Would you care to come and fix my steps? You are not a carpenter, but a craftsman!
What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

Decided it was time to pick up a new box blade. Dickie Bubs had the King Kutter in both the 5 and 6 foot version with the 6 foot only 20 bucks more than the 5 foot!
Well, me thinking my little B is tough as nails, I picked up the 6 footer, brought it home and hooked it up. Ha! I felt so bad for my little tractor I took the 6 footer back and brought home the 5 footer. She was struggling like crazy in 4wd low gear once the box filled up with dirt and I just didn't want to work her that hard. (-;
Note: First time taking the BH off. Was very easy! Now, putting it back on... I dunno. We'll see...

We've been getting a lot of rain and I haven't had ideal mowing conditions the last three times.
Out with the old in with the new. I traded out a 2019 BX2380 (142 hours) with 54 inch drive over MMM for a 2022 BX23S with a grapple bucket (ssqa) land pride third function 54 inch normal MMM and a thumb. The BX2380 did most of the ground work you see behind it. If I had bought the BX23S in 2019 I wouldn't of had to replace it. My needs never changed I just adjusted to use the 2380 by renting a mini x when I had enough work backed up to justify the cost at the time. Now I can take my time and finish the jobs.
Enjoy the new tractor. Nice that you found one with a loader. The Kubota dealer by me cant get loaders and says there is a year or more wait for them. I wouldn't mind upgrading to a B, but won't go without a loader for a year or more.
If you're considering a B, look at the LX. It's basically an upgrade of the big B's.

This morning I tried to lift the John Deere F835 plow off the trailer using the MX with pallet forks but it wouldn't lift it. I'm not sure how much this plow weighs but I had to hook up the M with the grapple to get it off the trailer. Admittedly the load is closer to the tractor using the grapple, but still, I was surprised.
I do like the LX, but it may be more tractor than my 5 acres needs. I was more interested in the increased lifting capacity for round bales.
It is extremely rare that someone says I wish that I went with a smaller tractor.
Yesterday, I bought a middle buster plow. The plan is to dig potatoes the next couple of days.

You guys are weird.I wish I went with a smaller tractor
My progression has been BX > MX > M with zero regrets, other than wishing I'd bought a bigger tractor from day one!My wife wouldn't allow me to do BX1880 she said no ... B2601 yes and she would pay for it. Get what I want for attachments and done. She watched GP outdoors using a B2601You guys are weird.
Noticed the auger was not hanging straight and listing to the left. The locking nut had stopped locking! The previous batch of shallow holes were in some rocky ground for plants to control erosion. Must have knocked something loose.
Get out some tools and a level and adjust. Now it will dig a straight hole.

My wife looked a bit concerned with the price I paid. But after digging holes for flowers and birdboxes and grapevines and etc, no more questions.
Next year we work on justifications for more attachments.

I want a smaller tractor. A BX with a backhoe and MMM. Wife wants the BX with MMM for yard work and mowing. I want a little backhoe because I can get a backhoe on a BX for less than I can get one for my L4701 and once in a while it would be nice to have a backhoe. No regrets with the L4701, but it’s a wee bit big for routine mowing and routine yard work.
My wife said that she would pay half for a new tractor, so I bought a new BX23S, and she gave me half of the money for it. When I sold the old tractor, she asked for her half back. To add injury to the insult, I had to pay for all the new accessories for the tractor, so in the end, I should have kept the old one instead of selling it.
