The BX Series Lineup: Which Model Is Right for You

The BX Series includes four models that share the same easy-to-operate platform with progressively more horsepower and loader capacity as the property demands grow. All four models come standard with 4WD, a hydrostatic transmission, and a Kubota-matched front loader. Here's how they differ:

BX1880

18.0 Gross HP

The entry-level BX. Right-sized for smaller Arizona lots and acreage up to 3-4 acres. Ideal for first-time buyers, rentals, and light-duty property tasks. Pairs with the LA344 front loader.

BX2380

21.6 Gross HP

The most popular BX for Arizona estate owners managing 4-6 acres. More loader lift capacity and PTO power for mid-size implements. Pairs with the LA344 front loader.

BX2680

24.8 Gross HP

More power for loader-intensive work and larger 3-point implements. A strong choice for Arizona landscapers and property managers handling grading, tilling, and material moving. Pairs with the LA534 front loader.

BX23S

21.6 Gross HP

The BX23S includes a factory-mounted backhoe (BT603) and front loader (LA344) as a complete package. Built for Arizona contractors and estate owners who need digging capability alongside loader and mowing work.

Built for Real Property Work in Arizona

The BX Series is engineered for implement versatility. Every model runs a full-size mid-mount mower deck for property mowing, a Kubota-matched front loader for moving material, and a category 1 three-point hitch for rear implements including tillers, box blades, landscape rakes, and more. A rear PTO and mid PTO power both rear and mid-mount implements simultaneously, so you can run a mower deck and a rear attachment at the same time.

For Arizona estate owners managing desert landscaping, horse properties, and irrigated acreage from Tucson to the White Mountains, the BX handles the full property task list: mow the pasture, move a load of rock, till a garden bed, dig post holes for the next fence section. All with one machine, without calling in a separate contractor for each task.

Kubota-matched front loader engineered specifically for each BX model. No aftermarket fitment issues.
Category 1 three-point hitch accepts the full range of standard rear implements: box blades, tillers, landscape rakes, spreaders, and more
Mid and rear PTO lets you run a mid-mount mower deck and a rear implement simultaneously
Swift-connect backhoe on the BX23S mounts and dismounts in minutes without hand tools
Two-range transmission with cruise control for steady-speed mowing across large Arizona properties
Steel fenders and hood for durability in Arizona's sun, caliche dust, and desert brush environments

Easy Enough for a First-Time Tractor Owner

One reason the BX Series is consistently the first tractor many Arizona buyers choose is the operator experience. The hydrostatic transmission removes the clutch and gear selection from the learning curve entirely. Push one pedal to go forward, the other to reverse. Speed is proportional to pedal position. Most new operators are productive within an hour of getting on the machine.

Hydrostatic Transmission (HST)

No clutch, no gear shifting. Pedal-controlled speed in both directions makes the BX approachable for first-time tractor owners and efficient for experienced operators on varied terrain.

Cruise Control

Set a steady mowing speed and hold it without keeping constant pedal pressure. Particularly useful when mowing large Arizona estates where consistent ground speed improves cut quality.

Low-Profile ROPS

The fold-down ROPS frame lets you store the BX in a standard 7-foot garage or barn without removing any components. Important for Arizona estate owners with existing covered storage.

Switch-Tach Loader Control

Loader valve control integrated into the instrument panel. Clean, intuitive layout that keeps your hands where they belong and reduces operator fatigue on long loader sessions.

Good Visibility

The BX platform is designed for clear sightlines to the loader bucket, mower deck, and rear hitch. You can see what you're doing without constantly leaving the seat to check implement position.

4WD Standard

All BX models come with 4-wheel drive as standard equipment. Essential for Arizona terrain: loose caliche soil, desert wash crossings, sloped property edges, and rocky hillside lots.

Kubota Diesel Engine: Built for Arizona Heat

Every BX is powered by a Kubota-built diesel engine matched to the machine's hydraulic system, transmission, and implements. Kubota engineering the engine, loader, and tractor together means the hydraulic flow and power delivery are calibrated for each other, not assembled from separate suppliers. In Arizona summer heat, a properly matched system runs cooler and more efficiently than a mismatched aftermarket combination.

Kubota diesel engines are known for long service intervals and low cost-per-hour operation. For Arizona estate owners running a BX 200-plus hours a year through mowing season, the lower maintenance frequency and fuel efficiency of the diesel engine add up over the ownership period.

Performance Matched System

On the BX Series, the engine, transmission, loader, and hydraulic system are all designed and tested together by Kubota. That factory matching is why BX owners consistently report fewer hydraulic issues and more predictable loader performance compared to tractors assembled with sourced components.

Land Pride Attachments: Expand What the BX Can Do

The BX Series is compatible with a wide range of Land Pride implements and attachments for the three-point hitch and mid-mount positions. For Arizona property owners, common combinations include box blades for road and driveway grading, landscape rakes for clearing desert debris and rock, rotary tillers for garden and orchard work, and post hole diggers for fence line installation. The video below shows how Land Pride implements work with the BX platform:

The BX23S is the BX Series model built for buyers who need digging capability alongside loader and mowing work. Where the other BX models require a separate backhoe attachment purchase and installation, the BX23S comes from the factory with three tools already matched and mounted: the LA344 front loader, the BT603 backhoe, and a mid-mount mower deck option. For Arizona contractors, horse property owners, and estate managers who regularly dig irrigation lines, drainage trenches, or post holes, the BX23S eliminates the extra steps of buying, mounting, and storing a separate backhoe attachment.

