    BX Hydrolic Bleedoff

    I have noticed that the BH bucket will not hold its folded storage position for prolonged periods. It will uncurl a few inches in a couple of days but stops at this point. Is this normal? Jim

    And Another PDI Issue

    2014 BX25 with 9 hours on it. I have it 4 weeks but only use it on the weekends at the summer place. Noticed this weekend that bot tie-rod end boots have cracked wide open. Looks like dry rot. Just another of the new machine gremlins to work out I guess. J

    BX25 Front Tires

    I am also having the leak issue on my new Bx25 front tires. The dealer has agreed to install tubes in both front wheels to address the issue. A friend of mine who has the same machine also had tubes installed on his machine but claims that it creates another issue. He told me that after he had...

    I am reading over my Service/Maintenance manual regarding the 50hr service for the BX25. Oil and filter change, Transmission filter change and also clean the transmission strainer.
