    Downsizing Newb

    You stole that. Hell of a deal. Any plans to sell the cab? Allot of grease shows they were anal on maintenance. Curious what HP that has.

    Bend loader on BX

    Any way you could lift heavy on opposite side to bend it back or are some welds broke?

    Lawn Vac for BX

    Thanks folks. Found a used one on CL for $1000. Will keep looking around to see if I can get lucky getting a less expensive used one. I looked at their bundle specials. $3200. Way more than I want to spend. A blower won’t work so need a vacuum.

    Lawn Vac for BX

    Anyone who has a BX series tractor can recommend a good lawn vacuum? Never owned one before so am new with this implement. Not sure if toe behind or 3 point is better. Looked at a few on google search. Tow behind looks alright but don't know if that hose would attach to my mower deck. Appreciate...

    Extra Security Protection

    Get a trail cam. Not that expensive. Mine runs a year on 1 set of C batteries. Still add other protection if possible.

    Cut Height and Greasing on a BX.

    Grease when I removed the deck for winter. I’ll grease it middle of the season and end of season when I pull it off stays on when I grease middle of the season. Cut mine a 3 setting.

    Snow Removal.

    It possibly could if the rear axle can be locked. BUT, if you get allot of snow, pretty sure you will have issues. 4 wheel drive tractor would be best. I went through this too and decided a Kubota 1880 would work for me. Wanted a loader too and mower deck. May have been a bit of money but works...

    BX23S Loader Hydraulic Shutter

    Your at the proper RPM’s? Have you tried going higher RPM’s to see if there is a difference? Did you check all your hydraulic connections to insure they are all seated properly?

    Kubota BX 1880 mower PTO locking cap.

    maybe spray some WD in it. Or, bang it like others said. Mine was hard to keep open to couple it. Sure is a snug place to get to.

    check out the you tube videos. Better than reading the manual.

    Help me out here...

    I bought my 1880 to shovel. Screw hand shoveling. Use your tractor to unload before taking it to the dealer. By the way, unless you’re planning on leaving it attached, may go get it and put it on yourself. Got to learn sooner or later. I put mine back on for the 1st time a couple weeks ago. Not...

    Giving Up on Buying a New Kubota

    Besides engine and PTO horse power, everything else is equal between the two tractors. Some days I kind of wished for more HP but in the end, I’m happy with my 1880.
