✦
Overview
Structured around a viewer's question about towing a 2,500-lb log splitter, this video pulls Kubota BX manufacturer specs from the manual (550-lb tongue weight, 2,425-lb total trailer limit), then walks through real-world safety variables: hitch type, four-wheel-drive braking, machine weight, terrain, and where to mount a ball. 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.
