My new 'Bota

[Topkatt 3908]

Evening everyone!!! Just joined TBN seems like a great site. I just got my new baby last week, a 2009 Kubota 1860 with FEL and 54 MMM. My son is thrilled and hasn't got out of the seat yet!!!!. We added some ROP work lites and a hitch for the cyclone rake. Washed and waxed the day we got it from the dealer. Traded in my JD x485, liked the JD but wanted a FEL and a little heavier machine. Got to run, more info later. Everyone have a good night!!!!

*Big up grade going from a JD x485 Garden tractor to the BX1860.
I have a BX1500 and there is no comparrison to a JD x485.

Good luck and have fun, **I've got over 500 hours on my BX 23 without a problem.

I've got a tad over 1200 hours on my BX23 and it's still goin like new.

Welcome to the Kubota Family and TBN.
You mentioned that you had a cyclone rake...how do you like it? I have been considering getting one for my JD riding lawn mower. What accessories do you recommend?

Afternoon Jim

I have used the cyclone rake for 8 yrs now without a problem. The only issue was that I wore the bag out in the zipper area and the engine developed a small oil leak which was easily fixed. We use the CR all spring, summer and fall especially. Would never be without it, leaf cleanup is a breeze. As for the accesories.... I ordered the pro wheels (dually) and the hose for handheld cleanup. Depending on the size of your property I would go for any of the models, they are basically built the same with larger capacities and engines. I have the Classic model and mow over 1 acre (hills and level) covered with trees.
If you have any other questions, please ask away....

Best of Luck
Tom
