kubota bx1870

I was mowing a couple days ago and noticed my steering wheel was really sloppy, moved up down left right. After some research I was hoping that the bushings were shot. Tore it apart today and find a broken mount, looks like it's a very large part totally. Attaching some pics, has anyone had this...

I bought my second BX in November of 2023 for mowing only, it’s a 2014 BX1870 with 54” MMM, I added a Kubota grass catcher that runs off the rear PTO. Last Summer on a very hot day in Southern Michigan I had it overheat on me, cleaned the screen and blew out the radiator. Seemed OK after that...

My Kubota BX1870 won't grank over. turn key,lights come on,fueal pump clicks,fueal shut off opens! starter used to click and moter turn over,not now? help.

Hi folks! I have a question. Will a RCKB60-23BX deck work on a BX1870? I have a 54" deck now, and have noticed quite a few 60" ones for sale, but never any 54" ones. If it fits, would the extra 6" bog the 1870 or cause any problems? Not sure if anyone here has tried it or actually is using a 60"...

What rpm’s do you all use when cutting grass. I have been using around 2500.

Hey folks, just curious if anyone has extended their BX exhausts to above the hood?? I'm tired of cleaning soot off my loader:mad:.... I know it's a tiny exhaust, but just wonderin'.......

Anyone ever replace the water pump on a BX 1870?

So my BX1870 (about 50 hours on the clock) developed a strange problem. It appears this only happens when it is cold, under 15F or so. When I first start it, it starts but smokes like crazy and almost goes into a runaway condition. It revs way up regardless of throttle position, and...

I have been told that the 42" rotary cutter is the best size for my BX1870 such as the land pride RCR 1242 but others recommend a 48". I will be cutting tall grass with some small bush growth for my annual fire clearing in Santa Barbara, Ca. Any recommendations? Thanks

:D Today I took delivery of a new 2016 Kubota BX1870 w/ MMM & FEL. I am hopeful this is last mower I need to buy(I thought that w/ the new '07 GR2100 I bought:rolleyes:). This replaces a 2012 Cub Cadet GTX2000 I bought new in 2014,which I recently sold(I have thread in Cub Cadet section on that...

I am discussing a trade in of my low hours '14 BX 1870 for a new BX2670. Either tractor performs well for me with the my mowing needs, but the new BX 2670 has a slightly longer WB, 2" or so. The extra WB translated to the 2670 being much better ergonomically speaking, the leg room has extra...

I've been noticing my floor pan on the bx collects a ton of dirt and dust under the rubber mat, had an idea of taking that mat off, pulling the floor pan off and having line x work there magic on it. It's already scuffing the paint. Anyone else had this idea? My tractor is relatively new, had it...

I couldn't find any newer 1870 videos before I made my purchase so I made a short one. Kubota BX1870. Quick overview - YouTube

Hello, Long time lurker with newly purchased 2013 BX1870 (New to me). So picked up this Kubota BX1870 2013 model, love it! Curious to what are the differences of the BX1870 and BX1870-1 searched however I can not find the main differences. Thank you Dave iCloud Photo Sharing

Kubota guy say no worries but all I read online is tractors flipping. Any advice on how to approach this hill?

Hi Folks ... I am about to purchase one or the other. We only have 1 acre but 1/2 is wooded. I do have trees to mow around and I have enough slope in the yard that my JD 345 has real issues going up the slope. It likes to make divots :( Thus AWD or 4WD. I can get the BX1870 (new) 54" Deck and...

(cross post from Kubota Lawn & Garden) didn't know if this was permissible, if not, accept my apologies. Here's my scenario...have a L4400 with bush hog for really heavy stuff but lack a finish mower for tighter areas. Have 16.4 acres of prairie and some woodland. L4400 has performed...

Here's my scenario...have a L4400 with bush hog for really heavy stuff but lack a finish mower for tighter areas. Have 16.4 acres of prairie and some woodland. L4400 has performed admirably. I have a large fenced in garden with fruit trees and Aronia bushes and the L4400 is just too big in...

We just got a new kubota bx1870 two weeks ago, we love it, and are looking for an offbrand tiller for it, that will not cost $2,200.00 question is this, Should we spend the cash and get the brand tiller, or are there conversion kits or etc off brand lower priced tillers for the back end...

