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

I appreciate the real-life perspective from someone who owns and uses the machine. Keep it up!

Thanks for a good review, warts and all. Looking at one now to replace my 22 YO Kubota TG1860 Diesel, primarily for cutting a 4-5 acre lawn. We have 3 Kubotas; this one, an L3200 with all front and rear attachments and an M8540 for pasture mowing. We've been thoroughly satisfied with all of 'em. And a good dealer to boot. Appreciate all the things you pointed out on this lawn tractor.

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. 👍😁💗

Just got my bx23s and I love it!

Thanks for keeping it real!!im with ya 100%..

I love the way this guy explains everything thanks a lot...

Thank you for taking the time to make the video. This video is quite helpful.

thanks for your input, it has been very very helpful to me!

Awesome review, purchased bx 2380 2 months ago and love it.

Dude you’re awesome!! Love you’re tractor! Good purchase!

probably the best BX2380 review out there.. A++

Looking to buy a tractor and I found that this video was very helpful. Thanks for spending the time.

nice work man, thanks for the solid, objective review. Helps me a ton with my similar needs.

I'm convinced good review,you added enough to my knowledge base to make my decision.kubota BX 2380 is for me!

Great review my man! I've been genuinely curious about these tractors and learned a lot!

I just purchased the 2680, absolute screamer of a machine, love it.. Great info you have given there

Nice review! Just bought a new BX 2380. Sold my 11 year old BX 25 for a few thousand less than I paid for it!! Tractors aren’t like cars😆 they hold their value and do so many things. I wanted the new quick attach units, bought a ton of attachments and can’t wait for some more snow and for spring. I bought a grapple too😃. Love Kubota and their products and all the improvements in the last 11 years👍. Enjoy your 2380!

This video was great! Im getting my bx2380 delivered next week, and am super stoked. I bought mine for the exact same reasons.

Great review. Just bought a 2380 and can’t wait to use it. Financing was great 0% for 60 months. Your honesty was on point about the size of the tractor and needs for small farms.

Loves the views of the subject BTW.

I like the sub compact and compact tractors. They are a lot of fun to use. At work, we have an L series. Sometimes I wish we had more tractor, sometimes I wish we had less tractor. It depends on what you're using it for and how much room you have to turn around

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.

I’m excited to see how the newer r14 tires work in my land. Thanks for the video!!!

Great review. Thanks

Great review and helpful hints. I work for a big end equipment company and understand when a brand will not listen to customers needs, I see it everyday and its only money out of customer pockets later...trust me on that. I have gone through 5 mowers in thee past 8 years and none will hold up to the 3 acres and the 60 degree slope, I've had a zero turn now for 4 years and the hydros have just failed, $6k paper weight and $1200 repair, nope, I'm glad I found this video. thanks and keep the help coming. And btw, Kubota engines are excellent, Takeuchi uses Kabota engines in their equipment and I have never touched one for a failure.

Dude I loved your review! Fixing to get one just like it, and yes I'm new to it too so thanks

Great video! The BX tractor is an awesome tractor.

Good review, Mike. There is another channel that has that tractor and he uses it like a beast. It is a great addition to a homestead.

Great video thanks for sharing your options I been looking at 2 different brands for a while

Just got one for Christmas......great for cutting its way through long grass!

Just caught this. Just bought my 2380 today and looking forward to cleaning up my land.

Very helpful video. I have been researching and have narrowed down my focus to Kubota, Deere and M-F. All have their strengths and weaknesses and I particularly liked your balanced review as I found that there is a lot of opinion out there!

I’ve have my BX2380 for over 2 years and absolutely love it! I use it for mulch,sand, crushed rock, and snow. I have multiple implements and don’t regret it one bit! The price and 0 interest for the life of the loan is great.

Nice video man u will love it.. I owned a 2380 for 10 months and than got a 23s..

Great video, I see your correction on the Yanmmer motors in fact that,s why I went with Kubota because they do make there own motors and all metal great tractor I had my BX 2370 for years and very happy with it just wish I had the quick release bucket

Can't ask for a more thorough/honest review for the positives or negatives. Allows us to make a down-the-road purchase with our eyes wide open. We trust your opinion. Nice !

Liked it! Buyin' a 2380 today.

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. This is my first tractor and so glad I bought it for around the house. I'm not getting any younger and just cleared a thicket in 1 hour. It would have taken me 2 days by hand.

