At your Kubota dealership.

At your Kubota dealership.

I don’t want to have to take it there because they will take more than a week with it and I use it everyday to clean stalls and put in compost bins, hence the reason why I am asking.

The service is basically oil and filter changes. Any decent mechanic should be able to do the job.

Have your dealer do a service call.

In our kubota book it says at 400 hrs you must change transmission fluid and filter which we won’t touch and also to replace fuel filter and water separator. Now I don’t know if that really is needed but I want to make sure I keep it in top condition. Thanks.

As Dan indicated, it's not a complicated chore. Remove probably 4 plugs to drain transmission oil. Replacing fuel fuel filter is simple and needs to be understood by operator in case of contaminated fuel sometimes. Look into the service manual and take a couple of hours to learn about your machine!

Get all you oils and filters at the dealer and you'll be good for a long time.

1st step is to CLEAN the entire tractor BEFORE any 'oil changes/filters' work is to be done.
2nd step CONFIRM it is clean THEN call for service.

Thank you.

You should have - or get - the proper WSM ( Workshop Service Manual )?

I do, I have all of the manuals including the one for loader and grapple that show how to do it. Thanks so much it does look easy.

Hang out at the local Kubota dealership and see where they go for lunch. Go in and sit down with one of them and start talking about Kubotas. Then ask who is the best technician in the shop. Then find him and ask if he moonlights in fixing tractors. Got the idea???

I would fire an employee of mine that engaged in such. To be clear I'm talking about using my place of business or jobsite to make deals on the side. If the employee advertises to recruit customers without mentioning dealership I have no objection. You don't even want to know what I'd like to do with someone "hanging out at the dealership" to plan shenanigans.

Speaking of cleaning the tractor prior to service, Greensvillejay, I have a question. I purchased my BX23D used. The little thing was filthy. When I changed the transmission filter, I could see a lot of dirt/debris around the rear wheels, etc. I did as much as I could to remove the junk but went no further. I'd like the really clean it up when the weather warms up in the Spring. I have been afraid to use the hose or pressure washer on it for fear of getting oil into something and causing problems. What's the best way to clean these machines? I've buffed and waxed the outer and it's looking OK but I'd like to get the dirt off the underside and around the rear axles.

I would add that I do use a leaf blower after mowing or being out in the woods to get the loose stuff off. It's surprising how much stuff can actually be carried home!

Of the 2 dealerships I have worked at, if you were caught working on a brand of equipment sold or serviced by the dealership you were terminated immediately. It is a policy of every dealership I have delt with

I pressure wash my BX23S when it gets muddy. I keep the nozzle at a distance and use a wide-degree nozzle. I also spray it down with a 50/50 solution of dishwashing liquid to cut the grease and grime. I stay away from known oil dipsticks etc. It is no different than driving through mud holes and having the muddy water splash up on the underside of the tractor. Stay away from electrical connections and you will be OK.
Right before I sold my BX22 I gave it a good cleaning using the pressure washer, and before I realized it, I had blown one of the Kubota decals off of the tractor. The new owner didn't care so I didn't replace it. Just learned from the experience.

In case you don’t want to purchase a workshop manual, go to the App Store and download the mykubota application. The have videos on the app that show how to do these maintenance items step by step.

That is pretty much the standard and is usually listed in the employee handbook.
