ATTENTION : I was incorrect about the make of the Kubota motor and it being a Yanmmer. Kubota makes their own motors which are better or as strong as the Yanmmer 👍

I just bought this tractor! So your video was very informative. I got zero percent financing for 80 months. I got it with a belly mower, bucket, and brush wacker. 22 k

That is a great little tractor. I have a BX23s and love it!👍

I appreciate your review and the honesty on everything. This is what I have been looking for and what I need. I do everything myself and this is much easier to do things with then some tractors I have looking at. 👍😁💗

Great point about dismounting the bucket only on level ground. I learned the hard way. Even the pitch to my center drain in my garage was enough to create a problem. Once I put shims under the bucket, things worked perfectly.

Kubota is a good brand of tractor but sub compacts in general are really cool.

I just liked it's setup better than John Deere. Except for the treadle pedal. That is my biggest dislike about it. I'm still sticking with it though. The rest is great

I went with the B2601 as I have a jungle to tame and got a rotor tiller. Was torn between it and a BX. Easy to buy and got 0% for 60 months and was able to finance all my implements at that rate.

I agree with you 100% on tractor choice. There are many good quality tractors out there. Buy what is right for you. I owned an old International tractor but wanted something with more features. I looked at most brands. I now own a Massey Ferguson GC2610, similar in size to the BX series. I bought the Massey because I got a great deal on a slightly used tractor. That was the deciding factor. I am very happy with it, but would I be equally happy with another brand? Perhaps. Have a good weekend.

Raise the height to "top" position. It will be easier to get to the PTO shaft! Then undo the front pin, and pop it off.

I was wandering if you were mowing with a ZTR before the Kubota, and do you miss the ZTR as far as mowing, that's the only thing I'm worried about, I've got so used to mowing with a ZTR. its not as much as the time as the aggravation of the maneuvering around things. Thanks

I'm looking at purchasing the BX2680 here very soon so watching as many reviews and information videos as I can. I enjoyed your video pointing out the good and bad....sure everyone that builds tractors has good and bad, but so many reviews are just the cool stuff, they never mention problems they've had, etc. Thanks for being honest. I was going to go with a green tractor, but the dealer near me just didn't seem all that great when it came to wanting to give me a demo of their machines. Kubota brought a tractor to my property and let me use it for a day and it was the major selling point. Being able to use the tractor for a day to do things I'd need a tractor for, and got to use it as I saw the need. The green company just wanted me to drive one around their lot...what does that prove? Nothing. Any tractor can drive around a lot. The only thing I'm wondering is should I get a mower deck now? I have a lawn tractor so its not like I need a mower. I only have an acre, so its not like I need a huge mower deck...I have room for a 54 or 60 inch deck, the tractor itself just doesn't fit in some places of course. Don't know if there's really a reason to buy the mower when I buy the tractor, or if I could buy a mower later on in the future if I find the need. It would be great to mow my ditch though as a 54" mower with the wider stance of the tractor would easily straddle the ditch...gets very sketchy with my lawn tractor. Mostly want the loader capability and attachment ability for future needs. Your reasoning buying your 2380 is why I'm looking at the BX series too, its small, it'll fit in my barn, it will fit anywhere on my property, with only an acre I don't need or want a huge tractor. I just want it to do some light landscape work when needed, move some dirt/gravel around, maybe mow the lawn at some point with it in the future. Its better to buy what I need now than try and figure out how the heck to buy something bigger with limited funds in the future when I realize that don't work LOL. The 3 Point hitch is another future needs type thing, if I want or need a box scraper, brush mower, etc. all the stuff I need is there. I do plan on getting my tractor with rear hydraulic ports, as well as the 3rd function valve on the loader, just never know what I may want or need. That front plow is awesome, saw one in use a while back, that thing was just about a blur when swapping between the loader and the plow...only took the guy a few minutes to swap and with the plow setup the way it is, you aren't dealing with those push tubes that so many plows have where you have to crawl under your machine to install and remove this just attached right to the front.

The mower deck is awesome and cuts very well but I to have issues with it fitting in some spots but I’m planning on doing landscaping to correct that issue. The plow and loader is super to take on and off but the mower deck not so much when it comes to putting back on. It’s not the worst but it’s work. One thing I will tell you is this tractor is light so get weights or a balance box as I’ve had issues hauling loads going down hill . She’s bucking bronco with the bucket full lol .

It isnt so much "proprietary" On the 1025r I think I like the john deere quick attach because it weighs a lot less than the skid steer quick attach. Anybody that sells buckets makes them for both. That said. I'm still hard-core on the fence lol

The only thing I have a complaint about is the hydraulic handle that controls the front end loader. The bucket is fine and it works fine, but, if I get into some movement situations I get tangled up and when I turn around, the lever gets moved up, down, sideways, etc. I’d preferred to have the lever back on the right side of the console as it was on previous models.

I didn’t get to experience that to know if I would prefer that location or not. But I can say that the manifold they use is a little tricky one scoop in rock when I’m trying to tilt back. But that could just be me or my tractor in particular

I want to weigh in here:: The drive over mower deck is new, I was afraid of it so I opted for the tried and true slide under unit. After all I'm use to it Have it on my other Kubota too, We're a 2 Kubota family First was a 2010 BX2360, new one is a BX23S. First winter I had the 2360 I believe it paid for itself. I've been doing Yard work for people for years along with a regular job. Only reason I got the BX23S is that I was missing out on too much work because I didn't have a backhoe. The old regular deck only takes a few minutes to either remove or install. Secret is getting the rear wheels up on a 2 inch piece and using the loader to lift the front end. First thing to hook up is the PTO shaft, then the lifters. then the hook up on the front. I don't use it much for cutting grass, went to Bad Boy Outlaw years ago (Love orange) When them fellas with the deere Johns start stuff, tell em crops are green, tractors supposed to be orange. Makes em easy to find.

Great comment and I would loved have got the S model but budget was a factor. I’m dreading to install the deck but once it’s done it’s done lol
