It's a candid look at torque versus traction limits on a subcompact, useful for owners wondering how hard they can push a small Kubota on real homestead chores.
An owner-operator using his own BX2380 for actual property work, and he says upfront he'll call out anything the tractor can't do.
Yes, but traction in mud was the limiting factor, not pulling power. Using log rollers under the trunk helped the BX2380 successfully drag out a roughly 24-inch ash trunk.
The tractor nose-dived and dug into the dirt because it lacked traction in wet, muddy ground, and a knot on the trunk kept digging into the hill.
The owner started in four low gear to get torque right away, avoiding high gear to reduce risk of damaging the tractor during the heavy pull.
