Good evening - topic has probably been covered before, but a search didn't turn up that much. I'm looking for a BB for my BX2680 I picked up last fall. A 4 ft BB seems to be norm for the BX and there are many options out there in that size. My question is with regard to adding wheel spacers. The...

Thanks for the replies. I initially was just going to run the turfs for a while. The tractor is a 2019 with about 200 hrs so the tires are in good shape. The rears aren't filled which I was kind of surprised by. My local dealer includes filled rear tires at no additional charge with any BX that...

I picked up a used BX2680 a few months ago. It has turf tires and was used primarily for finish mowing. My planned use is more all around without much finish mowing, at least for now (loader & box blade work, tiller, flail or rotary mower). I've been searching the internet including this forum...

I'm ready to start the fluid changes on my new to me BX2680. Anyone have the torque values for the engine oil and hydro drain plugs? I don't have a service manual yet and I'm having trouble finding anything specific on the web. Torque specs on my cars/trucks are in the 18 to 30 ftlb range on the...

My new to me BX2680 was used mostly for mowing, so I've been cleaning up some grass clippings, etc. up under the bottom of the tractor. I pulled the right rear wheel to clean out that area and I found an electrical connector under the fender below the FEL control valve. Anyone know what this is...

Thanks 85 - where were those air filter listings pulled from?

I've been working on pulling my maintenance parts and fluids for my new to me BX2680. I'm finding the right parts and fluids and everything makes sense other than the air filter. Using the Kubota.com parts site, if I use the Quick Ref Guide for the BX2680, it lists a K1211-82320 air filter...

I just picked up a used BX2680. It was used by an older couple with a small amount of acreage and horses. It has turf tires and was primary used for mowing. FEL bucket shows very little use, I was told just for mowing manure which seems accurate. My use will be FEL work, finish mower and either...

Thanks for all of the info - appreciate it. I think I'm going to use 15W-40 rather than the 10W-30. I will be keeping the tractor in the garage that I maintain typically no less than about 40F in the winter and at least right now, I don't plan on any cold winter operation. Most demanding use...

I just picked up a new to me BX2680. It has just over 200 hours, was owned by an older couple with small acreage and horses. Primarily was used to mow, both belly mower and they used a rear mount finish mower for the pastures. Looking to see if I can get any maintenance records from the selling...

I was reading another post about analysis paralysis - I think I'm there. Starting looking for a CUT in late spring, based on specs and just looking at various tractors on the dealers lots, I thought the B01 series would be about right for me. Problem was I found the operator station somewhat...

Appreciate the info on the tractors. I think the B20 series tractors and probably the B3200 are now at the top of my list. Good specs, within my budget, and there seems to be a fair number out there. Looks as though the B20s were popular tractors, I see many more than the B2630 or B3030 models...

I was planning on a minimum of a box blade/blade, roto-tiller, and either a rotary cutter or flail mower. From my experience, control of the 3 pt isn't critical with the tiller, you just drop the 3 pt and tiller's weight and skid shoes will regulate position/depth of the tiller. If I remember...

Trying to move forward on a CUT this summer and used/new market for CUTs seems to be pretty bad, at least here in the Northeast. Was planning on buying used and looking hard at the B2650 or a B2601. What I'm seeing is few used units and pricing close to a new LX2610. My local dealer has both...

Thanks for the info so far, I don't think I can go wrong with either the B3030 or B2650. However, based on the numbers of used models out there, definitely more B2650s from what I can see. Based on the numbers, probably will end up with a 2650, but if a good condition 3030 shows up on my radar...

I've been getting some good comments on a couple threads regarding my CUT purchase this year. I initially started with B series, small or large frame and then downsized my thinking to possibly even a SCUT (BX or 1025R) since I maybe I could mow as well it. I've since abandoned that thinking and...

Appreciate all of the input and comments - very helpful real world experience. Probably not the forum to say it, but if I go SCUT, it will probably be a JD 1026/1025R. I don't see a great deal of differences in capability between the BX and JD 1 series and the 1026/1025R has position control, so...

Thanks for the reply and info on the 1/4 inching valve - not sure if that will work for me. Probably look for a model with position control. I have seen the difference with the 2 vs 3 range hydros in these size SCUT/CUT tractors. I've read some concerns/complaints about certain 2 range models or...

I am looking to buy a SCUT/CUT this year, most likely used to stay within my budget. I want to stay with either John Deere or Kubota for resale if I find out that I need something bigger or smaller. Based on specs and checking out units on dealer lots, I initially was looking at a smaller frame...

Thanks for the feedback - yes I'm leaning toward a 16 ft steel TA like the Big Tex 60PI 6k trailer. 6k rather than 7k drops the trailer weight 300 lbs or so and keeps it at about 1500 lbs. Would give me 3500 lbs capacity with the T4R and the full 4500 lbs if I ever upsize the tow vehicle. That...
