BX80 Series Announced!

perhaps these pictures from a posting by Travis from EverythingAttachments may provide some insight

I doubt there is a stand you need to fold down manually. Like the JD, the stand folds out automatically once you initiate the loader removal. There are obvious linkages in the various views.
Not sure I'm a big fan of the clunky 4-valve disconnect. I know the picture has it mounted on the top loader arm for display with no tractor, but that assembly alone on the tractor looks bulky.

There you go again, Kubota. Always tempting me.

If I traded in my 2009 BX25, I could keep all of my implements and everything!

Resist, resist....

And just when I thought I finally had everything lined up to get a BX1870 they do this to me. Now like everyone else do I see if the local dealer (who has been amazing buy the way) will get the new BX1880. Or do I get the BX 1870 I was looking at. UGH now more confused as ever lol!

I've made many mods to my 3 year old BX25D and dang pleased with my ride and I would be hard pressed to 'upgrade' but I am interested in the new QA features of a bucket and BH if real.

The QA does fold down, you flip a lever to release it.

The hose block is not really any more bulky than the current ones. The whole thing maybe 2" thick.

I'm willing to bet some polish ingenuity could adapt the 4-valve block to my BX2670. As for the skidsteer style QA, keep it Kubota. My Jery Dunn is far superior and MUCH less weight.

Anyone know if the new bx has position control for the 3pt?
If I didn't need to go bigger then I already have I would be seriously looking at the new bx. Maybe I can convince my dad up trade up from his bx1500

Here are my remaining questions:
1 - Is the loader QA compatible with mini-skid steers? This would open up a lot more attachments, and attachment rental opportunities
2 - Position control 3 point hitch?
3 - Transmission cooling fan gone?

Perhaps, I will wear mine out, in the next year and be looking at the "upgraded" model 80 series.....:laughing:

Yeah, rots a ruck with that! :laughing:
