    New vs used: First tractor...Kubota BX 18XX

    My best guess is that it will be a few months and you'll be looking to dump the 1870. The 1880 is a giant leap forward.

    Do deals on new BX series tractors happen often?

    This was my experience in 12/17. - Generous dealer discount - implement rebates (on 2) - 0% financing

    Transporting a BX23S on a Uhaul car trailer

    See if they will locate you one of these. Worked great for me. PS: The low rating is because of the ramp, not the trailer; it's a beast. https://www.uhaul.com/Trailers/6x12-Utility-Trailer-With-Ramp-Rental/HO/

    Buying new or used?

    I am unfamiliar with the term "nubbies." Are you referring to "tits?" That's what I was taught to call them. ;-)

    Is Kubota credit sketchy?

    I've dealt with dozens (probably over 100) of lenders in my time and honestly, I find Kubota Credit to be pretty unsophisticated. Their web payment interface is clunky. They spent $ to send me payment coupons and envelopes that I'll never use (should offer an opt in/out upon loan closing). I...

    Are you adequately covered for liability and physical damage to your Kubota?

    When I bought my BX1880 in December 2017, my insurance company assured KFC that my tractor was covered for physical damage under my homeowner's policy. My wandering mind got to wondering if that coverage extended to off-premise situations. So I called to clarify..... Turns out that my...

    securing clamp-on pallet forks with ratchet strap???

    Just about everything I read about clamp-on pallet forks says they should be chained to the upper lip of the bucket. I am looking at a pair for the bucket on my BX1880, but I don't like the idea of hooking to the top lip of the bucket or installing bolt on chain hooks. Elsewhere here, there is...

    Snowblower Dryer and Polebarn Heater?

    Maybe you can find something to boost the speed of the warm air. In the shop where I work (which is heated), we use an old furnace squirrel cage at floor level aimed at our service vans. The snow on the surface and packed underneath melts or falls off in no time. Maybe one of those big barn...

    0% offers continue into 2018 (at least for BX)

    It would appear that the implement rebate/discount has been reduced to $300 off the purchase of 2 qualifying implements (reduced from $700 + $300) in last year's offer). YMMV

    PTO (leaf) blower

    Sorry that I am late to the party. I see no one responded to your post. I am curious, too. Here's all I could find for our 1870/80 tractors. Looks promising, but they are in the Netherlands. http://votex.com/en/votex-pto-blower-b10/
