I know - braggin' on your Kubota can bring on all sorts of mayhem. Bad storms, unplanned maintenance, swarms of locusts and the like. But about ten years ago I was all set to buy another ridin' lawn mower and a fella I worked with pestered on me for about a month talking me into buying a Kubota, (he loved his, too). He said to get one with a mower, loader, snow blower, and a cab with a heater.
I was skeptical, wondering what I would need all that extra stuff for, money was always tight - but I did it anyway. Boy, was he right! My 2004 BX2230 is the best thing I ever bought. I use it for everything. It moves whatever I want to move, and it lifts whatever I want to lift, and it mows the lawn and blows the driveway besides!
I do take good care of it because I love the damn thing. Clean fuel, regular oil & filter changes, and I try to keep it clean. I pull the cab every Spring and put it back on every Fall - takes about forty minutes either way. Last week I was using it to hang venison I was lucky enough to get, and this morning it made short work of a couple of driveways here in northern New York. It doesn't care that it's down around zero with lots of snow. So far, I've got 722 trouble-free hours on it, and now that I'm pushing seventy real hard I expect it to last me out. Oh, I guess I did replace the battery a few years ago, but that's to be expected - I've got lights plastered all over the cab that light up the night when I'm doing the driveway. Life is good!