When I try to turn dial to put mower deck lift to "TOP". It wont go! I can move dial freely to all numbers but wont go into "TOP" Any Help?

My new BX1870 only has 30 hours on it. I was using it on Saturday mowing, then moving some dirt. Suddenly engine RPMs fell off and it acted like it was going to stall but stayed idling rough. I shut her down waited a bit and she started right up but continued to run rough with no power. No...

The manual for the L203A says to put the bottom 2 bolts of the loader frame with the washers and nuts on the outside of the frame. The front bottom has a welded bolt on the inside so maybe they made a mistake in the install instructions? The rear bottom one looks like it can go either way -...

I have a 5x10 single axle trailer rated for ~2400 lbs. I am planning on getting the FEL for the 1870 as I already have the valve to run the front mount blower. Can I back it on on the trailer (no FEL or MMM) to get the weight up front and put the loader in the bed of the truck? I was able to...

Does anyone know if the ROP hinges from a BX1870-1 can be fitted on an 1870? The foldable ROP on the 1870 is nice for mowing under trees but not so great for maneuvering around them or around other structures. - Steve

Hi First post and I need some advice. I am surrounded by neighbours with way more tractor experience than I. When I ask for advice I get the same answer from both the green and the orange supporters. Basically stay away from the other one. I trust and respect all their knowledge so that's why I...

I've owned my BX for a year now with no issues... until now. Last night I went to start it and as soon as the starter began to turn over when I turned the key, the tractor went completely dead including all of the lights on the dash. Taking the key out of the ignition and putting it back in and...

I've had my tractor for a week and have almost 10 hours on it between mowing and splitting wood. I added some fuel just be safe but the gauge read a little under half. even it was close to empty that's still way under a gallon/hour. I run the tractor at ~1800 when I split which seems to be...

OK I'm sure that you all think that I'm nuts - but....: I already had a 72" tiller for my TC40A, so thought that I'd try it on the 1870. Had to trim the PTO shaft and move the mounts on the tiller to the max inboard to keep the drive shaft from (length) binding. Having to trim only 1" off of...

Anyone ever remove the ROPS because it gets in the way? I was thinking about it. My land is flat and for mowing I don't need it. When I use the FEL I keep the load low when moving around so I don't see how I could ever tip over.

I have a new Kubota BX1870. I ordered the 48 inch fine cut deck. Now I'm thinking I should get the 54 inch regular deck. The 54 Fine cut is not offered with the BX1870. So what are your thoughts? Keep the 48 fine or go for the 54 regular?

I've got about 5 acres; two is lawn and the rest woods/alders. My plan is to use the tractor to convert an acre of existing rough to gardens/lawn and then use it for mowing everything and doing general gardening work. I cant make my mind up between a B2320, which would probably be better at...

is there a BH for or that will work on a BX1870?

Just obtained a new BX1870. Put 1.5 hours on it today tinkering around. This will primarily be my mower, but got the loader w/ it as well. While operating the machine I noticed at RPM's below 2500, when the steering is at full turn I get a shuddering/vibration that is basically felt throughout...

I took delivery 8:30 am and I used it to move some snow piles behind my house until the ground started to get soft (didn't want to tear up the yard) But what a nice unit. I may get the grad for the grill i like it. i guess it is time to set up a sig with a pic now that i have a real tractor...

Hi. I am joining as a new member and unfortunately my Kubota experience has started out a bit rocky. Almost the owner of a new BX1870, but not quite. I ordered the tractor with 48" mower deck, loader and ballast box. Dealer delivered the tractor today, but there were a couple of issues. 1)...

Anyone have average dealer prices for a bx1870 with FEL and 54in MMM? Debating between this machine or a used bx1860 or bx2360 if I can find on locally in the midwest.

The BX1860's are about gone, but the local dealer could get one from another dealer. The BX1870s are available. I'm weighing which model to get: - I like the new dash displays on the 1870. - The BX1860's ROPS is shorter, but doesn't fold. The BX1870's ROPS folds, but doesn't fold down all the...
