Is there a reason why I have 2 regular lug nut but 3 screw in type for my rear tires? Maybe I’m missing something but seems odd to have only 2 regular lugs. Just changed my tires for the up coming winter. Would be easier to mount the tires if I had all five studs sticking out of the hub. Appreciate some education on this. Thanks.

Because the early BX had 5 lug bolts and it was a huge pain to reinstall wheels and line up the holes. Kubota decided to add 2 studs to make it easier. Why they didn't do all 5 i don't know
It is easier to get the rim onto two studs. You can actually get them to line up without having to lift the wheel.

With more than two you will have to get them all to be aligned at once before you can get them started.

Well that makes sense. Sometimes takes another set of eyes to see the obvious lol
