Funny thing is you can smell the unburnt fuel in the exhaust of mine all the time, not just when starting cold. I doubt it would pass an emissions test. The mechanic mentioned it could be a bad ecu but Kubota won't approve the almost $2k replacement. Maybe I'll check with the epa to see if...

When I was looking, all the old ones were too big and heavy for a BX. Should have bought it the year before when it was $1000.00 less. Good luck finding one or a flail.

Sounds like you got a good one back when Subaru was making the engines if you got 400 hours with no problems. Sounds like midyear 2023 models are different and I can't find a explanation why. Surprised the mechanic working on mine. I definitely would avoid this machine after my experience and...

I just spoke to the mechanic working on mine and he said they just got a 2023 in and it's a whole different engine. Different intake manifold, different injectors, completely redesigned intake plus they added a cam sensor and different ecu. Guess they know there's a problem and redesigned...

So today's update after over a month in the shop is Don't waste your money on a Sidekick. They were told to replace the injectors for the gas in oil problem and checked the head gaskets along with oil change. The dealer took it to their farm and ran it another 5 hours hard as Kubota said (has...

That is what this is really for. Especially if you're cutting for hay. Lower hp draw then a flail also, but at over $5k with tax it was quite a bit more then a flail.

It is very handy if you have areas that are wet and hard to access with a mower. Just perfect size for a BX

Yes HT 1000 is the specified oil along with the filter changes. First change at 250 hours. I was told it has special additives for the Parker drives. I know nothing about the specs and only use what is recommended in the equipment I buy and only post what is recommended online when someone asks.

My Z726 and I think all 700 series have the Parker HTG14 transmissions and they require Parker OEM oil for the best life and warranty coverage I was told by my dealership. Put anything else in them and it could cost you over 3k a side if there are problems. Good oil is a cheap price to pay with...

My Z726 drives call for the Parker oil that is like 30 bucks a quart. Dealer said for warranty it should be used at the required drain intervals. It is going to be expensive with a couple gallons a side.

I have gone as far as just putting a rope on the trailer brake safety switch cable and pulling that out locking the brakes in an oh Sxxx situation. I use old 25 pound lifting steel weight plates that slide on a 1 inch bar welded in a 2 x 2 receiver hitch bar. Can stack up to 12 for 300 pounds...

I used my loader valve for the tilt cylinder. I don't have a loader on this though so a third function line would be required with a loader. They are also available with a manual tilt that doesn't use hydraulics but that would be a pain to use unless you're doing a big flat hay field.

396 612 are the blades I use on my BX2360 60 inch deck also. Made the deck cut really nice but I get more clumps in wet conditions. I mow with them at 3200 rpm that helps some. Would be nice if the blades turned faster for finer clippings like my new Z726.

Last year I purchased an Enrossi sickle bar mower for my BX and haven't seen another thread about it so I decided to share a video I made about it. A perfect fit for my BX with some weight on the front to keep it down. Really does a nice job around my pond and in wet areas I can't mow weekly...

I did and all I am saying is this is excessive compared to my friends machines in the same usage and conditions. So either there is a problem with my machine or problem with Kubotas engineering as their first response was it is normal for the Sidekick to see large quantities of gas and water in...

Mine doesn't bottom out. The seat cushion has become very hard and uncomfortable probably from UV exposure and my fat butt on it about 800 hours mowing. I should just search for a new bottom cushion and cover.

The thing is I could care less about all this crap Kubota is now saying about having to evaporate oil and water from the engine. I have almost $19k in this machine and now all this is coming to life. The epa is worried about a little evaporation from my 5 gallon gas can but doesn't seem to...

Mine sucks fuel also and the exhaust smells like half of it doesn't get burned. I can ride around for 20 minutes with the grandkids and it only goes up a notch or 2. Don't know how accurate that indicator is though. Basically it has only been run in low gear because the fastest I can get up to...

The engine never gets hot enough to kick the fan in during the summer. Only time I hear it is in the winter when plowing. No temp gauge so I have no idea of the temp even after sitting there idling to warm up. Total piece of garbage to me if this is the case and no mention in the sales...

Stored indoors in a unheated pole barn and I am the only driver. Went in at 26 hours and under 100 miles. Still looks like brand new and hasn't been in any water at all. Was told they are checking the head gasket first but Kubota has said it looks normal condensation and fuel accumulation from...
