    Finally happened

    Had the one on our BX2200 rebuilt. I took it off and the machine rebuilt it for $65. The BX had just over 2000 hours.

    B2601 50 Hour Service

    When I got a price on the 50 hour service he said it would be $200 to $450. As we talked he said if they don't change the hydro fluid they just change the filter it would be $200 ($450 they changed all fluid). So I did my own and change the hydro fluids.

    Used BX25 Things to Look For???

    In march I found a new 2014 with 0.2 hours on it. The loader is a little faded but ... I got cheaper than a used one.

    Bx 2370??

    I know I am late responding but .... I have 6 Kubotas (all were bought new) which include BX2670 with FEL MMM (wife's) and a BX25D. The tractors are small but have a big heart. They will do almost anything you want if you have time. Our oldest Kubota is a 1983 G3200 with tons of hours on it...

    New to orange, sorta.

    We have a 2014 BX25D and 2014 BX2670 (my wife's) You will love the 25D. We use ours for everything. Now that you have your own you can find more uses than you can shake a stick at.

    BX-2370 - I'm seriously considering buying one. Need opinions.

    We have a BX25D and a BX2670 both with 60 inch deck and I think they are as tough as the old ones. we mow about 20 acres a week with the BX's. Either of the BX machines will mow side by side our L2600 with a 60 Landpride.

    Trailering my new BX25D?

    I use a 22 foot steel floor tandem axle car hauler for my BX25D. Before we got our 3/4 truck we had a Tahoe. I measured the ball height empty and as I loaded the BX I checked my height again. This will give you the best possible center of gravity for your BX and trailer. I think a 1 inch drop...

    BX2370 with Turf tires or R4s?

    We had a BX 2200 (mower only) with turfs and they were overall great. We traded for a new BX 2670 with loader and MMM with R4's. The R4's are just too rough to mow They have almost no flex so when we mow I adjust the air pressure down to 6 pounds in front 8 in back. In dirt or grass or dry...

    Mowing RPM

    We have BX25D and a BX2670 both with 60" mmm decks which mow about 15 to 18 acres a week. We mow at 2700 RPMs . At that speed the engines don't bogged down, and the fuel economy is better, But if we missed a week and the grass was high I would mow at higher RPM if needed. As for speed we mow as...

    School me on BX's

    We traded my wife's BX 2200 with MMM with 1800+ hours on it for a new BX 2670 FEL and MMM. The only problem it ever had was the power steering and it cost $94 to fix. We also have my "L" model that does the heavy work but within reason you will not be disappointed we aren't. In fact we tried to...
