BX2680 hydraulic leak

[MIker2680]

My BX2680 (50 hours) had a massive hydraulic leak yesterday from area of the rear axle. Dealer, 50 miles away, suspects rodent damage to 'return hydraulic hose'. Any thoughts about DIY fixes?

Sunspot activity is interfering with my clairvoyant powers. Do you have a backhoe? Pictures please.

Stop suspecting. Where is the leak? Clean everything and then run it for a few seconds if you cannot see the leak source right now.

50 hours!!! Do you have KTAC insurance?
Must be still under warranty, tell the dealer to come out and look at it and fix it.

EDIT: Welcome aboard by the way! Glad your here.

Warranty should cover it. Did you run over something, jam something in that area? Maybe your dealer didn’t check everything out like they were supposed to.. let them fix it.

If it is rodent damage or if something got jammed in there, the warranty will not cover it, and the bill is the owner's responsibility.

With that low of hours, would think something wasn't tightened down at purchase. Would suck if it was a rodent though.

I don’t know how bad you’re leaking but on mine I have a drop that hangs on my drain plug. No I didn’t use a new copper crush washer but I’ll pick up a few next trip to the kubota dealer in town.

The tractor could be several years old for all we know.
