I have the BX2680....had it almost 2 years, and on an acre of land. I've only put about 80 hours on mine, but its saved me a heck of a lot of manual labor. Mainly bought it for the loader, but got the 60" mid mount mower, I've used it a few times to mow my own yard, does great, overkill? Yes, but not any worse than a lawn tractor for maneuverability. I have the reverse rotation roto tiller, box blade, and grading blade. Don't use the tiller or grading blade very often, but they work very well when I need them. I also have the quick hitch, find it very handy when switching implements, only thing is you still have to get off to hookup or unhook the PTO shaft, but saves a lot of time messing with hitch pins. I have a heck of a time getting the mower deck height adjustment to the TOP position, have to crawl under the tractor and mess with the linkage to get it to lock in the TOP position....not a very good design, you'd think after 20 years they would have come up with a much better solution. I have the 3rd function valve on my loader, haven't got to use it yet, just wanted to have it installed before it was discontinued and had to buy every part individually, I want to get the rear remote kit as well before that gets discontinued. I have the adjustable stabilizer bars as well, great investment, although now with my quick hitch I don't have to mess with them too often, but makes it easy to swap to attachments that can't use the quick hitch. The skid steer coupler on the loader is great, makes swapping from the bucket to my pallet forks very quick and easy...too bad it don't have what some skid steers have and have hydraulic latches too so you don't have to get off the tractor LOL. The fuel filter under the tractor is a PITA, pretty piss poor design and a horrible location...for what the tractor costs to see a fuel filter that is commonly found on a box store lawn tractor, its not exactly the best for Kubota's image...obviously whoever come up with that idea has never had to change that filter under the tractor. I haven't had any issues with the hydraulic coupler leaking for the loader. I bought the Kubota after my negative dealings with the Green dealer. Won't do business with them for any reason. My neighbor had an old B-Series Kubota for several years, and moved up to the LX which he still had when he passed away....he'd had the LX for a few years prior to his death, he'd go around roto-tilling everyone's garden with it in the spring. At the estate auction that tractor sold for what he paid for it, they hold their value very well. I doubt I'll ever need a larger tractor, my BX is perfect for my 1 acre property, and its small enough to fit in my shop and still have room to maneuver to move my wood working tools around when needed.
My bx 23s I've had for almost 4 years and I haven't had any leaking from my Coupler for the loader. Also the armrests are adjustable, if you looking in the backside there is a cover that pops off and there is an Allen screw to adjust the height.
@@pensfan907 I haven't noticed any leaks from the coupler for the loader hydraulics on my BX2680 either, but I only have 80 hours on it and about 2 years of use. Time will tell I guess. I don't take the loader off very often so that might be part of the reason I haven't had leakage problems with it.
The mower deck top adjustment is very easy to fix. The adjustment is a linkage sticking out next to the left rear tire. It has a bolt on the end with a jam nut. Lower deck and loosing the jam nut. Next, turn the bolt in a little and raise the deck all the way up and see if it will go into the top setting. If not, lower the deck and turn it in more and raise the deck all the way up and see if it will rotate to top position. If not, keep repeating process until it will. Once you have it adjusted leave the deck all the way up and tighten the jam nut. Now enjoy your top position.
.8 acres here, BX2380 with 175h. I’ve done a lot with mine, very versatile to lift, mulch and mow. Use lightweight implements, especially in front. I built an 8” x 15” long shovel to dig shrubs etc.
doing some research on these. Just found a 2200 for $3500 but it doesnt have the belly mower. Does have a pull behind finish mower. I think he said it has about 600 hours. For doing mowing and food plot work, what are you thioughts? Good price for it, worth the price? Are parts readily available? I like the small size of this because I have a lawn care biz. I dont need a larger tractor and dont have much use for one. But this could be used for mowing properties, and if I can find additional implements, I think it might be a good option because it will get into tight spaces.
A friend of mine stad recently died and she wants me to sell her machine . It has the front end loader and the three points in the back same model is yours and only about 59 hours on it. What's the minimum that I should accept for it ?
Hi Cindy. Sorry for your friend's loss. Hard to say what the minimum value would be, as that will vary from location to location. By me, I would guess $13k-$16k.

@@spankyhg3jx I think I was doing it wrong, I was adjusting it with the deck up. I'll give it a try with the deck lowered.
I have an acre and just bought one of these. Thanks for the review!!
I haven’t taken delivery yet!!

Throttle tension easy to adjust with a wrench. My 2021 2380 hydraulics don’t leak @ 140h now.

That quick coupler shouldn't be leaking like that. Not normal.
My husband can't get the speed (cruise) control to work. Any tips? He can't see where anything engages underneath.
Best review I have seen...no rambling....almost...but not.
