The Kubota BX24 is a pretty versatile machine. It is also pretty easy to add accessories on to. Here is how I added rear remotes and a top and tilt setup to it. The remotes will work with the backhoe on or off. I also have the parts list included so anyone else can add them to their machine.

I didn’t post daily on this trip. It was a pretty short trip and my computer was very flaky and would not stay running long. So I just saved all my pictures and posted everything in one big post instead.

We spent 5 days on the road. It should have been 4 days but we stopped a few hours from home due to the weather and not actually being in that much of a hurry.

Every Astro made has the passenger seat adjustment way to far forward. I have no idea why the factory thought only little kids were going to ride in that seat so I had to make a set of brackets to move it back some.
