Waiting for my new tractor

[KubotaBX2670]

Hello all:

I have browsed the many pages of this forum over the past few months and found it very helpful in deciding what tractor and attachments to buy. I hope to be able to contribute to the discussions as I get to know my new toy.. a Kubota BX2670 with 60" MMM, FEL and rear snow blower... expecting delivery of it any day now.

Welcome aboard from North Carolina. Congratulations regarding your New Tractor.

:welcome: You will absolutely love your BX! I am jealous already... I want the MMM and a snowblower. Problem is I don't have enough grass (yet) and rarely get enough snow to justify but dang it... why not.

Thanks Creekbend... I've been to NC many times... beautiful area!

 

[KubotaBX2670]

Thanks Dragoneggs... we get a good mix of all the seasons up here... my grass cutting time on my previous mower (2001 John Deere - Sabre 1846) was enjoyable... although bumpy and time consuming.. I'm sure my new tractor will be like driving a Cadillac.. I'm looking forward the snow removal this winter too.

Congratulations, you will find the little BX can do a surprising amount of work and take a lot of use, one of ours is ten years old and runs like a top. They are very easy to maintain. Here are a couple of helpful links:

Thanks for the tips TripleR

My wife claimed the BX2200 and 2660 as "hers" when she retired and loves them. Things I found useful and some necessary as our property is pretty steep and they go into the woods from time to time:

1. Bro-Tek skid plates.
2. Wheel spacers.
3 Telescoping, pin-adjustable stabilizers to replace the original turnbuckle-style stabilizers. StabilWorks

I would definitely consider a skid plate, hopefully there will be some options for the thew BX70's soon...thanks for the tips!

StabilWorks... interesting. Could you tell us more about your experience with these? I like the concept (quick adjust with no tools!) but seems that the settings are limited. Has this been an issue at all with you? I like to snug mine up a bit but I don't know if that is a good thing or not.

It works essentially just like those on all our other tractors with this feature with the only difference being those came as OEM. I grew up farming and always had just a little movement with these types of stabilizer bars, on those without some play, the eventually got bent, so I never snugged my turnbuckles tight.

I'm still waiting for him to drop it down my chimney:stocking::stocking::stocking::stocking:... We got dumped on with a snow fall last night and I'm digging out with shovels and a snow float... Apparently there is a back order on the 3pt snowblower... Coming in Friday... Fingers crossed.
