    Buy Now or Wait?

    I bought my tractor back in May using the 1.99% for 84 months offer. When they ran my credit and we bagan the paperowork it actually came back at like 1.68% for 84 months. I asked the dealer why did it come in lower than the offer? He just kinda shrugged and gave no real answer, so I actually...

    Tractor Purchase Not Working Out, Getting Stressed

    I dont blame you not wanting to touch it. I wouldnt either. I would have stressed for them to remove it asap just so nothing else happens. I dont know what size property you have, where you live, or where you plan to use this tractor or for what, but I think I would 100% go with a B. If the...

    Road travel???

    Most places you wont have a problem, but the 100% accurate answer to your question is that it depends on the motor vehicle laws in your particular state. You would want to research your state laws, or call your local DMV and find out what the law says about Tractors and other "slow moving...

    HST Whine.....Gone.......!

    I leave my Rops folded down all the time on my tractor. I park it in my garage and I can not fit the tractor in the garage with the ROPS up, so I just leave it folded. I wish the pins weren't screwed in, because it makes folding and unfolding the rops a more annoying process. Here in Florida...

    How to get faster heat?

    I did not realize you traded the L2501. You got yours around the same time I got mine I think. That was a quick trade in! Appreciate the info though. Good to know thats normal for it to stay on the low end of the temp gauge.

    How to get faster heat?

    Its always interesting to read about these issues from some of you folks who deal with extreme cold. Im down here in Florida. The coldest weather I will ever crank my tractor up in is maybe in the 30's, and typically if its that cold I wont be outside working. More realistic winter working temps...

    Tractor Purchase Not Working Out, Getting Stressed

    Ive been still loosely following this to see how it pans out in the end. Read Chimpy's latest update and the negative responses to it. I have no negative feelings after reading the update, because I can see where chimpy is coming from. It does seem to me however that you jumped on a BX purchase...

    HST Whine.....Gone.......!

    Yea I wouldn't do this personally, for exactly the reason NIW has stated - You likely hurt the resell value of the tractor a lot by doing this. If you aren't concerned about resell value then by all means go ahead.

    landpride SB1051 on a bx1880

    yep, it would power it, but under load it would likely be really weak and not make you happy. Just to expand more, your tractor is indeed 18 engine Horsepower, which would be the bare minimum listed for the unit. PTO horsepower however is 13.7HP on your machine. Always go by the PTO horsepower...

    Do all 2019 BX tractors have them ?

    Especially on a smaller tractor like the BX, B, and L series even, if you order it without a FEL youre really killing what you can do with the machine, and only saving a little money in the grand scheme of things. I bet if you took 100 new tractor buyers who were considering not buying an FEL...

    Can a BX lift/pull a 60" GS1560 Grading Scraper?

    I would think you could make this work fine, given it is a grader. A box blade would be a tougher pull as dirt stacks up in the box, and the BX wouldn't have the weight to pull it once the resistance became too great. The problem with pulling on a BX is often down to how light it is, not so much...

    Kubota Credit

    I pay all my payments online at their website. I set up automatic payments, and so far havent had any issue with payments. I did notice however the last 2 or 3 months however they are reporting the incorrect balance on the account to the credit bureaus. I use a credit monitoring service so I...

    Tractor Purchase Not Working Out, Getting Stressed

    This post has kinda started to drift a little from the OP's situation. I see a lot of broad generalizations being made here as well. I hate when people make blanket generalizations like "Kubota dealers sure seem to have an arrogance about them". This suggests that somehow only kubota dealers...

    Do all 2019 BX tractors have them ?

    BX without a loader? Youd have to special order that I bet. You wont find one on any lot anywhere for sale I bet. On a tiny tractor like a BX, the main selling point really is that loader. If you take the loader off you just have a riding lawn mower. That said - go on a lot, find one with a...

    Tractor Purchase Not Working Out, Getting Stressed

    I agree completely with the sentiments of North Idaho Wolfman. Youre just dealing with a careless dealer, which is why I would have long walked away from this. I think the OP is being honest in his representation here. I watched his video and read through the post. I feel he is being very candid...

    Tractor Purchase Not Working Out, Getting Stressed

    I would be walking away from this already. The dealer is careless. He shows up however and probably talks a good game. Its easy to fall into that trap, because humans are emotional beings. He shows up, apologizes, seems to take initiative, seems to be trying to do you right, but all the while he...

    BX2230 3 point lift capacity

    Tractor will likely lift it fine if its within the weight limit spec. The main thing to consider when buying a ground engaging implement is wether the tractor will be able to actually pull it once you drop it to the ground. This is often more about the weight of the tractor rather than the...

    New member, almost owner.Pricing question.

    I would want to look it over very thoroughly. You never know what someone did or didnt do on equipment. It can look brand new on the outside but have been poorly maintained. I would look the tractor overy throghly for any bends, cracks, paint scrapes - looking for signs something - anything -...

    What fuel to use

    Thanks for that! Im gonna buy two of these. One for diesel and one for gas. I always worry about the funnels actually getting dirty themselves though. I always take time to wipe them down with a rag, and always get a little layer of dust/dirt that collects from residue. If you forget to do...

    Disappointed with dealer/Kubota

    I personally cut my ties quickly with a business if they do this stuff. I am a very reasonable person. I can be patient if the dealer communicates and is honest. Telling me they will update me monday and then just flat not calling tells me they really dont care. Actions speak louder than words...