Swift-Connect Backhoe

The BT603 backhoe on the BX23S mounts and dismounts without hand tools using Kubota's swift-connect system. When you need the backhoe, it attaches in minutes from the tractor seat. When you're done digging and want to run the loader and mower only, it comes off just as fast and stores in a small footprint. For Arizona contractors moving between properties who don't want to leave a backhoe sitting on a job site, this is a meaningful practical advantage.

Who the BX23S Is Right For in Arizona

The BX23S makes the most sense for Arizona buyers who have a consistent need to dig on their property or job sites. Common use cases include irrigation line installation and repair in the desert communities, drainage trench work on horse properties and estates, post hole digging for fencing across ranch and farm land, and footing excavation for small outbuildings and landscape structures. If you find yourself renting a mini excavator or hiring a contractor for these tasks a few times a year, the BX23S pays for that capability in the purchase price and gives you the loader and mowing tools on top of it.

BX23S vs. Adding a Backhoe to Another BX Model

You can add a compatible backhoe to the BX2380 or BX2680 as a separate attachment purchase. The BX23S bundles the factory-matched BT603, LA344 loader, and the tractor together as a verified package. If backhoe work is a regular part of your operation and not just occasional, the factory-integrated BX23S is typically the cleaner and more reliable choice. Ask our team at any Bingham Equipment Arizona location to compare both options for your specific use case.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Kubota BX Series and who is it built for?

The Kubota BX Series is a lineup of sub-compact tractors ranging from 18 to 25.5 gross horsepower. They are built for property owners and professionals managing 3 to 10 acres who need one machine that can mow, load, dig, till, and grade. In Arizona, the typical BX buyer is a first-time tractor owner on an estate or horse property, a landscaper maintaining residential accounts, or a small farm operator in the Yuma Valley or White Mountains. The BX is specifically designed to be approachable for first-time buyers while still delivering the capability professionals depend on.

Which BX model is right for my Arizona property?

For most Arizona estate and hobby farm properties under 5 acres, the BX2380 (21.6 HP) is the most popular choice. It handles a 54 or 60-inch mid-mount mower, a front loader for rock and material moving, and common rear implements like box blades and tillers. If you have more than 5 acres, do significant grading or loader work, or plan to run larger implements, the BX2680 (24.8 HP) with the larger LA534 loader is worth the step up. If you need a backhoe for digging irrigation lines, footings, or drainage on your property, the BX23S comes with a factory-installed BT603 backhoe and is a complete package. Come into any Bingham Equipment Arizona location and we can walk you through which model matches your specific needs.

Can the BX handle Arizona's rocky desert soil and caliche?

Yes, with the right implements. For caliche and compacted desert soil, a box blade or rear blade works well for surface grading, while a tiller or subsoiler can break up harder layers for garden and landscaping prep. The BX23S backhoe attachment is the most effective option for digging through hard caliche for irrigation lines, post holes, and drainage. The standard 4WD keeps the tractor stable on loose or uneven desert terrain. For specific recommendations on implement selection for Arizona soil conditions, our team at any Bingham Equipment location can help.

Is the BX Series easy to operate if I've never driven a tractor before?

Yes. The hydrostatic transmission is the main reason first-time buyers find the BX approachable. There's no clutch to learn and no gear shifting. You control speed with two pedals: push the right pedal to go forward, the left to reverse. Speed is proportional to how far you press the pedal. Most new operators are comfortable with basic mowing and loader work within a couple of hours. Bingham Equipment provides a walk-through of the machine at delivery, and our team is available at any Arizona location to answer questions as you get familiar with your BX.

Can I mow and use a rear implement at the same time?

Yes. The BX Series has both a mid PTO (for the mid-mount mower deck) and a rear PTO (for three-point implements). Both can run simultaneously. In practice, most operators mow with the mid-deck and pull a landscape rake or rear blade at the same time to finish a pass in one shot. This is one of the BX's biggest productivity advantages on larger Arizona properties where minimizing the number of passes across the property saves time.

How does the BX handle Arizona summer heat?

The Kubota diesel engine in the BX Series is designed for reliable operation across a wide temperature range. The performance-matched hydraulic system runs more efficiently than aftermarket combinations because it was designed for the engine's output from the start, which reduces heat buildup under load. For operators working through Phoenix or Yuma summer heat, early morning work hours are the most productive. Keeping the air filter and radiator fins clean of caliche dust and desert debris is the most important summer maintenance step for any BX operating in Arizona conditions.

Does Bingham Equipment offer service and maintenance for the BX Series?

Yes. Bingham Equipment has certified Kubota technicians who handle all BX Series maintenance and repairs, both in the shop and in the field at your property. We service what we sell across all Arizona locations, including Lakeside, Tucson, the Phoenix area, and Yuma. Scheduled maintenance, warranty work, and repairs are all available. If your BX needs attention during a critical work period, our field service team can come to your property rather than requiring you to trailer the machine in.

Will my BX Series tractor fit in my existing garage or barn?

Most likely yes. The BX Series features a fold-down ROPS (roll-over protection structure) that lowers the overall height to fit through standard 7-foot garage and barn door openings without removing any components. The BX is also compact enough in width and length to store in a single-car garage space. If you have specific storage height or width constraints, bring the dimensions to any Bingham Equipment location and we can confirm fitment for the specific model you're considering.

Is the Kubota BX Series compatible with KubotaNOW telematics?

The BX Series is a sub-compact tractor platform primarily oriented toward owner-operators on smaller properties, and KubotaNOW telematics compatibility varies by model year and configuration. Contact your local Bingham Equipment Arizona location to confirm telematics availability for the specific BX model you are considering. For fleet operators or property managers running multiple machines, our team can discuss which Kubota models and telematics options best fit your monitoring needs.
