Too much fluid ?

[Steve67]

I have had my new b2601 for about a month, the dealer filled the rear tires , I checked the pressure at 12 clock and fluid came out, does that mean the dealer over filled with fluid ?

Yup....

but be careful - do NOT set the valve stem at 12 o'clock and let 'er bleed!!!!
JACK up that tire side - and thennnnnn let it bleed at 12 o'clock! OTHERWISE - the flatness that will allow more fluid to come out than it should!

IF you do it and allow the tire to flatten - it will push the fluid up higher until the rim is on the ground....then when the air fills the tire and the fluid will lower to bottom of the tire, and be somewhere below the 12 o'clock position.

You want your tire about 75% full, with that other 25% being air that can be compressed and be the ONLY shock absorber you have on the tractor!

Like 85Hokie said, if you just had the valve stem at the 12 O'clock position and the tire still on the ground, the weight of the tractor will force fluid out.

Got to have the weight off the wheel, by having it lifted off the ground.

Thanks guys, I did have the tire on the ground so I'll jack it up and check again

Also some tire and rim designs do not follow the rule on filling them as the valve stem will be lower than the 75% when at the fill level.

If both tires match the same level, leave them alone, it's not going to hurt anything.

Also, you'll always have a little liquid come out because the valve stem will hold a little. Blow a little air in first to clear that out. If you can hear it bubbling it may be over filled.

Hello I have a new BX 1880 for about a month now. I believe also my dealer over filled the rear tires on my Kubota as well. How would you recommend I make sure the fluid fill is at about 75%? I have no air pressure in the rear tires that I can tell on the gauge. Thanks

at 12 o'clock .....something should come out.....fluid or air.....
I'd check the gauge.......even a low tire will have a pressure of 8-10 lbs!
Fluid IN the gauge will cause a funny reading!
