Sweet home, Oregon
I am new to the forum and just bought my first Kubota. I went for the BX25D. I have a lot of water in the ground with my three acres and there was no way I could justify getting something without a hoe. I foresee many curtain drains in my future.
I have been gleaning information off of the internet and have bought and prepped the steel to reinforce the top lip of the bucket, add two grab hooks and weld on a trailer ball for moving the boat around and also acting as a "slip" hook. I'll post pics when it is done.
Enough on the intro, my question is; how does the front axle get lubricated on the pivot point? I searched this site, the Kubota site and through the manuals. The owners manual talks about adjusting it after many hours which basically sounds like tightening up the pivot nut but I do not find a zert or mention of lubricating it. Granted, this is my first Kubota, but my John Deer mower even has a zerk on the pivot. I was thinking maybe Kubota made it with a Poly or UHMW bushing or something.
Can anyone clarify or confirm this?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Welcome!

Not sure about the BX, but my L3800 has a grease zerks front and back of the front axle pivot. Very important these get grease!

The BX owners will be along shortly...
