I have a bx1800 with 300 hours was running fine. Next day when it was started up the hydraulic filter split. Put on new kabota filter added fluid to correct level, new filter swelled up and split immediately. My guess is a relief valve is stuck. But I'm not sure where it is located. Tractor doesn't have a loader and fluid didn't appear to have any water. Any help is appreciated.

He pointed to the relief valve for the engine not the hydraulic system.
Your talking the hydraulic filter and it's relief valve right?
Above is only for the main hydraulic relief, there is another relief option if it's doing it when you step on the HST pedal!

yup - I screwed the pooch ...... did a look up and was not paying careful attention to WHAT I was looking at!
Thanks again for the help, and yes I'm referring to the hydraulic filter. The filter will rupture while just turning the starter with out engaging any controls. Does the valve shown just screw out of the valve body? Sorry for all the questions as I've not got a lot of experience with hydraulic systems. And dealer wants 1200 dollars just to diagnose.

To all who have helped, this is a picture of the filter. I haven't tried removing any valves yet hopefully tomorrow
