Can I put a bush hog on this tractor? Does it have a retractable backhoe and a 3pt hitch?
Sorry, Paul, but this isn’t an answer to your questions, it’s me hoping that you did get some answer to the first question about attaching a bush hog to this tractor. You see, we are keenly interested in this particular Kubota model, BUT it is crucial that we can attach a bush hog to it with reasonable ease… I suspect that it is not possible because the back hoe is sold new with the package and may not be easy to disconnect/reconnect. Did you find out anything conclusive on this?
Kubota B1820 Does anyone know what the BS colour is to match?
What will you sell this unit for out the door?
BX 23S
I had one a year ago that I got with very low hours. I put wheel spacers and bottom shield on it. After having it for a lit while I realized it wasn’t much more than a lawn tractor with loader and backhoe. Light gauge and useless doodads and category 0. I traded it on a brand new Kioti 40hp gear drive and haven’t looked back! I had my first Kioti for 17 years and the original battery was still good!
