kubota bx2660

I am wondering if anyone has had any good or bad experiences with a Kubota BX2660.

Pulled my seat off and apart to replace the safety switch. Switch got lost in transit, I just received the replacement and not am having a brain freeze on how to reinstall the rails on the seat. Anyone with a 2660 out there could you lift the seat and post a pic of the underside of the seat. I'm...

I have a fair bit of mechanical experience, (up to and including building my own race engines) but this seemingly small thing has me baffled! I have a Kubota BX 2660 which has a hand throttle that did not work when I purchased the tractor used. I have studied this diagram from the official...

Stopped at AutoZone, Tractor Supply, and the local surplus store with no luck. Front tires arre 18" x 8.5" with a 10 inch rim. Rear tires are 26" x 12" with a 12 inch rim according to the guy at AutoZone while he was looking into it for me. Just looking for something a little better designed...

Hello all. As the title states I have someone that does not 'think' he will use the loader, and asked how much I would lower the price if I kept the loader, and removed the brackets. I know the easy answer is make him buy it with the loader, and then sell it himself, but what does a good (100%...

Sunday, I mowed about 20 minutes. Got off the tractor to move a hose out of the way. When I tried to restart, it would not catch thanks to the wonderful safety plungers, this time on the pto engager. Turned the switch off, yanked back on the engager, still only a click. Turned switch off again...

Been wanting to put better suspension for the seat from the time I got it. My land is bumpy and this helps out a lot. I also put the new seat that a few of the guys got a while back, the seat is better then the one that came on it. Take a look at the deck. I put them on and only had to...

I went to twin cyls. on my Bx2660 and I have the bucket cyl. to sell. I know for sure there one hose, maybe 2 asking $200.00 for them. This cyl well fit a lot of the loaders. Part #7J612-64013 check it out.

I put fuel in my BX2660 and the fuel nozzle was full of lady bugs. This was 1 1/2 years ago. After cleaning tank it ran good until this year. There must of been 3 to 6 I didn't get out. Had to pull mower off and blow back into tank, removed 2 or 3 bugs. Ran good for about a week then had to do...

I've been looking for the past few months at tractors and Sub Compacts, I finally found what I think is a good enough deal to pull the trigger on. I'm looking at a 2012 Kubota BX2660 with a loader and 60 inch belly mower with 50 hours for $11,000. From what I've found that is a very good price...

Saw some stuff online---eBay, etc., just wasn't sure how to measure. This one looks too big: UNIVERSAL CHECK CHAIN STABILIZER TRACTOR 3 POINT HITCH 23"-25" | eBay This one looks too small: 2 Universal Fit 3 Point Hitch Turnbuckle Sway Check Chain Stabilizer 11.75-13.5 | eBay Thanks for...

Major maint. tomorrow. Need to know how to bleed loader. Doesn't begin to load soon enough even when eng revs are up.

Tips for identifying and fixing intermittent power loss on a BX2660? My best guess at this point is algae in the tank and/or lines. But I'm open to other ideas. Power loss intermittent, mostly on inclines, and tends to start within 10-20 minutes of operation. Especially when spinning a brush...

I believe I have finally isolated my hydraulic leak to be the rear PTO cover plate. It looks to be a pretty straight forward repair, but I thought I would ask to see if anyone had any good tips. While I知 back there I will go ahead and replace the oil seal also. Thanks

Hey everyone. Im the proud new owner of a 2009 BX2660 with loader and 60 MMM. I bought is on Wednesday for a pretty good price I couldnt pass up butof course it has a few problems I discovered. First, and easiest, half of the engine cover is broken off and the headlight assembly is broke in half...

StARTS BUT DOES NOT CONTINUE TO RUN. Temperature 4 above. Changed air filter,fuel filters. Now not starting.Lacking fuel flow. Do I have to prime fuel line? How?

Got a good start putting twin cyls on my BX2660 this week.

Have you guys had the left front rim actually break around where the lug bolts hold it on? My other three rims are doing just fine. A dealer used a battery powered hand-held drill(?) to install two of the lug nuts that had fallen out. Get to cutting grass and one of those backed out, with the...

I went out and started the tractor this last week and when I tried to throttle up, the throttle handle turned, but it did not actually do anything. I'm thinking that there is a problem with the throttle cable. Thoughts? Is this something easy to change? I'm not incredibly 'handy' with...

Unit came with R4's. Bought a set of turfs for cutting lawn and pushing snow as chains mounted better on them. When I do FEL work, I mount the R4's. That said, they clog up. Thinking of going to R1's to replace the R4's as I have some major dirt moving to do. Can I use the same rims? Tire /...

Seriously looking to get a B2601 with BH, FEL, & MMM. My BX2660 is a 2011 with about 550 hours on it, with FEL and 54" MMM, all in rather good shape, stored indoors, maintained, etc. So, I could trade it in, which would get me minimum $$$, or I could post it in the classifieds (maximum $$$?)...

I've had the 2660 for about 5 years, mowing mostly (54"MMM), but also building and maintain gravel driveways (FEL & box blade), general FEL work, and a little brush hog work with 48" LandPride on the PTO. So, I will be building a new home next year, I run HAM radio antenna lines and have...

