kubota bx1860

Hi folks, I have a 14 year old 800hr BX1860 on which I've just discovered the propeller shaft front joint cover (aka dust boot) (item 20 below) has worn through and fallen off. Interestingly, the damaged boot was just sitting atop the MMM deck which I had pulled off for springtime blade...

Someone near me is selling a tiller but they said it has some special PTO for small JD tractors. Would that work on a Kubota bx1860?

I am new to this forum and fairly new owner, and also not a lot of experience with repairs. I have a BX1860 that has a clunking started in the front axle area. I discovered fluid leaking from below the front output shaft where it enters the axle. I am looking fore any kind of thoughts or...

I have a Kubota BX1860 that will not start nor are there any signs of combustion. I have performed the following to the fuel system: Removed fuel tank and cleaned out the garbage left by the decaying fuel level unit. (A considerable amount of rust was present). Reinstalled tank Replaced all...

Hi, I have a large coolant leak in my BX1860 - in just a few minutes of running, all the coolant went into the crankcase. It didn't really mix with oil, the oil was floating on top. So when I drained the crankcase, first the coolant came out and then the oil. I took of the valve cover and...

I was just gifted a bx1860 w 1260 hrs and is a 2010 model I believe since bought in 2011. Looks impeccable and was diligently maintained. Has only a mmm. Want the loader capability. Before I buy a loader, or any attachments eventually, I want to find out if it would be too much for tractor or...

So my bx1860 was doing the typical clicking sound it does before you turn it on but it wouldn't turn on. Battery is fine. PTO and pedals seemed fine. I looked at fuses and they seemed fine. Anyway, I then read some posts about PTO being touchy even when it is in the right position so I tried...

I am looking at a used 2015 Kubota 1860 with over 700 hours and I was hoping that anyone with that year model could comment on it as I need a new mule since the lawn mower is on its death bed essentially and its a parts hog. It has no attachments and the dealer says it starts, runs and has no...

I got a bx1860 with hst. Was running good when All of the sudden my foot lever went limp, no forward or reverse. It will not rev up or whine when I push the lever forward or reverse. It is my first tractor. So I’m learning as I go. Any ideas? From what I read so far, it could be a pump or maybe...

I have a BX1860 Kubota that drips some oil from transmission after using front bucket or raising rear blade a lot, seems to be coming from top left looking in from rear. This started after heavy use one day moving heavy dirt. Is there a rubber hose somewhere of trans. Also what is best way to...

I've been scouring the internet for weeks trying to find a reasonable way to add suspension to my OEM seat. Haven't found anything that says it will fit, and I even bought a universal type in the hopes I could modify it. No luck. I'm not going to buy a $500 air seat... just don't have the...

Incase anyone was interested, hard to find much about it. I needed more grip.

I changed both my fuel filters at my 50hr service. Now at 133hrs, the one under the floorboard looks funky. So I copied 4shorts and put a Kubota Grand L filter on in its place. I liked the idea of using a Kubota part than the Racor (even though its a better filter). I like the removable...

I would like to do some grading work on a sloped area of my lot that is mostly clay and won't grow grass. I want to work in some top soil and manure and a box blade seems like the best implement to use. Local rental place has a Bush Hog BBX65. I'm wondering if my small BX1860 can handle it...

I am think about build a pto pump setup for my bx1860. Has anybody build a pto pump for compact?

Tractor has 200 hours, and is in good condition. This is for a buddy of mine who after using my bx25 is looking for a used one. Asking price is 9900, sound fair? Also comes with 3pt setup.

Hey all, Using my tractor all day was fine, started every time . Was working out of the bucket drilling my flagstone house for new shutters. Finally got done and ready to put tractor up for the rest of day and she won't even turn over. The battery is fine - even tried jumping and still won't...

Hi there! I'm new here, so bear with me. I have a Kubota BX1860 diesel tractor about 3-years old. During the Spring and Summer it gets used weekly for mowing with a 54" belly mower. This year during my third 4-hour mowing session the engine started bogging down, rpms dropping rapidly and...

Has anybody install a aftermarket market loader on the BX? What is a reasonable price to pay?

