    Rubber Floor Mats B2601

    My B2601 Same here. These mats suck. They are so lightweight that as soon as you twist your foot it immediately pops the rubber pull-through's out of the metal and the mat gets all bunched up. I have less than 25 hours on my tractor. My previous tractor was a BX2380 and it had a...

    B2310, b2601 or L2501

    Hi guys. I am fairly new to this site but the conversation is rather fortuitous. I test drove a new B2601 today and was fairly impressed with it. At first, I thought that the loader control was going to be an issue but I adapted to it very quickly and it seemed smooth. I need a MMM so I...

    Skid Plate For Subcompact Kubota Tractor ( BX2380 ) - Driving Through Snow

    I am late to the party here but I will second everyone that is saying to put a skid plate on. I bought my BX2380 in 2017 and did not have a skid plate. Went and played in the woods and it did not take too long and a stick ripped all my HST fan blades off. Since I fabricate "things" I made a...

    Any plans out there for a Ballast Box for a BX?

    Are you looking for something like this?.... I can get measurements for you if you want. I sized it so that 12, solid concrete blocks will fit inside of it. They are a couple of dollars each and weigh 33 lbs each. I currently have 10 in mine and find that that is great plenty. Also added on...

    Bx2680

    According to the operating manual, page 42 it says... "Do not operate the tractor at full speed for the first 50 hours." It also says "not to start the tractor quickly or apply the brakes suddenly." Some of the "Operating New Tractor" seems really bizarre to me. First of all, it might take...

    New BX80 Series

    The floor mat on my new 2380 is significantly different than Jhshlack's floor mat. Interesting..

    diy piranha tooth bar and bucket hooks

    I am taking delivery of a new BX2380 this coming week. One of the first things I wanted to purchase is a piranha bar, but after seeing your build, maybe I'll make my own. A buddy of a buddy has a large water jet cutter....hmmm, wonder if that thing can cut angles for the edges. Also, what is...

    MMM standing weight

    I would tell her that anything under 140lbs would be OK. :rolleyes::D You have already dug a hole, might as well keep digging. Lol In all seriousness, I can't imagine a few hundred pounds hurting anything. I used to use my JD 425 deck as a step and I'm 215lbs.

    What tire choice for new BX2370?

    I am taking delivery of my new BX2380 shortly. I don't have much to add but I am getting mine with turf. If you care about your lawn at all, you will not want ag tires. The industrial R4 sure look cool, buy I have run skid steers a fair amount and have never been utterly impressed with their...

    New BX80 Series

    Still seems like an awfully big difference between the two, esp. when I was quoted only $800 difference. I do know, as you mentioned, that volume certain comes into play with the dealerships. Are you sure you didn't make your father-in-law mad by marrying his daughter? :rolleyes::eek::D

    New BX80 Series

    Awesome!! (Except for your dad passing away, sorry to hear that. My brother passed away in October. He was only 59. It is like I lost my best friend. Just plain sucks.) Not sure if you are into old cars, etc. but down in Hood River they have an incredible aviation and car museum. I was...

    New BX80 Series

    Are you talking apples to apples between the 1880 and 1870? Meaning do both have the FEL, 54" mower and snowblower? If so, he is WAY off on the pricing differential. On my BX2380 that I just purchased it was only supposed to be $800 more for the 80 series. Turns out that I ended up paying...

    New BX80 Series

    Nice!! Congrats on the new purchase. How many acres do you have? I see you are from Washington state. My daughter is currently living near Seattle. Love that area except for the traffic.

    New BX80 Series

    I [U] just [U] pulled the trigger on a new BX2380 with loader and 54" deck. Other than the BX2370 that I drove last Friday, I haven't even seen the 2380. The sales guy told me that they don't even have it out of the crate yet. Bought it for$50 less than what I was going to get the 2370 for...

    New BX80 Series

    Another question... I originally wanted the "Fine Cut" deck because the quality of cut is important to me. I was told today that the 54" regular and the "Fine Cut" are essentially the same except for extra baffles in the "Fine Cut". Is that true? I am not interested in a mulch type of mower...

    New BX80 Series

    Ahhh. So the loaders are, for the most part, exactly the same as far as lifting capacity. Interesting. I am really starting to lean towards the 80 series. Arrrggghhh.... One other thing. The second dealer said that the rear tires come filled, but if I don't want that, I could save...

    New BX80 Series

    Hello all. New guy here. Looking at buying my first Kubota and first "real" tractor. Currently own a JD 425 but need (ok, really it's a want) loader. I'm 51, back is shot and tired of doing stuff by hand. I have a 1.5 acre property, so not really enough to justify this purchase, but I...
