Wow the world just goes round and round. I started my Kubota addiction with the BX1860. I worked her for 1100 hrs and loved every minute of it. Then I made the mistake of sitting in a B2650 HST with cab, I had to have it. I have enjoyed my B2650 especially on hot days mowing and cold days blowing snow.
A week ago my wife asked why I was still working ( I am 60yoa) I said because that's what guys do, right? After checking out my options, I am retiring, and we are going to sell the 4 acres were we live now and move into the duplex we own in town. Which is a double lot. SOOOO long story longer, the B2650 would be a little over kill

I traded today for my 3rd Kubota a BX2380, 48" front blower, 56" mower deck, 7 foot rear blade, loader with universal mounting. (The rear blade works great I back up to the garage door and start blowing the rear blade takes care of the snow the blower didn't get, it is a one pass operation), 48" box blade, rear fork lift. It is exciting to see the changes in the 80 series.

I ended up about where I started, Kubota tractors ROCK>

I daydream of retirement. At 38, its a pipedream... socking money away, banking hours for the Pension... body crumbling faster than I can pay off debt...

Congratulations. I was worried about a 5 foot blade being too big for the BX. I guess not if you have a seven foot

The 7 foot blade is a left over from my B2650, I used it for snow no problem. I have not used it yet on the BX, I hope it isn't toooo big for snow removal.