Hello all, I've just picked up a second hand BX1860 (2010 model I believe) with just a tick under 150hrs on the clock. As a precautionary measure more than anything I thought I'd change/renew all fluids and filters. Looking at my handbook the 150hr service is limited to some greasing and...

125 hours hes asking 9500 . What do you guys think?

Found a used BX1860 from a private party. Has all the toys, FEL, 54" mid mount mower deck and a nice box scraper. He's asking $9,800. Says he paid $13,100 for everything, which sound about right. Is $9800 a fair market price, a good deal for me or something else? (of course, I'll offer...

Hello all, My tractor will turn over and fire, but it won't run. It acts as if there is a fuel starvation issue. When I initially turn the ignition to the "on" position, the familiar clicking noise one hears is either absent or sporadic. What component is responsible for the clicking noise...

I've had my BX1860 for almost 6 months. The only thing I've had on the three point hitch is a towing rig (triangle with a 2" ball and a 1 7/8" ball and a place to connect a chain as needed - this has been a really useful attachment). Now I'm thinking about a pine straw rake and will eventually...

I'm into my third year of ownership with my BX1860, and I've never wished for more power...except I really wanted a wood chipper. I have a large stand of pine trees on my property and boy do they make a mess in the springtime. I have a brushpile that's approaching Mt Vesuvius in size. I've...

I checked on a Mulch kit for this BX1860 I will be getting. I spend a lot of time in the fall with leaves. A dealer along time ago talked me into a mulcher for my GR because I told him I spend equal amounts of time collecting leaves as I do cutting grass. I also found myself running around to...

I've had a bx1860 for 2 or 3 years but never used the lift and just tried it for the first time and it only goes up, I can't get the lift arms to go down. Am I doing something wrong?

The BX1860's are about gone, but the local dealer could get one from another dealer. The BX1870s are available. I'm weighing which model to get: - I like the new dash displays on the 1870. - The BX1860's ROPS is shorter, but doesn't fold. The BX1870's ROPS folds, but doesn't fold down all the...

hi, my name is Wayne and i'm new to the group, my first real tractor. i just purchased a 2011 Kubota BX1860 tractor with a FEL and snowblower and i'm looking for a mower deck and later on a bagger. #1) 48" or 54"? #2) i can pick up a slightly used RCK54-22BX mower deck for $400, great deal...

Hi all! Today I was helping a neighbor move some dirt. It was quite wet and heavy and about 12 yards. Well, when we were almost done I noticed drops on the ground. I thought maybe a sprinkle of rain started but noticed that wasn't the case, then saw the leak on the bucket (the "yellow" line...

I have been reading reviews and posts on this site for about a year. I have learned a lot from reading posts. I recently decided to look into a sub compact tractor. I already own a Kubota L3540 and RTV 900 so naturally I would look toward a Kubota scut. The dealer is also excellent and has a...

Looking for ideas here... I've have a BX1860 for 3 years now and my only complaint is the volumetric capacity of the FEL. The sizing of the FEL is such that I can pick up and safely move a full load of 3/4" gravel, no problem (of course the little BX has to be appropriately ballasted at the...

Can I upgrade to the larger BX 2360 tire/ wheel combo? I believe it's the same bolt pattern. Thanks, Bill

hi all figured som people here will hopefully give some input . waiting on delivery of my brand new bx 1860 got it with 54inch deck, and 5 foot hydraulic snowplow . dealer threw in weight box and tire chains i opted for the turf tires was wondering if the unit is going to handle some of the...

All I see is that the 1860 has metal hood and fenders apposed to the 1850 plastic.

I have a BX1850 that needs a new hood. I would like to install the new metal hood from the BX1860. Has anyone done this before ? Also were is the best location to weld hooks on the bucket of the LA203 loader?

Hi What is a fair price? I am looking at a new BX1860 with softcab and front mount blower... possible mm deck at well. Anyone priceout/purchase anything simiar? Thanks

I just purchased a new BX1860 with turf tires because I didn't want the ag tires to shred my lawn but fear that the turf tires won't have enough traction when I am working on my lot to get it ready to plant grass or in the winter for plowing snow. I saw a BX1860 on youtube with the R4...

