I'm interested in whether you'd taken that tag and put it on a different tractor, they might have delivered that to you instead......

In my part of the world, replacement value means one like what you had. If yours is 5 years old, replacement value is the price to buy a 5 year old one. What you describe we'd call a "new for old" policy - if your stuff gets stolen then they buy you a brand new one, even if yours was 10 years...

Very pretty. That grapple looks massive. Maybe it's just the angle.

They're just doing their job. If you give them a list of stuff to insure, they'll ask for the price of each piece. If you just listed it as "BX23S" then they'd have no idea that model consists of a BX2380 + loader + backhoe. You can insure for whatever price you like. But unless you have...

Again, if you care about ride quality, don't fill them. I usually recommend get the tires empty, and see if there's anything that you use the tractor for that would benefit from filled tires. If there is, consider filling them then. If not, it's one less hassle, and you get that better ride quality.

Sounds like a reasonable build. The LX2620 is just a newer model of the LX2610, and for only $850 more is probably good buying. It'll have slightly better resale than the LX2610. They made the transmission a bit quieter, and that's worth having. A few other details, there's a Messicks video that...

I think the BX23S comes with loader and backhoe attached, and so you don't get a break out of price. It's similar to a BX2380 with a loader on it and an optioned backhoe. I can't recall though if you can add a backhoe to a BX2380 or you have to buy the backhoe as part of the kit with the BX23S...

I think Baldwin are a reliable brand, and once you identify the exact filters you need, then you can just buy them over and over again. So of the reasons I use OEM, that's two ticked off already (reliable brand, knowing exactly what to buy). If you have a way to buy them at a discount then that...

All manufacturers say to only use their filters and fluids. Why wouldn't they? I generally do use Kubota fluids and filters. Why? My machine (B2601) doesn't use that many filters or that much fluid, and I don't do a lot of hours so it doesn't hit service intervals very often In my part of the...

Be careful with solvents on your skin. I used acetone to clean my hands after I got epoxy on them from doing some fibreglass. Turns out that's about the worst thing you can do, it mobilises the epoxy into your skin. I'm now desperately allergic to epoxy - when I try to do fibreglass my face...

Pictures when you get it!!

You are witnessing the destruction of the internet. You used to be able to get good advice by visiting websites run by knowledgeable enthusiasts. Not any more. That site is AI generated. It's summarising junk off forums with no discernment, and makes many of the spelling and grammar errors that...

The hydraulic reservoir needs a lot of spare room, as you say there's quite a bit of difference from all the way out to all the way in on the various attachments. I don't really think you can hurt the hydraulics by overfilling - it has an overflow. If it's not coming out the overflow, it's...

Berry bushes!! Now we're talking. Do blueberries like wet feet? Berry season could be fun. I also really like citrus, if you're near the ocean and you have water you could plant great citrus?

Sorry to hear about your wife. These things have a pretty good survival rate these days though. The 60 inch deck will be fine. I'd use it for a while and see how you go. My B2601 has a 60 inch deck, and it's fine. It's just that I'm in the "more is better" camp, and while the biggest deck you...

Tractordata is always a good source, they list most of the models: https://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/tractor-brands/kubota/kubota-tractors.html Looks like a B2100 is a 21HP machine from 1995-1999. It weighs 1500lbs / 680kg. If you want a bit more capability, and a bit newer, you're...

Brake cleaner is commonly used for things like this. Not sure why, other than perhaps lots of people have it lying around.

The small JDs aren't made by them I believe. The big JDs are good machines, but like all big corporates they get you coming and going on the maintenance and locked computer programming. Kubota do that too I guess. I'm not a fan of the small JDs. Kubota are more of a specialist in the small...

I've never done that particular procedure. But it looks to me that you could detach the tensioner spring from the left hand end in that photo. Put the belt on, then use a long (but thin) bar on the end of the spring hook, with the spring end over it. Start with it angled towards the gearbox...

I'd start at 90% of what another buyer would pay to get that exact same setup. From what I've seen I don't think it'll sell at that price, but you can always reduce and you can't increase. My logic is that someone buying a new one (for what would be 10% more) would get: Factory warranty No...
