Buying Advice 2013 Kubota BX2370?

[craigbaill]

You cannot go wrong with either model but as said previously, you should consider the loader. I too have used my loader 6 times this year to clear my small driveway. Only about 150 ft in length and 3 cars wide but on a fairly traveled road. No problem pushing back snowpiles or digging into the frozen "wall" left by the state plow truck. The 60" deck works well and is easy to take off and re install ( 6 mins on or off).

Have you driven both models? Why did you hate the zero turn, too bumpy? The ride can get somewhat lively on some uneven ground but is definitely comfortable otherwise.

Let us know what you decide and we love pictures!

I know we have all ganged up and said "get the loader" but really, get the loader. Even a small tractor is just so much more useful with a loader. Your scrape blade will work for snow, but you often need to push back windrows of snow when you get the next snow and the first one did not melt.. Whoops.. now you need that loader. It is slow, but the alternative is making the lane narrower, and narrower.. Besides you can get rid of the wheelbarrow, the loader is just so dang handy to work out of. and move mulch, dirt, gravel, wood, tools, all sorts of things. Plus you will have on tap, some hydraulic power with a loader for lifting and pushing. You can get some forks, and lift brush, small pallets, junk in the yard. etc.. The uses for a loader never end. We all are never going to forgive you if you don't get that loader.

That will be $2500 very well spent, especially at 0%, as long as the payment is within your budget. Trust us, you'll be super glad you did. The FEL will bring a whole new level of diversity to your BX and the enjoyment of your chores. Go for it!

I appreciate everyone's comments and advise - I will let you know how it turns out. I'm still shocked I talked the "boss" (wife) into it! Promised to quit smoking - BAM... There's the tractor payment

She'll have so much "work" for you & that tractor that you won't have time to smoke! AND GET THE FRONT END LOADER for gosh sake!

The BX is great for mowing and small tractor jobs. I would go with at least the 2370. It is more power, so you can use more PTO implements. It has larger tires, a larger front axle and you can get R4 tires on it. I doubt you will not regret getting the loader. If you don't get it you probably will regret it.

Even forgetting about the snow... the Loader is going to do so much for you over the years. You will use for things you never imagined. Oops... sorry, my second post advocating the FEL... I'll shut up.

Wow! A forum for Buying a Kubota and EVERY POST from actual owners encouraging/advising/suggesting/telling/recommending........ buy a FEL! Can this be true??? Do they/we know what we are talking about advising someone that hasn't bought a SCUT before to buy a FEL.....everyone of us!!!!!
OK I'll step forth and say don't spend any money on buying the one implement that will do more than any possible implement that can change a high priced mower into a tractor. Don't do it!!!:thumbdown: You'll regret every day those extra pennies, well a dollar, that you've paid for the bucket on the front.
Or could we know what we're talking about? Have we been there, done that? If you don't buy it, none of us will get our commission from Kubota FEL Sales Dept but I don't need the :2cents: I get for every documented sale I make anyway.:shocked:
Again, DO NOT BUY A FEL!!!! Your friends and neighbors will laugh at you, especially when you drive over and help them, who own riding lawn mowers, do tractor work on your little tractor.:cool2:

Bahahahahaha johnthomas!!! I hear all of you loud and clear - I should find out today if my offer has been accepted by the dealer for the 2370 WITH FEL !

Sorry man -- I am voting another yes for FEL! Get the tractor you want 2370 but GET THE FEL too! You will not regret it. it comes off super easy and you state you want to use BX for firewood - trust me - you will use FEL more often then using the trailer. You will find many other uses for it that you havent dreamed of, I know I did.
