Thank you everyone for watching! Sorry for the audio at the end - mic didn't like the cold too much.

Nice overview, but glad I went with the BX23s. Thank you

I have an older 1870 and it does everything I need. Runs a brush hog and tiller without any issue.

I luv my 2021 BX 1880 perfect for my needs 🤙

I love my 1880 with 54” mower.

If you are in low range and pushing into a pile the 18hp engine isnt going to be what limits how much torque is available at the wheels. You are either going to run out of traction or hit the pressure limit on the hydrostat and put it in bypass. The smaller tires on the 1880 may or may not mean you have less traction but the smaller diameter will act like shorter gearing and provide more force for pushing into a pile.

Convinced me! It's perfect for what I need

Its a great way to break the frame of your tractor too.

Awesome and very informative video! I just bought a bx1880 last September and so far I bought the pfl1242 pallet forks and a stb0560 snow blade after I bought it I wish I bought everything together but you live and learn. When I bought it I got the wb10 with it and I got the ag tires and it has been an absolute life saver with the loader and I can’t wait to mow with it tomorrow mowed with it two times before fall was over. One question I have is do you know the arm rest kit part number? It says in my manual there is a optional arm rest kit that fits the bx1880

Thanks for the comment, unfortunately there is no arm rest kit available for the 1880 from Kubota.

Just get yourself a newer chair that has the Arm Rest on it. (Upgrade)

@@johnhershey4010 I agree, the seat from the BX2380 or BX2680 should fit, and much more comfortable and has arm rests. Love my BX2680, although in the past 19 months of ownership, I've only put 73 hours on it, but it has saved me so much work doing stuff by hand. I got the 2680 for the extra PTO horsepower as I knew I'd be running a 60" mid mount mower, a roto-tiller, and eventually a rotary cutter and hopefully sooner than later a flail mower, although never buy a flail mower from the Kubota dealer they want almost $8k for one...Betsco has one for around $2500-3000....much cleaner cut, and sits much closer behind the tractor than a rotary cutter/brush hog type mower, so I'm leaning towards a flail mower for mowing a couple pastures that are clean, but tired of beating up my mid-mount mower from hitting rocks that come up from the dang gophers.

Mine runs a 3pt chipper just fine.

the idea that the 13.7 pto hp isnt enough for the slightly large mower deck is wild. i just got off my 54 inch 12 gross hp murray lawn mower. i feel like it wouldn't be that bad

Thanks for the video. Could you possibly post a close-up shot of the 4 wheel drive control knob? I'm having trouble determining how to keep it in 4 wheel drive and how do I know it is? Ty

Its a lever on the right side of the fender next to the high and low range. Push down for 4WD, pull up for 2WD. The diff lock you push down with our left heal....kind of stupid setup, wish it actually would stay engaged without having to keep your heal on it, on rough terrain my foot bounces off the little lever all the time.

Does the 1880 have a different hydraulic pump than the othewr bx lineup? You said it will have less torque if pushing into a pile. I thought the pump is what would control the hydro power? I have always wondered on all tractors in the same frame size if the engine HP effects the transmission or if the only difference was pto HP?

@wildbill23c

The 1880 has the same hydraulic pump as the rest of the BX lineup....in less torque he means due to the lower HP of the engine you will not have as much power to push into a pile of gravel, dirt, etc. For HP ratings your higher engine HP, typically gives you more PTO HP...but it'll have the same hydraulic power regardless of engine HP, as the pumps are shared between the lineup. Same goes for the B-Series tractors, larger frame size, but they all share the same hydraulic system between the different HP line....the only nice thing going up to the B-Series is you get a 3 range transmission instead of the BX's 2 range setup. The transmissions are the same between the BX series, you just have less HP/Torque from the engine to drive it, so you have less power pushing or pulling than you do with the 23 or 26 horsepower BX machines. However, going up to the 26HP machine you quickly find you run out of traction long before you run out of torque and HP. I got the BX2680 for the additional PTO horsepower. A couple more HP makes a world of difference in heavier mowing applications and in roto-tilling applications where you are tilling at maximum depth.

Hello What is the total length of the BX1880 with the loader attached and bucket flat on the floor ? Trying to figure out garage space. Thank you

I have the BX2680, so similar footprint to the BX1880, mine is about 13-1/2 feet long from the tip of the loader bucket to the back side of the box blade. Hope that helps. Without the box blade you are looking at about 12 feet with the loader attached.

I bought a 1880 in 2021 new tax and all for 14200 cash the dealership offered 0 percent financing but I would have to pay 1000 dollars more so is it really 0 percent financing

@wildbill23c

If you figure the lowest offering of I think 3 or 4 percent interest, not taking their 0% offer, you'd save more than $1000.

They are fine for something with flat dry ground but if you have soft wet ground forget it it will get stuck everywhere

You make it sound like the 1880 is a peace of crap. Every Lessing... BX1880 is a Very go Tractor of anything out there. Wood, landscaping, 3-5 arca cutting grass. pick up a Big Pile of dirt, Rocks and stumps.

Do any of the bx models have def region save the planet stuff

Nope. They fall under the less than 26HP category....even the BX2680 doesn't have 26HP, its more like 24HP, so not sure where they came up with the 26HP nonsense, even their documentation says its only 24.8HP.

So why do you even have them for sale? If you're going to make a video like this on all the points why everyone shouldn't buy one.

It needs an engine. It's under power which is typical of Kubota.

It has an engine, and in the BX line there are 3 different models the 1880, 2380, and 2680....you can step up to the B-Series machines which are larger frame, but same HP range....trust me an 18HP diesel has plenty of power for most tasks....you actually run out of traction in many situations long before you run out of power. The BX, is a sub-compact tractor...the engine options are very well designed for their applications.
