Thanks a lot guys. Iwill go browsing at my dealers. Ron

1500 hrs and my seat is worn out, need to replace. Is there something better out there. Due to the reversal for the BH ops that limits things some what. Appreciate any ideas from past experiences. Ron

2011 BX 25, 1500 hours. No major mechanical problems, minor irritating little stuff. Keep maintenance up religiously. Never use SUDT2, NAPA 85-405, and all NAPA filters. Have WSM and it has saved me a lot of $$ staying away from the dealer shop. Ron

I welded up a removable rack to install suitcase weights onto the 3PT Qh for my BX. Add only what I need 50# at a time. Working on a rack for the front also (winter project). Ron

Thanks for the quick replies but both of those are for later models that have the connection point higher on the stick. Mine is 2011 vintage. Ron

Lucked onto a brand new thumb for my BX BH from a guy who bought it and never installed. All he had was the parts list, no install instructions. I am baffled. He had the parts list and all the parts are there. Can someone send me an install sheet copy or some pictures of an install please?

I use Chevron DELO 400 15/40 in everything engine wise. Have for 50 years. It is formulated for diesel and heavy duty gas engines, originally for stationary large diesels. I use a SUDT in NAPA brand. It has the same spec as the Kubota product per the shop manual. Every thing in my BX25...

Which Bota tractor is this on? I raised the pressure on my BX25 to 2000 psi. The difference in lifting and force was significant. Speed is a function of GPM and increased pressure does not change it porpotional to the force so it is not that much, but was noticable. How did you determine...

Sean, I am planning some additions to my BX25. My plan is to put add 4 valve spoo,l under the FEL joy stick, primarily for the rear. One will pipe both directions from a tee and QCs. The forward one will be connected to the grapple I am building. Depending on what is connected to the fourth...

My Bx 25 is out of warranty so I do not buy from the dealer. With my fleet discount, by being retired military, I get NAPA products for almost half of the Kubota prices and they are right down the road not, 40 miles away. I compared the specs on the K SUDT oil and the NAPA and they are...

The BX25 is not in true 4 wheel until you heel down on that little lever below the seat on the left side. This is really cumbersome when you are in an operating mode. Has anyone out there experminted with a hand operated lever to do this more effectively? This is the worst engineering flub...

I have a BX25. I do not have time to read all this thread through so I may be repeating something. You cannot troubleshoot hydraulic problems w/o a guage. W/o you are stumbling in the dark and getting into the old try things till something works syndrome. Also you cannot do this work w/o...

I raised the pressure to 2000#, no indication of that causing a problem. I have a BX25 and they only have the one relief at the rear, no FEL relief. Really made a difference on lifting loads both front and rear. You have to be aware that the heavier load on the FEL Bucket makes the tractor...

Try your local Les Schawb Tire dealer. Ron

Changing fluids at 50 HR is great insurance. I did and sure am glad. All fluids had grit, metal particles, and some kind of black gunk. You never know what gets i those things during assembly. At 350 hrs I had the first in-line fuel filter plug solid. Opened it up and it was clogged with th...
