I realize this is an OLD post but... thought I might include some info for anyone looking at a used BX2230.<br>
I started out with a BX1500, I was just looking for a GOOD, HEAVY DUTY mower for my 3 acres, got sick and tired of repairing my old riding mower. <br>
I got a "box scraper" with my BX1500 and figured it might move some loose gravel on my driveway and one day I put the teeth down and ripped the heck out of some hard ground, I was so shocked how much power and torque it had! I thought I should try a FEL just because of all the things I needed to do and having a bad back I figured it might pick up tiny loose items and would be very cool. Once again, SHOCKED! I have ran heavy equipment and owned a construction rental store so I know equiment and this thing just kept surprising me! We have a real problem with grass stickers, they are just everywhere so I decided to get a Kubota PTO bagger. As usual with Kubota it was much more heavy duty and larger than what I was expecting. The bagger really takes some snort to pull, yes this is a REAL bagger with a blower and everything! My BX1500 would pull it very well except on my hills and then it would really smoke and start to pull down a little, I didn't want to push my tractor to the limiit (and wanted a fuel gauge) so I upgraded to the BX2350. I had to use the 54" belley mower to get it into my shed :-( but it pulls ALL my attachments with real ease! The 3 cylinder is much smoother than the 2 cylinder BX1500 but uses lots more fuel (still not much). The tires are all bigger and that helps with the loader. This is the 5th year I have had it and have around 500 hours on it, average 100 per year. It movers so much more snow than I ever imagined it could and does everything so much better that I ever expected. 4 year of payments are behind me now and after I switched to synthetic Rotella it starts in below zero temps, doesn't like to start but it had never failed me yet. I always use off road diesel with additive and I have never had one problem with my tractor, my wife does about half the mowing and the power steering is great. I became disabled from a ATV accident and now the loader is even more important than ever. Can't say enought good things about my BX2350 (or BX1500 too)just remember IT'S A SUBCOMPACT TRACTOR! I have seen people complaining about tipping and other problems but it's a small (tiny actually) and in that context I can't help but see how you would be impressed with a Kubota BX2350. Hope this helps someone.<br>

SORRY I changed it but I keep thinking my tractor is a 2350 for some reason??