My 09 BX2660 with 270 hrs and 60 inch MMM is giving me problems with the mower belt. Last month, the belt climbed half way up the left pulley (as I am seated) and wore through the plastic pulley guard. Everything was lubed as per specs. The tensioning arm has a very strong spring but...

Hello Everyone, I am looking at a used Kubota BX2660 with Loader, 60" Mid Mount Mower, and Canopy for $13K from a private seller. Does this sound reasonable? I have seen others on here that purchased them new for around $15k it seems. He is also willing to add a 4' tiller, 4' box scraper & 4'...

Wanting to put in a garden this spring, I am looking for advice on which rotary tiller to run off the PTO of my BX2660? My other implements are LandPride, by they don't seem to carry tillers. Also, wonder if I should go forward or reverse rotation of the tiller? I value quality/reliability...

Hi. I recently bought a BX2660 and I also bought a BX23-BT600 backhoe. I know that I can't directly attach the backhoe (because Kubota didn't intend for it to have one) but I want to somehow find a subframe and somehow attach it to the tractor. Can someone please help me??? Will I be able to...

I have a BX 2200 that's in need of some work. I'm thinking of buying a BX2660 and was just wondering about how many parts are interchangeable. Are the engines similar etc? Would be good if I only had to keep one set of parts. Thanks Rick

I've got an opportunity to pick up one of these with very low hours at a fair price. Problem is I live in the middle of nowhere, have livestock that require daily care and handle the farm pretty much by myself until my dear wife is able to retire and quit driving back and forth from Seattle to E...

drive shaft came disconnect off mower and pealed hydraulic oil filter and thread shaft out of housing. Does anyone know if there is a repair for this or do I have to replace whole transaxle housing.

It looks like a few of you on this thread have same tractor as me or have dealt with hooking up a linear actuator for your blower. I ordered one last week on Amazon , (6 inch throw , 200 lb) I think it is 5 amp draw. (has not arrived yet) Now I have a homemade cab that I have already installed...

Fun 1st post. I have a 2 1/2 year old BX2660 with a 60 inch belly mower that I bought new and it has been fantastic. I was mowing a steep hill in my front yard going forward up - I used to back up it, but this was a new experiment. There's a hedge row at the top that requires backing or driving...

I cut about 2 acres around my house with my BX2660 and appreciate having cruise control but, when I set it, my ground speed drops perhaps 15% after I take my foot off of the speed pedal. Is there an adjustment that can be made to keep the tractor going the speed I would like to set it...

My BX2660 has around 280 hours. Bought it with 180 hours. I checked the front axle lube and it was low, changed and filled up. When turning in 4wd with a heavy load in the bucket it acts as if it is binding up. Is this normal? It doesn't pop, but just seems as though it's binding up/grinding...

I've decided I need to get a disc harrow for my BX2660. Do you BX guys have any recommendations? I assume a 4 foot one would be the right size. It would probably lift and pull a light 5 foot one, but I'd rather have a heavy 4 footer than a light 5 footer. (I've used disc harrows enough to...

Is it possible to run a 60" tiller on a bx? Or am I asking for trouble?

There is a large cap behind the injector pump marked "oil". I can not find any reference to this cap in the owners manual. Is this a second way to put oil in the crankcase (As opposed to the cap on the valve cover)? Does the injector pump get oil from the engine?

I just bought a 2009 BX2660 and in the process of changing all the fluids. The owners manual says that an oil and filter change requires 3.7 qts. When I put in the 3.7 of Rotella T-6 and ran the engine for a few minutes, after shutting it off and waiting a few minutes the oil barely reached...

I'm interested in buying a rear finish mower for my BX2660. Will it handle a 60"? Or should I stay with a 48" one? The BX2660 has 19 pto hp, so I'm pretty sure it has enough power to turn it adequately. But I'm wondering if it has enough lifting power on the 3 point to lift it. I've got a...

I wanted to trade it in & get a B25 but they will only give me 7K & it only has 240+ hours. So im thinking about getting a woods BH6000 which I think comes w/ a sub frame & pto pump?? Im just not sure what would be better for me. Id rather spend less as possible but I want something that will...

I was working the tractor pretty good trying to dig up a stump and roots. Hit bypass ALOT. I backed up and noticed fluid on the ground. When running...fluid drips from around coupling. When using loader or 3 point the fluid shoots out. I took it loose, it's a flange fitting. Is there supposed...

I'm going to look at a Kubota BX2660 with FEL and 60"MMM. It has 100+/- hours and has been stored inside. The 50 hour service has been done. Would $11,500 be a fair price for it?

I found a deal on a L2052 snowblower locally. It was on an L series, so it would have the larger quick hitch. It looks like I could get it cheap enough to make it worth ordering the female side of a quick hitch and swapping that over. Will this be way too big? We have a 60" blade on it now and...

I found this piece of metal on my driveway today after driving over it with my BX. Is it from my Kubota? Thanks for the help. Further inspection, one end is clearly broken. Plus there is NO dirt or grease on it.

Don't know for sure, I bought this tractor with 189 hours. Changed the hydro fluid with SUDT yesterday. Replaced filter and cleaned screen...which was pretty nasty. Think there's anything to be concerned with? ALSO...had a bonehead move with the change. Changed fluid in garage and took...

