    50 hr service costs

    Well I finally got 50 hr on ole Bessy (BX1880) so I had the tractor picked up and serviced. Just out of curiosity how much are folks paying for their first 50 hr service? Mine was routine, oil, hydraulic fluid and their two filters replaced. $340. Also transportation is for free (part of my...

    First Kubota, first hydraulics and big issue already

    it was at the very most about 2 TBS to 1/8 of a cup, if that. I don't believe the dealer filled up the hydraulic fluid compartment before he sold it to me. From now on, I'll check oil and HF before I ever start the tractor. Still don't know where that little puddle of HF came from. I was...

    First Kubota, first hydraulics and big issue already

    Recently bought a new BX1880 with FEL, MMM and quick attach everything. I added the quick attach on from what was available. I've never run hydraulics and never had a diesel either. I have 8 hours on the machine. Yesterday I removed the MMM as I needed to use the FEL in some swamp/wet area and...

    Gator blades for BX1880

    OK, today it was 50 degrees and our front yard was full of leaves and pine cones from the previous that did not do lawn maintanence in the fall. Now there are zero leaves and no pine cones in the lawn. These G6 blades turned them to dust. Incredible what this BX1880 does with these G6 blades...

    Gator blades for BX1880

    OK, the blades arrived, installed and tested today. They work great. This link to Ebay is what I used on my BX1880, 54" MMM deck. I torqued them to 80 ftlbs. It was an experience, as the BX is new to me and this was the first time I took off the deck and put it back on. Now I know that I can...

    Gator blades for BX1880

    I believe the G6 blade is 396-812 for the BX 54” MMM deck. I just contacted a mower parts guy on eBay and he stated the same. Just ordered them on eBay and will post after they arrive and I install. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Gator blades for BX1880

    I'm thinking about updating the blades on my 2017 BX1880 with 54" deck. Blades are 18 5/8 long and the center hole appears to be 7/8. Question is what Gator blades do you use? G6, G3, etc.? has anyone put them on their BX ##80, and do you like it? Where did you buy them?

    Oh my guys, I just wanted to thank you all again for convincing me that I had to have a FEL. My wife was not too happy about the extra expense.......until yesterday. We needed to move about half of a garage’s worth of stuff out back to our shed(100 yd). Normally we would carry it by hand. Fired...

    I did a lot of work for a biotech company that was starting out called Alexion. They were a $6 million company and I helped them develop two drugs called eculizumab and pexiluzumab. Both drugs inhibit a protein called C5 from splitting into C5a and C5b-9, thus my moniker. They are now a multi...

    I'm the proud owner of a 1880 with 54 MMM, and quick attach LA344S FEL and SPL1060 snow push box. Delivery on Feb 2. Pictures coming after delivery. I splurged with the quick attach, as during the winter, I hope to be in Fiji at our farm there, so this will be easier for my wife to push the...

    I want to thank everyone for their help. Today, I went and looked at the BX1880 and will drive it shortly(too cold today). Also the price for the new BX1870 was not decreased further by the REP and stayed at $11,000. I was offered the BX1880 by two dealers for $12,750 and $12,999. I'm going to...

    Well, the quote that I got for the 1880 just got better. The new 1880 has the LA344 FEL with quick attach, 54" MMM and the quick hitch QH15. It's $12750. I believe this is with R4 tires, but I would like the turf tires, I believe. Also wondering if a 48" deck would be better for mowing as I...

    well I'm finding out that joining this forum is likely to be saving me money by getting some great opinions. So I started calling the other Kubota dealers in the area (50 mile radius). I have a lead on a BX1870 leftover with FEL and MMM at $11,000 or under. Dealer is contacting the REP to see...
