    small grass clippings getting past the single stage air filter on bx1880

    In my ram 3500 owners manual it says the engine (6.7 Cummins) is broken in at the factory. However, run in is enhanced (transmission, differentials etc) when towing heavy loads between 500 and 6,000 miles.

    small grass clippings getting past the single stage air filter on bx1880

    On the bx1880, there’s a yellow band north of 3k RPM’s where the pto has to operate in. I operate mine around 3,150 rpm when mowing, and that rpm makes up the majority of the 75 hours of out on it. The tach shows rpms up to 4k but the engine maxes out at 3,400 rpm. and yes, you can’t...

    small grass clippings getting past the single stage air filter on bx1880

    well I dont do hot oil changes. I use a bubble level to find a perfect flat surface in a concrete barn. I let it sit for a couple days and allow the oil to drain completely to the pan. On a bx1880 it takes exactly 3.18 quarts. I put 3 in, let it sit for 10 minutes, then slowly add more until...

    yeah, the end cap if you will presses the filter into place once you lock it in, which seats it.

    small grass clippings getting past the single stage air filter on bx1880

    Thanks everyone for your input, I sure hope the grass clippings were just from removing the air filter. I did the 50 service interval myself, and I noticed some slight oil consumption during the first 50 hours. I put 15w-40 in it and i've noticed oil consumption from 50 to 75 hours. didn't...

    I should’ve taken a photo of it. I got one of those blue paper shop towels wet and wiped the inside to get rid of the clippings.

    The grass clippings are coming in through the tolerances in between the air filter and the tube it slides onto.. or the male/female connections of the air filter. the paper element media is filtering everything

    small grass clippings getting past the single stage air filter on bx1880

    My little bx1880 has exactly 75 hours on it. I decided to check out the air filter and see how its holding up. Its dirty, as expected. When i pulled the air filter off i could see that on the other side of the air intake that small grass clipping were piled up probably a half inch into the...

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

    just curious, if the rings aren't already seated before i lay eyes on it, wont they seat within the first 30 minutes of use? I didn't know ring sitting was still a thing Like my 6.7 Cummins was broken in at the factory but they recommend towing between 500 to 6,000 miles to "enhance" run in of...

    I bought a new bx1880

    I bought a new bx1880 with quick attach FEL, 54” mid mount mower, snow blade for the loader, and grass catcher. It’ll primarily be used for mid mount mowing. does Kubota or land pride make a 3 pt. Snowblower? The tractor only has like 13.6 pto horsepower.

    Choosing between recommended oil weights

    They recommend the 10w-30 on the 2019 and newer 6.7 Cummins because of CAFE credits and such. Has nothing to do with engineering or tighter tolerances.. most 10w30 diesel oil doesn’t have as much zinc or phosphorus when compared to 15w-40 or 5w-40 VOA’s on rotella t5 10w-30 show that it has...
