Looking to buy BX2680

[Yander]

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

Are you a denial democrat, have you seen our economy? People need to eat and will sell things for much less than they are worth in the market. This is why so many are will vote red or should vote red.

If people are selling stuff that cheap, basically half price of what it is actually worth, my main concern would be that is either stolen, not paid off in full, or something major seriously wrong with it. I am well aware and prepared for the state of our economy.

I have a BX 2680 and it's a fantastic tractor. I have been a Deere guy all my life, but the BX and its implements were better built over the JD in my onion. Aside from a few things, I have been very happy with it.

Watch out for front tires losing air, it's a thing. I used some Tireject and have not had any problems in years. The seat is comfortable, but the suspension under it is not. If you're a young buck, you won't have a problem. One more thing, keep an eye on your radiator. The screen doesn't stop the small stuff, and it will plug it up and overheat.

Sounds like a great deal--hope it remains so. You'll not be disappointed with that tractor. A neighbor has one with all the toys for it and gets a lot of use from it.

Yep! I marked "normal" on the temp gauge with a piece of tape so I could ensure that I caught the temp rising right away. Pull the screen, clean it, and rinse the (cold) radiator off as well with a strong hose stream.

I use mine as a mower primarily and it needs cleaning at least twice a year from being plugged by dead grass and leaves.

My only other issue is that there is no screen to keep bugs from getting into the fuel tank while adding fuel. The tanks discharge is small enough to be clogged by a small bug before it gets to the filter. I installed a home made screen in the fill to prevent this from occurring (again).

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.

Everything you listed plus wheel spacers, mower, box blade, top N tilt kit, grapple with 3rd function kit and Kubotas special side discharge air comb . Use it to blow dust and grass clipping out of the radiator . I've added all of them to my BX, really expanded what I can do and can't think of anything I'd want to do without. Oh and I'd check the brakes. In 4wd low it's hard to tell if the brakes are set or not. Ask me how I know.

Message to the OP. Please post some pictures of the BX2680, and the other stuff that came with it. I would enjoy seeing them.

Sorry for the delay. Here is a photo of the BX I purchased. I did the maintenance I mentioned (engine oil, air filter) and checked everything else. I greased all points. I added the piranha bar and the underbelly protector from BXpanded. I also washed it head to toe. I'm building a small garage to keep it in next week.

@dj1701 - yep, front left tire was flat yesterday. Took it to my local tire shop. For $20 I had them pump in some sealer.

At this point I've run 10+ hours on it moving a lot of cedar chips into my burn pile. It runs like a champ.

I appreciate everyone's feedback on my post.

Looking good!
I put a Piranha Bar on my L4060, and really like it. This past summer I excavated about 20cy of dirt for a pole barn, hauled out a similar amount of previously buried demoed concrete, and laid 40cy of stone for a driveway and concrete pad bar. The Piranha Bar looks barely touched.

Very nice! You're going to find so many uses for that Kubota; good on getting the armor, if I had a BX I'd be sure to have it too.
