Great video, pretty spot on. Picked up a pretty well used BX2230 with @ 700 hours on it 8 years ago. used it problem free to mow 3-4 acres around the house including some pretty steep stuff that no garden tractor or zero turn would touch. Also maintained about 1/3 mile of gravel drive with it and pulled the deck off and on all the time. Once you get proficient with it it's really pretty easy, just occasionally remind yourself that you own a Swiss army knife of a tractor, and you have to close the blade to use the screwdriver! They are really great and tough little tractors! Never had all of the 23s attachments, but they would definitely make a good little tractors great! I'm blessed to be in a spot to buy a new one, stepped up to the B2601 TLB with a 60" belly and also putting a 60" flail behind it to mow the other 7 acres of pasture I've been mowing for 17 years with a pull behind bush hog and my Honda Foreman. Dealer is putting it together next week, can't wait to get it home, really feel like I put together the best package not only for me, but my property which is really what it's all about! Cost no object, we'd all have a track skidsteer, excavator, cab tractor and a big commercial zero turn!

Kubota made a fantastic line of diesel lawn mowers that are really great. I have one that is a G1800 four wheel steering and it is truly a pleasure to use. Doesnt have a differential lock or high low range like larger models but for casual yard mowing it cant be beat.

I also have the B2601 belly mower. It’s 54” and it’s not bad, but you still are man handling it to line it up. Plus laying on the ground to hook up the PTO. Still like you that set up works the best for me. And I have had a half dozen garden tractors in my life the B2601 is a joy to mow my yard with. Great cut, power steering, cruise control, tilt steering. Good info for people.

Great video brother! You bought your BX23s for the same reasons we bought our 2017 BX23s. The BX does so much for us with one tractor to take care of. When we bought our BX23s, our dealer gave us the 60" mower for free with the deal. It was some promotion Kubota had at the time when we got ours. So basically, ZERO percent intrest, a free 60" deck, out the door for $18K back in 2017. Since owning ours (170hrs later), it has been more than a blessing for my wife an i. We`ve had ZERO issues with it! Ok, here`s the kicker.... our BX23s 60" deck is still brand new sitting in the garage. We`ve never used it. We took the new deck just for the simple reason that one day, we knew our John Deere 420 gasser may bite the dust. ( i rebuilt the engine 2yrs ago, not much else wrong with it today) But to this day, our ole JD420 is still cutting our 2 acre lawn perfectly fine. I did have to buy another deck for the JD due to the old one rotting out. But the tractor still runs great, and i found a barely used 60" JD deck for it way down in NJ. Paid $550 for the JD deck and brought it home. But we know, one day, we`ll have to give up on the JD420, as its getting harder to get parts for it now. So, there`s where the new Kubota 60" deck will come into play. We won`t have go try to buy a new lawn mower. As for the ZERO TURN mowers, nope, no thanks, its not for us. The ZERO TURN`s are a one trick pony. We need the BX23s. It fits OUR needs, perfectly. Now, that`s not saying i would not ever own a ZERO TURN, because there may come a day where changing out the mower all the time on the Kubota, will be a chore i`m not willing to deal with. I am in my 60`s, and permanently disabled, so there`s that, too. Anyhow, always enjoy your videos Lucas. Be safe out there!!!

I just bought a 2018 Kubota BX23S (March 2022) with a 60 inch mower deck. It has 196 hours. Previously owner wanted to do a lot of digging with it but truthfully used the 2 buckets twice. Definitely original paint. He had a zero turn that broke and that's why he bought the machine to cut 3 of his 5 acres. We're here in Orlando where you cut 10 months a year. The 3 years he had it that's all the time he put on it. He never took the deck off since new. Didn't know how to. Obviously, I do. Thanks to everyone's videos. The mower works fine for my 3/4 acre. I already helped neighbor dig out a tree stump with backhoe, love the versatility. Zero turn couldn't have done that. As far as the deck itself. It's really well built. I keep it indoors so rust probably won't happen for years. I need to fabricate out of car dollys a gizmo to quickly attach to each side of the deck to help slide it in and out more efficiently. Obviously this would be for cement garage floors, but someone else could take apart a Gorilla cart and use its tires to fabricate something that would work on grass. I have car dollies and will try this weekend to come up with something to do this task. Wish me luck !!!

Plus the one up our Kubota BX has over zero turn machines is power. I've heard zero turn's can cut 12 inch grass, but honestly most operators will tell you they wouldn't do it again. Our BX's will go through 20 inch grass, with the RPMs up of course, and do it all day. Unless you get a $12,000 zero turn, there's no way they could compete.

