    Shop Manual for BX1870 Front End Loader

    I need some help again here guys. I learned this morning from my Kubota dealer that the FEL on my BX1870 only has a one-year warranty; hence they will not be able to fix the "squishy" loader control lever issue (the actual tractor is still under warranty but not the FEL w/hydraulic control)...

    FEL Control Lever Gone "Squishy"

    Hey guys, I'm back and need advise/help. I've been using my BX1870 thus far this summer with absolutely no problems (apart from a dirty fuel filter, which I replaced). This afternoon I went to use the BX and the first thing I noticed once it had warmed up was that the FEL control lever had...

    BX1870 RPM/PTO Issues

    Hey guys, I haven't posted for awhile as everything has been operating perfectly on my 2013 BX1870. I last mowed four days ago using my Land Pride FDR 1648 finish mower and the little BX 1870 worked/mowed flawlessly. Just previous to this mowing I had greased up all the zerks on the mower...

    BX1870 and Slope Mowing

    I was able to mow the meadow beside our house today as we have gone now for 24 hours without rain. My first attempt at attaching an image of me on my BX1870.

    Need Advise on 50 Hour Service

    My BX1870 will soon be coming up for its 50 hour service and preventive maintenance. The manual states that the hydraulic (transmission) filter must be changed; the transmission fluid itself isn't to be changed until the 400 hour mark. My question to the experts is: Can I change the...
