    BX1870 - Small CUT but HUGE HELP

    This is the third year of ownership for us with the BX1870. With the tight and confining spaces we have to work in here on our farm in northwestern Pennsylvania, this little tractor is the perfect size. So far, after some initial issues, it has been there to help in countless ways and has...

    Help from BX1870

    Quickly trying to get an unexpected project done. Our little 'Kubbie' lifted and held the framing for an access ramp, which certainly saved a lot of backache and mental grief since I didn't need to try and hold the frame in place while while attaching it to the existing framework. I love the...

    BX1870 - Won't crank

    My Kubota BX1870, with less than 75 hours on it, suddenly will not even grunt when trying to start it. The self-check goes as normal, but when the key is turned to 'start' there is not a sound to be heard. The battery/cables - not the problem as best as I could determine. I scrutinized them...

    Good bye Allis, Hello Kubota

    This is a bit lengthy, (Sorry - I'm an amateur author), but just wanted to share with you all, the events that lead me to this site. Having bought a well used, 1985 model year Allis Chalmers 6140 in June of 2013, we moved a lot of dirt with that old gal. We were back filling around the house...
