I run Royal Purple synthetic 10w40 and a K&N Premium Gold Oil filter... a little overkill, but you can never been too safe.

I've got a BX2200 and I use the frontloader and rear box blade with the scarifiers removed, and it does a wonderful job. Last night I had about 3 1/2 inches on my driveways, and used the box blade to gather up the snow in a pile, then used the frontloader like a snowplow and pushed it into my...

Same thing go for cotter pins, shear pins, etc... most of this stuff can be found at hardware stores and automotive shops for a lot less money and hassle.

You can buy electronic tachs... for a reasonable price... tiny-tach makes some good ones.

I spoke with my Kubota dealer, and they said as long as it's within those two marks it don't matter. They said if you really want to put it up to the top notch, it doesn't hurt, and it might make the oil last a little bit longer, as there is more oil in the pan. They said 3 is fine if you don't...

A few days ago I changed the oil on my tractor and used a K&N filter on it. I kept checking the oil, and it seems as if it is a little less than 1/2 way on the dipstick. So naturally I did some Googling, and found that many owners add 3 1/2 quarts. So that being said... what do I do? Add more...

I like snow... outside my window. Not when I have to drive in it. It's funny... I've been sitting back thinking of where to put my snow with the Kubota. Good thing I've got another month or so before I got this little problem. My neighbor has a New Holland TC25 and he builds snow mountains for...

Oh you bet... it can't come quick enough... :D (Though not looking forward to driving my 2wd truck in it... too bad I can't slap some plates on my tractor and drive it to work. :p )

Yeah, roughly in the 800-1000 hour range is a good time to check. I think at 950 hours, it was the best time to check. It does run noticable smoother, and it seems to produce a tad less smoke at start up.

That's why I did mine now... because I know in the winter time, I got other projects that are way more important than my tractor. Plus I need my tractor for snow removal.

Thanks... I'd rather do it now, when the weather is comfortable. Yes, the new seat is made of a much nicer material. It's a breeze to put on, too. It's also very comfortable.

1 - IN - 0.004" <--- Worst 1 - EX - 0.005" 2 - IN - 0.006" 2 - EX - 0.007" 3 - IN - 0.005" 3 - EX - 0.007" I adjusted them to 0.006" across the board. Right in the middle of Kubota's specs.

I enjoy working on this machine... and I enjoy using it even more! :) Adjusted the valves... Put new glow plugs in... Put a K&N filter on and some Royal Purple SAE 10w-40... Put a new seat on... Took the deck off and popped the box blade on... Me messing around with moving some stuff...

Well, I did the valve adjustment according to specifications above. The tractor runs a lot better. It was, for the most part, very easy to do. :cool:

I've heard of air in the lines... but after about 20 minutes worth of use, it should be out. I've changed the fluid completely out on my BX, and never had a problem with air in the lines. It sounds as if the replacement fluid might not be working out causing your cycle times to be off when using...