I bought my Kubota BX1860 last November and readied it for the winter snow. Equiped it with chains and hydraulic front blade and was good to go, however, never got any snow............anyway, come summer put the belly mower on it and am pleased with it's mowing capabilities. Living in central...

I have a bx1860 with a RCK54P-23BX MMM. I have mulching blades on it but I am starting to think I need something else for mulching. Should I at a minimum have something covering the side so grass doesn't fly out? Not sure if it matters but I have gator mulching blades (which had to be drilled to...

Does anyone have the blade part number for a BX 1860 54" MMM deck we purchased last year? Are there any options? Thanks all.

Just after lunch today I told my wife we should get some skid plates for our tractor... then a couple of hours later ran over a stick and broke the blades off the HST fan :ashamed: Searching here I see that some people have cut the replacement fan to put it on without having to get the shaft...

Any 1860 owners here? If so, I've got a question about the hydraulics. As far as I see, there's only one lever which controls the raising/lowering of the 3PH arms and the mid-mounted mower simultaneously. Am I missing something here? Is there some way to select mid/rear/both like you can do...

I used my new BX1860 today for the first time. How pleased I was! It's outfitted with a hydraulic blade and rear wheel chains. I never slipped once and was able to push 6 inches of snow UP the driveway. The power steering allowed me to turn the tractor on a dime. I never came close to using...

Hi all, I'm the Mainecoondog and in August of 2011 I became the owner of a brand new BX 1860 with bucket, front snow thrower, back blade and ballast box. This site helped me to deside on this major purchace and I want to thank one and all who posted their advice, pix and vids that helped me. I...

Looking at buying a 2009 BX1860,196 HRS.,FEL,54" MMM, and R4 tires,very clean unit, 1 owner .Anyone have a ballpark figure what a guy should pay or the value of this unit

I recently purchased a BX1860. I love the tractor and now would like to get some attachments at the cheapest price possible. I live in South Point, OH does anyone have any suggestions? I want to purchase a Boom Pole, backhoe and loader, possibly a bush hog or mower deck.:)

I am interested in a quick attatch for the 3 pt hitch on my BX1860. My box blade and disc are setup with hitch pins facing in! While my short single point plow from Tractor supply is setup only with pins out. It hooks up but i have to open the arms ALL the way out to hook it up. I have...

Hey folks, Last year I asked for and received great advice concerning my decision/convincing of wife to by a BX1860. I did buy this sucker in March, just in time to do one snow blower test run. This was a tiny little 1" snowfall. I'm in the Boston hills, which are south of Buffalo. I saw...

Hey folks, I'm new to the forums...Looking to purchase my first tractor to help me manage 13 acres in NC. I've done a lot of reading on the forums (thanks!) and have concluded that a BX-series tractor is probably the way to go. I have a lot of slopes on my land. The tractor will encounter them...

My wife was mowing the lawn the other night with her new BX1860 and all of a sudden it died. No sputter, just shut down. Restarted OK. Then when she parked it it did not want to shut off. I had to move the solenoid linkage to shut it down. Solenoid or ignition switch? The guages are also...

Good morning...purchased a new BX1860 earlier this year with a 48" MMM and FEL. It's all good (~40 hours on the clock) except the temp gauge will run to the red while using the mower, especially under full load - and almost certainly in the red if I didn't disengage the MMM to let it cool at a...

Hi guys, Marvin from Barlows delivered my new BX1860 today. Heck of a nice guy.....Showed me all about the tractor. First class all the way.... Great little tractor, I know, I know pics are coming..... Thanks again for all your knowledge and advice...:D

Hi, I have a 2010 BX1860 with the 54" MMM (the non-fine cut type). The BX has got just shy of 100hrs on it, and the MMM has been hanging off the tractor for I'd say half of that time. No problems to date. For the past 3-4 months I've been cutting the grass using the MMM, as normal, with no...

I've been looking at both the 1860 and 2360. Are you 1860 owners happy with it's capability. Is there anytime you said I wish I had or needed more power. I've got 1.25 acres to mow and would use the fel for mulch and landscaping. Snow removal in the winter...My cub 1046 can hardly pull my 48...

