Yes,you wouldnt want the significant other to think you were enjoying yourself.Welcome to the Kubota Nation, you will love it I she the prior model & have been able to do things I never thought possible. Just take your time and think things through and try not to smile!
My dealer is ONLY ordering them with the quick release FEL and hoeGot my BX23 yesterday... been driving it around and doing some bucket work.. One thing I noticed is I didn't get the quick release bucket.. all of the videos and even the sales brochure show, or at least implies, it comes with the tractor.. Even the owners manual shows it... When I go to the back of the brochure is shows different FELs listed. One with and one without the quick release bucket. When I called the dealer he said most don't order it with the quick release.. What's the experience out there?
I'm a BX23s newbie too, mine is with the ssqd bucket. I was a little bummed that its capacity is less than your pin-on one, and bxpanded hasn't made their clip on hooks for the new bucket yet either. So I suggest you can enjoy the machine you have and don't sweat that particular "what-if".I called my dealer and he said most here don't order it with the quick release since it can't actually lift that much from the front end.. I probably won't take the bucket off but I still feel like I'm missing something, you know, it feels like I got short changed.. .. It wasn't offered to me and I didn't see the tractor until it was delivered. He had to order it... I think I'll just get bucket forks for moving small stuff around the ranch..
I did the same thing... i took the rebate... i already have a JD420 lawn tractor to mow my yard, but the ole JD is getting old, and you can`t get parts for it anymore. So thats when i thought it would be very wise to just get the 60" deck with my BX23s and just store it in my garage until i need it. I cant buy another lawn mower for what i paid for the additional 60" for the kabota, even if i dont use it for awhile. As for the drive over deck, i couldn`t see the extra money for that option when i have a frontend loader on the BX23s tractor... because you still have to move the deck when you remove it from the tractor, whether you drive over it or not.When I ordered my BX23S I sat down with the dealer and went over the pro's and cons of each option. Got the quick change FEL bucket as well. Haven't bought anything else to hang on the front but it's there when I do.
I also ordered the 16" backhoe bucket. Dealer has had a heck of a time getting it in stock, delivered tractor with a 12" loaner bucket. May keep it, it seems to be fine.
To get the rebate I added a 54" MMM but recently realized it wasn't the drive over model. At first I was miffed but then saw a video of turning the gauge wheels sideways to slide out the mower if needed. I guess that will work, too late now to change it anyway.
Love this BX, been doing a lot of property chores I had been putting off for years.
