Strengths I have the new BX 25. No more plastic, all metal. The guy complaining about the warranty must have a bad dealer. Read your coverage!! I did not want it either but it is very very compr4ehensive. No pro-rating for replacement. Even if you do something dumb (like I tend to do), it's covered. Machine is small but powerful.

Weaknesses None so far.

Overall Awesome price. Kubota makes it easy offering te 25 with a backhoe and loader, unlike the green guys with build your machine and get a quote. I paid 16790 including an optional Lanpride auger and the aforementioned insurance.

Strengths I really like I really like this tractor. It is perfect for our 3.5 acre place. The tractor seems to be well engineered and has plenty of power for my use.

Weaknesses None so far.

Overall I'm glad I did not buy a larger tractor. This size meets all my needs. I'm looking forward to many years of use. I bought locally and have had a very good buy experience from Ag Equipment in Uvalde, Tx. You can't beat 0% intrest!

Strengths Compact, great for small places. Easy to operate.

Weaknesses Kubota warrenty is useless, unless you deliver your machine to them. Which is hard to do when it is broke down. I have 31 hours on my machine and it caught on fire. I was using the back hoe so all the stabilizers are down and the bucket is down. Dealer is going to charge me travel time to and from to diagnose and again to and from to go get the parts. Plus labor, the warrenty will cover the parts, thats just great, so out of a $1000 repair bill they will cover $200

Overall When its working it does a good job for its size, I couldnt use anything much bigger.

Strengths Excellent tractor for the size. Easy to move in and out of small areas. Strength of tractor is great from Loader all the way to the backhoe. The 60" Mid Mount Mower cuts like a dream. Many additional possibilities.

Weaknesses Grass clippings and dust tend to gather in the radiator screens which can cause overheating. Easily taken care of by cleaning screens and radiator periodically with compressed air gun. Is worse in dry, dusty conditions.

Overall Love this tractor. Offers me all the possibilities I need in one machine.

Strengths Just bought Yesterday very pleased with how this tractor is very easy to operate. Has plenty of power for the size ran it for 4.5 hours fisrt day and only used 3 gallons of fuel, even the wife and daughter got into the act of having fun digging up rocks and moving around.

Weaknesses Seems to bog down a bit when FEL is full and climbing a slight grade.

Overall To new to tractor world to really know how to rate other than ease of use and plenty of power. so far I would highly suggest this tractor for the person with 5 acres or less. if your looking to do a lot of power work go with bigger tractor, for light work that you have patients to work on then this is for you.

Strengths Great power for it's size. Quality machine from FEL to Hoe. One machine that can do anything you can think of. Very good fuel economy, half gallon fuel for an hours work. Easy to learn and operate. Dug out a 20 inch maple stump.

Weaknesses Non so far... really don't like the swiveling seat when you want to use the backhoe.. but all sub compacts seem to be of that design.

Overall Just bought it 2 weeks ago... have 20 hours on it now and have had a blast. I researched for six weeks before picking the Kubota. In my opinion it has the competition beat hands down. I didn't know if it was to small and contimplated getting a bigger machine but after using it I think you would have to get a much bigger machine to see any change in proformance. That would be a significant increase in purchase price.

Weaknesses I believe in the quality of the equipment (BX-25), however, I believe I just ended up with a Lemon! Initially I ended up with engine problems within the 1st 30 days of ownership, and now it is in the shop due to a gear in the transmission going through the transmission housing. A pin in the differential lock failed, then the remaining three snapped and lammed into the transmission gears causing one gear to break.

Overall Kubota takes no ownership in their equipment! They leave it all up to the Dealer to work through. It is under Warranty, but who wants equipment you have to worry about what will break next!

Strengths Quality, compactness, flexibility, dealor support.

Weaknesses Size and manner of hour meter (tough for old eyes to read--common problem on most tractors) Would like to see some on-board compartment to carry tools/do dad's.

Overall Overall, I would say this tractor is the bomb. I'm new to tractors, as my first tractor was a used BX 23 that I purchased this summer and traded in for the BX 25. The 23's hydro stick was a pain in the butt to read--with the back hoe in the way. The fill cap was in the same area and a pain. The 23's back hoe looked like a pain to drop; the 25's comes off easier than my Fisher minute-mount plow and the hydro stick/fill cap are very accessible.

Strengths This little tractor is quite the machine with very few flaws as compared to comparable tractors like John Deere and the Massey when looking at the specs and dollars, this machine is far superior. Smooth running and seems to glide over rough terrain. These are the Toyotas of the tractor world. Lots of power and strength but found the the turf tires are far superior to grab in wet conditions then the industrial tire. They tell me also the turfs are much better in snow and ice as you have more soft rubber in contact with the surface. Love the idea both PTOs can operate at the same time.

Weaknesses The hydrolics for the lift on the FEL could be stronger and for information on attachments on this web site is terrilble especially for wheel weights etc. Should also have a heavier 12 connector on back fender or on the rops for energizing electrical equipment such as sprayers etc. Waiting for snowblower on back-order because of apparent gear boxes, but dealer very accomodating and loaning me a new aftermarket one until mine comes in at no charge. Sometimes Your machine is only as good as the service provided from the dealer who sells it to you.

Overall I love the machine, save a lot of time and a great investment for time saving over the next several years. The ease of use is wonderful and has everthing you need in guages and a digital tach to monitor the proper RPM usage for the attachments. Good Equipment in Charlottetown were excellant in dealing with and very accomodating also the best deal compared to other dealers or comparable dealers as well. You cannot go wrong with this machine.

Strengths Just bought - lovely little tractor, seems to have lots of power, great manoeverability, FEL lifts anything that can fit in, BH very strong, not too noisy, and nice colour! Also, small enough to fit on a smaller trailer that I can move around by hand.

Weaknesses Needs an available 16" bucket, since there is the power for it. Also, the seat reversing mechanism is sticky, and I would like to see some snow tires become available, or at least something with ATV-like treads like the Mud-Lites. Would also like to see a thumb that you cn actually manipulate for picking up logs, etc.

Overall Have only had it a month or so, but it has been REALLY useful, and fun to drive. An amazing little tractor that seems tough as nails, and I love the fact that it comes properly reinforced for the BH.
