For something minor like this and the short time since expiration your dealer should go to bat for you with Kubota. Your not asking for an engine rebuild Not everyone uses these everyday and weeks could go by in between. If they didn't make it right for me it would make me seriously consider...

I would take out the relief bypass valve and inspect it. Really easy to do...google how to shim the releif valve to increase pressure and you'll see what to take out...Sounds like once it goes into by pass its being held open until all the pressure is relieved.

Take some good pics of yours for refernece and then go look at one at a dealer. See whats different. Should be able to figure it out.

Hows the fuel flow from the tank...may want to blow back into the tank to make sure thats clear. JG

For my BX25D it was a 1/4-28 tapered on the loader. Thanks

I tend to think yours is normal. I use mine in Low 90% of the time, i never had an issue where it struggled in low but it is slow, especially in reverse but never felt like it would run out of power. Might try a filter fluid change if you haven't already. JG

Some of the posts on Power service had me double check what i added...dosage varies a bit depending on what size bottle you buy and it doubles below 0 degrees....for their website. 16-OUNCE (PART NO. 1016) At temperatures above 0°F., add entire contents (16 ounces) to 40 gallons of diesel fuel...

I think you'll be fine. I just did the same thing. I had about 3/4 tank treated with power service silver and just added 1 1/2 ounces of Power Service white and topped off the tank.Below is from the power service website- CAN I USE DIESEL FUEL SUPPLEMENT +CETANE BOOST AND DIESEL KLEEN +CETANE...

Haha, Been there done that. I rebuilt a perfectly good carb because of those damn switch's!

Yep no harm in the PS white all year round. I think most do run the grey in summer and switch to white in the winter though. The grey has more Cetane boosters and detergent then the white which is used mainly for its gel prevention in the cold.Both provide extra lubrication. JG

I think what you describe is normal. On mine with the bucket flat and level, curling it down won't lift the tractor. But, if you raise the bucket and curl it down and then lower the bucket it will easily raise the front end off the ground. Give that a try... Thanks JG

I feel your pain....only our government can screw up something as simple as a fuel can. Google "gas can spout", you can buy an old school spout and add a vent. Works just like the old cans. JG

I'm not familiar with that machine but i'm sure it has a fuel filter close to the tank, id pull it apart there and drain and flush the tank a bit with diesel. Replace with a new filter and fresh diesel and i think you'd be fine since it wasn't started. Good luck. JG

Yeah good point you probably got about 70% out...could fill with water run it for a while again and then just add a bit stronger mix.

I was hoping this would be one place to drain all the fluid because on mine its pretty easy to get at, but on closer look it won't drain the radiater completely so i'm gonna just pull the lower hose and leave this alone. I don't need to do a thorough flush so whats left in the block won't be an...