I picked up the 60" non-drive over mower for my BX2680 last week. More so because it was supposed to come with my tractor when I bought it 9 months ago, so since I paid for it initially I want the dang thing. I don't plan on really using it on my property, but on a couple lawns I take care of I'll definitely use it there. I have to take the deck off after I get done with it as my tractor won't fit through the door of my shop with the deck on right now...hoping in the near future I can get the door/opening rebuilt so its wider and won't have to take the deck off too often. The deck install and removal doesn't take too long, its the fiddling around with everything else to get the deck from out back, remove whatever implement is on the 3 point, then install the mower deck, etc. I haven't taken the loader off yet, just did a bit of a test mow out in my pasture part of my property...does a great job mowing on my uneven ground. I have a Cub Cadet XT1 42" lawn tractor that I use mostly for mowing on my property and that won't change...its just nice having the 60" mid mount mower for other jobs, as well as a backup for my own yard. I could mow most of my property with the Kubota and mid mount mower, but I'd have to use my push mower around all the trees and such in the front yard. My 60" mid mount mower was $2600 (including tax) last week as I got a refund check from my salesman as I got tired of waiting and bought from another dealer. My salesman looked and said they're still showing mid to end of July before my deck would have showed up, well that's a bit of a long wait which would put it at a year of waiting for the mower at that point. So I went with a different dealer to get the deck. Not upset that I got the mower, just upset about the lack of planning on my salesman's part for not ordering stuff like he should be. The mower cuts great, isn't too hard to install or remove once its setup...I can tell you right off the factory shipping crate its a pain in the a** getting things setup so you can even mount it on the tractor. You have to manhandle the deck to get the wheels lowered enough to be able to roll it around, and so that it sits at the right height to hookup the the rear lift arms on the tractor, as well as get the front harness adjusted properly. So a lot of reading in the manual and measuring to get it setup. Once that's done though it ain't bad at all installing/removing the deck. In my case its the I have to take the loader bucket off, go get the pallet forks, then go back around and get the mower...bring that around to the carport, then drop the pallet forks off, and whatever implement/attachment I have on the 3 point...then back onto the carport to install the deck. its usually a 10-15 minute process for me to install or remove the mower. I don't mind, I have it when I need it. I just need to get stuff done in my shop so I can get the mower into the shop before winter.

@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead I had to order my BX2680, wait a month for it, then never got the mower as promised. Got tired of waiting and made my salesman refund my money and went to the dealer in the next town over and got the mower the same day, he had 2 in stock and 4 more on the way the first of July. Not sure what's going on at the other dealership, but the one I got my mower from is doing it right and ordering way ahead of time. 42 hours on my BX, and loving it...such a time saver, and seems like I'm using it for something at least 3-4 times a week.

It would be my first time owning and using a tractor, so there will be a learning curve. Thought he machine will most likely be used mostly for lawn care the projects couldn't be done with it.

I realize your video is a year old but I just now watched it. First I have to say if you've ever used a zero turn mower, everything else is disappointing. I had a cheap zero turn when I bought mt BX25D in 2016. Like you said, the cheaper mower decks suck. I was having to weld on it 2 or 3 time a season. So when I bought the BX I also got the 60" deck. I mow almost 3 acres with lots of obstacles so I still used the zero turn for certain areas. Finally between wrestling the Kubota deck on and off and repairing the zero turn deck I bit the bullet and bought a commercial grade 60" zero turn. At the time it was almost $8K, but worth every penny. Got it from the same Kubota dealer with zero percent financing. Eventually I sold the BX deck. As far as storage, yea, the zero turn takes a little more room, but it's a hundred times easier to store it. I think the bottom line is, there is nothing wrong with the BX deck considering the points you made, but if your trying to choose, a cheap zero turn is not worth the money in my opinion. As far as the drive on deck, I heard more bad than good about.

Great video! I agree you have to do whats right for you. When I started off i use buy the craftsman 48 inch riding mower. But I not mowing just grass i mow brush, weeds, sticks, rocks, gopher and squirrel mounds. With that being said i did not want to spend a lot on something I was going to destroy. I have been on my ranch 30 years started with the 48" craftsman then went to the 54" craftsman riding mower. During that time I ended up buying a Kubota L3130 with the intention of buying the mower deck for it. I have plenty experience with mower decks and heavy equipment sense I use to maintain over 150 miles of fire breaks and oil pipeline right of ways. So when my last mower was on it last leg I had to reevaluate my needs and my terrain. I had never bought a Zero turn because of pricing and was always told they were they way to go. At this time I had never even operated one and had no idea if they were worth it. So I was still looking at the Mower decks for the Kubota and a newer riding mower. Then I saw cub cadet had a 54" zero turn for the same prices as the standard riding mowers like I had always purchased in the past. I already knew the kubota mower for my L3130 was $3K more and knew my tractor could not mow 20% of what I was currently mowing because of its size and the terrain. So I would have to weed wack or still buy another mower for those spots. My wife and I decided on our wedding anniversary a couple years ago to go buy the zero turn. Now I know why they are so popular. What use to take me 4 hours to mow with the standard 54" craftsman ridding mower now only took me 1 hour with the 54" zero turn. I had no idea the turn radius took up so much time plus the wear and labor on the body. Crazy I couldn't believe it and kick my self for not doing it sooner. I will say this riding mowers are more stable on hill sides then the zero turns but once you get use to it its not an issue. After the first 2 mowing's with the zero turn i did change out the rear tires to a deeper lug and made a huge difference on traction and stability. My land is rough, hilly and lots of debris so its not meant for regular lawn mowers. I even had a professional company that sells mowers tell me I was crazy. Well they were use to regular grass lawns like around a normal house or park setting nothing like living out in the country. Hahaha its not the first time a ran in a company that did know how to deal with rural homesteads and ranch issues. Now most of my land is clear now but I still might buy a flail mower for my Kubota L3130 and hire out to clear fire breaks around houses. maybe in the future.

@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead So with the stock tires they suck with any type of moister. Yeah I would have just a little bit of fog in the morning and that was enough for me to slide into my fencing with no control. I had big issues with that. I had use bigger lug tires before on other mowers so I said why not on the zero turn. The bigger lug tires solved all the issues I had with it. Now with surface mud and some water it is ok and get through it now. But for soggy ground I think if it had a good thick grass foundation and flat you would be ok. Any ditches or low spots not so much. With a zero turn it is easier to spin the wheels and get stuck because of that left side right side driving the direction. I have been stuck several times with both types of machines mostly driver error and pushing the limits beyond the machine like I always do. But I have never been stuck in the same place twice.
