    What size rotary cutter for a BX2380??

    Got to use it couple days ago. The 2380 handled the 4' cutter no problem. Hit a small brush stump , made it vibrate for a bit, but went back to normal. I'll still take a look at it in the coming week while on vacation to make sure everything is ok underneath...

    Rip Off!

    I had one of those pedals. I ended up selling it because I didn't like how far my foot was bent back when trying to use it. I thought about trying to modify it, but am used to the front/back pedals...

    What size rotary cutter for a BX2380??

    I ended up getting a new 2021 Land Pride RCR1248 with shear bolt gearbox. I watched Marketplace/craigslist for quite a few weeks. Very rare for a 4' one to come up for sale, and was gone in a flash when they did. Most were priced only a few hundred less than a new one, so figured it was better...

    Cleaning Underside of Mower???

    I've tried many things over the 30 plus years of mowing. Still haven't found anything that lasts more than a few mowings without re-applying. I've tried Slip-Plate, Mow E-Z, Fluid Film, I even had the underside of deck sprayed with a glossy bed-liner type of coating. We also have a creek near my...

    60" Mower Deck - Height Adjustment Help

    Mine was doing same thing. Ground the pi$$ out of that little nub and bottom of the spiral gear. Works a little better. Strange thing was it was working ok to get into top position, then it stopped going into it, not being able to turn it the 1 last click into top position. Seems like a few...

    Cutting Deck Lock Out Trouble

    Thanks for tip. That front bracket has been a bugger to remove from the deck since I bought tractor, it was a pita to remove the first time I ever took deck off. It is off now, so I’ll take a look at it..

    Cutting Deck Lock Out Trouble

    Ugggh. Trick in above post did not work. Another site, someone recommended adjusting the linkage set bolt( left side, behind wheel) - no dice with that. Took deck off and had a look see. The bottom of that spiral cam has a nub sticking out on 1 side, it looks like it’s supposed to go into that...

    Bx2680 inner tie rod boot failure

    Yep, common failure item on the BX's. Get the aftermarket ones from BotaProducts and be done with it. I did them on my BX1870 within the first 2 years I think of owning it. They were still holding up well when I traded it in...

    Cutting Deck Lock Out Trouble

    Mine just started doing this also :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: . It worked before( when I bought tractor in winter and took deck off to plow driveway). I know it worked before I dropped off at dealer back in June. I went to lock it up the other day and it stops at the notch before "Top". I know the...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Finally got around to putting the R14T's on I got a few weeks ago. Quick drive around yard and to make sure they cleared deck with the 2" spacers. All good. I set the pressure to 24 psi for front and rear so it's easier for me to remember. Fronts have a max of 30 psi and rears have a 34 psi max.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Personally, I'd do sunflowers. There's a place near us that plants quite a few acres and has it set up as a business so people can wander in the fields,take pictures, has food vendors,etc. They let people cut the heads and charge $1 each flower. They have multiple different colored varieties(...

    What size rotary cutter for a BX2380??

    Ok, a question. Is a shear bolt better or worse than a slip clutch gearbox? Slip clutch RCR1248"s were $250-$400+ more( at 2 other dealers) than the shear bolt ones at my dealer. Land Pride brochure lists the RCR 12 series as matched to the BX series....

    What size rotary cutter for a BX2380??

    Well. I stopped by that other dealer and inquired about the RCR1242 they had listed at another store. I asked about the Kioti 1248 they had on lot, gave me spiel about how Woods makes them yada yada. $2495-no thanks . The Land Pride 42" ones were same price, plus freight to get them from their...

    What size rotary cutter for a BX2380??

    My dealer has the Land Pride RCR1242 rotary cutter on order, and we know what that means nowadays, but the estimated price is about same as the King Kutter XB 48" that Runnings has(they still have some RCR1248's in stock) I'm gonna stop by a different dealer near me that lists they have 2-...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Dealer trip again today, as when I picked up the R14T tires last week I saw some Land Pride quick hitches on display-the QH10 and QH15. Started doing some lookin' on the internets and decided I wanted one. Salesman told me the QH10 and QH15 weren't for the BX series(just as well, they started at...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Stopped by dealer today and picked up the full set of R14T tires that came in. Traded my R4 tires toward them, paid just over $213 for the set. Too hot to put them on, probably on my next day off...

    What size rotary cutter for a BX2380??

    Never even dawned on me about the owners manual. I just checked it- for the BX2380/2680, it states single blade maximum cutting width of 48" and 400lbs. For rear mowers(finish), 2 or 3 blade, 60" and 577lbs maximum. Weird it's different weights, unless because the rotary is longer???
