I know this has been beat to death..One of my front tires on my BX2680 has been leaking air sick of putting air in it.. So I thought I would try and find it and put another plug in. Well I sprayed it down with some soap water and found about four different leaks just on the top up tire with out rolling it.

Question is where do you guys get your tires from I want a good set thats not going to give me problems.

Oh I forgot I'm looking for a turf tire style

When I got my BX ( 60) series I complained to the stealer, they gave me a jug of slime and told me use it because for some reason all BX front tires seem to leak. I slimed tham and havent had an issue since

All tires are subject to leaks cheap or expensive. If your leaks were punctures as opposed to the bead leaking you must be running something over causing the punctures. Kubota branded sealer is a water soluble tire sealant which you add to the tire (Oz's vary by tire size). As soon as the puncture is made its sealed immediately. I wish I could find the video.
If your bead is leaking then checking tire pressure before doing heavy FEL work is a must. Ive never had tire problems on the BX23S in 500 hours except for a puncture. Its seen lots of full bucket FEL work with dirt and gravel.

Had both front tires leak on my new BX. Put Slime in and it didn't work. Used the Kubota branded sealer two years ago and have not had an issue since.

Strange I thought this problem was resolved on the 80 series tractors.
