I'm plugging away at 400 hr maintenance items on my BX2680. I purchased it used at about 200 hrs so this is my 1st HST fluid change. I've read the manual and watched a few YT videos. What is the deal with whether to have the loader attached? I usually remove the loader for most service. I've...

Giving my Ironcraft flail mower a workout this year with all of the rain we've had in the northeast. Was working on mid-season maintenance and a couple things came up. I was greasing the two ends of the flail axle as it is referred to. When I grease the non-drive side, no grease comes out from...

Coming up on 400 hrs on my BX2680 - getting ready for the 400 hr service items. I do a Rock Auto order 2-3 times per year and try to get everything I’ll need for the cars/truck, tractor, and other OPE. For the coolant change I was going to change out the fan belt. Kubota part # is a 16241-97013...

I'm looking for sources for lighter weight 36" pallet forks for my BX. Last year I bought a 16" carrier with 42" forks. I wanted shorter forks, but the local suppliers only had 42". The 42" forks I have are 1 1/8" to 1 1/4" thick and the blades are about 3". I can find used 36" forks, but they...

I need to come up with a low cost rear ballast option when using my FEL on my BX2680. I have been just leaving my box blade or even my tiller on the 3 pt. I'd rather have something taking up less space though, the box blade and tiller can get in the way in tight quarters. Anything with weights...

I'm looking to get a set of pallet forks for my BX2680. I'd like the SSQA frame mounted style, not bucket mount. I'm a little confused on the smaller units out there. The Class 2 forks with frame seem pretty straight forward with the 16" carriage height. It is lower capacity, subcompact tractor...

I just picked up a used Land Pride RTA1550 tiller for my BX2680. I added rear spacers last year which puts the rear track at about 4'. Figured I should get a unit with an offset. I also looked at the KK XB54" tiller at Runnings. That was going to be my back up option if I couldn't find a...

I'm in the market for a rotary tiller for my BX2680. I've read a number of other threads and various reviews. I thought I would post a thread and get any up to date recommendations. I'm open to used, but prepared to buy new. For new, my local options are LandPride, Ironcraft, and KingKutter I...

Starting on my winter projects on my BX2680 - I need to replace the inner tie rod boots. One boot was cracked slightly when I bought the tractor used and now both are cracked open. Are the Botaproducts (bxtractorparts.com) still the go-to aftermarket boots? I did see that Kubota has a...

I know oil related threads can go off the rails, but I just wanted to get some feedback from BX or other model owners in the colder winter areas of the country. I'm in upstate NY and getting ready for my 2nd oil change on my BX2680. I bought it used late summer of 2022. I changed the oil after...

I'm looking to install a block heater on my new to me BX2680 when I do a coolant change. Part no is 70000-73274. It is a screw in type rather than the freeze plug replacement on the smaller D902 BX2380 engine. I've got the install instructions from the dealer which are pretty generic, looks as...

I've had my BX2680 for about a year now, I have been very satisfied with it. I wanted to ask the forum members if there is some adjustment I could make to reduce stopping distance once you release the hydro pedal in forward or reverse. I'm used to my JD GT where the reduction is more aggressive...

I picked up a used BX2680 last year. 2019 model and was used by an older couple for their small property with some horses. It came with both a 60" mower deck and a Del Morino 60"/5' rear finish mower. I didn't get a chance to ask when they used each mower. At this point, I don't need either...

I'm looking to purchase a flail mower for my new to me BX2680. Looked at rotary cutters, but the length, for both my trailer (14') and maneuverability, made me look hard at flail mowers. I like the more compact size of the flails and from what I read and from YT videos, are quieter. I'm mowing...

Good evening - topic has probably been covered before, but a search didn't turn up that much. I'm looking for a BB for my BX2680 I picked up last fall. A 4 ft BB seems to be norm for the BX and there are many options out there in that size. My question is with regard to adding wheel spacers. The...

I picked up a used BX2680 a few months ago. It has turf tires and was used primarily for finish mowing. My planned use is more all around without much finish mowing, at least for now (loader & box blade work, tiller, flail or rotary mower). I've been searching the internet including this forum...

I'm ready to start the fluid changes on my new to me BX2680. Anyone have the torque values for the engine oil and hydro drain plugs? I don't have a service manual yet and I'm having trouble finding anything specific on the web. Torque specs on my cars/trucks are in the 18 to 30 ftlb range on the...

My new to me BX2680 was used mostly for mowing, so I've been cleaning up some grass clippings, etc. up under the bottom of the tractor. I pulled the right rear wheel to clean out that area and I found an electrical connector under the fender below the FEL control valve. Anyone know what this is...

I've been working on pulling my maintenance parts and fluids for my new to me BX2680. I'm finding the right parts and fluids and everything makes sense other than the air filter. Using the Kubota.com parts site, if I use the Quick Ref Guide for the BX2680, it lists a K1211-82320 air filter...

I just picked up a used BX2680. It was used by an older couple with a small amount of acreage and horses. It has turf tires and was primary used for mowing. FEL bucket shows very little use, I was told just for mowing manure which seems accurate. My use will be FEL work, finish mower and either...
