"I bought this tractor to replace a BX2350 that had 600 hours on it. The first problem was that the first time I used it. It coated the inside of the left rear wheel, and the frame on that side, with hydraulic fluid. I found that the factory had failed to properly tighten a hydraulic fitting. Also, I found out that when operating the tractor on a slope of 15 degrees or more, with the right side downhill, I get a heavy shaking through the floorboard, the seat, and the steering wheel. I found out this is due to a "motion limiting" L bracket on the right side of the engine that is too close to the frame. This is a design error "engineered" in at the factory. When I talked to the regional service representative, his solution was to force a piece of rubber hose between the bracket and the frame. I don't think that a jury-rigged solution is appropriate for a $14,000 tractor. An engineering solution and retrofit part should come from Kubota to fix this. Since most of my yard slopes at 15 or more degrees, this is a constant nuisance and I have told the regional service representative that it could have a long-term consequence in weakening the frame welds. His choice is to ignore the problem rather than take this to Kubota corporate. When I listed the manufacturing complaints on my "customer satisfaction" survey form and sent it in, I heard nothing. Finally, after hearing nothing for a month, I called and found out the form was "lost." After a week, I received a call that customer service had now found my survey and rather than report these problems to a corporate level, their solution was to refer me to the regional service manager - we see how well that worked. "

REVIEWER'S ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Pros: Heavy duty construction, good paint, features, reliability Cons: Poor design for limiting engine movement, poor factory support, poor quality control in allowing this bracket to make it through design and into production (inadequate testing and poor quality control), and poor assembly in leaving a hydraulic fitting loose (again, a lack of quality control) Type of User: Homeowner 10-50 Acres Location: USA TN I also considered buying:

"I just love my dads kubota bx and i'm the only one who drives it about 99% of the time between me and him. I don't yet have the FEL for it but with it mowing at about 2500-3000rpm, the thing feels like it has way to much power for its size tractor. I love the thing to death, even the sound of it idling is so great to hear. I have noticed that if I start it up, the way that the hood compartment is built, it has a bad rattle sometimes when I start it and let it warm up. When it shuts off as well it kind of sounds like that their is a herd of animals under the hood. So I took two bungee cords and hook them underneath the frame wear the FEL subframe bolts onto then put it up and over and hooked it the same on the other side. And now, no more rattle when it idles and it has a nice soft shut down just like a big farm tractor. Me and my father are getting the FEL very soon and we are gonna use it for plowing this winter along with our 5' rear blade. I have gardens in the spring to tear up with it to so I have plenty of work to do with it for the next few months. In the winter I use diesel 911, and i plug it into the block heater, those to things will ensure the life of your tractor during the cold winter months. Doing those two things last winter, the tractor started right up even in -30 degree weather after being underneath a tarp for the whole night. "

"I love that little machine. When ever I have needed it, or when ever my father has needed it, it has been there for us even when it was -30 degrees. As long as the tractor is plugged into the block heater and after glow plugging it for about a minute even in the -30 weather it started right up. During the winter it sits underneath a tarp behind our house and it is just the greatest first Kubota tractor that me and my father have ever owned. We have a 60" MMM for it and that thing mows like a beauty. When I did the 50 hour full service on the tractor I also loved how easy it was to service it but I learned from my mistake and I'm never working on the tractor in cold weather again."

"So far, the Kubota BX 2370 has done everything I have asked it to do. I have pulled up small trees (up to 3 inches) with little problem. The tractor runs out of traction even in 4 wheel drive before it runs out of power. The 23 HP engine seems to work effortlessly. I have the 60" mowing deck and it cuts okay, but not as well as my riding mower, but still I am pleased with the cut. Deck removal is simple. However, some videos show that you don't need to change the small wheels on the deck and it will slide out very easy. I tried that the first time I removed the deck and found that it was very hard to slide the deck from under the tractor. I now change the rotation of the wheel 90 degrees and roll the deck from under the tractor and find that very easy to do. The deck weights 250# and for me, that is a lot of weight to move around. The FEL will pick up a full load of 60/40 sand in the bucket very easy. I carry the load low as I can see where it would very to tip the tractor over if carried at the max height. I have not put any ballast in the rear tires yet. Have not needed too. If I decide to put water or other type ballast in the tires, I am going to put tubes in the tires and then water in the tubes. I think this will help with corrosion on the steel wheels. Overall, I am very pleased with the performance of the small tractor. "

