Kubota BX2680

[Sir Henry]

I ordered one this morning. The only options will be the 60” belly mower and the tire ballast. It might be two weeks before it’s delivered.

That is probably a good decision Gene. It will certainly be a heavy duty lawn mower. I think 60" is a good length.

Congrats on the new equipment!
There is a Kubota dealer less than a mile from me, and they always have a nice lineup of equipment out front.
They're great engines too.

Thanks Dave. It’s a lot of money just to mow the grass.

I have to go 60 miles. Wausau is the nearest town with all the big boxes.

It's a lot of money, but it will be well spent as you sit on it for several comfortable hours.
Between your new Kubota and my John Deere garden tractor, they will outlast the both of us.

Get some noise cancelling head phones to listen to good music as you mow.

I try to schedule mowing to the Brewer games. Not noise canceling but I can still hear the games.

Yes, but you have a lot of grass to mow!

At our last place I had 10 acres of field to mow and another 10 acres of my in-laws next door also. Took me 4-5 days and I listened to a lot of Mariners day games doing it.

The headphones are a great addition. I got a set of Soundcore noise cancelling headphones, and I listen to a podcast or two while mowing. Usually it's the Reloading Podcast, and it helps pass the time. The noise cancelling feature works great, and it even lets me receive phone calls. Before having them, I'd never hear when a call or a text came in.
I'd definitely look into some kind of noise cancelling headphones if you don't already have them.

[Sir Henry]

My belly mower came in on Wednesday so I drove to Wausau to write the check. It will take them a few days to install the deck and deliver it. The grass is green and I can mow anytime.

[daytime dave]

I've mowed once and it needs it again, just too much rain.

I'm glad your machine is coming together Gene. Can't wait to see how it does.

[Sir Henry]

The mower was delivered today and I mowed about five acres in four hours. This picture shows the slope I have to cut. The Simplicity didn’t like the slope but the Kubota feels at home.

[Ernie]

Nice. Looks comfy too.

[Mags]

Nice, but that tilt looks iffy.

[Sir Henry]

Nice, but that tilt looks iffy.

It’s a specialty mower made for slopes. If I can hang on the tractor isn’t tipping over. With the Simplicity I had to hang over the side as counter weight. This tractor is 1,800 pounds and has a low center of balance. It can take a 45 percent grade and not tip. The problem is not sliding down sideways. It has hybred tires that are part ag and part turf.

[daytime dave]

That's a nice machine Gene. The seat looks very comfortable.
I have slopes all over at my place. It takes a while to get comfortable with them and figure which way you want to mow it.

Careful, I see two tractors in the same picture.......................................

I want to take a picture down by the main road with the Allis Chalmers in the background. I have the Branson and Simplicity and now the Kubota. But I also have a twin blade push mower for around tight places.

The Kubota feels rock solid on the slopes and yes the seat is very comfortable even at a tilt. I keep the roll bar up and even wear the seat belt. It’s quiet enough but I still wear ear plugs and I wear safety goggles. The only thing I forgot was the sun protection.

[Hatchdog]

That looks like a tough machine and I like the hybrid tire idea. That low center of gravity is wonderful. Lawn looks great too.

[rickhem]

Looks like a solid machine, and you must have some mulching blades on, cause I can't see any clippings, NICE!

[GeoBoy]

Admit it Gene, you have a problem, you really like orange tractors.

I have a few clippings that disappear after a day.

Any color but green.
