    BX1880 actual part differences/specs questions

    Thanks for that. Just knowing that people upsize the tires on 1880s tells me half of what I need to know. I checked and all the JD 1 Series do have the same tires/wheels as the 23 and 2680. Also after a quick look at the part numbers on Kubota parts it appears that the 1880 does share at...

    BX1880 actual part differences/specs questions

    HI All, I recently purchased a 2nd hand BX1880. I love it! It's used at my small home property, less than an acre, and used predominantly as mower. Over the past several many years I've had a John Deere 1023 and 1025, as well as a Kubota AWS G1900. The 1880 would run circles around the Deeres...

    New BX owner, looking for info on mower deck compatibility

    Hi all, I’m a Kubota owner....again. I already have a G1800, among other equipment of various colors, but I just bought a used BX1880 to take its place. I would like to replace the 54” deck with a 60”. I’ve done some research and searching around and it seems like the 60” decks will work on the...

    What's a fair price on like new B3200 w/ 49 hours, are they reliable?

    Re: What's a fair price on like new B3200 w/ 49 hours....are they reliable? If I went new that's the route I'd definitely go as opposed to the 3350. Was really hoping to get at least 20+ pto hp though to run chippers, shredders, heavier duty flail mower. I did prefer the hydro pedal setup of...

    What's a fair price on like new B3200 w/ 49 hours, are they reliable?

    Thanks for that. I wish there was a slope I could test the hold back on. The guy's yard is as flat as can be, as just about everything in the eastern Carolinas. Just the driveway on the mountain property is around a 10-17% grade in most spots. I'd like to know that the hold back in at least...

    What's a fair price on like new B3200 w/ 49 hours, are they reliable?

    Yeah, with the 1023 its just 'high' and 'low'. Used to using 'high' most of the time on the 1023 and so that's were where I started with the B3200. Never really got it much over 2k rpms driving it around but it was still 'scary' fast in 'high'. I did work my way through 'M' and 'L'. I think I...

    What's a fair price on like new B3200 w/ 49 hours, are they reliable?

    Thanks all. Yes, I've tinkered with all sorts of vintage European sports cars over the years and dare I say that tractor was....fast! I guess the older I get I'm finding that tractors are starting to fill the mechanical void in my life, while being cheaper (though its getting more expensive...

    Re: What's a fair price on like new B3200 w/ 49 hours....are they reliable? Wow, that sounds like you stole it! Interested in selling,... j/k... but not really ;) There's a low hour, but well sun-baked B3200, with an aftermarket backhoe, for a good chunk of change more than the one I'm...

    What's a fair price on like new B3200 w/ 49 hours, are they reliable?

    What's a fair price on like new B3200 w/ 49 hours....are they reliable? Hey all, Just joined up the other day and started a thread about considering purchasing a new 3350 at the dealer. The dealer brought up that it would need some special care and handling in its operation since it has a DPF...

    Considering up-sizing from JD1023 to Kubota B3550

    Thanks and really appreciate the input. Fortunately, or unfortunately, stayed up all night last night reading up on the issue. I came to the conclusion that even if the tractors are somewhat reliable at this point all the work involve in constantly idling up, turning on/off, ect are close to...

    Size matters to my wife.

    Small world. I just joined the forum after looking to test ride a 3350 at the local dealer down here in Wilmington, but the only had a 2601 on the lot. In your shoes as well in trying to get a feel if a 3350 will fit and maneuver around a 1 acre home property at all for most of its use, while...

    Considering up-sizing from JD1023 to Kubota B3550

    The dealer actually did talk about the DPF. He said to make sure to at least run it around at >2000 rpms. Otherwise the filter may prematurely block up and I'd have to bring it in for them to clean out or something along those lines. Wasn't aware that there was that much of an issue with them...

    Considering up-sizing from JD1023 to Kubota B3550

    Hi all, First post as I'm at the early stages of considering up-sizing from JD1023 to Kubota B3550. The 1023 has served me extremely well up until this point; at the time of purchase to me it had the best attributes to match the duties I had planned for it and have not been disappointed. The...
