I've been pushing snow with a Arctic Cat Mud Pro for quite a few years the problem is always where to push the piles. This year I bought a BX and a 55" front mount snow blower. I am impressed with the BX power and hydraulics.
Nice machine I can't wait to get mine. I ordered a 2380 with cab, snow blower, the blade like yours, mower deck, rear scraper blade, and bucket... I was told a minimum of 2 months with all the attachments..
Nice job. We got about a foot and a half overnight, and expecting to get another six inches or so overnight tonight. Tractors barely getting any down time. Funny how we’re getting the most snow when it’s not even winter. Drive safe guys. It’s slick.
Thanks Jackson. Sounds like you got about the same over there as we did here. I think the airport was something around 15"? Makes me happy actually, get more time on the tractor and closer to the 50 hour breakin! Take care
While a plow or a snowblower is cool, nothing beats the versatility of a loader bucket. I can hit any pile of frozen snow and pickup the piece bigger than the bucket to move it easily. If you don't get to the snowplow pile across your driveway before it freezes the plow or blower are useless. The loader moves it all...... and can be used 365 day per year for other jobs too, mulch, dirt, stone. I have the backhoe / loader attachments, the best piece of equipment I ever purchased.
Yes for sure, the plow I have has a shovel like bottom so it finishes nice and fast plus the plow forgives the uneven concrete, but I always look forward to the snow pile move with the bucket, more seat time lol.
I have a 54" blower on front of my newholland and it hogs through any depth of ice or snow at end of my driveway from plowtrucks. And I live on a major hwy so the last 4' to 6' can get very hard and frozen. Had no issues hogging through 3' frozen banks with my little 25hp. To me there is no replacement for a front mount blower. But the Kubota does seem to push pretty well.
@@jeremyniles2676 I have to beg the differ on that I have the bx23s and I bought those little screw on skid shoes that go on each side of the bucket so it does not dig in uneven Terrain I swear it works just as good and it only cost like $70 so for me it was a no-brainer I would also have to get the third function button as well too pricey when something so simple can do the job.
Nice rig . I recently bought a JD 2025r with a boom mounted snow plow . Took some getting used to but works pretty good . I see what looks like a heavy hitch on yours but no suitcase weights ? Are your tires loaded ? My JD front end kinda pushes like yours was doing - would be nice if they put steering brakes on the smaller tractors , huh ? Nice video .
Thanks Bryan, congrats on your rig! I now have 200 in weights I always have on the hitch rack and on my new 2680 I loaded the tires with rim guard so that put me much closer to 500 which made a huge difference! I remember a Honda small tractor that had 4wd and 4 wheel steering back in the med 90s, sure wanted one lol. Love to see yours!
Is that Flashing light at the top is that factory or did you buy that and put it on I would like to get one for our Polaris Ranger or John Deere tractor
Hi Brian, I put both on, the mini strobe is permanent and the rotary I put up there temporarily for fun. Whichever you are interested in I can forward information to you.
Hi Ken, the dealer installed the ROPS LEDs, the headlights and the flasher LEDs came from vleds.com, the ROPS LED flasher came from Amazon. Congrats on your upcoming 2680!
@@KubotaBXathome I had the same loved the full time 4 wheel drive that was ONLY on the 6MT. I had to let it go a while back to buy a truck and do miss it.
Chris, waiting for my 2380 to arrive. That is a lot of snow, didn't see much slipping. How are those tires on grass, do they rip it up? Mine is coming with turf, but I can still ask the dealer to swap them out.
Hi Frank congratulations! The traction is great, no slipping especially in 4WD. I had turf on order but changed before delivery to bar after doing some research. Given many trips with any tire will be tough on your grass, but I am happy I switched to bar. Between the grade next to the house and the winter plowing I am very happy with the bar tire and would recommend you give serious consideration to it. If you intend to use it for lawn service remember the rear has a differential (a pedal to lock) and you don’t need 4WD to mow. You may want to see some of my vids showing the grade a bar tire will climb. Post your new tractor if you can would love to see!
How well can you back drag with that plow? I currently have a 6ft push box with the roll over abd it works great for back drags. Its mounted on the loader though.
Got from dealer, it’s a factory Kubota plow (BX2812) with a custom made edge at the dealer, are you in Mn? Are you interested in the quick disconnect too?
@@KubotaBXathome I am in Illinois but I think the factory plow would be sufficient. I just got my new Kubota today. The only attachment I got was the front loader. Also a mower deck. I will try to look online for the approximate cost of the plow, we get alot of snow also.
From the receipt it looks like around 1200 which I think included the custom edge. Separately they sold me shoes, don’t know why because you can’t use them with that edge. Let me know if you need some. Super exciting about your tractor! 2380?
They do, it’s a pedal you hold down with your foot if you need to, usually have to spin one or make a turn to sync then lock and hold down. Now I use rim guard and my weights adding about 400 to the rear and so far haven’t needed 4wd.
Hi Chris, I looked back at my Amazon order, evidently they don’t sell that brand, but the equivalent one I found for you would be this one also having fans, color temp and light output and pricing the same 880/885/893/899 LED Fog Light Bulbs or DRL leppein S Series 12xCREE Chips 6500K 6000LM Cool White Halogen Replacement-1 Pair www.amazon.com/dp/B07QPRKVZG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_rftiEb9838T5X
Hey Marc, with my bigger 2680 I’ve been running around 1800 puttering around, typically haven’t needed much more. With my 2380 doing the neighbored I ran more like 2200 I think.
Probably wish you bought a snowblower attachment instead of a plow. That was a lot of snow to push.. I just bought a bx2816 blower and I'm dieing to use it lol.
Fabulous congratulations you will love it! If I could justify one I would get it, but after the piles grow large I can put the loader on for more seat time lol

@@KubotaBXathome I have a John deere 1023 which is about the same as yours and the manual recommended 500lbs in rear weight. I have a loader on mine and it makes a heck of a difference. The cheapest rear ballast weight Is a diy I did. I took to steel break drums from my tractor trailer, and bolted them together, then I filled the inside with 3 bags of 80lbs concrete. Cost me $7, I had the allthread already.
Very cool how can you beat that price. I think you are right on with the weight being 500. I thought the weight set I got with my hitch would be 40-50 ea. X 8= 400ish instead of about 25 ea. Oh well, I am living with it for now.
I think the tractor is pretty fast for snow that heavy. Keeps me from having to go over it many times between car clearing and I still have the neighbors done.
That's a lot of machine for a 10 foot driveway. I plow 400 feet of road to access my home with a small John Deere Lawn Tractor. It would make quick work of your driveway, but you can't wait till it is 3 feet deep.
I have to clear snow from all my vehicles too and between them. It is a real time and back savings and savings not to have to hand carry across the driveway, so I pitch it on the driveway and plow it over. I suppose I could make several passes but why not save time and do it once.
Being a first tractor I think it fair to assume there is always a learning curve. I am now on my second totaling over 200 hours and have learned a lot. How would you suggest a better method ?
I could see a snowblower in your future with that kind of snow accumulations! Looks like you didn't have any trouble moving it!

Though I have nothing else to compare to I would certainly rate this one high perhaps for no other reason than the custom blade.
Why did you go with the dozer plow instead of the one that mounts on the loader arms?
I like the speed, size and maneuverability as well as the shovel cutting edge. Works better in tight spaces too.

whats up with only the left wheel spinning? these things dont have a Diff lock?
