If I was in the market for a compact tractor the 1643 would be top on my list. The new design cab is one of the nicest in the field.

I bought a BX23 about 13 months ago and have almost 250 hours on it. When I got it I had planned to keep it about a year put in some drainage field and resale it. After having seen what it will accomplish I don't think I can maintain my 10 acres without it unless I could trade up to the BX24. Just size the implement to it and it will do the job.

I have a 5.4 in a 99 F150 and everybody asks me if I ever had a sparkplug eject from the head. Hear this engine is known for this? I've got almost 60,000 troublefree miles from mine.

I'd check to make sure the differential lock worked smooth. I've heard reports of guys riding them with their left foot and causing problems. If they are low hours ie. 300 or less and look good I would'nt worry too much its just broke in good at this many hours. I've worked mine over 200 hours in six months and not had any problems. If I had to do over i'd buy used and save the 2 or 3 thousand. When working the BX23 keep your seat belt on and the rpms up to 2700 or better and it will amaze you at its power.

If your looking for a tractor that will work hard for you and has all the new safety features like a ROP, which is a must, go with the Jinma 254 crate tractor. The Chinese tractors have come a long way in the last few years and most complaints come from guys that have never even worked one.

The BX23 is like the little kid you use to pick on in school and when he decided he had enough kicked your butt. Anybody else remember?

I never set the parking brake just lower the bucket and stabilizers. When i'm ready to move I raise the stabilizers reach around raise bucket and push on the big go pedal. I'm not real sure if this is a Kubota approved method but it works and sure saves lots of time. Only problems I see at all with the BX23 is with the bucket and hoe on you have to be extra careful on hills or it seems you could upset it fairly easy. I'm in WV where most land is hills so i've put the BX23 to the test and have had it up on three wheels several times. I checked and was told you could not widen it any. Just keep the seatbelt tight and go easy. The last and biggest problem is that your neighbors will see it and ask you to do a few things for them and a few will even ask to borrow it. Yeah right?

Was just wondering if anyone knows why Kubota kept the older D905-E diesel engine in the BX23 and went with the D902-E in the BX2230?

My Kubota dealer wants to pick my new BX23 at 25 hours and do the first service? I was wondering why since the manual says 50 hours? The rate the hour meters spin on these BX's I should have to have the first service by weekend.

Yep had the same tractor for a few years with a 5' King Kutter. I did'nt have a loader on mine so the front end would get light going up real steep hills. Just remember to keep it on the ground going uphill.

I think the Jinma 354 would be all the tractor you would need. Go with a reputable dealer like Harryg says and you will get all your projects done and keep alot more money in your pocket. No they are'nt the quality of some of the others but they are very heavy built and powerful. I've owned a Jinma going on 3 years and have put around 250 hours on it and it looks and runs as good as new. The first year or so I was always wondering when it would just collapse into a pile of junk like some people would have you think.....so far its been much better then expected.
This has been the only thing thats stopped it.

Murf said it perfect. Chip will go out of his way to help anyone on these forums. I've seen him help on this forum and many others. He's helped me on several problems. Tommy at Affordable has helped me also. I think maybe Chips online a little more then Tommy or just types a little faster. These are the type guys we need in these forums to make them work the way they were intended to not to bash another guys tractor brand. Thanks to both of you for all your help.

I've owned 3 new tractors 65hp and under in the last 15 years. The Chinese tractor is as much a "real tractor" as any i've owned. I now own a 35hp Jinma with over 200 hours that i'd like to see a real tractor with the same hp rating outpull.

I have a Jinma354 practicaly the same tractor. If you can't turn a wrench or can't wait a few days on parts if and when you break something look elsewhere. I broke a liftshaft and could only find one source for parts which was jinmaparts.com. They are fairly easy to work on but like all tractors will need work and the big tractor dealers will not want to do the work. They look down on these tractors like they are a lower class but they are built just as tough as any other tractor. Just their way of punishing you for not buying one of theirs. Nothern sells the 30hp and seem to stand behind theirs much better then the other dealers IMO.

Your pretty much on your own for parts if you don't buy a tractor from one of the couple of bigger Chinese tractor dealers. Cross references are the problem i've been told? I've called three parts places and still not sure when i'm gonna get a lift shaft and the needed bushings and o-rings for a Jinma354. These tractors are tough but you can and will break parts and when you do you just have to wait until a bigger order is placed which could take weeks or months to get here. Does anybody reading this have a liftshaft in stock? The 304 seems to take the same one. Does Nothern sell parts to people that did'nt buy a tractor from them?

where do i get parts for my agracat
