    BX snow removal suggestions.

    What about Frt or rear blowers on the 1880. Used a 5ft Ford blower on the back of an L2250 for 30 years on a 1300 ft asphalt/gravel dive that served me well on my old 16 acre place. I have .9 acres now.

    Trading Down Questions

    On the fence about trade will look at BX and see if it’s what I want. Last BX I looked at (2380) had a roll on issue that was dangerous. Inventory much improved since then.

    Trading Down Questions

    There is no way Ill get close to 30 grand for it. The folks who have asked say they would rather get new, full warranty and zero interest. Have had some ask for the mower deck or backhoe if I want to separate it out. I can understand there points. At 10 grand I’d probably sell it now, 19 grand...

    Mower Decks

    Had a L2250 and a B8200 HST that were great. Replaced the deck on the 8200 once in 30 years. When I looked at new Kubotas only the 2650 still had a contact deck. Z Turns seem to have suspended decks on all of then but the over all wheel setup is more conducive to uneven ground couture than on a...

    Mower Decks

    Had Kubotas with 60 in belly decks that rode the ground for 35 years, My Newer 2601 has 60 inch suspended deck like much cheaper lawn tractors. When setting the scalping rollers do you set the height then set the four corners to just lightly contact the ground? They obviously are not designed to...

    Looking to buy a BX23s

    Im 40 miles NW of Chicago. You get a 30 day quote guarantee on in stock equipment, That’s it. There is NO stock within 100 miles of me. Get on a list and wait until you’re called. If it’s higher and you balk, on to the the next guy.

    Looking to buy a BX23s

    I rented a BX23s from Home Depot for a day to see how it would work. Also opted for a B2601 because the 23 got jerked around a bit much when removing stumps. They are both great machines.

    New GR2120

    Drove an hour and a half, the GR had 9 hours on the meter. Had been returned in exchange for a diesel. Bad JuJu, walked after test drive. Nice lawn tractor, just not that one.

    Would you buy a tractor sight unseen?

    No, had an issue with a new tractor that was set up and failed the delivery check. Couldn’t be made to run right. Walked.

    New GR2120

    I’m on my 3rd Kubota in almost 40 years and none of them had 0 hours when i got them. B8200 HST, L2250 had about 1-2 hrs on both and they both were with me way over 30 years and sold them to get a B2601 TLBMMM. That had less than 2 hrs on it when i got it. 4 years no issues. Now, that being...

    Buying BX2680 - Can you negotiate price?

    Im looking to trade down from a 2601 TLBMMM to a BX and they aren’t budging. The really unusual fact is they all quoted the same trade value on the 2601.

    B2601 Treadle Pedal hard to use

    My 3 year old 2601 is the same. Tough in reverse. It’s the design, not a warranty defect IMHO.
