BX2660 Kubota
Love it!
Model Year: 2011

This is my first tractor. I bought it to replace an ATV which just wasn't enough to plow my 1/3 mile driveway. I bought a Curtis Snow Pro plow but haven't used it to date (1/7/12)! You can thank me if it never snows again. It has a FEL and I picked up a 48" rotary cutter on CL for $500. I added Bro-Tek wheel spacers on the rear to add stability on my side hill. I've dug out the ditch along my driveway with the FEL and I've graded it nicely with a borrowed rear blade. It skids logs, even uphill, like butter. I've been having a ball with it clearing land and lumber-dinking around my 14 wooded acres. Dealer is nearby and has been great.

Pros: Great workhorse with lots of power and endless attachments.
Cons: Should come with skid plates for us woods dwellers but I see a new welding project in my future.

Have a hard sided cab (Curtis) w/heat and it just make the job of snow blowing a pleasure rather than a chore. The front mounted blower works great with a heavy box blade as ballast and chains on the rear. With the loader, my wife refers to it as my wheel barrow with a cab.

Pros: Excellant quality and well thought out tractor.
Cons: A little shy on ground clearance. Quick hitch must be removed for loader.

Kubota BX2660- 10; Massey Ferguson GC2300- 6; Craftsman W/ 25 hp - 4!
Model Year: 2011

So far, this BX2660 has surpassed expectations! It mowes (54" belly) level and thorough. It "bushhogs" (48" rotary cutter) like a hot knife through butter. It maneuvers much easier between and around my several thousand trees. The engine, though the rpms are higher than the GC2300, is more economical ... and powers through 3' to 5' weeds and dew-heavy grass. I just performed winter "PM" on it. Took off the deck so I could put on chains. Turf tires are perfectly "doofless" on snow and ice. Now I can install the logsplitter and haul the trailer out to collect winter - damaged trees for the wood-burner. My dealer installed auxiliary hydraulic outlets / controls for the 3 point mounted 2 way splitter.

Pros: The BX2660 is a workin', refined, maneuverable tractor!
Cons: The seat is a heavy pain to tip up. I usually tip my seat wo keep from smokin my butt (sunshine). or to keep it dry, rain or snow.

Small but Capable
Model Year: 2010

We use the BX2660 for our vineyards, with 6' row spacing. Its one of the smallest conventional style tractors that can pick up a 50 Gal sprayer on the three point, and it has enough PTO to keep up with tilling and flail mowing at better than walking speed. It's top speed in high range is only about 8mph, so you will want to use a trailer to move it any distance. The 2 range Hydrostatic transmission has a hand throttle lock or "cruise control" to allow for constant speed operation and the controls are well laid out and labeled with diagrams that are self explanatory. MFWD works well, though with a heavy load on the back you will want weights on the front to keep it from understeering. I fashioned a bracket from a bigger tractor and hang 4x55 lbs to balance my spray rig. Be careful that you don't conflict with your front end loader cylinder, I bent a few hose fittings before figuring out there was no clearance if the bucket was below grade. Lubrication points are well located and accessible, and every 10 hrs greasing is no issue. The 50 hr fluid change is simple to do, and the engine compartment is neat and everything is reachable. the cooling fan is mounted towards the driver, which reduces the dirt that is drawn over the engine and the amount of dust blown back on your boots. My wife can handle with ease, including driving on and off the trailer, and the hitch is flexible enough to handle all of our implements. There's a small compartment in the seat back for manuals or other paper work, but no place for a tool box. Anything placed in the cup holder bigger than your truck keys will probably bounce out. A12V cigarette lighter outlet is under the seat for auxiliary power, and I'm mounting an Ipad in front of the wheel to log spray passes with the GPS, The Rigid ROPS catches on the landscaping and orchard, but that's about the only quibble I have with it. The seat is close to the wheel and pedals, so that at 5'11" I feel a bit like I'm driving a toy but that's part of making a subcompact. welded a 2" hitch receiver to the drawbar plate and use it to pull a small trailer at harvest. We bought our Kubota from the San Jose branch of Lampson Tractor, (Lampson may be a great dealer but they closed their San Jose branch for cause, their salesman was stealing from customers... )

Pros: Small (42" wide), capable, low fuel use, quiet.
Cons: Rigid ROPS, leg room.

