    There is one thing I despise about kubota, part pricing

    i saw messicks had the super UDT2 at $140 for a 5 gallon container, not a bad price. as far as my oil changes i do not trust the kids working at a walmart. an oil change is a simple job but if done incorrectly the damage is extensive. i buy the oil at walmart, the "supertech" brand is actually a...

    The tractor is a bx2350, sorry about any confusion. It was one of those things I wanted to replace items that were worn out or broken. That at 2k for a hunk of plastic. If I could find a good used metal one I certainly would go that route

    i installed the bracing that goes underneath the fender, i bought the kit. the tractor didnt have that bracing when i bought it, and the fender broke. the damage had already been done. i have been dealing with alexander equipment, the dealer i bought the tractor from used in 2018. the steering...

    There is one thing I despise about kubota, part pricing

    what is considered high hours for a BX? i was thinking a diesel tractor should last 4K hours or more. BTW i store this tractor inside, i power wash the underside of the deck every time i mow. the underneath of the deck is extremely solid. i try to take care of this thing like i will never...

    my complaint is NOT with the valve, i am more then willing fix the valve, i figure i will fix it at the end of the mowing season and i will get away with around $300 cost..... i got really annoyed when i found out how much that plastic fender costs. it just seems to me like the machine is...

    i fully understand the profit motive, but 2 grand for a piece of plastic mold injection garbage is beyond usury of the customer. the plastic it was made out of was of poor quality to begin with. there different grades of plastic, the better stuff can be very tough fiberglass hair reinforced...

    There is one thing I despise about kubota, part pricing

    i have a kubota B2350, it's a fairly well maintained, low time tractor (for it's age). it has 630 hours on it and it is in good mechanical condition. it needs a new steering control valve, if i just bought the OEM part it is $1,300.... absolutely ridiculous. it only drips fluid so i am just...

    i like my tractor....... but (bx2350)

    i think i figured that out, it only makes the piece more rigid, it's not longer using any type of tab to lock it into the tower. are the replacement handles improved over the originals or are they exactly the same? it seems like there were somethings about the BX2350 that werent very good...

    Where would I find instructions or maybe pictures of these pieces. I have a new frame assembly and a flat curved piece of steel with 4 holes in it.

    i like my tractor....... but (bx2350)

    Dealer quoted me $50 per handle, $100 for the pair. Do you have a cheaper source for them. The other annoying thing I'm dealing with is the radiator screen. The original had tabs broken off so I went to my dealer. The replacement piece doesn't have tabs that are long enough....... fits...