"My first Kubota, which I still have, is an L3130. It was used to clear 25 acres of woods and brush in Georgia. I abused this machine, asking of it much more than it was intended for. It never broke. It's dented and beat, but mechanically it still functions as new. I moved to a smaller place in the mountains of Tennessee. The 3130 again bush hogged heavy brush, pushed over trees, and drug heavy cut timber out of my hollow. But it's just too big for the property now that I've got it improved. I needed a smaller tractor with a finish mower. After my first Kubota, I never thought about buying another brand. I shopped hard before deciding on my BX2370. The final decision was based on the steep slopes and my fear of turning a larger tractor over. I was apprehensive, but my dealer told me it was enough tractor to do what I needed. He was right. It will cut high grass and small brush without a burp with it 60" mower. The FEL, while small, has enough break out power to lift the tractor and definitely fill the bucket. Bottom line: On a smaller piece of property with tight spaces I've been able to do more with the BX2370 than I can with the larger tractor. It handles quite easily, has a tight turning radius, climbs steep slopes without complaining, and cuts on slopes that terrified me or I just plain couldn't do with the larger tractor. Before I bought it, I thought it might be an overgrown lawn tractor. Now my impression is it's an under-grown full-sized tractor. I've got a couple of more projects for the bigger tractor, then it's up for sale. The BX2370 seems great for smaller pieces of property. I never had a repair with the 3130 and don't expect any with this smaller tractor."

Powerful Subcompact Tractor

"I've only had my new BX2370 for two weeks, with just a dozen hours on it, and replaces a Cub Cadet 1050 lawn tractor for my 1.5 acre property. I'm totally impressed by the tractor's power, and the effortless and precise steering. I've serious issues with shoulder pain, and the power steering is a delight! Though it has a theoretically wider turn radius than my lawn tractor, the longer wheelbase and geometry of the wider mid-mounted deck permits me to weave precisely around flower beds, and a much smaller diameter circle around trees. The FEL is extremely easy to remove and remount (follow directions to the letter, and you'll have no issues!), and the mower deck, likewise. My wife enjoys using the tractor, and her first remark on trying it was how light on it's feet it was. The rear tires have been loaded with Caliber brand tire ballast, which actually improves the driving experience, while anchoring power to the FEL. Although the on-line specs had the ROPS overall height exceeding my barn door, I am actually good to go, with over an inch to spare, possibly due to the ballasting. The standard mower deck cuts and discharges beautifully, even at 2,500 RPM, and distributes clippings much better than my old Cub Cadet mulching mower. I will never again own a mulching mower, due to its tendency to harbor a compacted, almost cemented mass under the deck, that accumulates very quickly with healthy grass. I am most impressed by its extremely light fuel consumption. After a full 10.5 hours of use, I filled it to the top with just 4.2 gallons. The fuel gauge on mine is very precise, contrary to report of one reviewer. I've had few occasions where I required more power than it delivered at my usual working RPM of 2500, which I'm using as max during break-in. The machine reeks of power, even at idle. I concur with one reviewer that it's rear hitch plate is rather useless, but given the fact that any number of 3-point hitches can be purchased that will actually perform better for pulling carts, it's a rather non-issue. For those who desire to use the mounting plate, I suggest a nice Reese-style hitch receiver that can be simply mounted via a flat plate and four bolts, and is available for less than $90.00 or can be made in ten minutes by any welder from a $30.00 receiver and 4x4" plate steel. The power of the machine is absolutely awesome, lacking nothing. The 4WD and turf tires cannot be beat for over-all use, in my estimation. They float well on sand, and have fabulous traction on grass, while they are universally considered tops for snow, performing like the best off-road tires. While they might be less than ideal for strictly gardening use, plowing, and pulling implements in heavy muck, I would not hesitate to recommend turf tires for most uses around the house. As for the engine, it's magnificent! I've heard lots of diesels, but this one has that wonderful start-up sound reminiscent of a WWII PT boat, that makes 23 HP sound like something---"Kathrummmm!". Any engine that sounds that classy has to be great. Controls are superb. I really like the forward-reverse pedals, mounted just as they are, forward and back. Very logical, and extremely easy to adapt to. The re-positioning of the brake pedal to the left for this year, and the higher steering position is just right. The seat has very good travel, and the seat-back adjusts for any angle, even forward of vertical, for those who tend to lean forward, and need support. Back support and armrests make life atop the machine very nice. I'm 6-3" and my wife is 5-1", and we each find the entire setup extremely comfortable. The machine is extremely well-built. I know machinery, and this is certainly above-par compared to anything else in its class... no, nothing is in its class! The front axle is fabulously hardy, and all chassis assemblies are heavily welded of extremely strong and heavily dimensioned steel. Those requiring the three point hitch, take note that it's a full category I rated hitch, as compared with Deere's Limited Cat. I. Though subcompact in size, this is a real, working tractor, designed for serious use, and not an upgraded lawn tractor sporting plastic fenders and a substandard 3-pt hitch that's far overpriced, with someone else's Yanmar engine under the plastic hood. As far as value is concerned, my investigation of the Kubota BX2370 compared to machines of similar size, revealed a machine that's far more substantial, and at a much lower price point. In fact, after the current 0% financing, combined with a $1,500.00 Kubota rebate, my machine with 60" deck and front end loader, and ballasted rear tires, came to just $13,900, with free delivery from 80 miles distant. I was totally unimpressed with the Deere offering that came to $21,000, complete with empty tires, plastic fenders and hood, and what I perceive to be a rapidly-shrinking consumer interest in the color green for what they deliver these days.

