After loading 18 ton of concrete in a dumpster when it had 50 hrs,03 bx2200,i thought my bx was unbreakable,just got fill dirt for my spare lot ,31 loads by double axle trucks,and 42 f350 dump truck loads,while moving these huge pyles of dirt,almost finished,heard a loud bang /pop,started looking under tractor and found front driveshaft,u joint near carrier bearing, blew a cap off,very proud of this machine to do what its done with only a minor thing like this going bad,dealer is fixing under warranty! One could say kubota carrys its own weight!
