    I’m not ever going to buy a tractor but I loved watching the interaction between father and son and the logic that was applied to the reasons why you purchased it. I think you will save a lot of young people or heck even some old guys a good amount of $$ Congrats on your SMART purchase and you look absolutely adorable on it with Adler!🥰🙏🏻🇨🇦
  • @pinetreehill586
    Great job on this video guys! It’s very important to consider how much you’ll use anything you pay good money for. We’ve got only two acres and this would be a great size for us. My dad (next door neighbor) has a larger one and my uncle a few houses down has an even larger one. We borrow one of theirs for helping to fell and move the thin tall pines we have left on our hill. There’s no sense in us buying something large for so little land. We just move dirt and rocks a lot. I really appreciate all the information that will help us to decide what tractor to buy.

    I bought an 1880 a year ago with the 54” deck (permanently mounted). No plans for a loader or other implements. In fact I removed the 3 point attachment. I mow an acre of semi-rough terrain. In addition I move trailers with a front mounted hitch with ease. I absolutely love it.
  • @jimmyd7369
    Gentlemen, First let me say this is a very informative video - well done. Just for those who may be uninitiated, I have the BX2380, the extra height of the taller tires allows me to leave my 60 inch deck installed regardless of what's on the three point. Ground clearance is of course reduced with the deck on board but when fully in the 'up' position, it has proven not to be a problem for me. However, at 64, I'll have to agree that mower deck removal and reinstallation for servicing is a bit of a pain, but, as you point out, she's a grass cuttin' fool. Really enjoy your channel - looking forward to future episodes.
  • @tedcallaway9432
    I have the 2380, if you raise your 3point hitch to the top, move the grass cut height adjuster to the top and the deck should stay up when you drop you box blade.
  • @lindahitt6825
    Really informative Grandpa. Thanks to you and Chad for doing this tractor review. 👌🚜
  • @lrwoods13
    I don't even need a tractor but Grandpa Adler convinced me that the 1880 is the one I need 😜
  • @saltwateranglin
    Great vid guys! My 1870 is my favorite tool on my 5 acres. Does everything I need and more. Looks like new, runs like new and never breaks. I’ve got at least 6 attachments and they all work great.
  • Thank You I watch several channels that use the Kubota subs but have never been quite ready to hit the stores & salesmen in person. This video answered 99% of my questions especially about the backhoe attachment which I have never seen on the smaller tractors. Thank You !
  • This video was so informative and educational. More people need to see the thought process and logic in making large purchases like this. Good job!!!
  • @donnalawson4235
    I won’t ever need a tractor, but I found this interesting and informative. Great discussion.
  • We love our Kubota. I've knocked down numerous things, some on purpose & some by accident lol. It worked well either way haha. 👊💪💜
  • @eituyn
    Great video guys. I really appreciate it. I'm planning on picking one up in a week or so and this has helped me feel a lot better about my decision. Going loader, mower, bagger, brush hog attachments. Thank you for taking the time.
  • @that.schamp
    Great description of the thought process of buying the right tractor! What many newbies do not realize is that a major limitation on what a tractor can do is it's weight. Without weight to provide traction and counter the load, more power gets you the same amount of wheelspin. The useful loader capacity is also limited by weight. A more powerful loader would let you lift the tractor farther off the ground, but it won't get a heavier load anywhere. Even stripped of the loader and backhoe, I find the BX is too large and awkward for mowing. It's big, the ROPS gives no end of trouble with trees, and it just does not maneuver well. I ended up keeping my beat up old riding mower, and hope to get a zero turn eventually. The BX mower deck does run beautifully, makes a great cut even in high gear, and is undeterred by tall grass that chokes my riding mower - so there are times I will go to the trouble of putting the deck on the BX... but most of the time I use the mower deck, I'd be as well or better off with a flail or shredder. FYI, with my BX23S, I have been able to do some loader, box blade, and backhoe work with the mower deck in the Top position. I don't do major jobs with the deck on, but it gives a fair bit of clearance, and I have not had the trouble you describe. For big jobs, I put a BXpanded belly plate in place of the mower, and it would also drag if the deck height was not set at the top position. I suspect you have a problem with the deck height controls.
  • Nice job. You covered all the things I thought of when I purchased mine . I got the 2380 so I had a little more power to run a tiller. Video really gave a lot of real life views to think about.
