Buying Advice Kubota BX2380

[jrd1990zr1]

I recently became aware of a 2018 Kubota BX2380 with a LA344 loader and factory cab which might be for sale. 14 hours on the clock. I am having some difficulty researching a reasonable cost for the tractor since many low hour tractors are either newer, have no cab and include a belly mower. Any thoughts on a reasonable cash value for this tractor?

Also, I currently have a Ford 1320 tractor with numerous type 1 implements. Would the Kubota be able to utilize these implements, ie. a woods M-5 brush hog, a PTO driven buzz saw, or PTO driven generator?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Ford 1320 Power:
Engine (gross): 20 hp [14.9 kW]
Engine (net): 19 hp [14.2 kW]
Gear PTO (claimed): 17 hp [12.7 kW]
Hydro PTO (claimed): 16 hp [11.9 kW]

Kubota BX2380 Power:
Engine (gross): 23 hp [17.2 kW]
Engine (net): 20.4 hp [15.2 kW]
PTO (claimed): 17.7 hp [13.2 kW]

Data from TractorData.com Looks like the Kubota is slightly better. Would suggest a slip clutch on bush hog, maybe buzz saw also.

Go to Kubota/USA web site and construct BX2380 tractor on BUILD MY KUBOTA.

Value 85% to 90% of new cost. Plus you will not pay sales tax.


Make sure you obtain seller's sales receipt at time of sale. Many used tractors are stolen. No sales receipt, WALK!

Wow, the HP and PTO # are better than my Ford. Thanks for the info.

Using the "Build you Own" is a good suggestion. https://apps.kubotausa.com/configurator/BuildMyKubota.aspx?pgId=1&bmId=1130&sId=122

A couple of items you may want to consider.
1. There may have been several price increases since 2018.
2. Some dealers discount new tractors.
3. Sometime receive cash discount
4. There are promotions which can reduce price another $1,000 (spelled out on Kubota.com)
5. Financing rates may be very favorable. (spelled out on Kubota.com)
6. If the current owner is trading it in they are likely to get far less than most people think.
7. If your buying from private owner, you shouldn't be paying retail for it.
8. Need to consider current economic situation.

DO NOT OVERLOOK SKIPPERBROWN'S Suggestion!!!!
