Cool!

I can't wait for the next set of mods. I figure Wildfire will get hooked playing in the dirt and a new Mini-X will be next on the list.

No man. Can't do it. Just hired a contractor to put up a 14X20 shed to put the BX in. Three shops are full and already got two sheds and a shelter. If I keep going I think I'll be sleeping in a shelter.

LMAO,,, You one funny guy

Ok guys. Here's the video of the BX. Two hours to edit and 30 hours to upload. Its HD. The material might not be great but the video quality is good

Well this ends the thread for me. I said I'd keep it going until I got the video done and uploaded. You got to see the new BX25D sitting on the showroom floor to the time it was purchased and its arrival to me.
You also got to see some modifications that are unique to this machine and some never done before.

I have appreciated all your comments (well most of them) but I hope you got something out of it all like trying to do things with your own machines to make it unique to you. My mods aren't going to suite everyone's taste but there mods I wanted to do.

There still are a few other mods I'm going to do and have the parts on the way but I'll show them in a video some time in the future.

Time to take a break from posting and put this BX to work and keep it working for the next month or so. We got a lot of improvements to make to our property. I'd also like to thank Darcy and Todd at Newfoundland Kubota Ltd. You guys have always been great to deal with and thanks for storing the BX on the showroom floor all winter for me The Kubota BX25D have exceeded all my expectations.

Have a great summer everyone. Stay safe and happy tractoring.

Well I for one did enjoy the video and learned a few things along the way. First I learned I am probably way to damn tall to get on and off that backhoe. I'm 6ft4 and I saw how difficuly it was for you Paul. And secondly I see a design flaw from Kubota. The filler neck for the diesel tank looks like its in the worst place possible to refuel the tractor. Looks like a huge PIA with the handle bar ing the way...

 

[Wildfire]

Well today I got to use the BX for the full day. Cleared some pretty big rocks and about twenty stumps. Trying to get the area ready for another shed for the BX. I'm totally impressed with this machine. Yes. I even got it dirty

 

[skeets]

I am aghast,,,,,,, them lil guys is fun ta play with, aint they,,,lol

 

[Eric McCarthy]

YEP we now have documented proof of this monumental and historical occasion. Wildfire got dirt on one of this tractors! Bring back out the snow shovels gentlemen its about to get deep around here!

 

[Kubota_Man]

I think Wildfire has gone 'Bat-shit" crazy he is on purpose showing us a dirty Kubota Do we need to call the medics???????? I'm worried about you my friend from the Great North

 

[Wildfire]

Man it's worst now. I don't think I'll ever get it clean again. Well that's all I'm saying about it. My therapist said I'm not aloud to talk about it

 

[Bulldog]

Don't worry Wildfire, I promise the dirt will come off. I was feeling sick a while back after spreading chicken litter with my 9000. I was afraid it would never be the same tractor again, looks or smell. After 2 or 3 wash jobs it was good as new. Fear not my friend, your orange will shine again.

 

[Eric McCarthy]

I'll take dirt all day every day over clipping a skunk carcase like I did from the set of tandems on a dumptruck I was driving.

Drifted off to the side of the road a little bit and clipped that stinky with the outside tire about 10:30 in the morning and had to breathe that pleasant oder all day long YUCK.

Oh man I hope your right. When I get the job done it will get a good detailing that's for sure

Gawd! That must be awful! Would that have been the 4 legged skunk or the two legged kind? We only have the two legged ones on the island.

 

[Eric McCarthy]

4 LEGS! I'd probably end up in jail if I ran over a 2 legged skunk LOL