Hi All, Just ordered my new BX1860 with the FEL and 54" standard deck today. (Cant wait till saturday, feel like a kid again) anyway, I forgot to ask the dealer today about mulching kits for the deck and now after reading the forum it looks like i may not be able to get a mulching kit for the...

I was thing of buying a used Kubota bx1860 for mowing, snow plowing and moving mulch, wood, and top soil. I have around 2 acres to mow. Any advice on pricing for a used machine a couple years old with low hours with snow plow, 54"MMM, FEL and ballast box? I currently own a Cub Cadet 3165...

Hello all, I think I have decide that I am going with a small Kubota. I've convinced myself, for now, that I don't really have any long term use for a backhoe, so I a have ruled out the BX25. I think the BX1860 with a 54" deck and loader will do all I want, but wanted to get some feedback...

I've decided I want a little Kubota, and I've visited several dealers around here and found one I can work with. So it's time to make some final decisions on how to have this tractor set up. I have about 2 acres of flat, marshy land along with four horses, chickens, dogs, etc. About 1 acre...

Just installed a Mulch Kit on my 48" Fine Cut Deck. Very easy install, Won't be cutting grass for a Week.Rain for the next 5-6 Days.

I want to change the blades on my bx1860. It has the 54inch MMM. I don't know the exact model of the mower. I know I do not have a mulching kit but I was wondering if it was possible for me to get some mulching blades and what would be involved with installing the kit? I saw some cool looking...

Worksaver makes a hydraulic posthole auger with a minimum hyd flowrate of 5gpm. It is model 614H, and details are available here: http://www.worksaver.com/Manuals/924.pdf (see page 21) Note that the auger speed at 5gpm is 47 rpm. Has anyone tried anything similar on a Kubota BX1860? I have...

Hello, First of all im new to this site and owning a Kubota or any other tractor for that matter. Anyways, I purchased last year a BX1860 with a 48" bush hog mower for mowing 20+ acres. I would like to get a better cut and step up to a flail mower. Will my tractor be able to handle a 48in or...

Last Saturday I thought I'd scrape the last few inches of snow off the driveway in anticipation of a thaw heading our way. I was about 80% done when I smelled hydro fluid. I looked back at the back blade and saw the spray. SH%T, I jumped off the seat and looked and saw shiny hydro fluid on...

Hi all, yesterday I ran out of fuel and refilled, then finished up clearing the snow and put the tractor away. Today it stopped running after about two minutes and won't start. I see that there is air in the top of the fuel filter. The manual doesn't tell me how to bleed it now - it says...

It's done! Traded in my BX1860 for a BX25. Signed the papers on Tuesday and my new BX25 will be delivered sometime next week. Dealer said they might be able to get it to me by the end of the week, but I told them it was actually better for me next week when things calm down from the holidays -...

I am new to the modern day sub compact tractors, So please forgive this stupid question. i have seen a few posts about the problems of not using the proper oil in the hydraulic system. I recently purchased a new BX1860HST and I went by my selling dealer going to get a gallon to have on hand...

I have BX1860 - I might be the most junior of you all and have very small tractor but enough for my urban use. I was wondering how much a small snow blower cost for this tractor which mounts at the rear and works with pto Appreciated for all your answers.

I asked this in another question because it came up, but I thought I'd make a new thread for it. When moving snow with my FEL on my BX1860 I have my box blade on the rear for counterweight. But I notice on float on the FEL I have virtually no steering. SHould I remove it for the winter when...

I will have to do a little welding on my BX. Will I have to disconnect the ground Thanks Tony

Hi all, I am torn between the 18 and 23 pony options. I have taken some measurements and the 48" MMM is the right choice for my yard. Can a 48" MMM mount to a BX2360? I want the BX2360 because it has nearly 30% more HP then its little sister the 1860. More HP = More PTO power for a snow...

I recently sold my BX1860 and purchased a new B2320. Encouraged by some of the guys, I am going to "log", over some time, my sense of the differences, similarities and how these two machines compare and contrast, doing the chores, I do. This is important. The chores will be my chores, YMMV...

