"The first few months were incredible, and then the repair bills started. First was the steering. It still wanders after $1,500 in repairs. All of the plastic is busted or cracked. The screw downs for the hood cracked off. Now the hood just kind of floats around. The lenses fell off the headlights. The tires are a joke. Even the emblem fell off the hood. And there was that little plastic fan on the driveline. It has been a nub for at least 8 years. "

"I've had this little tractor since the summer of 2013. It's been very reliable, lots of power for it's size (it is a small tractor). Great on fuel. Loader and mid mont mower are great options. Got a used snowblower this year but haven't tried that yet. Great little tractor for a small property like mine."

"For the most part, it's been one thing after another and all of them have been expensive "repairs". Dealer botched a regular service visit. Tractor returned to me with hydraulic fluid shooting out the back of it. Naturally, I wasn't happy. Next thing I know, I get it back and it starts cutting out. Take it back and $600 later the tech 'finds' a beetle in the fuel line. Steering went out. $1,500 and one year it is out again. And don't even get me started on the cheap, crappy front tires that won't stay inflated so they pop of the rims - and are pretty much a dealer item. Overall, Kubota builds one helluva sub-compact. The problem is too many weak links in the chain that keeps the cash rolling Kubota's way."

"This is the best tractor I have ever owned. Previous tractor was a Kubota B5100E which was a good tractor I purchased used and was in great shape but old. This BX1850 has exceeded all expectations and then some. Handles the Land Pride 54" tiller really well and the mower deck is outstanding."

"My wife came home with the tractor. The tractor has been great to us we use it for hauling wood cutting grass and plowing snow. Of course it gets used for dirt work too. The only down side of the little tractors is once in a while you want to pick up something heaver that what you should. But living in the city this is more then enough tractor 98% of the time. The only performance fault i have found is when in high range and backing up the tractor stop way to hard. On hills you can pull the front tires off the ground. It has done this sense new it went into the dealer they made some adjustments that did not really help much and they told me it is what it is. Most of the time i am doing all my work in low range anyway so i have been working around it. "

"Has the power and 4WD to mow hills."

"Overall, this little beast has done extraordinarily well. Between the bucket, the box scraper, and the mower---clearing weeds and brush have been little problem. It has endured some harsh mishaps with nary a wince. That said, the plastic body looks pretty - but just doesn't hold up. By year 5, the lock downs under the hood had completely degraded (engine heat?) and were broken. The rear tail-lights not only extend beyond the rear wheels but also have zero protection. Hence, a reverse glance against a tree yields a trashed lens and also cracked body. I have quit using the dealerships for service as I have had new problems suddenly crop up every time. I've been stung pretty hard on a couple of occasions - and now reason it would probably cost less to make my own mistakes."

"Just purchased used with 141 hrs. 48" belly mower, standard features. Excellent condition, had to be stored in heated garage. Will let you know more as I use tractor."

"So when we moved from two and a half acres to six acres we decided that our John Deere LX277 just wasn't cutting it. After a year or two we started looking around for a tractor that would mow much faster then our previous mower and have a loader for numerous landscaping projects. We started by looking at larger tractors but realized that they would be much too big, and then we found the BX1850. At first we thought the 18hp diesel would have not enough power for a sub compact tractor. But after we learned that a diesel has more torque and 30% better fuel economy then a gas engine we were all in. The BX is a great tractor, so far we have used it for spreading mulch and removing clay soil. It also mows very well. Very happy with our purchase."

"Does everything I have ask it to do and adding new attachments (home made) almost monthly."
