BX1500
- The newest and
smallest BX joins the successful BX Series tractor line. Combining versatility
and value, with strength and performance, it's the most sub-compact tractor
ever. It is designed with the agility, feel and functionality of a garden
tractor, but is packed full of big tractor features, that's why it's the perfect
choice for the Garden Tractor customer who would like to "Upgrade".
The BX1500 is powered by Kubota's 15 hp, 2-cylinder indirect injected, liquid cooled, diesel engine, the Z602. This engine incorporates a newly designed cast balancer for smooth engine operation. In addition, a noise suppressor allows for comfortable and quiet performance. With cleaner emissions, this engine is friendly to the environment and more pleasant to operate.
The two speed hydrostatic transmission allows you to choose the best speed for the job, handling a variety of different applications with ease. It comes complete with power steering, a three-point hitch, and a mid and rear PTO. These will allow you to operate PTO driven implements such as tillers, sprayers, mid-mount mowers, front snowblower and rotary broom. The PTO is operated with the simple shift of a lever because it is an Independent hydraulic PTO clutch that smoothly engages the PTO driven implements when you need them.
The cast iron front axle and bevel gear is a four-wheel drive system that allows the BX1500 to be used as a small compact loader with impressive power. No garden tractor has all these features. That's why the BX1500 is termed the "Upgrade Factor"!
BX1830 &
BX2230 - Kubota's BX
Series 4- wheel drive Sub-Compact Tractors combine the strength, performance and versatility of a compact
utility tractor with the agility, feel and functionality of a garden tractor.
Packed full of big tractor features, the BX Series is designed to out-perform
the competition.
Powered by Kubota's 18 or 22 hp, 3-cylinder indirect injected, liquid cooled diesel engine, the BX1830 produces 13.7 PTO hp and the BX2230 produces 16.7 PTO hp. These high torque rise engines simply out-perform the competition in heavy duty applications like mowing long thick grass.
Both models are assembled on a heavy duty 3/8 inch full-length welded steel frame providing a strong foundation. The two speed hydrostatic transmission allows you to choose the best speed for the job, handling a variety of different applications with ease. The hydrostatic power steering takes the strain out of maneuvering swiftly in and around obstacles with ease. The category I, three point hitch and 540 rpm rear PTO allows you to hook up to most category I implements just like the larger compact utility tractors. The 2500 rpm mid-PTO system powers both mid and front quick hitch implements via a drive shaft, increasing the BX versatility. With a simple shift of a lever the Independent Hydraulic PTO clutch smoothly engages the PTO driven implements allowing you to complete the task at hand.
The Cast Iron front axle and bevel gear four wheel drive system allow the BX to be used as a small compact loader tractor with impressive power, capacity and versatility. Quick attach implements make the BX the perfect choice for customers that have a variety of applications. Performance, styling and satisfaction all at a reasonable price.