As long you happy that matters brother 👍👍👍. Don't worry what people think or said, just for you and your family and happy 😊😊😊.

I have a couple acres and think this will be perfect. Good stuff!

Good stuff, thanks

I love my bx1880... and i love john deere also and still chose a kubota, i couldnt beat the financing and quality

Great video mike, I just picked up my 2380 on Monday and already have 8 hours on it. Best purchase I’ve ever made and was absolutely impressed with the cut quality when I cut my yard yesterday

I got a bx2360 and love it does what I need it to do and make my life easier on my homestead and very cheap to run compared to the John Deere I had a few years ago and is more practical than the JD was .

Great video. Short and to the point. Very helpful. I’m looking for a Kubota BX. Northern Wisconsin and large K dealer is 3 miles away. Thanks again for your practical advise and your personal experience with the BX.

I haven't looked into tractors for many years now. I drove a 65 horse New Holland with cab & frt loader on 60 acres of hay fields. I am about to start a high tunnel farm so I'm looking into a tractor that can go inside to work the soil after each harvest so obviously I'm looking at sub compact & compact and these little tractors are actually really cool. Kubota is a good brand of tractor but sub compacts in general are really cool. Personally I would choose the first level of tractor without the belly mower because I have a mower & I need a tractor for my high tunnel business

You can THINK For Yourself and THAT MATTERS!!! Thank you more than you'll ever know!!!

ive got 25 hp kioti similar to yours on 4 acres same tread pattern loader and mower --no drive over.really enjoy it probably going to get piranna blade for loader --need to dig septic tank

I have ordered BX2680 to replace a 10 year old BX25 which had over 5000hrs on it, I love this size tractor they really punch above their weight.

Thanks for the video! I’m going to get me one....maybe today🤔

good job..............

thanks for the review... thinking about getting one...

I have the BX2680 and love it, I have had all colors and believe it or not, they all break. It beats using a shovel and I recently got almost 800 cu yds of mulch dumped and moved it all with my tractor and created winrows. From there I can unhook my front end loader and cut my grass, then hook up a tiller and till my garden. It is small but but built solid.

Great rant!

good job ty

I would like to add a comment about removing and putting the mower deck back on. If you set the deck height to the lowest setting, it is easy to pull the pins. But, after you do.. 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.

As a city boy with no experience on mowing or tractoring and building a new house on 9 acres I found your video very entertaining and helpful. I think I am still going to get a zero-turn though to go with a BX. Thanks for the video!

Great video! I feel the same way about it. You can call my BX 2380 a lawnmower if you want to but it does everything I need it to. My riding lawnmower couldn’t handle it and I broke the transmission. Love my tractor or whatever you would like to call it.

I don’t have the drive over and have had minimal issues with taking it on/off. Front bracket is much easier to access. But the rear arms take a little help getting linked up. You can lock in the mmm arms by raising the pto and setting your height adjustment to ‘top’ it won’t move when lowering the rear implements. I ended up getting mine for 0 down 0% for 60 months. Got it Valentine’s Day and pushing 40 hours.

The roll bar is awesome also with the cover for shade in the summer and just in case it starts raining when your mowing. As for the tires we had flats alot but I fixed that buy filling all 4 tires with the exspanding foam and filled them up. I have never had a flat again. You just have leave the tires off and leave them over night so the foam will harden up good.

Great practical review !!!!

Great video, agree very much with your decision, heck my 2380 is coming in next week. As you said, perfect size and financing...wow, got .99 for 84 months. Cant wait to use it. New toy or should i tell the wife "new tool" ha.

You can do a pile of work with these small tractors they are amazing. I have a b2650 and love it

Love your information. I have a BX2380 love it. One complaint the front tires suck. Dont need lawn mower tires on a tractor with a loader. Rear tires are great. Love orange.

Great videos. I ordered a 2680 but I won’t get it for 6 months. I really like the no shit, straight up review. Thanks.

Good review. I am getting a bx23 this week and it came down to all steel and price/financing.i think they were the 1st or one of the first to inttroduce sub compact tractors. I already have neighbors and 1 man contractor friends wanting to hire me out for small jobs. I may also put a video review out and i enjoyed yours thanks.

Great video!

Mikey! Nice review bud👍 I got a job for ya 😁 God bless you all and keep you safe

Dude, I love and enjoy your videos, I'm new the channel and I'm learning a lot. Thinking to buy a Sub Tractor and you game tons of info and ideas. Thank you

Thanks!

