Strengths It works sometimes
Weaknesses Not very happy with service or machine. First the valves on the front tires were leaking after 2 months. They said thats not covered so finally added innertubes. Put brake on to get off tractor and it shuts off, dont put on brake and it runs. Finally figured out after 2 years that yhis is caused by the PTO. Now the big problems are the O Rings blowing out. I came to find out that the Banjo Bolts are probably machined too deep for the rings so this will heep happening.
Overall Not happy financing was the best thing about it

Strengths Great little tractor! I've had mine about 2years now and im glad I went with the bx25. The power the fel and back hoe have always get the job done.
Weaknesses The back hoe boom makes contact with one of the hydrolic lines if I swing the Bach hoe all the way over to the left. It has been pinching the line and causing damage to the line. I just dropped it off for repair , and it seems that I won't be charged because it is a manufacturing default .
Overall Great tractor

Years of Use : 2-Years
Implements : Front end loader, 7' rear blade, snow blower, rottor tiller, back hoe
Purchased From : Camrose Dynamic
Strengths Good all around little tractor. Small enough that the wife isn't afraid to use it. Quick attach for the FEL and backhoe are great. Fantastic fuel economy. AWD comes in handy in mud or snow, impossible to get stuck with the FEL and backhoe. Good digging depth on the backhoe and enough power to pick yourself up and move sideways to reposition. No mechanical issues so far.
Weaknesses Leaking front tires. I pulled them off and applied sticky grease around the rims and they still leak. Will have to go to an inner tube. Very tippy with a heavy load on the front. Have to be quick on dropping the bucket or steering into the roll over side and hitting the gas when you start going over. I work with my stabilizer down on the downhill side when working on slopes.
Overall Very impressed with everything. Does a lot more work than I though it ever would. Owned an 863 Bobcat before and traded for the BX25 just for the attachments never thinking the front end wood come close to the work I could do with the Bobcat but it's not bad. Hydrostatic drive is very quick. The backward spin on the rottor tiller works better than anything else I've seen. doesn't push you ahead on the hard stuff. Never thought this tractor would handle a 7' blade but it was all they had and would trade me straight across for a 6'when they got one in. My driveway alone is aver 1/2 mile and the blade works great for leveling or moving snow.

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!

Years of Use : 30-Days
Implements : Back hoe, Loader
Purchased From : Bobcat Central, Lodi CA
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.

Implements : FEL, MMM, Bachoe, 3PT Hitch
Purchased From : Whites Farm Supply
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.

Years of Use : 30-Days
Implements : FEL and Backhoe and 3pt hitch
Purchased From : Bently Bros. Albion NY
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.
