BX 25 Is there a cover that will cover everything including backhoe?

[Joe.G]

Hi,
I would like to get a cover that will cover the whole tractor for the times I may need to leave it outside for extended periods. My large equipment I don't worry about it as they have cabs or sit in one of my pole barns. The BX I tend to lend to family or friends and it may stay outside for a couple weeks at a time in all kinds of weather. I would like to find a cover that will cover the machine with the back hoe on.

Tarp...

Rule #1
Do not loan your equipment to family and/or friends!
They may even add gasoline to your diesel tank!

Lol When I give to family I fill it both ways, I don't mind . I don't want to use a tarp, I try to keep everything around my place neat. I am going to be building a new saw dust and barn, I'll add onto that for some storage. It is amazes me at time how buildings fill up.

I have never seen a "pre made" tractor cover.

However, you might consider going to a local "boat canvass" place for a custom one.

Probably a wee bit costly though.

For the first year, I used a tarp.
After that for the next ten years, a Cover-It. Neither dealt with the humidity of Virginia and it was not uncommon for the machine to be soaked and mud wasps all over it. I finally built a proper building.
But the tarp is the quick and cheap 'better than nothing' solution.

Assuming 'storage' is at 'family and friends', they should buy/install a small steel tubing/vinyl roofed 'carport' at their place. It's a small price to pay for the free use of YOUR Kubota !
You could buy one and store it in the loader bucket, when delivered, it gets assembled 'on site'.

25 years ago, friend loaned me his KX41 mini ex for 6-8 months.... I spent $500 and made a proper 9by12 'tractor' shed from 2by4s,plywood, and tin roof. Once the mini ex was returned ,'other stuff' filled up that shed.....

I certainly do know that.
I have a 36 x 48 ft steel building, and it is full.
Adjacent to that one, I have a 40 x 50 ft. wood building, and it is full also.
I store nothing outside.