Hi! do not know where to put my question! I want to buy a kubota BX 2660 or 2670, what is the difference??

I'm having trouble with a Kubota BX2660 3-point hitch removal. Anyone have a good description of how to remove?

I can get a brand new LMC single roller pulverizer for $519. Just curious if my tractor will adequately pull this size? I have R4's and the rear's are loaded (although theyre small) Thanks

I'm wondering if anyone had any ideas for putting a storage box somewhere on this tractor? As y'all know, it's a small tractor...but would like a place for gloves, maybe a chain, etc. Thanks

Thinking about selling the MMM from my BX2660. It's a 60" in great condition. Any idea of worth? Thanks

FINALLY got a tractor today. It's a 2010 BX2660 with 185 hours. Bought it from a hardware store. They had just installed a new loader (but it's an Ansung B2405) and a 60" MMM. Immediate plans are WHEEL SPACERS to hopefully make it more stable Considering filling tires for above as well...

I have a bx2660 that is not used much in the summer but gets a decent workout in the winter running a snowblower. I am looking at going to a synthetic and had my car mechanic recommend amsoil 5w 30. Will this work or should I stay with a 15w 40 as recommended?

Due to a job move, I'll be selling my BX2660 that has approximately 60 hours of use. It has the 243 FEL and 60 inch deck along with the following BXpanded add-ons: - Quick-On Receiver Hitch - 60 Inch Snow Plow w/ skid shoes and abrasion resistant edge - Quick on Light Kit - Piranha Tooth...

I have a 2008 BX2660 that I have bought various implements for thru the years, (se my signature) but now with my 1994 Husky lawn tractor on its last legs I am considering buying a mid mount mower for under my BX2660 instead of another lawn tractor. My concerns are 1) that I have installed 2...

So I want to extend the bucket on my FEl on my BX2660 (4 ft bucket) I find in the winter moving snow the bucket could handle more that now falls off the sides and back , also in the summer for moving topsoil or woodchips. So I stopped by the "traders metal" and got to raid their scrap bin of...

Good afternoon all. I am in some severe need of assistance. I have a 2008 BX 2660 that I bought new in 2009. It has an FEL and a 60MMM. The tractor is used 95% for mowing about 5 acres. The other 5% of use is split between grading my 1500' driveway, snow removal and doing some light...

Anyone have experience using a ratchet rake on a BX? I'm looking to clear out an acre of 3/4" saplings for food plots.

Don't ask how, but we own both of these Kubota models. We need to do the following chores: 1. Mow the lawn (using the BX2660 for this) 2. Drag a 70x110 indoor equine arena (have a 5.5', 400lb dedicated drag for this using B2920) 3. Brush hog 3-4 acres of pasture (have a dedicated 48 in brush...

As it says. Sitting on my BX, I'm about 6" over the top of the ROPS. I'm going to put a canopy on this summer and integrate a self made can before winter. I would like a higher ROPS. Anyone done this?

i have a kubota bx 2660 4 wheel drive.... the front wheels stop pulling when under a load... when i first start out it works then it just stops and the back wheels start spinning... any suggestions greatly appreciated

Ideas for snow plow for either Kabota BX2660 or Kabota RTV500

I just spent three hours removing snow and breaking up ice on our looong, hilly gravel driveway. Then I ran a load of garbage to the end of the road with the BX2660, pushed in the parking brake, and hopped off to unload the trash. As soon as I got off, the engine quit. I figured that I must not...

I'm most likely moving somewhere where my yard will be much too small for a tractor. 2 questions: * What is the best avenue for selling 1.5 year old Kubota BX2660 with 54 hours? I'll post locally on craigslist, but I wanted to see what other options there may be. * Pricing suggestions? It's...

Help, am i missing something obvious? My bx2660 constantly gels even at relatively mild temps, its 25F today and the thing is gelled solid. I mix my anti gel additive into my fuel, Ive tried howes lubriator and power services arctic diesel supplement. Ive mixed them at above the recommended...

Hello, My FEL raise/lower stopped working. Curl function seems fine. The FEL control is sloppy as if there is something not connected. AND shortly thereafter there is no tractor Forward or Reverse engagement or movement. No sign of hydraulic leaks. Rear and mid hydraulic lifts seem to work...

In April (4 months ago) I began the process of killing about 3.5 acres of field grass. The area had crop rows (2 to 5" deep) that made it unbearable to mow in any direction other than parallel with the rows. I'm glad I started killing the grass when I did because that stuff won't die and stay...

I am having a fuel delivery problem with the BX2660. It runs out of fuel and when I disconnect the hose from the rear filter very little fuel flows from the hose. When I blow air back through the hose the fuel flows freely, so it is pretty obvious that I have something blocking the fuel line on...

I was mowing the grass today and the mower engagement lever would not "spring back" automatically when I disengaged the mower. I took an air hose and tried blowing out around the lever under the lest fender in case there was a stick or something lodged there. It did not start spring back...

I'm looking at these two machines. I think I could do a little better on the new BX2360 pricing, but the used BX2660 is value priced based on all of the other similar machines I've priced, mainly on Tractor House, but also at various brand dealers locally. Both machines have same FEL, and MMM...

