Kubota BX25
The Kubota BX25 compact tractor is a relatively new model from Kubota, it started production in 2009. Like nearly all Kubota tractors, the BX25’s engine is made by Kubota themselves. It’s a D902 diesel engine with an engine size of 0.9 liters. This features a liquid cooling system that needs 2.6 liters of coolant to make sure that the engine does not overheat. The air intake for the engine uses a dual paper element air filter. The 3 cylinder engine has a power output of 23 hp. The engine needs to be topped up with oil to make sure that it contains roughly 2.7 liters of oil at all times to ensure proper lubrication. The 12 volt battery that is used to start the engine is charged via a 40 amp alternator.
The tractor uses a hydrostatic transmission that gives the Kubota BX25 2 ranges of gears, one high, the other low. In high gear, the tractor has a maximum speed of 8.4 mph while in low drive, the maximum speed is 3.7 mph. The fuel capacity of the BX 25’s is 25 liters (6.6 US gallons) of diesel. The tractor uses a 4×4 MFWD 4WD chassis which gives the tractor extra control on rough or unsteady ground. The tractor slows down and stops using wet disk brakes, while it uses hydrostatic power steering to make controlling the machine relatively easy.
The category 1, 3 point hitch on the Kubota BX25 has a rear lift capacity of 449 kg (992 lbs). There are also a number of attachments that work flawlessly with the BX 25. The Kubota LA240 loader has a bucket width of 1.21 m (48 inches) and quickly fits onto the front of the machine. The Kubota BT601 backhoe attaches to the rear of the tractor and enables it to become a mini-digger almost instantaneously. The backhoe itself is quite heavy weighing in at 279 kg (617 lbs).

Did a great job of digging out stumps, digging out stones/rocks and grading our road. It mowed heavy weeds and grass with ease. But it just beat you up. It was extremely rough riding. The seat would not smooth out any of the bumps. If you are going to lots of mowing with this tractor get a chiropractor on retainer.
Lots, tip prone, bounce prone, front tires easily damaged but I love the hydrostatic drive. Good unit for the money, it does most of what I ask on this 50 acre tree farm.
Front end loader has good capicity for size but not much lift capability. It has very little person suspension and thus will beat you to death.
I use this for everything! Snow removal, material handling, footing trenches, small stump removal, grading, personal property use only, but I work it as hard as I can. I’m a happy camper although as a perfectionist, it bothers me that I put a couple of dings on it.
It appears to be small frustrating stuff – lights coming on by themselves, hazard lens replacement, frequent service intervals, etc. that are the most frustrating. Engine, transmission and implement reliability are good, but they need to fix the small stuff.
The tractor is awesome, I have friends that do repair work on water lines ,that like its power and maneuverability in small areas.. ie: back yards that they bought one also along with their bigger Kabota.
I have one complaint it could use a tad but more power on the front end loader. This not only with the bx25 but with most tractors of various companies.Have not figured that out yet..Si if anyone from Kubota reads, you need to fix that…
This is my first Kubota, however 4 years ago, at work, we needed a helicopter backhoe to investigat the ground conditions along a 1300 km power transmission line. We rented a BX 24 for several months and flew it the entire distance by helicopter to obtain the information. Summary – over 400 hours of operation, maintenance at 50 hours, 200 hours and 400 hours, no break downs, some damage to the clearance lights and plastic bonnett due to snaging in the tall trees.
My back propety is about 5 m above the general elevation of the side and front yards. The BX can pull my trailer with about 4000 lbs of fencing material up a very steep grade at the edge of its capability. This is awesome for this size of machine.

Before I purchased the BX, I was running a 1959 Cub. Almost flawless realizing its limitations, but becoming a little bit unreliable.
Have used tractor around property and neighborhood, has done a lot of work with no problem.

Best Kubota has ever made
Very usefull tractor but not totally impressed with the engineering on the power plant.
Front loader is adaquate for around the home mulching, moving dirt but not for escavating type tasks.
does good job when you can get it started and keep it running. has 61 hours and been returned twice for corrections.
