    Health Care

    Skeets, I am certainly no expert here, but I am retired. I also get the AARP magazine and they say if you have insurance you don't have to worry. You will probably have to prove that you have at tax time with a policy number etc., but if it is not cancelled for some reason you are good to go...

    BX2200 FEL Question

    A couple of thoughts. I have a 2200 also. With everything in Neutral, transmission, 3pt, etc, and the brakes off, mine will not lift the front end but about a 1/2" at a little more than idle. At about 1/2 to full throttle it does fine. If you put it in gear, low or high, it will not lift the...

    Front blade hydraulic control issue

    Here's what I would do. First, retract the cylinder and unhook both lines from the cylinder. Remove QD's. Start tractor. There should be no oil from either line except a little drainage. Move lever quickly in one direction. Oil should come from only one line. Move the lever quickly in the...

    How long do you warm up your tractor?

    I am quite a newbee to Kubotas, but when I was a teen on the farm, that's been 50 years ago, we had 2 OLD AC's and an new MF. The winter temps were in the 0 F. range. I opened the unheated barn, started the old AC, set it on a high idle for about 30 min. then ran it. It ran for years and years...

    Shimming pressure release valve

    bosshogg, I understand what you are saying, but I see pictures of BX 2200's for sale with the wheels almost a foot off the ground. Just thinking that mine does not have the lift power others have.

    Shimming pressure release valve

    Dave, My FEL won't even lift the front wheels off the ground. Can't find anything else that is wrong. What is the pressure supposed to be? I'll check it to be sure before doing any changes.

    Shimming pressure release valve

    Not to try and hijack the thread, but does anyone know where the pressure relief or reliefs are located on the BX 2200? I need more power not more speed.