I am considering selling my BX2660 for financial reasons and would like to know where can find the best average price to sell it for. I have been looking around, and find no BX's used, except an 1860. Maybe that's a good thing, but I need to be realistic. It has 170 hours, FEL, 60" MMM...

Just made my last payment on the BX2660 Been a good little unit,will enjoy it even more now that's it's payed for

I've searched and can't easily find. Need a post hole digger for my bx and have been told by some that any size will work, but most say I need a smaller one because the bx can't lift high enough the "normal" size one. Have found a woods for about $900 and a shaver for about $700. Any advice...

This BX2660 came home new a month ago. Last week a seal failed at 18 hours and all the hydraulic fluid ended up in my driveway - I spent 4 hours last Monday at the dealer waiting to get that fixed. Yesterday, at 29 hours, I turned the ignition switch off - and the tractor kept running. The...

All, I have a 2011 kubota bx2660 with hydrostatic transmission with 145hrs. I have just bought this used. I have noticed when I release either the forward pedal or reverse pedal the tractor still contiue's to move (very slowly). It stops a couple of seconds later. Is there a problem with my...

Been on fence and worrying to death about buying a used 2011 BX2660 with only 125 hours. With loader and belly mower. Excellant condition. The price is $12,400. From what I have found this is almost an unbelievable deal. What do you guys think? The seller says the tractors don't have titles...

Will my bx2660 work we'll with a woods rcc42" rotary cutter? Thanks all.

Anyone running chains on all 4 wheels on a BX2660 with AG tires? This is my first real snow with my BX and Sno-Pro plow and I'm having a heck of a time getting traction. I can hardly make it back up the hill to plow back down. If I plow at an angle, it kicks back out. I have 260 pounds of...

Hi, After 350Hrs I've got my first problem with the BX.:confused: Today when working on the field (with a 3pt sprayer PTO driven) I had a sudden drop in RPM. It happend about 10 times during the hour. I really don't know what is wrong with it. When it dropped in RPM I disengaged the PTO but it...

Hello all, I need help!!! First off, my bx2660 has been nothing but problems. I have lost count at the number of fuel filters I have replaced just to keep it running, have taken tank off and cleaned, tried fuel additives, etc, but still have to constantly replace the filters. But, my reason...

Just purchased my 6th Kubota yesterday. This one will pull double duty as a lawn mower, and a barn tool. Ended up with a BX2660, FEL, 60" MMM, and I added a few implements that I've been wanting. A Land Pride FSP700 broadcast seeder, a 3pt landscape rake, and I replaced my ArmstrongAg...

I checked the manuals for both my BX2660 and Woods rotary cutter for the best ENGINE RPM setting for hogging but both manuals suggest checking "the other guy's" recommendation. I know the rear PTO runs at 540RPMs but how fast should the engine be running?

Hi, I just want to share some modifications I made to my BX2660 I wanted to add on some front weights without drastically modifying the front guard. just look at the pictures. I use the quick connect bracket from the MMM to secure the weights. Also installed a speedometer for using my...

Hello everyone, New to the forum and looking to get my first tractor soon. Residential use in Ohio, 2 acres to mow, 3 acres to keep clear, 250' driveway, and creek to keep clean. Lots of hills. I believe that the Kubota and John Deere are the top choices with reputable dealers nearby...

How much rear ballast do you carry on your BX series machines? I just bought my first ever SCUT, its a BX2660 with 60" MMM, and FEL. Right now with no rear ballast using the FEL is down right dangerous! I want to build some kind of ballast box or some kind of block of steel/concrete/lead or...

If any BX owner has any tricks to share regarding removing their fuel tank please let me know. I think I have dirt or crud in my tank which is causing my machine to bog down as if it is fuel starved. I have already replaced both filters (the lower one twice in a span of a week) and also...

Guys - my 2010 BX2660 sprung a leak last year about 2 months from new. It was the hardline just above the rear PTO shroud. Dealer replaced no problem. That was July 2011. The same hardline has just developed a leak at the same fitting. Not a drip, a full power washer type stream. Tractor is...

I've been a proud owner of a BX2660 for a couple of years now and have used it to mow (54" underbelly) a couple of acres and snow blow a 100' driveway and large yard. Last payment is next month and to our unexpected surprise, we purchased some land and we will be building a new home on 12...

Need some help here. Was moving mulch with my bucket today and after moving 4 yards my tractor starting shaking and lost power. I was able to restart and move some more mulch - even engaged the blades and it would run fine for a while and then out of nowhere would just idle down on its own and...

I just recieved my new MMM 54" for my BX2660. When I try to install it the bracket at the front doesn't line up. Sure, I can force it in position, but then it only holds the deck on one site. I've included some pictures. Is this normal and should I just use it this way?? Adryan

Here is my question, if your running a Wallenstein 42 PTO chipper, will you feel any difference in the chipping capability between the two tractors, I am aware that the HP PTO rating is higher on the Bx2660 but they are the same engines and one is rated at a lower RPM for HP then the other.

Can I change my tranny filter and clean the screen without making a mess? I've got 50 hours on it so I don't want to change the fluid yet. Thanks for any help!

