Front Mounted Quick Hitch Attachments for Kubota BX

You can put attachments onto the rear of your tractor and onto your loader. However, did you know there is another style of front-mounted implements that utilize your mid-mount PTO? Neil shows off this line of front-mount attachments available for your Kubota BX tractor.

Neil, I have a 2011 BX2360, and a couple of years ago I sprung for a BX23S. The front quick hitch from the 2360 works on the 23S but you can't open the hood. I wouldn't have gone with the new tractor if I didn't know this, as the front implements are quite expensive as you told the people. I thank John Ritter and his site for informing me about this. Now my son has the 2360, and borrows mine when he needs the backhoe. I have the front snow blower, he has the front blade, we just bought another front quick hitch. Rad Tech makes good snow equipment. In Canada they have to.

Yep - you certainly talked me out of ever thinking of mounting anything but my loader out front. Not to mention the reality that I can drop my 3pt blower in minutes and swap to a blade or what ever I may need - all the while having my loader still at hand!

I bought a 4ft snow pusher and love it. A major time saver for my bx1880.

Aye Neil, I always look forward to your great videos 👍
Somewhere I've seen Kubota do a pile/pole driver that mounts on the FEL. Neil would you mind doing a video on that please.
Thanks for all that you do 👊

Great episode again thanks . My next implement with be a shaft driven concrete mixer so I can mix where I want and pour it where I want .

The literal pain in the neck from using rear mounted attachments can extend to the ears. Years ago Paul Harvey reported that doctors were noticing that farmers tended to have weaker hearing in their left ear vs their right ear. They discovered the cause which was farmers on their tractors were looking back around to their right which basically pointed their left ears towards the tractors loud exhaust. And plenty of farmers didn’t use hearing protection.

I have front mounted 54 snow blower and 54 blade on my JD 4x4 gas tractor. They both work great. I bought a loader mounted snow blade for my CUT and I am not gifted enough to make it work well.

Nice Video front mount implements look handy Thanks again

Why wouldn’t this be able to run a flail mower?

[sstelmack]

I saw a video about a European Kubota that had a front mount flail mower. Can you tell me why we don't have those here? I think that would be easier than the 3-point mounted ones and they look like they work well on Ventrac.

If you have a hydrostatic tractor, there’s absolutely no reason to crane your neck to use a 3 point snowblower. Sit on the tractor sideways so both feet are on the right. You can look both backwards and forwards, run your hydro pedals, and operate all necessary controls from that position. Plus, you still get to have a loader or plow on the front. I spend hours at a time clearing snow, using both my loader and rear snowblower with zero fatigue. Those pull-behind snowblowers are an answer to a problem that doesn’t exist, plus you can’t clear your path with them.

Whole reason why we went with a 2025r. Until the last year John Deere quick hitch front attachments have been made for the last 30 years. Very plentiful on the used market and kinda cost saving. Our 455s the same 47” blower and blade will fit the 2019 2025r quick hitch and just change the shaft and up stop and back on the 455s. Kubota should stick with this setup for for long time and then be able to build up the used market and build inventory used. Making it easy to find and get people like myself to change colors.

I had two Berco 40” 700255 2 stage snowblowers for sale on Craigslist and one guy bought both of them from me for $800. He was going to attach them side by side in front of his tractor which was cheaper than buying a new one around the same total width.

Will any of these work on just the B-Series Tractors? For ref: B2620HSD, can you put a rear mounted snowblower on it, or not enough power in the PTO to drive?

[briananderson]

Do you know if kubota or any after market companies make a front mount flail mower? I tried looking but had no luck. I’m surprised they aren’t more popular.

[ericritchey]

Neil do they have something like this for the B01 series machines, My buddy Terri bought a BX machine from your Carlisle store and he got this setup on it and loves it. I think I saw in the sales brochure a setup like this that would fit my B2601. Thanks for taking the time too make these videos.

Rocking a BX2750B on my BX23S. As stated, you cant open hood as much as you really need to to pull dipstick.

[nmontefo]

Thanks for the video, Neil! Do you know of any way to attach front weights when you have the front quick hitch hanger attached to the front end?

[sethhuus]

I have an 2011 BX2660, any other attachments for the front of that instead of the blower?

How about a hydraulic pump attached to pto to operate front implements ?