Well, I did the 50 hour service. Oil, filter, HST filter and cleaned HST screen. I swear it too longer to remove the front grill and remove the MMM than it did to do the rest. lol.. The cork (rubber) for the HST screen plug worked flawlessley. Maybe a cup of fluid was lost. Not much...

I have a small bx1860. I need to seed about 1 acre this year, and 2+ next year. I have already sprayed the weeds and they are pretty much dead. What should I do next? the soil seems pretty good, but I am sure it will need a little bit of working. Are there implements I can rent for my tractor...

So I'm getting ready for my 50 hour service already! And was reading again through the long post on doing this. I double checked my manual and it does not call for a fluid change, and it doesn't call for a filter screen cleaning either. Just oil/filter change, and hydro filter change (and a...

I had a busy day with the BX today. Up till now I've just left the MMM on but where I was working (digging and box blading) I didn't want roots/rocks etc banging up the MMM. So I decided to take it off for the first time. Got it off in less than 5 mins. When all done I even got it back on in...

Last year I purchased a DR Rotohog pull behind tiller as seen here: DR Rotohog Then I had a Cub mower that I pulled it with. It's a really great tiller. Now that I have a BX1860 I'm wishing (I think) that I had a 3pt tiller for my BX... but, I want other opinions. I can't find definate HP...

I am facing some heavier work in my yard and need a bigger tractor. Currently I have a 6 year old John Deere Lawn Tractor but it will not be up to the task. All I can do with it is mow and pull a wagon. Now I will need a FEL. But the Deere has been an excellent machine! I would like to know more...

Quick question and first post (just found this site! Nice!) When using my 3PH to tow a tiller, aerator, etc I put the MMM in TOP mode. But when I lower the 3PH I see the MMM does drop a couple inches at least. So I want to clarify that this should happen and TOP isn't necessarily snug up...

Hey TBN, I've gotten busy for the summer, but I wanted to check in and let you all see the new machine. Forgot how nice they look when new. Good delivery guy named Don, what a trooper...3 consecutive days 95 and humid and his AC isn't working! Tested the mower...very nice...took me 15 minutes...

Hi, Hopefully a simple question. What is the hole diameter of the blade used on the BX1860 54" MMM RCK54-23BX? Or asked another way... What is the correct Gator Mulcher blade for use on a RCK54-23BX? The Messick's site says the OEM for the BX1860 54" MMM RCK54-23BX is Kubota P/N...

I have searched both this site and the web but cannot find anything. Is there a foldable rops or roll bar for the bx1860 or 1850available anywhere? Has anyone put a hinge on theirs or found a quick release for the roll bar that actually looks nice? Thanks in advance for any responses.

I am interested in a 48" mid mount mower deck for BX. Must be 48", PM me. Thanks much.

I am looking for a tiller for my bx1860. I recently had 2 acres cleared of over grown brush. I want to till and rake the area and establish grass. What should i look for in a tiller. I am VERY new to tractors. I moved from 1/4 acre subdivision to 5 acres and my dream house. Thanks for the input

I have my new bx1860 54"mmm,FEl,brush cutter and landscape Rake for a week now! LOVE IT!! I bought it from Barlow equipment. I can not say enough good things about Brady Barlow is a straight shooter no BS. His price was 1500-2000 better than my local dealers (Atlanta). I am already looking at...

I just bought a BX1860 and I think I need a tooth bar. This would be for general landscaping around my home including leveling ground, spreading compost and top soil. My questions are: 1. Is a tooth bar even appropriate for a BX1860? Is the loader too weak to dig into relatively hard ground? I...

It's been about two months now since my new BX came home and every time I use it, I am more and more impressed. I mean, how did I survive without this useful toy all these years? First, let me introduce you to Terao, my BX1860. The name Terao, comes from a famous Japanese Sumo wrestler. Terao...

I've lived in my house for 9 years. I've ownwd my BX for two months. When I bought, the property was littered with everything you could imagine. A late 60's Chevy Nova was on its roof in the woods,(one of two) but by far the biggest eyesore was the 10 yard pile of large concrete chunks...

Hi,I'm trying to decide between getting a bx1860 or bx2360, with FEL and 54MMM for the 1860 and 60MMM for the 2360.I have just under 2 acres, with probably 1.25-1.5ac to mow with a lot of obstacles and the yard is level. It will be primarily for mowing but have dirt I want to move around...

