Closes with a live demo moving a trailer via the box blade. Best for BX owners figuring out safe towing limits before attempting a haul.
An owner-operator hobby homesteader sharing several years of hands-on BX experience from their own property, with no apparent dealership or manufacturer affiliation.
The manual recommends a maximum tongue weight of 550 pounds on the hitch.
Kubota recommends a total trailer weight limit of 2,425 pounds, combining 660 pounds trailer weight and 1,765 pounds of load.
By the book, no, since it exceeds Kubota's recommended limits. On flat, dry ground with good traction it is capable, but hills and mud push the machine past safe limits.
The BX has no external brakes, so braking happens through the drivetrain. In two-wheel drive the front wheels spin freely with no braking at all.