Hi, I just want to check if this is normal, my 3PH drops about 2"/hour when a load of 350lb is lifted. The tractor is bought with 35 hours on it (2011 model) My 30 years old Iseki doesn't. Perhaps this is normal for a BX??? Perhaps another owner can tell me how his BX works? thanxs in...

At the begging of last summer when I was taking the blades off to sharpen them I let the deck slip as I was turning it back over. This means the deck came down on the gear box. At the time, I looked it over and I couldn稚 find anything broke/leaking except for the gear box lid scuffed up. As...

Hi, just recieved my 2nd hand bx2660 with only 28hours on the clock! I have 2 small problems with it, perhaps someone can point me in the right direction.. First the 3ph doen't lower enough for me. Is it possible to rotate the uperlink arms a bit (they are on a splines shaft) so the lower link...

Ok, today I decided to change the oil on my BX2660. I also have a block heater that I was going to install (getting ready for winter). When I took off the cowling, I noticed that there is an oil port on the left hand side of the enging (left side when sitting in operator's seat)...

Hi, Wondering if anybody has an answer on how to fix this. My bx2660 stalls when i try to drive it with downpressure on the FEL. I can put the brake on and push the bucket down all day and lift the front end up etc and it doesnt stall. As soon as i drive it forward and put even a little...

I am doing my 400 hr service on my BX2660 tonight and picking up filters at dealer on the way home from work, I have one gallon of Kubota SUDT leftover from a couple years ago, but I forgot to check my manual on how many gallons or quarts the transmission will need. Any one have a manual handy...

Hey folks, I'm new to the forums...Looking to purchase my first tractor to help me manage 13 acres in NC. I've done a lot of reading on the forums (thanks!) and have concluded that a BX-series tractor is probably the way to go. I have a lot of slopes on my land. The tractor will encounter them...

I would like to take the upper and lower links off when I mow, and when I pull a wagon with the BX2660. The upper link comes off easy as pie. Is there any way to take the lower links off quickly? I can remove the center plate that the turnbuckles attach to, but then the lower links just slide...

Well, I did it. Pulled the trigger on the BX2660. Couldn't get past the "0%" and the fact I will have this for another 10 - 15 years, so I went new. Went with R4's, 60" mmm, FEL, and plow. This should cover the core duties but I'm sure there will be other implements in my future. Dealer...

So, I am doing the 50 hour service and I pull the front axle fill plug/dip stick to check the oil. Dry as a bone. WTF! I shine a light in the hole and the axle shaft dry. There is a small amount of oil in the bottom of the casing, but it is nowhere near the bottom of the dipstick. Yes, it...

I'm looking to pick up a rotary cutter sometime in the next week or 2. I have a WTB listing on CL, but nothing comes up I'll buy new. The Kubota stealership sells Land Pride which seems to be "farm grade" quality. They quoted me $1425.00 for a 42" slip clutch model with a shield. This is...

I'm feeling a little tipsy (and not in a good way). These side hills are scary. Glad I didn't go with a B Model! Can anyone make a recommendation for spacers on the rear wheels on my new BX2660? I'm guessing 2 inches (or more) on each side would make a big difference. I'm also going to bum...

I have seen on some forums the statement of the bx26' You will run out of traction before you run out of power'. I use my bx2660 (Turf tires) to move around my 20ft cape island fisher (on a 4 wheel trailer). I have trouble pulling the boat up my ramp (quite shallow incline). I can back her down...

I'm trying to lock out my 3ph moving up and down following my manual which states to turn the 3 point knob clockwise to lock it. When I do this my 3ph still moves up and down but my mower deck, which I want to be able to raise and lower, doesn't move. If this knob is working as it's supposed...

The 2660 has been excellent for my needs. That said, it would appear that I made a bit of a mistake in thinking that a BH would be a "not all the time" requirement. Now, as I look at the projects I have lined out, there are not many I can do without something to make a hole in the ground. I...

We have had issues with the lights on our BX2660 ever since the cab went on. The cab kit relocated them to outside the fender, right where they get hit when you get close to the fence to mow. The first broken light has been replaced and I decided to relocate the lights today. The cab kit mounts...

Hi guys, was looking for a little advice. My tractor has been in the shop the last 3 weeks for a transmission leak. I got it back and all is well. I go there so much I have become somewhat friends with the mechanic, real nice guy, and has helped me out alot over the past year or so. Long story...

Hello, As the title says... which is better for mowing a home yard... a BX or the B? I would be using it with a belly mower from Kubota. I like the fact the B machine is larger, etc. But I'm concerned about turning radius, etc. The machine would be used to mow close to a house just like a...

I've been wondering how much mower my 2660 can handle. I know it runs my 60" belly mower in tall grass without so much as a hiccup. I'm growing tired of raking my lights off on the bushes and think something I can back under the bushes might be just the ticket. I tend to wait too long to mow...

It seems I've got a lot of work on both my daughters place and mine. Any experience with chippers? Recommendations on brand? Approx what $ do these run?

I've searched for hours but can't find anything about the red button that is behind the 3 point top link mounting. Sorry, no camera. What's it do? I'm afraid to push it without knowing.:confused2:

I just received the Heavy Hitch and Installed the John deere painted orange suitcase weights on my BX2660 .

