    How to check tire pressure with liquid filled tires

    I have a BX1870 that had liquid filled tires when I got it. Do you have to have the valve at the top of the tire when you check the pressure ?? Do you still put the same pressure that Kubota recomends ?? Thank You, john

    Putting a loader back on a B X 1870

    No, I dont have the brake on. I was thinking about putting some thing under the bucket because it goes where it is almost there & then stops. That could be a the problem. Thank You

    Putting a loader back on a B X 1870

    I have watched videos 50 times !! A blind man could be blind folded & put it on in 5 miniuts !! I must be a moron. I can remove it easy just the way they show. BUT, putting it back on is a real struggle for me. It will just not go on evenly. Even on a flat surface. Any tips would be appreciated...

    Thank you all for your replys. I wanted to know for when I trailer it . It darn near weighs as much as my old B-20 . But my B-20 SEEMS to be a heavier built machine & MUCH more stable. But they say it weighs 2000 lbs. Thank You

    Kubota B 20

    Shaun, Thank you for the info. Is there a way to determine if that is the problem for sure ? Also, I spoke to the Kubota parts guy this morning. He said on the B20 there are actually 2 hydraulic pumps. 1 in the front & 1 in the rear. He said that either one of them could make this problem. Both...