Mini-Might
Model Year: 2010

I've used this tractor for two seasons now. It goes through and cuts tall brush; the FEL has infinite uses (most recently moving firewood) and does snow duty in the winter months; the 4x4 works without issues; diesel sips fuel and has power; the addition of a rear tow bar is great for moving fallen trees; and this mini-might is great for getting in and through tight spots. I don't think you can go wrong with this tractor. The only thing I miss is not having a backhoe... but that's just an excuse for me to get another tractor down the road.

Pros: Dependable & sturdy.
Cons: No backhoe (which I knew when I purchased it).

Awesome Little Machine
Model Year: 2010

This tractor is a powerhouse for it's size. Handles a 60" deck in tall grass with authority. When using ground engaging implements, you run out of traction before you run out of power. The 4wd is especially useful when working with the bucket. For the garden and yard chores it's tops. There are a couple reasons why I only gave it 4 stars in features and build quality. 1. The vulnerability of the plastic transmission cooling fan and transmission oil filter. Damage the fan, and you have to take the engine off the mounts and move it forward to replace it. The transmission oil filter is also in a vulnerable position underneath and if punctured without being noticed, could ruin your tranny. 2. The position of the 3PH lift lever. It's mounted low on the side console, so if you are twisted around watching an implement, you can't reach the lever without also leaning forward. A little foresight during design would have made this ergonomic oversight an easy fix. Basically, If you need a high end, powerful mower with some dirt moving capability, this is your machine, look no further. If you want a mini tractor that you expect to be able to go out to the back 40 and bushhog with, look to the B series. The B's have more ground clearance and are better suited for off-lawn operation.

Pros: High power to weight, 4WD, comfortable seating, power steering.
Cons: Low ground clearance, tranny oil filter and cooler vulnerability, control ergonomics.

So far so good for this tractor. I really love the way this tractor works. I have a 60 inch blade on the front of it and the rear tires loaded. Pushes snow with ease!!

Pros: 25.5 HP. 4WD. Ease of use.
Cons: Can't find one.

I have seven acres to mow. Mostly level ground. Also have a 500 ft. gravel driveway to maintain. This tractor with 60" MMM does a good job of mowing. However, if the grass gets a little to high it tends to windrow the cut grass. The FEL is perfect for the chores I encounter here. I have no issue with the turf tires that came with the tractor. That might change this winter pushing snow, but I will be putting the ballast box on for that task.

Pros: All in all a good reliable tractor that is very fuel conservative.
Cons: Windrows grass, digital hour guage/ RPM guage almost impossible to see.

The tractor with the mower attachment does a great job mowing my yard. However I've been waiting since the time I purchased for a grass catcher attachment. When I picked up the tractor, after several uses I checked the transmission fluid and it needed almost a gallon of fluid added to it. The dealer sent me a free gallon of fluid to add to it. The mower deck is kind of hard to take off and mount back for cleaning and greasing the fittings. Overall the unit runs well and is built to last a long time.

Pros: Sturdiness and built to last.
Cons: Attachments are kind of difficult to mount.

Overall this is a great little machine. We have a little over an acre and the machine is perfect in size. My wife uses it for her gardening as well as cutting the grass. I have maxed out the lifting capacity digging in the soil but I have learned to take smaller bites and it works just fine. The 4 wheel drive feature allows us to navigate our hilly terrain easily. Overall a great machine for the price.

Pros: Ease of operation, good on fuel.
Cons: Some fit and finish was weak.

Good small multi-purpose tractor
Model Year: 2010

This tractor is very nice, very comfortable to drive and does most acerage chores with no struggle. The three point lift system is just a basic non position control system, which makes it a pain when plowing small fields or using a box scrapper on a driveway. The hydrostatic transmission whines a lot especially when under load. MMM can go through thick grass in hilly terrain with little difficulty. It is a light tractor so if you will be using the FEL then get a balast box. Too many times have I had the balast box attached with 210Lbs weight in it and I still managed to put both front and one rear wheels in the air. The optional cab is very nice, but loud inside and the engine tends to run on the hotter side. All in all this tractor never ceases to amaze me on it's ability.

