    Tractor is a blessing

    I got a good one too. Similar situation. She was afraid of the steep slopes but did it anyway. Blessed with a Kubota and a soul mate.

    New here and I'm embarrassed

    My 2230 had a black knob near the steering column that when you push down on it popped the hood up. Hope this helps.

    BX2380 & tires

    You may want to think about a zero turn instead. Love my BX but it does do some damage on turns even with turf tires.

    Buying my first Kubota - education needed!

    Sorry. I read the post above and realized that I have turf tires not R4's. My dealer told me not only are they better on grass but also in snow.

    Buying my first Kubota - education needed!

    I bought the same combination you are considering. I did add the wheel weights. Not a fan of filled tires. I plow my driveway up hill with a back blade no problem. No chains needed.

    BX HST screen cleaning

    These screens are pretty hardy. Don’t know why you would need a new one. I sprayed mine off with brake clean and left it dry. Looked like new. I didn’t use any plug though.

    BX25D slow speed and lack of HST power

    BX2380 50 Hour, Lessons Learned

    Agreed and you can save about half. 50 hour service is around $400.00 give or take. I paid around $200.00 for all filters and fluids. That was air filter, two fuel filters, oil filter and HST filter and fluids to change everything including front axle and MMM gearbox. Have a gallon of HST fluid...

    BX2380 50 Hour, Lessons Learned

    Thanks Kevin. Just did my 50 hour service as well. I used 80w 90w in the front axle at my dealers suggestion. I also found all lug nuts loose and had to torque to spec. My HST screen was clear but for a few metal flecks near the machined end. I did not change the fuel filter yet but I am only at...

    Cold morning diesel gelling up I guess...

    When I delivered fuel for a living we always put #1 fuel (kerosene) in outside tanks in winter because it doesn't gel. You could call your Kubota dealer and ask it it would be okay to use kerosene. Oil burners burn much cleaner with #1 but I don't know if its okay for a diesel.
