    BX23S/BT603 Bracket failure

    The delivery and pick up fee is something I anticipated. I think there’s even a sticker on the tractor that says it’s not included in the warranty. 6 to 8 weeks is not 2 to 3 months although it is a long time. Changing the dipper shouldn’t take over about two hours especially since the backhoe...

    BX23S/BT603 Bracket failure

    So, what I know is this. They are picking up the Backhoe this afternoon. I am keeping the tractor and loader so I can continue my yard work. They won't order the parts until they have the BH in their possession. They are saying 6-8 weeks due to busy shop at this time. They will not let me change...

    ***UPDATE*** My dealer just sent me the following copy and paste from an email I got this morning. “We have received word that kubota will replace the dipper boom and some bushings. I will need to know if you can bring in the unit or if I will need to schedule a pick up/delivery. If we pick up...

    BX23S/BT603 Bracket failure

    The tractor has no modifications white so ever. I change the engine oil and filter and the hydraulic filter at 50 hours and have greased it three times. It has plenty of power for me.

    BX23S/BT603 Bracket failure

    no noises. I greased the whole machine before I started using it. Dealers don’t be a very good job getting a tractor ready for service.

    BX23S/BT603 Bracket failure

    The hydraulic pressure is adjustable. So if my tractor is not correctly adjusted then that does not make it a widespread problem. Also, there are others out there with the same problem as is evident on the Facebook Kubota BX 80 series page. I have photos uploaded by other Facebook users showing...

    BX23S/BT603 Bracket failure

    I will let you know what happens. I still think it is a issue of hydraulic power exceeding the design strength.

    BX23S/BT603 Bracket failure

    I contacted my dealer who said he’s never heard of a problem like this before. I sent him all the photos that I have posted in this thread and also photos of the serial number plate and the hourmeter as requested. He says he sent all of this information to Kubota’s dealer support unit who will...

    BX23S/BT603 Bracket failure

    The main pivot pin is not as accessible as the cylinder pin and is more difficult to check. It looks fine but that doesn't mean its not damaged. I have received a photo from another Kubota owner who seems to have the same issue. (See Photo) I guess its easy to say now, but compared to the rest...

The majority of those hours has been spent planting trees but I have dug up some small pine and cedar stumps. i’m seeing a bracket slowly failing and it now appears to be about 1/4 inch out a place and the cylinder pin is in a bind. people want to accuse...
