Has anyone found anything that actually will fit and stay put in that huge hole on the right side that Kubota calls a cup holder? I gave up trying to keep a water bottle there, no matter what it is, it flops around and winds up behind my seat.
Massive Cup Holder!

My little BX23D doesn't have a good cup holder either....it's not nearly deep enough to hold much of anything. Hopefully, one of the many geniuses on this forum will have come up with something. Meanwhile, I just go without until the task is finished.

Come on! You don't like how it perfectly gyrates your beverage all onto the floor.
Last time the boss and I went fishing on the coast, we walked into the marina shop to stock up. The clouds parted, and the heavens illuminated a path to this
Amazon.com: RAM Mounts (RAM-B-132-400U) RAM MOUNTS Level Cup 16oz Drink Holder with RAM Tough-Claw Mount RAM-B-132-400U for Motorcycle, ATV/UTV, Bike : Electronics
It grabs the bar on the right side door perfectly. Fits both my water cup & my adult beverage cup perfectly.
That huge hole is dead to me. Don't even put my phone there.
That huge factory hole is so one can fit a cup of noodles, or take-out fish eyes and rice. Some things the Kubota - Japanese have changed, other small things are still Asia.
@BBFarmer , I agree: Ram mounts are awesome, and the way to go. I have them on motorcycles, ATVs, SXSs and my Jeeps.
Be well. Tractor on. Baibai.

Or...a little less expensive idea...an expandable base cup holder: this would work for my BX23D and maybe others.

I can't find the link to them now but I bought some metal insulated water bottles from Walmart that fit just right in a koozie and the koozie fits just right in my cup holder.
The last time my beverage was gyrated onto the floor I was still in college (late 90s) and maybe one of best nights of my life.
If I would have had a tractor at that time, then I damn sure would have ended up in jail that night (I was lucky I did not as it was)honestly I’ve not had a problem with the cup holder…I normally take a water bottle or Gatorade bottle with me and they seem to stay out long enough they get luke warm in the sun. Have not lost one yet.
Here ya go. Magnet mount.

Find a piece of PCV or ABS pipe that fits in the massive hole to reduce the size of it.
I found a deep and wide stainless steel cup at princess auto for under $5, drilled holes in it and mounted it to the frame.
