BX1880/BX2380/BX2680/BX23S

Now Kubota introduces the new BX80 Series, with improved operator comfort and the new Kubota Swift-Tach Front Loader, you can quickly and easily remove the front loader without getting off the tractor. The BX23S comes equipped with Kubota’s Swift-Connect Backhoe for all those digging jobs around the house and yard.

Easier operation, superior comfort, and new and simpler systems for attaching and detaching implements that let you switch jobs like a pro!

Smaller than a full-size tractor and easier to operate, the sub-compact BX80 Series has the power and versatility to take on your toughest gardening, landscaping, and property maintenance jobs. A fuel-efficient 3-cylinder diesel engine provides plenty of power to haul, climb, and pull your way through even the most challenging tasks. The new optional 2-lever quick coupler on the loader combined with Land Pride’s 3-point quick hitch system lets you hook up to more front and rear implements, letting you handle a wider range of jobs. The BX Series even makes maintenance easier with a hood that fully opens to provide quick access to all serviceable areas of the engine.

A sub-compact tractor with the power and versatility to handle a wide range of jobs. METAL HOOD / FENDERS

Strong and durable, the BX-Series’ metal hood and fenders resist dings and dents, ensuring that your BX tractor continues to look as good as it performs.

GROUND CLEARANCE

The BX-Series provides plenty of ground clearance - 8.3 inches for the BX1880, 8.9 inches for BX2380/ BX2680/BX23S - to get you over rocks and other objects in your path.

KUBOTA DIESEL ENGINES

All the BX80 Series Tractors are powered by rugged engines built by Kubota exclusively for the BX Series. The BX1880 and BX2380/BX23S come with 16.6-and 21.6-horsepower diesel engines, while the BX2680 packs a 24.8-horsepower diesel engine under the hood. All three engines are 3-cylinder workhorses that offer power unparalleled for tractors this size...more than enough muscle to tackle even your toughest jobs.

COMPACT SIZE

With an overall length similar to a standard garden tractor, BX-Series tractors are easy to drive and can work smoothly even in tight spaces.

The BX-Series’ compact size also means they’re gentle on turf. But don’t be fooled by their compact dimensions—these tractors are powerful and capable of handling a wide variety of chores and projects.

BOOM AND SWING

CYLINDER CUSHION

VALVES

Standard on the BX23S, an integrated cushion valve ensures smooth movement both horizontally and vertically, minimizing the shock that’s transmitted to the operator when the backhoe arm hits its range limits.

WIDE VIEW

Tucking the hydraulic hoses inside the backhoe boom provides two great benefits—protection for the hoses and greater visibility for the operator.

MECHANICAL THUMB

(Optional) A positionable mechanical thumb gives the BX23S the ability to grasp and move logs, landscaping materials, and other items with ease, greatly expanding the types of jobs you can do around your property.

It may be compact, but the BX23S’s backhoe offers jumbo size convenience and performance.

It features a spacious, comfortable operator station with ample legroom, as well as a curved boom, 20° angle of departure, hydraulic hose protection, wide sight lines, and the Kubota Swift- Connect mounting system for quick and simple attachment/detachment of the backhoe. It's the ideal combination of convenience and performance for all your digging jobs.

Convenience and performance in a compact backhoe.

KUBOTA SWIFT-CONNECT

A simple lever operation is all it takes to quickly detach the backhoe from the BX23S, letting you drive away. To reattach, just back the BX23S into the backhoe and let the auto-lock mechanism secure them together.

20° ANGLE OF

DEPARTURE

Steep inclines pose no problem for the BX23S, thanks to it’s 20° angle of departure.

It also means the tractor can be loaded onto trailers with the backhoe mounted.

PROTECTED HOSES

Tucking the hydraulic hoses inside the backhoe boom helps protect them from damage and the elements, thereby increasing their service life.

LEVER BOOTS

Boots at the bottom of the backhoe levers help protect the operating mechanisms from the elements as well as ensure smother operation and longer service life.

MORE LEGROOM

Wide steps on each side of the boom controls provide more room—and comfort—for the operator’s legs and feet.

20°

REVERSIBLE SEAT

When it’s time to switch from using the tractor or loader to using the backhoe, simply lift the reversible seat and swivel it to the back. The seat also can be adjusted forward and backward for optimal operator comfort.

NO-SPILL COUPLER

The backhoe uses the same No-Spill coupler system as the front loader to keep your backhoe clean and oil-free.

Kubota’s new hitch system lets you quickly and easily connect a much wider range of implements, including a Kubota pallet fork and snow blade, as well as implements from other manufacturers.

Also available is the Land Pride 3-point quick hitch which will allow for easy attaching and detaching of approved 3-point implements, often without ever having to get off the tractor!
