    Old BX Mower, Aluminum Corrosion

    I have a 2006 BX23 with a 54" MMM. Yesterday I was cleaning off the underside of the deck and noticed the plate in the center under the gearbox which appears to be aluminum is fairly heavily corroded. Was this a common problem with this mower?

    B2601 or B2650...help me decide

    Been debating for some time now between a B2601 and a B2650. Currently have a BX23 that I use for mowing, loader and backhoe work, nothing else. But I'm finding I need more ground clearance, more of a traditional tractor stance (my BX gets muck absolutely packed all around the rear end every...

    Steering rack in front of axle

    I currently have a BX23 and am looking at upgrading most likely to a B2650. I just can't figure out why Kubota puts the steering rack on the front side of the front axle on all these tractors. I don't get into the brush with my BX and likely won't with my B, but if I did I just can't imagine...

    B2601 TLB and B2650 TLB lengths

    Anyone have either a B2601 with FEL and backhoe or a B2650 with FEL and backhoe that would be able to give me a length of the whole package? I'm looking at one of these setups to replace my BX23, but I'd like to be able to haul it on my current 16' trailer. Pretty sure the B2601 will fit...

    Digging with one stabilizer

    I'm thinking this is a bad idea, but just throwing it out there. I have a pole building and want to put in a french drain around it on three sides. I have a BX23. I'd like to get the ditch closer to the building than I can get with the stabilizer on the building side down. I figure that leaves...

    B vs BX Series

    I have a BX23 currently, bought it used about three years ago. I've done a lot with it, only thing is I frequently wish I had a little more ground clearance for the terrain I get into sometimes, wish I had a little more reach with the backhoe, and in general might like something just a little...

    BX23 Tie rod boots

    Hello, I've seen a lot of threads on replacement steering boots, but seems like a lot of them are a little older. Are these boots here good to go? Is there a different option I should be looking at? https://bxtractorparts.com/shop?olsPage=products%2Fbx-inner-outer-tie-rod-boots Discovered I...

    Looking for a trailer for BX23

    For those with experience, what length trailer is ideal for the BX23 and similar models? I'd like to keep the trailer on the smaller side without going too small for the tractor. I'd be pulling with a Tacoma (6500# tow rating), and actually I'm still researching whether that's really...

    Drifting hydraulics

    Picked up a used BX23 back in November. It's been sitting unused since I'd say mid to late December in a barn. Early last month I noticed the stabilizers had drifted down some. Is that normal? I had the FEL and backhoe on the ground so they wouldn't drift down. Didn't bother doing that with...

    Tooth bar price check

    I bought a used BX23 last November. The guy kept the tooth bar because he said he might use it on his next tractor. They went with a John Deere though and apparently have no use for the tooth bar. He contacted me and said he's selling the tooth bar. And I'd like to have one, but he wants $275...

    BX23 Transmission fluid level check

    I recently picked up a used BX23. The guy I bought it from last had it serviced with a dealer October 2014, at which point he had all the filters and all fluids replaced. In checking everything I've found the transaxle and the transmission were both low. Yesterday I added about 2 quarts of UDT...

    Backhoe operating question

    I picked up a used BX23 a couple weeks ago. I'm not new to utility tractors and heavy equipment, but I am new to running backhoes and this is my first SCUT. My question is, when lowering the stabilizers before digging, do you use them to completely pick the rear wheels up off the ground or...

    BX23 Leaking front axle

    Recently bought a used BX23 with about 600 hours on it. Noticed tonight there is oil leaking from the front transaxle. It's at the pivot point in the center of the tractor. The two ends by the wheels look dry. I don't know yet how bad it is. I wiped it all off and I'll see how fast it comes...

    BX23 Transmission fluid

    Recently picked up a used BX23 and this weekend in doing some maintenance checks I noticed that the transmission oil is off the dipstick. Normally I'm not one to buy manufacturer branded oil, but this is my first experience with an HST so I figured I'd play it safe and stop at a dealer to pick...

    Skid plate recommendations

    I just bought a used BX23 and I'm interested in protecting the underside. Someone on the forum recommended BXpanded's skid plate. I talked to a service guy at a local dealer today and he mentioned that name also, but said there are quite a few companies out there that make skid plates for these...

    BX23 and mud

    Hello, New to the forum and new to Kubotas. Just picked up a used BX23. I was just wondering, I noticed under the fenders it seemed like a lot of mechanisms are exposed. I don't plan on getting stuck or going through the mud a lot intentionally, but it's going to happen a limited amount. Am I...

    BX23 Price

    Hello, New to the forum and looking for a tractor. I recently bought some property and plan to build a house. I need something to mow grass, plow snow, and do some general utility work. I have quite a bit of experience with compact utilities, but no subcompact utilities and no experience with...