Well, I got a set of Gator blades today and mounted on my 54" Fine Cut deck, the number is 96-748. I have the mulch kit installed as well and while at greased the deck and topped the gear oil. What a great cut, the original Kubota mulch blades did a good job but the Gator blades are...

When I move my lever to engage the pto for the belly mower there is a delay of from 7-10 seconds before it engages. Is this normal? I don't remember it taking that long last year. Fluid is at a normal level.

I was curious to know if anyone sells for cab, A/c,heat, radio? And how much should that setup cost. Any idea pls? Ganesh

I know an they are 2 different tractors. I found a 2000 B2400 for $7500 with a FEL and 60" MMM. But it has 2700HRs. 6% for 5 years. OR a BX1860 for 11500-13000 depending on where i get it. 0% for 5 years. I couldent find to much information about the b2400 It seems to be like a good tractor. I...

How much should the cruise control option cost on the bx1860? Basically my wife bought me a bx1860 secretly for my birthday, its all great, but its missing cruise control (at least as far as I can tell). I had asked the sales person if it came with cruise control and he said it did. My wife...

Barlow's delivered my new BX1860 today :D. I already have a Grand L so I was looking at getting just a used BX to mow with and pull a small trailer, aerator, etc. I figured I did not need the loader. Well you know how that goes ;). After discussing options with Brady I decided to spring for a...

I have like 4 stumps to grind, is there like stump grinder on PTO shaft for Bx1860 size tractor, I can rent or buy if it is cheap? I need some ideas from the Gurus here Ganesh

So my wife bought me a bx1860 for my birthday (kubuta dealer messed up and it won't be here until Monday), anyways, and I will need a box blade for it. The kubuta dealer quoted me for $680 a BB0548-82 but I am also looking at something like the United 448SD and 448HD, which are much cheaper...

I am considering a bx1860 very seriously however on most forums I hear the pto is a category 1 but my dealer says its 0. I am very confused. Which is it? Thanks, --Carlos

So I got two quotes now. Mahindra 1815hst for 11800 with 0% for 48 months (10700 with 0% for 36 months). Kubota bx1860 for $12150 with 0% for 60 months. Both have a front end loader and 54 inch mid mount mowers. The Mahindra can carry more, but I've heard the Kubota is a better mower...

I bought a BX 1860 last week assuming that it would be delivered with the LA203 loader that I ordered. When the delivery arrived the tractor had the LA243 loader instead. I mentioned this to the delivery man and he said "you got and upgraded loader for the same price". All of my Kubota...

Hi All I am a new member and was reading lots n lots of info. It was very interesting so thought of becoming a member and share my experiences or ask questions. I have a neighbor with BX1500 with FEL, 54" MMM and rear blade. I was always amazed with that tractor for what all he uses it...

Hopefully, an interesting story. Bought my BX (at a good price) 10 months ago. It was perfect in every way, but then, quite unexpectedly, I got a huge (for me) contract for organic foods production that I had not anticipated when originally purchasing. In order to row cultivate more mature...

OK, so I have always wanted a Kubota, who hasn't?:confused: Last week I stopped in a local dealer "just to look". Got a price and ok, they have 60 months 0% too. I like 0%! Still just looking..... I wondered, " if i cleaned up my old tractor (1992 520H) and got a good price, i could use that as...

I am replacing my Wheel Horse 520H (20hp Onan/ Hydro) and want something more powerful AND 4WD. Plowing snow is hard on it and I really want a FEL too. I have no need for a backhoe, but if i get the BX2360, i can always borrow one. I do believe that the BX1860 is going to meet my needs (mowing...

What would be realistic good deals on a bx1860 and 2360 with a 54" mower deck, with loader valve but No FEL? The 54" deck would be preferable due to space constraints. I am in the mid-atlantic area. Thanks

Hello everyone. I'm a first-time poster and have just begun to scan the forum off and on over the past week. I am a Kubota G2160 owner since 2001, and have been pretty happy with it. I use it primarily as a mower, but I often have a cart attached to the back during the summer for various...

