i think BX2350 has a great powertrain. i love the engine, and the capabilities of this tractor. however i strongly dislike it's build quality. the plastic panels are garbage. the fit and finish sucks. my fender cracked so i had to remove it and take it to a collision shop. he epoxied and repaired with fiberglass, cost me $150. i had to buy the support structure, another $150. i took the floor off, sandblasted and painted it. the way things fit together...... come apart and go back together could have been done better. this thing is kind of a pain to work on. i dont like the way things fit together on this unit. the handles suck with the threaded inserts that now started spinning inside the plastic as i put it back together, i will maybe have to replace the handles if i take this thing apart again. my previous tractor was a farmall cub, the BX2350 is far more capable then a cub. 3pt hitch, 540 PTO, and an excellent usable loader. the cub had a loader available (if you can find one) but it was only a 1 arm and could only lift 400 lbs. the BX is far more capable of different tasks but old vintage iron was made so much better from a build quality standpoint. my cub was a 1948 it was well over 60 years old when i owned it. it was durable enough to outlast a war, a tough old tractor. the sheet metal was rusted, 20 minutes with a D.A. sander and the metal looked new again. owning such a machine was a good educational experience, we used to make things better. why couldnt the BX2350 have been made out of similar materials. will my current tractor last 70+ years, i dont think so.
how did the BX2350 compare to other machines sold by other companies at the time. i think the plastic is inexcusable. i know this machine isnt new anymore, but kubota still has to live with the fact they they produced it and there are still quite a few of them running, and it still represents their quality standards which on this machine is less then great.
how is the fit/finish on the BX2380? any better. they could have done a much better job with the 50 series.
