Default Kubota BX2380 or 2BX2680 owners

Looking at purchasing one of these tractors, I have did some research and they sound pretty bullet proof, those that have owned one of the BX Kubota's, how has it worked out?

Glasgow is pretty dry country a lot of the time.

Kabota is an excellent tractor.

I have never heard a negative review on any of the Kabota tractors.

Be safe and catch a bunch at Fort Peck.

I just bought a BX1830 that had 50 hours on it. Too early to tell for me, but it seems like a solid unit. I’m having a front loader installed at the moment. The tiller worked my garden up great and the mower deck seems to do a good job. My deck is 54” and I wish it was 60”.

Have a 2680 now. Drive on belly mower, front snow blower, and loader. GREAT lawn tractor and snow moving machine. Bullet proof is an understatement. Have had Kubota machines for over 10 years, tractors and mowers and never had a problem with any of them. Recently retired and down sized to the 2680, and amazed how much you can do with it. Diesel, 4x4, with power steering, a real pleasure to use and simple to maintain.

I had an L3300 for 18 years when I lived on 40 acres. One small problem fixed under warranty when new. I traded down to a Bx2200 when I moved onto 1.5 acres. It has about 850 hours on it now and I replaced a power steering hose and just last week the electric fuel pump. Kubotas are rock solid as far as I'm concerned!

I have a BX2200 from 2001, a few hydraulic hoses over the years as expected, change the fluids and use it. 1300+ hours.

We have a 2016 BX2370. Love the tractor!! Perfect size. Has 200 hours on it now. No issues. Fires right up in the winter. We have a bucket and belly deck finish mower. Gonna get a tiller and front blade this year.

Thanks for all the replies, they do sound like they are stout machines. To those that have had a snow blower att, how does it handle drifts say 2-3 foot deep?

No problem with big drifts. I have a hydraulic lift and spout turn on our front mount blower that works off the loader hydraulics so I can raise it and hit a high drift a couple of times. Never an issue of too much snow, or snow that is too wet and heavy either. Just take it slow and you'll be fine. One advantage of a rear 3pt hitch blower is that you can keep the loader attached. Nicer sometimes, but I like not having to look over my shoulder while backing into snow. Much easier to control with a short wheel base tractor. I did install a weight bar on the 3 pt. to compensate for the weight of the front blower and to give more traction.

Have you shopped any of the Branson compact tractors? My brother has the 2515h and he has nothing but good things to say about it. The front end lift capacity is very large for the class.
