    BX1880 or BX2380?

    Re: BC 1880 or 2380? Just swung by dealer...delivery tomorrow morning. Have the manuals for good reading tonight. I plan on taking loader off/on a bunch of times and the deck a couple times to get used to it. Then move some snow banks around to practice bucket work and get used to overall...

    BX1880 or BX2380?

    Re: BC 1880 or 2380? Was a tough decision between the 18 and 23...I’m sure I would be happy with an 1880. I know the 2380 will be more tractor than I’ll wver need....Well on my current property!

    BX1880 or BX2380?

    Re: BC 1880 or 2380? B series is definitely too big for what I need. Although I could think of 10k things I could do with a B or bigger tractor, I need one machine to do it all. Mostly mowing and then clearing brush/snow removal.

    BX1880 or BX2380?

    Re: BC 1880 or 2380? If I’m correct, the New 80 series BX have the sweet spot for FEL and mowed rpms show. Right on the tachometer. If true that’s good learning for a noob like me.

    BX1880 or BX2380?

    Re: BC 1880 or 2380? Love my x530 but can’t keep both, no storage for both. So although I’d love to go bigger, the primary use of what I get will be mowing, with bucket and snow removal next. Sounds like a BX is best for mowing and the light-ish bucket work I’ll use it for. And I agree I...

    BX1880 or BX2380?

    Re: BC 1880 or 2380? Well I emailed the salesman last Friday pics/specs of my X530 with it's attachments to see what he'd give me towards a bx. He made it well known they do not like taking in garden tractors and when they do, generally give very little. I'm well aware I would do much better...

    BX1880 or BX2380?

    Re: BC 1880 or 2380? I may never need the extra PTO hp but I’d rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it down the line...although 2k is a good chunk of change to save.

    BX1880 or BX2380?

    Re: BC 1880 or 2380? Sweet property! I see snow there but not a blower...do you find yourself wanting/needing more HP at all for any application?

    BX1880 or BX2380?

    Re: BC 1880 or 2380? OK....I love the fact that I'm getting responses from actual owners of both machines. I posted the same question on another tractor site and have been getting similar answers. The biggest replies that are beginning to sway me to saving $2k is that I'd run out of traction...

    BX1880 or BX2380?

    Re: BC 1880 or 2380? Fantastic feedback everyone. For reference I’m coming from a JD X530 garden tractor. It has done everything I’ve asked it to do and have zero regrets about it. I just have a new (to me) property that I want to clear brush/ivy/small trees out of. Also going to build a...

    BX1880 or BX2380?

    Re: BC 1880 or 2380? Excellent feedback! I will be running the 54” deck, MAYBE a bagger and snow blower in the future. I sat on both and aside from the lack of armrests, enjoyed the 1880 seat more. Salesman was definitely steering me towards the 1880. I know it’ll do everything I want to do in...

    BX1880 or BX2380?

    Re: BC 1880 or 2380? Thanks for the info...I plan on getting something like a Piranha teeth for the bucket and take out a bunch of brush/small saplings and vines/ivy. I’m leaning 2380 but trying to justify the extra $2k.

    BX1880 or BX2380?

    Searched around here and a few other forums and still have a couple questions... Local Kubota dealer quoting me at $13,500 for new BX 1880 with FEL (about $450 more for 2 lever QC Bucket) and 54" mower deck. He told me the BX 2380 would be $2k more. Do these prices seem fair? I saw "a guy" on...
