Kevin Kazases of Kinglake contacted his local Kubota Dealer – Godings - to arrange for a replacement of his BX23 Tractor Loader Backhoe after the Victorian bushfires to clean up his property.
The replacement model Kazases purchased was the recently released BX25 sub compact tractor loader backhoe unit.
"I have spent a lot of hours both on my property and neighbours on my BX since the fires and I have been able to do this in comfort thanks to the BX features," he says. "I have moved around piles of dirt and wood, dug new trenches, replaced fences and many other jobs with my BX."
Whether it is pushing or moving dirt, digging holes or trenches, rotary hoeing the vegetable garden, slashing the paddock or mowing the lawn, the BX25 can be adapted to suit several applications.
The sub compact tractor/loader/backhoe (TLB) unit quickly converts from a full on work horse to an easy to operate lawn mower.
The 23 horsepower fuel efficient Kubota diesel engine provides a combination of high torque rise, low noise and vibration and cleaner emissions. The engine powers a two-range hydrostatic transmission, and with heel and toe operation, is suited to loader and mowing operations where constant changes of direction are required.
The BX25 transmission also comes standard with 4WD and rear differential lock enabling the BX25 to perform in any conditions.
The BX TLB’s are equipped with hydrostatic power steering to make steering effortless, even with a full loader bucket. It also features a digital tachometer that offer precise monitoring of engine revolutions, especially when operating the PTO.