I've read the archives on the 50-hour service, one area is unclear... When I remove the transmission strainer assembly for cleaning, will all the transmission fluid drain out? Since the manual rates the fluid for 400 hour replacement, this would be captured in a clean pan and poured back into...

Alright, so we have decided to befriend our trusty GL3130 with a BX2660. BX2660 60" MMM FEL Brush guard R4 Filled tires We've gotten 2 prices so far, and Im going to call the only other local dealer here to me in MD/VA tomorrow to check their price. Kentucky: $14850 (we would need to have...

I'm thinking about making a financial move, which includes selling my BX2660. It has about 330 hours on it, looks and drives new, includes FEL, MMM, and both turf tires and R4's. It seems in N. Illinois, the prices range between $10k and $13k. Local dealers are around $16k new, plus tax.

Does anyone know how to completely remove the lower links on a BX2660? Specifically I'm trying to understand what I have to do to get the "pin lower link", item 010 in the attached PDF, out. I'm trying to retrofit a set of B series telescopic stabilizers and need to slide the pin out so I can...

Hi guys, just wondering if any of you could summarize the differences between the 2008 and 2011 models of the BX2660. I've searched the net for info, but haven't been able to find anything significant. There's a dealer here with a new, but weathered, 2008 model. Not sure if paying for a 2011...

Hi guys - at about 20hrs my FEL and 3pt hydraulics started to whine loudly when raised, lowered, or curled. The same noise was present when reaching the end of piston travel and hitting the bypass valve. It wouldn't do this until the oil was hot. When cold it was quiet. At 26 hours I changed the...

I just moved from OK to TN and am currently building a new house on 5 acres. Going to this size of a "yard", I just bought my first tractor, a used BX2660 with a FEL and 60 MMM. It has 120 hours on it. I bought used because most of my money is going in the new house, plus the dealer was able...

Everyone was so helpful with my couple of what should I buy questions that I thought I would share what I finally ended up with. BX2660, FEL, 60" MMM and BB. My local dealer was able to get my new tractor ready and delivered before the long weekend. He called to ask if I was available this...

New member here with a little problem...I recently purchased a new Kubota bx2660 April 8th, 2011 with 60"mmm, FEL and box blade. I've mowed a total of 3 times and after inspecting radiator screen after last mow I discovered it was corroded and rusted. After further inspection it appearers as...

Been noticing small drops here and there. I looked under it briefly and it looks like its coming from the Mid pto that hooks to the mower. Going to look closer today and take the mower off and clean it. If it is leaking, is there a seal that can be replaced from the outside? Also, this is the...

I guess I am littering this place with threads, but ya'll asked for pictures, so here they are. BX2660, 54" fine MMM deck, Land Pride BB0548 box blade. About 2.4 hours on the meter at the time these were taken.

The two Land Pride choices are the BB0548 and the BB1548. They are both 48" and both have 4 scarifiers, the basic differences are: BB0548 - 12" side boards; 277 pounds. BB1548 - 17" side boards; 382 pounds. BTW, the BX2660 manual specs the box blade maximums as 48" and 375 pounds. I'm...

My first post here too ;-) I have 6.5 acre (1.5/5 yard/pasture) and was using a Troybilt 46" and a Yanmar YM2000 (24hp diesel). I have a 48" blade, a 60" chain harrow, a 48" Howse rotary mower, and a 48" 2-row disc. I am wondering if I should keep the Yanmar (would like to get the $$$ out of...

Hello, I was wandering if anyone has put a better seat in their BX2660? I am looking at one from Princess Auto http://www.princessauto.com/all-seasons/outdoor/acreage/tractor/8032915-universal-suspension-seat I chose it cause the ride in the 2660 on rough terrain can be a real pain in the tush...

I know this one has been done, but here is one more. I'm super happy with the heavy duty construction of this unit, and Jeff is great to work with. Mark the location for the bucket brackets. Use a framing square and the measurements in the instructions. If these brackets are crooked, you will...

Will a 2660 pull a 14" single bottom plow or would a 12 be a better match? Ian

I've not looked. Is it integrated into the transmission? I assume it is. Ian

I want to get a berlon tooth bar for my bx2660 my bucket is 46 3/8 wide but how thick is the metal on bottom of bucket

These are the upgrades or customiza I have done to my BX. You might of seen some of them before, but I thought I would put them into one post. #1 is the bracket for useing chains and a small boom pole. #2 & 3 are the front bumper with chain holders. #4, 5, 6, & 7 is the skid plate and how it...

I have a chance to pick up a 2009 Bx 2660 with 65 hrs. It has a new 2011 loader on it, no mower deck, looks really nice. I can get it for 10,250. Any thoughts guys?

I was fairly certain that PTOs were standard all around, but now I'm not certain. I tried for hours to get my new Lorenz 430 snowblower's PTO shaft attached to the BX, but it just won't snap in securely. I finally measured the distance from the PTO coupler lip to the ball bearings used to...

This is the step I made today for the old woman. It is removable by removing one bolt and it slides in and out. Right now it's all the way out. I wanted it smaller and she wanted it wide, I lost. The only thing lacking on her tractor is a hyd. top link, wheel spacers and maybe adjustable lower...

