What's the factory pressure range for the BX? I'm genuinely interested so not trying to cause trouble.
How does the casual tractor user interpret
@Mrlunchbox's statement that Kubota sells shim kits, and the fact that kits are available from non-Kubota sources which make some dramatic claims re lift capacity? Is the thought process that the former makes the latter seem reasonable or acceptable? Most successful scams work because there appear to be reasonable or plausible benefits for little in the way of input. Surely Kubota doesn't intend for customers to raise the pressure above the factory specs, and don't sell shim kits for that reason.
I've never had an interest in getting more lift capacity with any of the four Kubotas I've owned but it's good to have a discussion for those that are interested. This forum is a good resource for many so it's a positive that we can talk about this and perhaps provide clarity so that others can make a well thought out and reasoned choice rather than defer to the sales pitch of those whose only intent is to make money.
There are plenty of snake oil merchants out there in every walk of life, just look at the supplement industry for example, and they have no interest or concern about the physical, emotional or financial welfare of the customer. For me, this is where a well-engineered product shines. It's my opinion that Kubota looks out for the customer and they feel responsible and accountable, and are interested in a lifelong relationship and customer loyalty. They make mistakes just like everyone else, but overall they have honorable intentions. If you know anything about the Japanese culture you'll be aware of their honor-based approach to just about every aspect of life.
