    BX1880 Snowblowing

    Kubota would be smart to end the 1880 line of tractors. Sure it works great. Especially for mowing. Does make me wonder if the engines are the same across the BX line and just tuned for higher HP as you get higher in the BX series. I know when I had my rig many years ago, it was a software...

    BX1880 Snowblowing

    Forgot to mention. The higher BX tractors have larger tires than the 1880. Others with the 1880 stated they put tires from the 23S without issues. Was told to look underneath and look at the rear end plate. Sure enough, states 23S. So I bought a set. Works great. Got about a 2 inch lift. Put R4...

    Daily Chuckle

    I broke my leg and ankle on a Honda ATC 3 wheeler. Wife wasn’t happy it happened on Father’s Day. Came home from the hospital with a cast up to my nuts.

    I just bought my first tractor!

    Congrats on the great find. That poor Kubota sitting in a field a green tractors. You didn’t steel it, you saved it from all those green tractors plotting to kill the orange one. Haha. Enjoy

    BX1880 Snowblowing

    One thing on the BX series tractors. They all have the same lifting, loader and 3 point. Just more horsepower as you move up. For not much more, check out a B series tractor. A little heavier, more lift power. I enjoy my 1880 but if I decide to upgrade, will be looking at a B series tractor. The...

    Kubota ordering system outage coming?

    Bet it goes longer. Any massive new computer system is never completed on time. They should have waited until march to do this.

    BX2380 mower deck won’t lock out on “top”

    On my BX1880, had to set it to 1 with RPMs high to drop all way down, then lift it all the way up, then crank to top. Found the dial is a notch off so the arrow shows just before 4. But look underneath to make sure those rods are not bent from hitting stuff with the mower. The slightest bend...

    What would you do?

    John, any plans for grass cutting with your B? Am considering a B but not sure yet. If you do cut grass with it, let me know how it does. Thanks.

    New trailer

    Have owned a karavan trailer in the past when I had a side by side. Great trailer. Solid. Nice to fold down the sides. Good find. Enjoy.

    New grease gun recommendations please.

    Mine took a dump a couple weeks ago. These things seem to not last very long. I went with a cheap harbor freight. A bit different as it has a constant low push of grease rather than the 1 pull for each squirt. Seems ok so far. https://www.harborfreight.com/automatic-air-grease-gun-63860.html

    Ballast weights

    I have a ballast box filled with cement blocks. It works but sticks out to far in the rear.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Put my front and rear blades on today to get ready for snow plowing duty. Have knee replacement surgery on Thursday so wanted everything ready in case it snows while I’m going through my physical therapy, which is 6 weeks. Figured I can get on the tractor and drive without issues while healing...

    Question about BX steering

    Check your tire pressure up front. If nothing is loose or mechanically damaged, check the air pressure. Tires have equal wear?

    Ballast weights

    Appreciate your replies. I like the weight version armylifer posted. After I posted this question, checked out CL for weights. Found a few ads selling barbell weights. Around 300 to 400 bucks. Cheaper than those suit case weights. Wanting around 250 to 300 lbs.. That keg is a good idea. Just...

    Ballast weights

    Were is a good place for ballast weights. The box I have is a bit intrusive sticking out in the back. Just looked at suit case weights. Are these things filled with gold? Dam they are expensive. Looking at this weight bracket to go on my 3 point quick attach. Anyone have these or is this a bad...

    What would you do?

    If your next one will not do lawn duty, might as well do it right and get a L2502. The B may get the job done but think you will regret it down the road. https://shop.kubotausa.com/buildmykubota/1-Tractors/1306-L02%20Series/L2502HST

    Tire chains for a 2024 Kubota BX1880

    A ballast box is a must. Put around 250 lbs in it. Mine has saved my butt many times when lifting. Also, a quick attach for your 3 point is great to have. Unless you like to always get off your tractor when hooking up, this will a great addition. Some like the other kind but I like mine...

    What would you do?

    The BX series has its purpose. Suggest you keep yours and add another tractor to your stable. Been considering this myself. My 1880 is great for cutting grass. Its ok for lifting but there are times I needed more. Whats better than a kubota tractor? 2 kubota tractors. Good luck deciding.

    Just looked at it closer. Won't reverse it as the lights are connected to the ROPS.