Today I was pushing snow and everything was working fine. I took a brake and always park the tractor in a heated garage. I went to start the tractor and knowticed that when I turned the key to heat the plugs and heard the fuel pump clicking it wasn't just a continuous clicking like normal it was...

Hey guys (-n-gals), I'm researching the BX2660. I plan on using it for mowing ~2 hilly acres and using the FEL for general yard maintenance like moving mulch, dirt and moving firewood from the wood shed to the house. Might groom the gravel driveway with it as well. Do these machine have...

I have a BX2200 with the loader ,60 inch deck and snow blade BX 2763 since new in 2001 with 418 hrs and it has been a wonderful little tractor and never been in the shop for repair.I'am considering looking at a new BX 2660 with the front loader ,and deck but I'am not sure if it would be much of...

Hello everybody, I'm new to this forum but have already read lots of the good advice and information shared here. Over the past 3 months or so I've been thinking about purchasing a Kubota for mowing, FEL* work, and blowing snow. I've about given up looking for a used machine in my area and...

Just purchased a new BX2660. Kubota's brochure on the BX series tractors describes the 1/4 inching value function for the 3-pt along with a picture of the control lever. To me, the picture clearly shows 2 limiting nubs (protrusions) associated with the lever cover (right rear fender). I don't...

Did a couple more things to my BX2660 to fit my needs a little better. It came with a lawn mower trailer hitch, so I made a draw bar like the big boys have. Also I didn't like unhatching the seat every time I had to lift it up. The hatch is there because the seat belt hooks to the...

Hi All, Have been a Kubota fan for many years and owned a B1500E, G1800, BX2200 and loved them all. Now, will be in the market for a BX25 early next year. Even have my wife's OK!!! (Glory!) Got to looking on the Kubota Corp website and noticed in the specs that the BX2660 has 2.5 more HP than...

While running the rotary cutter today, I noticed the throttle lever felt loose compared to the way it normally feels. I also noticed the RPM's start to slowly creep down. Needless to say, it got to be a little aggravating holding the throttle down while using the tractor. After a search here...

Hello I am just doing some maintenance on my BX2660 before the snow comes and am wandering if any other owners knows where all the grease zerks are located on this tractor. The manual only says and shows the one for the HST pedals but to me it seems weird for a tractor to have only one fitting...

Just got these done today. I also redone the left lift arm, It wasn't made just right. In the next to last picture you can see my buddy, she is always right next to me. The last picture is me and her.

When I was mowing this past weekend (full throttle), I noticed the tractor start to lower the RPM's by itself, cough a little and then back to full rev's. I dismissed it. A few minutes later, it kept doing it so frequently that I couldnt mow the lawn anymore. Alas, I brought her into my shop. It...

I'm upgrading to either a BX2660 (probable) or a B2620(possible). Final pricing will carry some weight - utility/versatility will, however, guide my hand. Grass cutting around the house has has slowed considerably. Although I will add a cutting deck (54" or 60") to one of the above, I will...

To All: I will be getting a brand new 2010 Kubota bx 2660 on Saturday. The 3pt hitch is a cat 1 but it seems narrow and with a short distance for the top connector arm. Do you need a special size (shorter) connector arm for the top? My JD 790 had a cat 1 hitch but was much wider and needed a...

Just did my 50 hr. engine oil and filter change, the manual says it will take 3.7 qts. of oil with a filter change, thats what I put in the engine, but on the oil dipstick it shows that its low, its just a bit past the half-way mark, so I could maybe add about 4 to 8 ounces to put at the top...

Just got a BX2660 and when driving I could fell and hear a popping coming from the front axle. I raised the front end off the ground and could not move the wheels up or down. I took the pivot bolt nut loose, had to use a 1/2" bracker bar and my leg to get it loose. That thing had to have 250lbs...

Any body know what size socket it takes to take the blades off my BX2660 THANKS

I was curious what your thoughts are on this video YouTube: BX2660 MMM Vibration at 2200-2900 Engine RPM Am I paranoid or do you think this is a real problem?

I had an opportunity a while ago to pick up a GB60 box blade and it was suggested to me that it was too big based on how much material the box itself would hold. Was told I'd likely be spinning my tires once the box filled which made sense. I am still in need of a box blade and 48" seems to be...

I was going to put my questions into the attachments forum but because I wanted it to be specific to my model I thought I might get more responses from this one. I'd welcome opinions from all and epecially from those who have a bx2660 and their tiller experiences. I would like to buy a tiller...

OK, Game on, this is my first thread that I started, I think. I usually only post if I can add positive information on other posts. Now I need help, My BX2660 is now taking longer to engage the PTO. Initially it was a delay of a couple seconds, maybe 2-3. Now I am waiting 7-8 seconds. is there...

How far does your 3pt drop down? Mine well drop until the arm are level. Is that right?? Sure doesn't seem right, I would think they should go close to the ground.

Well, finally got it today and it is a fine machine. Did my first lawn cut with the 60" deck, it really gives a very nice cut and I am impressed. Still not sure about throwing the grass and might have to eventually invest in a mulching kit. But for now, my grass was about 7 inches high and thick...

