Unbelievable. I had same problem with my 2019 BX23S. Thank the Lord I was able to find the solution via OTT community. The biggest hassle was notching the frame. Once accomplished, pulling the valve was no trouble. Cleaning the tiny port was a challenge. Silicone packs pretty tight apparently...

Sounds like aftermarket check valves could be useful. Any reason other than cost that would cause someone to not want to have them/it installed?

Hey all, ive got a 2019 BX23s with hydraulic leakdown issues. The stablizer arms slowly lower over time. I have to park in a tight space, but every time i operate this machine, i must remember to raise the stabilizers, otherwise ill clip the wall beside it. It has been this way since purchased...

Excellent suggestions guys. I will definitely keep beating on my dealer and attempt to do a home repair while i wait. Definitely will NOT spend $900 fir a new seat. Id sooner sit strap on a milk crate. As for the comment about the internal support being broke. It is stout when i put normal...

Thanks G. Was unaware of the JB bumper product. Will give it a try. Ive got my defect documented with my Kubota dealer, so I suppose there is no harm in me attempting a home repair. Especially since they are claiming there are no replacement parts available for the immediate future.

Hey guys, got distracted for a while, so failed to keep up with the replies. Has anyone tried JB Weld for something like this? I did have great success with it on a Swiss Army knife. Nothing else i tried would adhere the plastic handle to the stainless steel. Also just saved myself some...

Negative on the weight on armrest theory. This is the underside near where it pivots. Also, I am 6’2” and 180lbs, so I doubt I am putting more strain on anything mounting or dismounting than any other human would. The trim caps did get gone soon after purchase which was frustrating, but not a...

Anyone else having this issue? My padded armrest vinyl has split open twice now. Once a couple of months after purchase and again at only 2 years old. This machine is garage kept and only has about 170 hours of lite residential use. It has in no way been abused. The dealer replaced the entire...

Yeah, I’m not on this thing every day, but do spend a few hours each week on it. Primarily with fork operations, and I sure would have thought I’d be better at it by now. Everything else I do on it is somewhat intuitive. Not the forks. Oh well, it’s an excuse for more practice time.

Folks, again thanks for all the excellent input. I worked with the forks again over the weekend moving railroad ties and diesel tank, etc. really put it to work. I think I have concluded that the machine can do exactly what has been described by some of you, which is very precise & delicate...

Thanks again for all the input guys. And yes, I’ll agree there is never a substitute for good old fashioned practice. I guess I’m just surprised by how slow I am to gain control with the forks, but the backhoe came pretty easily. I was reasonably comfortable and competent with the backhoe after...

…sense of inadequacy. Guess I need to keep practicing.

Yeah, I did some testing last night and it appears my biggest problem is when I tilt the forks and lower at the same time. Like moving into a stack of pallets or positioning under a round bale. I also tend to fold my forks straight down and lower to the ground to park, since my current parking...

Never tried that, but will check this evening and report back. Thanks
