sits...

Got my answers for anyone else in the future: GCK60-BX23 is designed to mount to the subframe that the backhose uses GCK60-BX26 is designed to mount to the 3PT hitch arms you can install on these smaller tractors GCK60-30BB is designed for bigger tractors in the B series if there are otehr...

Exactly what the title says. I have an older BX24. It’s got a 60” deck on it. Model rck60b23bx I can’t find a GCK60-23BX for it and it sounds like the newer models all fit the older tractors but what’s the deal with the -30BB Does this fit my mower?

I got the L4760 from the jump. Dealer had one and the price was right. 2 regrets - 1- should have gotten the rear remotes and the 3rd function when I bought it 2- didn’t exist when I got it - but wish I had R14s and not the R1s

For everyone here waiting who may need to install the kit themselves… it’s easy. https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/kubota-3rd-function-kit-install-lxx60-hstc-part-l2265.59390/

I did - Teflon tape - because all the factory fittings have that as well... (now watch people freak the F out even tho tape is used on all sorts of equipment around the world) I have also used the Oatly white.

The instructions are lacking in this area - and so is my writeup... because you can't mess it up. I think every single connector on the harness is different - and that makes it actually really easy to figure out when you get into the panel. You will see what goes where and then when you are...

You totally should - and send pics please...

After a bunch of farting around with this. And let me be clear. Some of the bolts to loosen on the loader mounts are NOT simple to get at. Anyhow - I think I have things more acceptable- kinda in the sometimes it appears level. Sometimes it seems still off 1/2”. I mean I lived with JT off by 2”...

Yup. It’s the OEM kit. Everything you need.

Ok. I measured. And I’m more confused. the left side of the bucket or snow blower is high by 1-2” the right rear axle center is about 1/2” higher off the ground than the left. Would that not be the opposite of what you expect. Especially since putting a 1/2” board under the right wheel (which...
