Default NooBX

What's up Kubota aficionados!!!
New Kubota owner checking in. After a long season of push mowing, where the grass seemed to grow at rain forest rates, and winter fast approaching, I decided to pick up a BX 1860. Fall cleanup is done and the little 'bota did an unbelievable job! Thanks in part to the 48" deck.

I grew up using my Dad's Ariens S-12H which is still going strong and impresses me every time I use it. They do not build small tractors like that one any more. I think that little tractor made me a believer all those years ago..

There is nothing like the feeling of doing a job yourself and not having to rely on someone else to plow you out. I have a fairly long driveway and chose the 50" front snowblower to clear the snow. More implements on the way as my addiction grows

Here's a couple shots while she's still pretty!







About the forum name: its my nickname and the 4 is for this, the other money pit! Cheers!

Good to have you aboard. Great looking machines. I bet the tractor outlasts the truck though...

Nice machines both; love Kubotas and Toyotas. My Toyotas last a minimum of ten years. With the proper care, both can last almost indefinitely.

Yours may already have the improved skids, so you might want to check.

I already have quite a few attachments, but there always seems to be more available.

Kubota kinda seems to take the "work" out of work.

Hey 'Bota brother! Nice new toy.....machine! You'll enjoy that tractor for sure. I'm a fairly new member as well, taking delivery back in April '09? (Can't remember that far back) There is a wealth of advice and real knowledge here, and you must check out BXpanded for some little nice-itties to help you manage your equipment I too have a black Toyota Sequoia. My understanding is that Kubota is the Toyota of the tractor industry, so it appears that you are a wise man. And you can tell yer wife I said so! Enjoy the Toys!
