Ok. I sold my BX1800 back to my uncle only because he wanted it back. HA. :'(
I live on 5 acres and like to be outside messing around.
Here's what I would use a new Kubota for:
Turf Tires
Loader with SSQA
- work around the yard
- leveling, lawn repair and seeding
- mulch
- powered wheel barrow
- plowing snow, probably a pusher box
- 3rd function and grapple for wood and brush
3pt
- Box blade/land plane for leveling
- Carryall
- Leaf Vac (Like the protero but maybe homemade)
MMM - 60"
- Leaf pickup
- Wife can run it (doesn't run my zero turn)
My biggest IDEA is using it as a leaf pickup machine. I currently use a zero turn to mow, and have been looking at baggers that mount to it, but think one on the 3pt would be the best option and I could go PTO powered. Definitely must be dump from seat.
I like the bigger frame 2650, but not sure I *NEED* it. Have a 510 backhoe and other tractors.
Question:
Does the mower deck make a difference between suspended/ground contact as they are different between the two when mounting a leaf vac hose to the deck?
I can see benefits to either. I have a lot of trees to mow around and know that a tractor will never compete with a zero turn, but I need something for LEAVES, so many leaves. Currently I use a 16hp leaf loader and fill a 6x10 dump trailer 4 times.
Leaf Attachment Options
- Protero PV 18 PTO
- Terra King TKV 20
- HastyVac/Tracvac etc.
- Kubota - does kubota offer a bin style for the BX/B series? Do not want the 3 bag.
