Looking to buy BX2680

[NoCowboyhat]

I'm looking at a used 2020 BX2680. It has a loader and 5' grader. It has 135 hours on it. I'm looking at a small tractor to do some work in my yard (about 2 acres). Work will be grading paths, digging, moving soil, etc. I was looking at the Deere 1025 and this BX but came across the 2020 BX. They're asking $10,000

Anything specific I should look at, ask about when I go see it? What kind of maintenance should have been done at this point?

I appreciate the vast knowledge on this forum. I've learned so much via reading these threads.

I owned a BX 2350 for 10 years and I was happy with it. I would look it over for obvious problems. Specific to that tractor there is a cooling fan towards the back of the tractor, it’s white plastic and they have been known to get broken from a stick getting into it. It’s also common the front axle fluid level is delivered low. You might check it but even if it’s low it probably is ok with that few of hours.

I appreciate the info. Given everything I've looked at, the once over I gave the tractor (multiple once overs) and the time I spent talking to the owner, I think I'm going to buy it. I drove it and it ran fine. Very minimal rust (surface stuff that rubbed off). Tires were in excellent shape. The biggest issue is his goat chewed up some of the seat cushion.

For my projects anything bigger is just for show.

Advantageous price.

Plan on the early addition of a bucket tooth bar to reduce the strain when digging on both the bucket and single hydraulic cylinder.

Hard to believe they are only asking 10K for a 2020 BX2680. Are you sure it isin,t a scam ? If you can really buy it for that, jump on it real quik, cause that is a steal !

I agree its a great deal and tractor, and with that low hours should have no loose FEL pins......check they don't, long story short this year my brother in law bought a used 2017 B26 from a dealer hundreds of miles away that supposedly had only a few hundred hrs on it, brought it home started having issues, had it checked at local mechanic, needed major trannie and other work.....they suspected the dash instrument panel was swapped out to a lower hour unit......especially since all pins etc very sloppy. ( probably a commercial contractor used tractor) ....my BIL threatened with lawyer, they agreed to take back and refund. Was his first tractor experience, being burned he hasn't pulled trigger on another one yet......he will buy local this time.

UPDATE:
It's in my backyard. The guy I had pick it up and bring it to my house (I don't have a trailer) said he'd buy it from me for $11. I thought it was a pretty good deal. Now I'm looking at the skidplate and pirahna. I'll check all fluids this weekend and lube everything.

I appreciate all the feedback.

Congrats on your new machine. Post some pictures!

I still cann,t believe it was sold that cheap. Are you 100% sure it was paid for, and not stolen ?