Ok, So I have been seeking a tractor for general lawn care. I know either one will be overkill, however, I looked at "garden tractors" and for the money, they don't do much more than cut grass. My purpose is mowing less than an acre with hills and several trees at the rear of the yard. I also...

A good deal of my mowing involves tight spots. How maneuverable is the BX1860?

Is this an overkill for the my tractor? It is at the low end for my tractor power wise, but I am thinking to buy at that would be better in case I do upgrade or re-sale value? Thoughts?

In case anyone is searching I thought I would do a quick review of my Kubota bx1860 on my Minnesota vineyard. I have the front end loader and 54 inch deck. And, of course, the engine heater. Background: 600 foot gravel driveway with hills and curves. 2 acres of vineyard. 4 acres mowed. Live on a...

Got my tractor today, and so far I am really happy with it. I got it with loader, ballast box and 54" mower, on turf tires. After I get used to it I'll decide if I want to add on a rear blade, or do something else. I made a path of about 200 feet to the back of the barn through the snow, so...

Hello all, new owner and waiting for delivery of a BX1860 with FEL and RB. It also will have the 54" Fine Cut deck and Mulching kit. I am very excited and can't wait to get it but there is one concern I have. I always been a Simplicity owner and had 6 different models and my current mowing...

Does anybody know if a snowblade from an L series tractor will fit a bx 1860. I cant seem to find any info on this anywhere.

On Saturday morning, I noticed a 2" puddle, well, spot really, of fluid under my BX parked in the shop. Cement floor makes seeing such things easier and with a new machine, one's eye is really dialed in for stuff, I guess. Wiped it up. Took a mag light and couldn't really see the source, but...

Greetings. First post - excellent forums here; I have learned a ton already. I will soon be buying a new Kubota tractor, my first ever tractor, and am hoping to mine some expertise from those who have been through the process. Until a few days ago, my knowledge of tractors was near zero. I...

I an a new owner with not much knowledge. Is kubota my only option for a FEL for my 1860? Not that there is a problem I just want to explore all possible options prior to purchase. Looks like about $2200.00 to add this option...

This past weekend, I installed my 54" MMM for the first time this season (did first few mows with the wheel horse). I have issues with the deck clearing the frame when trying to roll it under the tractor, so I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong. First off, I backed the tractor's rear...

What's a good price for a BX1860 w/FEL, 54"FC, ballast box, and grass catcher?

I'm trying to decide between these tractors. I have a little under 2 acres about half of which I will mow and the other half is wooded with large trees (some of which I may try to establish and maintain as a shaded park/lawn). I have some pretty good slopes on the property so the higher center...

Hi all, New here. Friday I bought a new BX1860 with the blower and 48 inch mower. It cost a fair bit and seems well built. What I am wondering is how reliable and durable is this equiptment, tractor, blower and mower are. I have never owned anything like this before. I got tired of owning crap...

Looking at both. Want FEL, 54"fine cut mulching blade MMM, grill guard, ballast box. Turfs on 1860, R4's on 2360. Can you run the larger 2360 tires on the 1860? Do I need the extra 5HP? Is 18hp enough for the 54" mower and a power bagger? What % are dealers in NE taking off list? cutting 1/2...

Found a dealer that was willing to negotiate and gave me what I needed for my BX2230 trade in, so pulled the trigger on a brand new unit! I'm getting a BX1860 with FEL and four-way valve, a 48" fine cut MMM, mulching kit, front grill guard and a set of Bars and Turfs with all the rears loaded...

Ok im about to purchase a bx1860 in a month or so and I really like everything about it but the tire sizes. I really wish is had the bigger tires on it like all the other bx models, what I don't understand is why on the 1830 it came with the 26x12x12 rears and 18x8.5x8's on the front while this...

fellows would any of our dealers who contribute to this forum like to speculate on when we might see the first BX1860's and BX2360's, this fall or next year? thanks, shrekbelly

I know the new BX1850/BX2350/BX24 are just getting to dealers but I was just curious as to what the speculation was about the evolution of Glide Steer... I'm assuming it cost Kubota bit of $$$ to develop it. As far as I can tell they are only selling Glide Steer on the GR2000/GR2100 might it...
