Kubota BX Mid Mount Belly Mower Torture Test - Will it mow 3 Foot Tall Fields? - Tuesday Tractor Tip 

Those tractors are absolute tanks for their size. I haven't heard anyone complain about power or functionality of those tractors. Great video!

The BX is a good mower! I’ve cut some thick tall stuff myself and it’s impressed me. I usually take a bungee and tie up my flap so it discharges the grass better. Beautiful place around the pond! Enjoyed hearing about your son’s work ethic! Take care!

Looks like it did a fine job. You point out what I think too many people don't understand, which is that often speed and not lack of power is what makes for an inadequate cut....particularly when cutting with a "fast" ZTR! Nice job Lucas. 👍😎👍

Good work, Lucas and the BX did a good job. Yep, slow down and let it cut - that's the secret for any mower really. I run mine of 4 inches because of all the rocks around here. I need to keep picking them up but there are thousands laying around. Thanks for sharing, buddy!

Looks like the ol MMM did a great job. 👍 For some reason I really enjoy mowing. 😉 Those mowers are surprisingly strong and cut well. You have some property there too. Love the pond. Keep up the great work Lucas 👍. Take care and enjoy your week. 👋

I mow my fields with the same MMM and what I find helps is to drill a hole out at the end of the chute, put a cord in it, and pull it up when you get in the thicker stuff. It allows the mower to throw the grass out farther and clogs less. I like it so well I did the same to my zero turn I use for my lawn.

Looks good brother, I cut with a 60inch xmark which in tall grass like you were cutting does surprisingly well but naturally requires a second run to groom it nice, that diesel cuts like a monster with no loss of rpm in the tall stuff, love your pond, God bless!

That was some pretty tall grass! I’m pretty impressed. My 48” king kutter rotary cutter does not do that nice of a job! Great video as usual!

Nice mower!

I agree that looked like it handled the high grass well and having the kids do some of the heavy lifting is ok.

id love to get a belly mower for my tractor but they're pretty expensive. in the mean time I have a 54" Husquvarna and a flail mower for the rough stuff. Love my BX

MMM handled that thick stuff pretty good!! @3:32 I wanted to see you do a little dip and go. Pond looks great....hope you have it all sealed up now. My Stihl FS55T is 19 years old and has only had a drive shaft and a carb or two replaced on it....and I use/abuse it with a brush cutting blade on it!

Looking good bud

Looks like a lot of blade sharpening is in your future, Lucas!😂

Looks like it works really well. I'm wanting to get my hands on a smaller tractor like that soon

Looks like that mower handled that really well. My pasture wasn't nearly as tall, maybe 6-8 inches when I mowed it the other day after getting my mower deck. Tractor did great, I just need to find more yards to mow now that I have this mower LOL. One thing I notice though, the deck lift seems to have quite a delay in raising and lowering compared to the 3 point...the 3 point starts dropping a lot sooner than the deck starts to drop...not sure if that's normal or not. The other thing I notice is the mower doesn't seem to throw the grass clippings very far so I don't think it would take much to plug up the discharge chute of the deck...I figured it would have a much better throwing distance. It has the regular blades on it, which seem to be a medium to high lift blade which should be able to have enough velocity to really kick the clippings out away from the mower, but its just not the case. When I mowed my pasture as a test I didn't take the loader off, but if I use the mower again I may try without the loader and see if there's any handling difference...for an open pasture the loader isn't an issue, but if I tried mowing my yard the whole tractor would be an issue due to the trees and shrubs LOL. I've thought about giving the Kubota a try in the yard but there's so many places I wouldn't be able to get into that it would be more of a waste of time than anything. My back yard wouldn't be nearly as bad so I may try mowing it with the Kubota at some point.

I have an excellent idea. Next time, you can try a flail mower. You buy two of them, one for you and one for me and my L2501, and we can compare results!!!!!! No one has taken me up on this offer yet, wonder why? Lol. Nice video.

I have a riding mower and when cutting grass it turns the mower deck off if you try backing up. I was curious if the Kubota is similar to a riding mower where backing up you need to turn off the deck first or will it run ok if you just back up? Kind of a dumb question I know but just curious so when my mower arrives I don't blow something up by accident.

Speaking from experience, if you put a BX mid mount mower in high dry field grass for any amount of time you will stop up the radiator and run it hot.

Looking good there . I did first mow yesterday on off site project took 3 hrs. If not for MMM would have needed to mow probably 10 days ago with Cub Cadet. Not burning up belts with MMM like Cub Cadet would.

Our 54 inch mower just recently shit the bed so we ended up buying a whole new mower this time we bought a 60inch mower.

Im looking at buying one of these mowers. I have Fruit tree orchard. In your opinion how would this set up work for mowing around 25 trees? I've been using a brush hog but its a real pain. Also how hard is it to remove and reinstall the mower deck? Thanks for any help!

Man put your dust caps on your front hydraulics!

How many acres do you own?

I was on my BX23 for 7 hours yesterday here in country Victoria Australia. Grass was about a foot high in parts. I had to make three passes in places. It is very disappointing. And yes I was going very slow.

Probably should've let that Dutch clover go to seed, eventually it dominates all over all the other grass.

I found when I cutting tall grass as tall as the hood you have to put it in four-wheel-drive and use turtle. If not, it will bog down on you every time.😂😂😂 to hood on my Kabota that if you don’t use four-wheel-drive and put it in the turtle, you won’t make it through there anytime you’re cutting tall grass you want to use four-wheel-drive and turtle or a ball right now😂😂😂

Never will understand why people use glowplugs at warm temperatures

Why on earth would you even think about mowing 3-foot-tall grass or even want too? Simply moronic! The strain you place on the belts/blades/spindles etc. is a recipe for disaster with these little toy tractors.
