Well I took delivery of the yeller and beige beast on
Friday. I am waiting for my 60" Three Point Finish Mower
to come in (backorder) and my 12" bucket for the hoe. The
hoe has a 16" bucket on it now and IMHO that's just too big
for my needs.

What do I think of her?

Awesome machine! Wow this Cat (Perkins) Diesel is a work
horse with nice amounts of power and fantastic fuel consumption.

I do have some gripes about the tractor but I think I could
apply the same gripes to most CUT's.

The backhoe drags if you get into gullies (sort of expected
it to drag a bit). The front end loader needs teeth...

I wish I could "lock" it in 4WD not that the automatic 4WD
doesn't work (it does) I just kinda wish I could keep it in
4WD all the time just for piece of mind.

The subframe on the hoe hangs down a bit lower than I would
like, but it also helps to protect the hydrostat fluid
filters and the transmission in general.

The hoe is STOUT! 970 Lbs worth! It has no problem getting
down and dirty and I have yet to "tax" the system even at
idle the hoe just rips through the ground.

The hydrostat is whiney... I am sure they all are... The
7000 series gas job they lent me was also whiney.. I was
used to my old Yanmar being a gear case/shuttle shift no
whine but a PITA to use at times.

The dealer I bought from has treated me like gold! Seriously
they have gone the distance for me.. I am sure part of it
is because people don't walk in and drop 23K and change on
a tractor every day... But besides the point they have made
the purchase something to enjoy!

Art,

I certainly can't argue with that, and Kub has been around
more than long enough to know exactly what they are doing
engineering wise!

Thanks for all the replies I am going to wander back to the
Cub section I appreciate all your feedback you all picked a
great machine!

Is the Kub BX23 Transmission casting aluminum or iron
