    Able to lift the FEL by hand?

    After watching that video, it almost feels like the bucket curl is stuck in some type of "float" setting, despite the stick not being pushed all the way forward into the float feature, since the bucket is still 2 feet off the ground. I have not yet talked with the dealer. I was hoping to avoid...

    Able to lift the FEL by hand?

    I was doing some driveway maintenance and when I was back dragging some gravel with the bottom of the bucket, I noticed that the bucket sort of flopped back up and didn't drag properly. I got off the tractor and was able to lift the bucket by hand like there was a partially empty hydraulic...

    Pin-On bucket vs SSQA on a BX23s what would you do?

    I own a bx1880 with the ssqa. The extra weight of the plate hurts, but it is a double whammy because it also pushes that load out farther. At times i wish i would have gone with a pin on bucket, and i eyeball them on facebook market. I have a set of ssqa titan forks and it can only lift a few...

    BX1880 Rodents chewed through Hydraulic Fluid hose?

    I am not disputing any of that. I known the damage rodents cause. However, this building already had bait and traps in it. The rest of the machinery is untouched. I do believe that the soy based products attracted the rodents to this particular machine. In any event I need to fix it. This is a...

    BX1880 Rodents chewed through Hydraulic Fluid hose?

    I'm not pointing the finger at the dealer. I am confident some type of rodent caused the damage, not the dealer - unless the hose somehow ruptured or got caught on something under there, which is possible, but unlikely. If anything, Kubota Corporation is more at fault, since they swapped over...

    BX1880 Rodents chewed through Hydraulic Fluid hose?

    This is my first tractor. None of this was covered by my dealer. None of my other equipment is having issues. This may have been well known on your end, but I've never had this type of issue before, and we live in the country and had I known the wiring and hoses were all soy based or that this...

    BX1880 Rodents chewed through Hydraulic Fluid hose?

    No, it is not insured through KTAC. I have it insured through my home owners as a named item and is only used non-commercially for maintaining my 10 acre home. I will likely pay the repair out of pocket and pay attention to the lawsuit for reimbursement. It looks like quite a bit has to come off...

    BX1880 Rodents chewed through Hydraulic Fluid hose?

    I own new BX1880 and when I went to pull it out for some spring cleanup, it spit hydraulic fluid all over under the tractor. It looks like a rodent chewed through the reservoir return line hose to the hydraulic fluid tank (where you fill it up). It is a black hose with a red line on it and it...

    BX80 Rear axle seal failure?

    Thank you. One more quick question. Is this something i should send back to the dealer as a warranty issue? Or is that seal really just a hand press fit? I dont know how common of a problem this might be at 24 hours. I cant even imagine how that seal unseated, since i have been primarily just...

    BX80 Rear axle seal failure?

    I have a nearly new BX1880 with 24 hours on it - mostly mild residential use (mowing the lawn/grading driveway). Today when I went to fire it up, it struggled with a larger than normal puff of smoke and the hydraulics on the loader were jumping/stuttering - so i wondered if there was a loss of...
