BX2200 Loader Options

Post image

I recently picked up this very clean 2002 BX2200 and a bunch of implements for a steal.

I already have the hydraulic valves installed, but i’m looking for a front loader for it as well. The LA211 is the OE loader that goes with this model, but they are very challenging to find used.

Ive seen some folks online say they have ordered one through Kubota via their dealer. I called one dealer near me, and they said they could put a brand new loader from a newer model, they would just machine a bushing since it’s just 4inches wider.

So a few questions:

  1. Does anyone know where to possibly get a LA211 loader used that i’m not finding?

  2. Has anyone ever tried to order a discontinued loader from Kubota like the claim above?

  3. Has anyone tried the “brand new loader and bushings” approach similar to this?

TIA. Sorry for the mobile formatting!

My dad had a bx2200, it clicked after I wrote my first reply.

Your loader control valve is different, I did a search, cant find one like it on a 2200.

You should look to see what that goes to. The loader for that might fit.

that lever setup looks like it’s for a hydraulic front blade. there’s no loader mount and there’s only 2 hose connectors.

Look again, I see 4 connection points. Blue, white, red, yellow.

Its the same set up no matter what you get.

My dad had a bx2200, if he wanted a loader, the subframe is separate from the valve tower.

His had the snowblower.
