The Kubota BX1880 is the perfect entry-level tractor, compact, durable, and affordable. With its 16.6-horsepower diesel engine, HST transmission, and steel hood, this model is made to last and operate easily. Let's say you're moving mulch or want to transform your backyard. The BX1880 is highly maneuverable and a reliable tractor to meet your needs without overcomplicating things.
Best For:
If you’re needing something with more juice, the BX2380 has a noticeable power bump with its 21.6-horsepower engine and a wider selection of performance-matched implements. It comes standard with a four-point front hitch, so attaching implements like brooms, blades, or snowblowers is convenient! This model still maintains its comfort and user-friendliness.
Best For:
For those maintaining larger properties or navigating hills and rugged terrain, the BX2680 is good ol’ faithful. With 24.8 horsepower, four-wheel drive, and operator comforts like cruise control, this model is made for year-round productivity!
Best For:
The BX23S is a special subcompact in the series. Standing apart as a tractor-loader-backhoe (TLB) combo, you have three powerful tools in one compact machine! With the same 24.8-horsepower engine as the BX2680, this model has the capacity for digging, trenching, hauling, and lifting operations. Imagine clearing stalls to digging fence post holes, the BX23S gives ranchers and horse owners the versatility and strength to handle a wide range of tasks without switching equipment.