Thank you for your time and information. We just got 12 acres 1.5 is bush hog up front, woods behind. Im looking for a small tractor to use a front loader bush hog on back. Clearing tall weeds,twigs clear a path to a barn set up. Maybe make a path to the pond. It has a good slope all around so rain goes to the pond. This seems better than the bx1880.

Very nice setup hoss

I’ve had two BX series tractors. Bought my first one in 2002, a BX 2200. I paid $9500 for it and cut grass with it for ten years and racked up 1100 hrs on it. I sold it for $5000. Replaced it with a BX 2660 in 2012. It has almost 900 hrs on it now. Both tractors have pros and cons and one area Kubota engineers HAVE NOT addressed is the primary fuel filter which is located under the main floor pan between the frame rails. It is a pain to change unless you remove the deck or become a contortionist. I have filled out suggestion cards and sent emails about adding a small access panel under the rubber covering on the foot area of the tractor. Other wise They have been great mowers/tractors and I’m looking to pick up a new BX2380 at the end of the year. Good review ! Thanks

Good owner review!!!

Great review and details. I went 1025R and find the mower trick is flat land is critical for on or off the mid mower. Like the Kubota one pc loader hose connector.

I had a 2370 and now a 23s with drive over deck. Both are a pain. I’ve messed up some lawn trying to get the driver over on. Took awhile but now I have it down. I think my non- drive over was a better cut but can’t tell you why that would be a difference. 6 years with BX tractors and I couldn’t live without it. I’m only on 1 acre but it’s as useful as a pocket knife. Always seems to be the solution for projects. Get the fuel filter relocation kit. If your in cold climate you won’t regret it.

Just ordered my bx2380 yesterday. Should have it by this weekend.

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.

Nice review changed my opinion on Kubota

Great video! I've been thinking about getting one just like that. I really like my L3301 kubota. I think Kubota's are great tractors and I think john deere are good too. I chose kubota. 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

Neighbor must of heard you mowing your lawn and decided he needed to LOL

Awesome review. I have a John Deere gx345. Would like to upgrade to a 2380 at some point 👍

Late to the party here, but I love the channel! One thing, Kubota makes their own diesels so you definitely don't have a yanmar in the BX! Yanmar is a fine motor but Kubota builds the very best small diesels. Thanks for the content! New subscriber for sure

It’s better than a yanmar Engine... it’s a Kubota Engine.. Multiple other tractor company’s actually use Kubota engines.

Tractors to some people are like a klick in highschool don't sweat it. If it suits your needs it's perfect.

Whatever works best for your situation! Make means little to me as long as it has a good reputation, will last a long time and gets done what I need it to.

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.

I have the same tractor and use it on 6 acres. I bought it for the same reason you did. Mainly it’s size. I wanted to cut 1 acre of lawn, (finish mower). Lug mulch around in the spring,(front bucket). Hog 3 acres of field,(bush hog). Push a 1/4 mile driveway,(plow) Till my garden patches,(tiller). On and on. The tractor works flawlessly. I also found small gripes. My major one is the narrow wheelbase. I’ve come close to tipping with only a small load in the bucket. I’m going to buy wheel spacers to try and help that.

Loved your video. No bs, clear and really helpful as I move up from, an early property, bought a 1988 JD Model 170 (1acre, just grass) to now with a large, older property with long gravel driveways, 2acres of grass, and some wooded land. Next is my retirement groundskeeper job to earn my keep. Great comments for me: heavier tires! - Will not hurt grass, shorter roll guard - to clear normal garage, level land - for front end loader - excellent, and upgraded drive-over mower deck. Worst part of small tractors = mower deck install 😠😡🤬 Keep ignoring the rude jerks, it’s a darn tractor, not your daughter’s reputation for crying out laud…

If you read the manual it explains exactly how to open the hood it's done that way on purpose so the hood doesn't vibrate.

Great video. I got one and works great. Need video to add fluid to tires. Would like a video of your plow?

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.

Yea baby , you a little turnt up, I like that

Good video, thanks. I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on one of these. Just to make sure the 1880, 2380, and 2680 can not add the backhoe? Just the BX23S? In the BX series.

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've always been under the impression not to use chains with AG tires because most of the times the chain is inside the lugs and not exposed to the ground
