Hi folks! Well, after 499.1 hrs and 61 months of ownership, I traded the trusty BX1870 in for a brand spanking new BX2380. It's equipped with 60" MMM (NOT the drive over junk) and the LA344S loader with SS attach bucket. First impressions- the 4wd is a more definitive/easier to engage than the BX1870. Sit a little bit higher than the 1870. I like the loader control placement. Love quick attach bucket. Removing the loader and hydraulic lines looks pretty simple and easy, but dealer didn't have anyone to show me( I even brought my trade to them and picked new one up). Like the front grille guard. I ordered another fuel filter housing for relocating the fuel filter from underneath tractor to side of tractor. I ordered some LED lights for the headlights off eBay, the 896 bulbs are available at local parts stores, but not in LED. I need to get some lights for the roll bar like I had on the 1870. I bought the bucket level indicator rod, need to install that. Putting the Messick's sway bar kit on this one, took it off the 1870. Also painting up A12 BX hitch receiver so I can install it on 2380(hopefully it will mount up). Only thing I'm not to fond of so far is the amount of fore/aft movement in the loader frame when I rest it on ground, not sure if that's because of the way it mounts/dismounts the tractor.
