Looking to buy fel for my bx

[Cardinalfan]

Hey guys,

new to the site and new owner of a bx 2370. I recently purchased this machine and would like to add a FEl to it. Wondering if you guys know any places I can find one for an affordable price! I saw “everything attachments” made one that would fit my machine but unfortunately looks like they are no longer available! Any tips and direction would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

It's a tough place you're in, I've been their myself, you're going to be told to sell it and buy a tractor that already has a FEL.

really ok well I don’t see that happening but thanks for the heads up!

For the simplicity - go to your local dealer, if they still get it, they will fit it with EVERYTHING needed and you will not have to be looking for parts here and there.

It appears you have a ten year old tractor. The official Kubota loader for that one is an LA243A. Your dealer is unlikely to have one in stock and they may no longer be available. There are after market loaders by Koyker and others which may fit. You were advised to sell the tractor and buy one with a loader due to cost. I don't think you'll touch a new loader for under $5000 and good luck finding a used one.

Yep.......dat be de truth......
Sell it,..... and buy the tractor that you want, with the FACTORY loader attached.
Anything else will simply be an expensive compromise.

Does your tractor have the loader mounts and hydraulics for a loader?

While your BX2370 pre-dates it, during COVID, many tractors were sold with those installed.

Thought worth asking the question. It does change the recommendation about what to do.

It does have the hydraulics but not sure about the mounts.

curious, went to Messicks and they post prices for all the parts..bet it ads up pretty fast though !
might be worth the effort to see what the 'bottom line' is .

couple BX2370 with loaders on Kijiji here, about $20000 CDN,one has rear snowblower as MMM

Take a few pictures of your tractor showing the hydraulic couplers if you have them. Also show the left side and the right side view from the operator seat forward to the front of the tractor. If we see pictures of what you have then we can make better recommendations for you.

Here are a few quick pics I took! Sorry couldn’t get the right side as the battery is dead and I didn’t have time to pull it out of the shed! If you need different ones let me know and I’ll make it happen! Appreciate all the help guys

From what I can see in the pictures you have just the hydraulics for the FEL but none of the mounting hardware or even the joy stick. IMO, it would not be cost effective to locate and install the necessary hardware to mount a FEL. Sorry to break that news to you.

If you can talk with the previous owner maybe you can locate the hardware. If the previous owner removed the hardware to make it just a lawnmower, they may still have it and you can reassemble it. Good luck in your endeavor! I honestly hope that you can find the necessary parts to make it the tractor you want.

Here is an idea:

la344 fit bx2360?

will the la 344 bolt on a bx2360?

That was a great find. The OP has a BX2370 and the link you provided is for a BX2360 but I would almost bet that the frame holes would be the same on both of those models. It certainly seems worthwhile to do the research to find out.

Try ansungusa.com, check their model B2405. I have a model 2150A for my MX5100 and have used it for over three years and very satisfied.
