Kubota Tractor Corporation expanded operations with the introduction of its new BX80-Series of sub-compact diesel tractors at the company’s Annual Dealer Meeting in its soon-to-be new hometown of Grapevine, Texas.

The all-new BX80-Series includes four new tractor models: BX1880, BX2380, BX2680, and BX23S, which leads the sub-compact tractor class with a standard-equipped front loader and backhoe unit. Combining Kubota reliability and power with unmatched versatility and intuitive, easy-to-operate design, the BX80-Series is ideal for residential property owners, company officials said.

“Kubota is the market leader in the sub-compact industry since we pioneered the category in 2000 with the introduction of our original BX-Series. We’ve taken this experience and existing customer feedback to enhance performance and ease-of-use with this exciting new BX80-Series,” said Robert Cockroft, Kubota sub-compact and compact tractor product manager. “Whether it’s mowing, landscaping or blowing snow, the do-it-all BX-Series makes outdoor chores enjoyable year-round – it’s the perfect choice for first-time tractor buyers, and is sure to be the sharpest looking tool in your garage.”

The BX1880, BX2380 and the BX2680 are equipped with a rollover protection system, which now conveniently fits through most standard 7-ft high garage door openings. The BX1880, BX2380 and BX2680 deliver 18-, 23-, and 25.5-horsepower, respectively. The new BX80-Series makes it easier than ever to attach the complete line of tools and implements. The LA344 Swift-Tach loader, offered for the BX1880, BX2380 and BX2680, and the LA340 Swift-Tach loader for the BX23S, can be removed or attached without the operator leaving the operator’s station.
