Read articles →A focused three-minute installation walkthrough showing how to add the optional BX2506 three-point hitch kit to Kubota BX-series TLB models (BX23S, BX24, BX25, BX25D). The presenter goes step by step through bushing orientation, lower-link retention, rock shaft pinning, and top-link bracket placement, and mentions the kit runs around $225. Also notes the procedure applies equally to non-TLB BX owners reinstalling a removed linkage. Best for someone about to tackle this job for the first time.
Posted by Messick's Farm Equipment, a dealership channel, so the video closes with a sales pitch but the installation content itself is straightforward and product-neutral.
Start with the lower links, sliding bushings onto the rod and locking them in place, then pin the bracket, lift the arms onto the rock shaft, and finish by installing the top link with its bracket and pin.
The presenter says it runs about two hundred twenty-five dollars.
Yes, the linkage is exactly the same as non-backhoe versions, so a BX2380 or similar model owner reinstalling a removed linkage follows the same steps.