I have looked at a BX2660 with loaded R4 tires, loader,60" MMM, and 1 set of rear remote hyd. The help is on price. I'm getting as much as $2100.00 differents from dealers 60 miles apart. I'm right in the middle of the dealers. The highest is $17,401.00 and the lowest is $15,240.00. What are...

How can you tell when my BX2660 was manufactured? BTW I love this thing.

I would like to say Hello on my first post and that I have been lurking here for quite some time. Finally bought a BX25 today (sorry no pictures). I am of a short stature and would love to put on the 2660 seat for the adjustable seat back. It felt wonderfull at the dealer and plan on...

I have an issue with a new PHD I purchased from TSC. It is the CountyLine Model 100 (Speedco?). It is currently on sale. :) The issue is that there does not appear to be enough clearance on the toplink for the boom arm to raise more than halfway. At about halfway, the arm binds agains the...

Looks like the 1 year old BX2660 MMM FEL with a bit over 60 hours (50 hour service recently completed) is going to be hunting a new home in a couple of weeks. I'll mow with it until my F3080 4wd 72" Rear discharge mowing deck arrives from the warehouse on the next shipment to Barlows. Also...

I have an opportunity to pick up a nice used Woods Box Blade model GB60 and was wondering if there were any BX2660 owners that might be using something this heavy? I contacted Woods and they recommend the "estate" version which is 48" and closer to 300lbs. The GB60 is almost 500lbs and I...

Our resident X700 basher got me thinking about how they actually compare to the sub-CUTs. And while I was sitting here waiting for the laundry to finish drying I had the time to look it all up. Seems to me that the X748 holds its own pretty well and is exactly what it advertises itself to be: an...

Just bought a BX2660 with a MMM and box blade. I am now consiidering the Landpride RBT1560 Rear Blade as my next addition. It will be used in SW Florida so snow is not a consideration. It will mainly see use on about 450 ft of gravel drive. I need the tilt feature of the RBT series. Will...

Just received my new BX2660. Looks and sounds great! I have a new owner question. I noticed that there is a small gray plastic cap in the center of the fuel filler cap. I am assuming this cap is covering the vent hole and should be removed. Am I correct? Thanks.

I think I could have lifted that little BX up and turned it upside down by myself today I was so mad!!:mad: I have 2 hours on it, and a stick the size of my thumb finds its way up and beside that cute little white plastic fan....you know...it looks like those little hand held battery operated...

Moved more dirt from my top soil reserve pile up to my garden, Drug boxblade most of the time to smooth out my "road" down to my pile of dirt and back up to the garden. Finished my dirt moving/boxblading and ready to reinstall MMM since grass is about a foot tall. Turned tires on MMM so they...

Here in Missouri I am getting quoted bx2660, turf tires, 60: fine cut deck: $12,500 FEL: $2,400 I have the green light from the mrs to get it but would feel better if others could tell me it is a fair price. From my email barrage to dealers within 100 miles (at least 9) they have all been...

has anybody used a full size phd like you would get at tsc? Looking at the 2660 but want to make sure it will work with some of my existing implements with the phd being one of them...Thanks..also list some of the implements and sizes you are using..Thanks again:thumbsup:

I am shopping for a box scraper for my BX2660 and a local dealer is offering me a 48" and 54" landpride for about the same price. It is a BB1554 which weighs 402lbs that I am considering. Thanks!

Hello, I am new to this site, but have enjoyed reading the various posts. I recently received a quote for a new BX2660. *BX2660 Tractor *LA243 Loader & Bucket *60" MMM *4 foot box blade *Grill Guard *Turf Tires The quote was $15,219 How does this sound? High, Low, About Right...

Did my 50 hour service on my BX2660 this week. I removed the MMM during the 50 hour service. I took pictures of most of the steps. I see where some people claim to be able to remove and replace the MMM in under 60 seconds and never get dirty or break out a sweat.:) I didn't have it that easy but...

I have a Kubota BX2660 and I am looing for a Box Blade. Anyone have any suggestions to what size and kind to get for this size tractor? The width of the rear tires is approximately 44". Thanks!

Tilled my brothers garden and moved some dirt and then tilled my neighbors garden and then moved some more dirt and then got the new BX25 out and took some side beside pictures. Noticed the BX25 runs smoother and quieter and the accelerator lever on the BX2660 is really stiff compared to the...

Hi Everyone, The quotes for a new BX2660 with a front end loader are starting to come in. Here is what I have so far. One dealer asked not to be recognized, so I won't mention any of them. Dealer 1: 40 miles away, 14,800, no tax or delivery. Says this is where we need to be, final. Will...

I have been reading this forum for awhile now and my father-in-law is in the market for a new tractor. Yesterday we started out for the Kubota dealer and found they were closed on Mondays so we stopped by the John Deere dealer. He immediately was drawn to an X748 with the iron 60" deck. An...

Just wanted to share some pictures of the work lamps I've installed on the orange beast. They came out great! 6000 unadulterated lumens blasting out into the darkness... I used a modified Osram Sylvania Xenarc X1010 High Intensity Discharge (HID) Xenon Lighting System that has had the bulb...