Pros: Comfortable drivers area, lots of power for little tractor, and very little downtime.
Cons: Hydrostatic transmission loud, runs hot, too light for it's size, 3 point lift system should have position control and draft control.

Good strong tractor
Model Year: 2009

I have had this tractor for a couple months now and put this machine through it's paces. Front End Loader is solid and lifts a fair amount of weight. Mid Mount Mower produces a very nice cut but is a pain to get on (not much room to put the shaft onto the PTO and it can cause a lot of unwanted words to come out of your mouth.) Rotor Tiller is very powerfull and makes short work of the ground it is digging into. The seat is very comfy, controlls are all easy to reach. Hydrostatic transmission whines really bad but performance is not affected. Had problem with leak on front tire but the dealer fixed it by installing a tube inside it. Tektite deluxe cab is a nice feature but is really loud inside, engine runs hotter and requires a big portion of the tractors HP to get the whole unit moving. But after mowing 47 acres of pasture land with a 60" mower and still wanting more makes this tractor more than enough for anyone with a small ranch.

Pros: Reliable, strong, well built, 4 WD, differential lock
Cons: Hydrostatic Transmission Loud, can be a rough ride

My first tractor
Model Year: 2009

We bought our house with 37 acres and a pond. We decided we needed a tiller to prepare a substantial garden and a brush hog to keep a huge meadow under control. The tractor has performed these tasks admirably. I first used the FEL to move nearly 100 boxes of household goods from the barn to the house a few at a time to unpack. The tiller worked very well preparing our garden last year, and I've just tilled the garden for this year. I cleared about 25 acres of brush using the brush hog, and cleared all the small saplings with ease. I have had only a few problems, and the dealer has been very helpful. My biggest problem has been changing the attachments to the 3 point hitch. I'm getting better at it, but it's still an agonizing experience. My friends who have other tractor brands have the same problem so it's not a ding on Kubota. The lever that engages the PTO sometimes doesn't always disengage the interlock switch, so I have to hold it manually back in order to start the tractor. I guess it's just an adjustment which I'll have the dealer do when it's time for maintenance. I can't speak to its snow removal capacity. We had a lot of snow this winter, but the barn door was frozen shut, so I had to get someone else to plow my half-mile long winding uphill driveway. All in all, it's what I (and I suspect most guys) have always wanted - acreage and a tractor.

Pros: Price competetive with JD; Solidly built; Did all I asked
Cons: Front tire leaked ai

So Far So Good
Model Year: 2008

With just one year's worth use of 60"MMM, FEL lifting large rocks and dirt and lots of snow removal (FEL and BB), I am satisfied with this machine. Although I've used a nice Case 18HP gas garden tractor for many years, this diesel is a new tractor experience for me. It has more possibilities for the small landowner, albeit at more expense for the tractor and attachments. If it takes the wear and tear and years as well as my Case 448, I'll be happy. Everything works well except for one leaky front tire and the logos don't seem to be well attached.

Pros: This is a quality product
Cons: none

This is an excellent tractor for the small farm / acreage. I do not have a Mid-Mount mower since I use a Craftsman lawn tractor for the mowing. I have a FEL, rear blade, DR power grader and middle buster for it. All of the functions of this tractor are great. The only thing I have an issue with is the HST which, I think, makes too much noise. I have read the comments of other Kubota owners and they have the same sounds. the functionality of the HST far out weighs the whine of the transmission. The tractor can lift as much with the bucket as I can get into it and has no problems. I feel that the tractor is an excellent buy and would be a great addition to anyone's equipment stable. I purchased my tractor from Dubberly Tractor in Chester VA and can not rate them any higher. the service from them is excellent and their knowledge is exceptional. I would highly recommend them for the purchase of any of the line of equipment they carry.

Pros: Reliable and great work horse
Cons: Whining hydraluics / HST.

Great little machine
Model Year: 2009

Bear in mind this is my first tractor ever. It's done almost everything I've asked it, except for things I did not know were beyond it. For example, digging up roots larger than about two inches in diameter, or picking up a crate that I was sure was lighter than 500 lbs. :)

Pros: solid machine, great feel to it, attachments a snap, expensive
Cons: needs more factory lights esp rear-pointing. needs factory skidplate
