I read that Kubota is building a new plant in Georgia just for building loaders. Supposed to be done next year.

Yes the deck seems slightly higher on the left due to the weight of the boot and hose on the right I assume.

Hey there, I run a cyclone rake classic with my 1880 (with 54 inch deck) and it no problems handling that. All the people theorizing what MAY happen are incorrect. Wet leaves, tall grass, etc and it has no problems. The only thing that stops is stick that may get lodged in the CR tube causing...

Thanks for this OP. Help me figure out how all these work together. Jeff

I've got an 1880 and am curious what grapple you have and how much you are able to move? I've always been interested in getting a grapple but never found any 1880 owners who had one. Thanks, Jeff

Cyclone Rake. I've got lots of leaves.

I've got the residential blower and the ram is leaking as well. Not much so I am just going to leave it for now. Mechanic friend says he sees this alot on the plow trucks and he thinks it has something to do with salt getting into that area. Just a thought... Jeff

yep that’s exactly what i did. Removed the shear pin and verified it was in good order. I’m going to check my security camera to see if I can figure anything out with it under load. Thanks, Jeff

Thanks! My blower does have a sticker that shows how it should be oriented and I’ve never removed the shear pins till a couple weeks ago (paint was still on the pins). I’ll definitely double check it again. I did make sure it was turning. Gave my wife a lesson on how to run it real quick. It...

The last couple of times I’ve used my snowblower on my BX 1880 I’ve noticed that the one side is not pulling in snow like it used to. It just pushes the snow while the other side pulls it into the snowblower and send it to the chute. I figured the shear bolt must be cracked, but when I removed...

Manual says you need ballast with FEL operation. Dealer must not have read it. Jeff

I’ve had the 1880 for 2 years now. I have 3 acres in a residential area similar to what you describe. The 1880 will be perfect for you! The thing is unbelievable. It is amazing how powerful it is being about the same size as a lawn tractor. Funny thing is you could just about pick up a lawn...

25 - 30 ft depending on how heavy the snow is and which way the wind is blowing.

FYI - I can change my front mount snow blower over to FEL in about 15 minutes. It's a quick-attach type system, no bolts or anything to put on or take off. It's pretty slick actually. I've got the standard 50" unit here in northeast Ohio. Works great! Jeff

Mine was $2376 back when I bought it may of 2017. This was with the hand crank and not hydraulic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
