The Kubota BX is one of the most popular compact tractors on the market—and for good reason. It's maneuverable, powerful for its size, and packed with features that make it a great all-around workhorse. But like any factory-built machine, it’s designed to serve a wide range of users in a wide range of scenarios… not necessarily optimized for the specific jobs you're doing.

A few smart upgrades can make a big difference in how your BX handles real-world tasks. Whether you're digging, hauling, towing, or trailering, the right BX accessories can help your tractor work smarter, stay safer, and perform better.

Here are a handful of upgrades that BX owners often add after a season or two—once they realize what their machine could be doing better.

Oversized Backhoe Stabilizer Feet: Get a Grip Where It Matters

If you’ve ever tried to dig with your BX backhoe and found the whole machine shifting or sinking as you apply pressure, you’re not alone. The factory outrigger feet are small—fine for firm, flat ground, but less than ideal when you're on soft soil, gravel, or uneven terrain.

One of the most useful Kubota BX accessories for stability, upgraded stabilizer feet offer a significantly larger surface area. That extra footprint spreads out the weight of your machine, keeping your backhoe planted while you dig, especially in wet or loose conditions. Optional rubber pads can also be added to protect hard surfaces like concrete or pavers.

It's the kind of upgrade you don’t notice until it saves you a ton of frustration—and once you've had it, you won't go back.

Bucket Hooks: Because You’ll Use Them More Than You Think

One of the first BX accessories many owners reach for is a set of bolt-on bucket hooks—and for good reason. These hooks instantly expand the utility of your loader. Lifting logs, pulling posts, dragging debris, chaining down a load—suddenly, your bucket becomes a multi-tool.

Unlike generic hooks, those made specifically for the Kubota BX bucket bolt on cleanly, with no welding and no risk to your equipment. It’s a small investment that makes a big impact on what you can get done.

Think of them as grab handles for your tractor—strong, simple, and endlessly useful.

Tie-Downs: Make Transporting Your BX Safe and Simple

Trailering a BX sounds easy—until you’re trying to figure out where to run your straps. The factory doesn’t offer much in the way of securement points, which is why front and rear tie-down kits are some of the most functional Kubota BX accessories you can add.

Designed specifically for the BX series, these bolt-on tie-down brackets give you reinforced anchor points for safe, legal trailering. Whether you're heading to a job site or hauling equipment for service, these kits make the whole process faster and safer.

A must-have if your BX ever leaves the property—and a huge stress-saver when it does.

Wheel Weights: A Clean Alternative to Liquid Ballast

Weight equals traction—and for compact tractors like the BX, that often means the rear end can get too light, especially with loader work. Many BX owners eventually look for a better way to stay grounded.

BX wheel weights are a clean, removable solution that helps balance your tractor without the mess or permanence of liquid ballast. They bolt on easily, improve stability, and can be removed or swapped as your needs change.

More bite, more stability, and better control—without messing with tubes or pumps.

Tooth Bar/Cutting Edge: Dig, Rip, and Scrape With One Simple Upgrade

One of the most popular Kubota BX accessories—and one of the most transformative—is a bolt-on tooth bar that functions as both a digging edge and a durable cutting edge. Designed to fit the BX bucket with no welding required, this single upgrade significantly expands what your front-end loader can handle.

Need to tear into compacted soil, roots, or gravel? The serrated edge gives your bucket the bite it needs to break through tough material. But it’s just as effective for scraping, back-dragging, and smoothing surfaces—making it a versatile tool for everything from landscaping to snow clearing.

Unlike add-ons that need to be swapped out depending on the task, this tooth bar is engineered to stay on full-time, offering both aggressive digging power and clean scraping performance in one durable package. It’s a serious alternative to other well-known designs on the market, with a focus on strength, precision fitment, and long-term value.

One simple addition. A lot more capability.
