    BX2680 losing all power and hydraulics.

    I have a 2021 BX that I bought new. Even now, I only have 60 hrs. I recently had it serviced. All filters replaced and fluid flushed. It is hard for me to get any service up here. The one guy we have is not very reliable. (I'll be up there in an hour means sometime in the next three weeks)...

    Optimum Rpm.

    I have had my BX-2680 for over two years. Bought it brand new. Have about 60 hours now. I wish I would have read this years ago. I have been running mine at minimum RPM, just enough to get the job done. By nature, I am a gentle person. My hydraulics was becoming weaker and weaker. I had...

    Kubota BX cutting in and out

    That seat switch has had me thinking I broke my tractor on more than one occasion.

    Accidently left parking brake on BX23

    I've left mine on, but it was so noticeable that I doubt I was able to move three feet. I have to admit, I stomp on that brake pretty hard before I set the lock. Maybe that is why it is so obvious that it is on. Another thing for me is pure habit. I never jump off the tractor without...

    Centre of balance question

    I have the bx-2680 and have tipping fears. Though I have some pretty steep slopes, my problem is sinkholes and the smallish tires on my tractor are too easily fall into them. The previous owner simply cut them flush, and they are under the moss, so I don't see them until I fall into one.

    Expanding field, clearing stumps.

    Actually, it was a joint effort. I wanted some seat time in that beast, and he was happy to train me. But when it came to moving the debris pile, and working up the more serious stumps, I turned it back to him.

    BX23S can't lift front bucket loaded with gravel

    I put a 55" grapple on mine and was able to lift railroad ties. That with a bx-2680. I have to keep the revs up. I was losing lift in the spring and had my 50-hour tractor serviced. We found some algae in the hydraulic fluid. It also was very foamy. I changed out all the filters and...

    Decrease DPF filter regen rates and increase life of your filter

    Ethanol is totally stupid. We are awash in oil and natural gas.

    Expanding field, clearing stumps.

    You guys talked me into doing it the right way. The young man that serviced my tractor cut me a good deal on renting his excavator. He spent about 20 minutes teaching me and let me loose. I did in one day what would have taken me months, if ever, on the BX.

    Expanding field, clearing stumps.

    A little over two years ago, I gave up my house in the suburbs to my daughter and moved into the mountains. I'm 70, sold my business and did very well. I bought 18 acres with a nice house on top of a mountain. I am not near anything. Just the way I like it. And I have a view to die for...

    Understanding that Top position on the deck height was a game changer for me.

    Kubota recommends being easy on the tractor the first 50 hours (should I even mow?)

    I've had my BX for 2 years and still don't have 50 hrs on it. Guess I've been breaking it in all this time.

    Starting and seat

    I know my BX will shut off if I have the Mid Mower installed and running. Had me going the first time I did that. I almost always start the BX in the garage standing beside it. That's when I do my walk around (pre-flight), check for problems and leakage.

    Three point leveling attachment for Kubota

    Inflation is really starting to hit. I go in TSC and just about anything I bought last year has doubled.

    I don't know if you are the luckiest or most cursed tractor driver I've met. Maybe both. Glad you are alive.
