    Rear Blades - Is Blade Tilt Important?

    I just got done cleaning 8" of wet heavy snow. Dam I love my back blade! I just have a cheap county line but it does all I need! No pavement here all gravel. I actually push the blade backwards when I plow on gravel. It works great! When I think back to before I had the the tractor and all I had...

    B2601 Delivered with no transmission oil

    Yeah that's not empty for sure. Theres a few gallons in there! If it shows on the end of the dipstick it probably will only take 1 or 2 oz to fill it. Maybe less. Take longer to get the cap off the bottle than to fill it. The longer you warm up the hydraulics the less the whine will be, but...

    Any luck plugging tires?

    I just didnt trust that plug. Don't want to get caught with my pants down if you know what I mean! I did some research on this product and went and got some at the dealer. About $19 with tax for the 32 oz bottle. That's enough to do one front tire on the BX. The rears would need two 32 oz...

    Knee replacements and MMM

    Both hips and shoulder replaced here! I use the long T handle. It slides pretty good on the concrete garage floor. I still have to get on my hands and knees to line everything up. Lay on my back to hook up the drive shaft! I have a 4" thick soft kneeler I use when down on all fours! My knees...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    PaPow you said your tires are loaded. Do you drain them before using the backhoe? I swore I saw in my manual not to have tires loaded with the backhoe on? I would like to ad a little weight to my BX23S in winter with my back blade on.

    New BX Owner and 1st Cold Start

    Mine is kept in an unheated garage in the winter and teens are usually about the lowest it gets here. I just give it a 6 count and it fires right up! Idle up a tad and I do let it warm up a good 15 minutes or so depending on weather before I get to work.

    fluid change

    You should check your owners manual but im sure it gets changed every few hundred hours. My little BX is every 400 hours after the 50 hour service.

    Operating Compact Tractors on Public Roads

    All I can offer to this thread is be careful. Everyones in a hurry, some people will go out of their way to give you lots of room while passing yet the spiteful road ragers will come as close as possible to you as if to say get off the ------- road! Ive almost been killed on my road plowing and...

    What are you using to clean up after oil change

    Don't wipe brake clean on your orange paint. You might not notice at first by looking at the paint but your shop towel will be orange.

    Any luck plugging tires?

    Well I just walked into the garage today and noticed what looked like a paper clip sticking in my BX23S front tire. I gave it a tug and it came right out but I heard the hiss as soon as I did. It wasn't in far at all. It was in the center of the tire but not in the lug. That that smooth part...

    My Kubota bx winch setup

    Good question. Kind of worthless if you cant drop the bucket down all the way. The video doesn't show the bucket down.

    Quality Control Problems with BX Series?

    Lots of talk about leaks and no leaks on the quick coupler! I wonder if the machines that leaked at the quick coupler had the hydraulic pressure increased over speck? I bought the shims and gage. Mine was in speck so I didn't try to increase it. If it drops some over the years Ill throw a shim...