"I purchased third tractor with a front loader and a scraper blade from Coia implement sales in Ravenna, Ohio. I cannot say enough good about the quality of service and meticulous instruction on the proper maintenance and care of my new tractor. Coias is a first rate dealer. As for the tractor, it is a great machine. I do not have a lot of time on it yet, but it has plenty of power and functions flawlessly. The front loader has plenty of power and will lift a full bucket of wet dirt with no problems. Has awesome four wheel drive with differential lock and when in low range it has more power than I will ever need. I compared it to a similar John Deere and the Kubota has several options that the Deere does not. The main reason for me was that the front axle on the Kubota is rated at 450 pounds more capacity than the 23 hp John Deere and since I will be using the loader a lot this was what sealed the deal for me. I have no regrets it's a great machine."

"I use the 2370 primarily for landscape maintenance around the homestead of the farm---mowing with the 60" MMM, small-cart hauling, and running a small PTO-driven chipper/shredder. Good turn radius for a sub-compact, excellent traction on hills (thing's practically a mountain goat), and very handy for smaller jobs. Even good for maintaining fence rows and hedgerows. MMM is easy to detach/re-install. Three issues any potential buyer should know: The throttle lever on mine did not hold position from the start (less than an hour after delivery). Called the dealer and he said to just tighten it. It loosens up after a very short time. I installed a flared nut and lock washer, and got a thin-profile linkage wrench to tighten, but it still works loose every 4 hours or so. There is a hydraulic-system cooling fan on the underside of the chassis that is made of plastic and is not very well protected and is even less easy to replace (the machine has to be disassembled to get to the fan). Even with the mower deck installed, the fan is vulnerable to breakage from sticks and etc. Those looking to use it as a true utility tractor should invest in a skid plate as insurance (shame on Kubota for not protecting that fan better and/or making replacing a broken fan so difficult and expensive). The "draw bar" is just a typical plate up under the rear-end, and as such is both hard to reach and too far forward to allow for reasonable turning. The factory hitch plate is essentially useless for real equipment such as trailers, carts, etc. I bought a hefty aftermarket receiver hitch that fixed the problem, but Kubota should include something usable at purchase. The machine tends to overheat rather quickly in tough mowing conditions (tall grass, heavy thatch, etc.), even in mild temperatures. Kubota should put in a better radiator and cooling system, especially given the price-tag for such a tractor. Overall, I am satisfied with the BX2370, but think it requires quite a bit more tinkering and TLC than a brand-new Kubota tractor should. The hydro-fan vulnerability is a very serious issue, to the level of being recall-worthy."
