    Roll Bar Noise

    Attempt number 2 went much better. I removed the rops and drilled some 1/2 holes in the center of the mounting plates. I then added 2 cans of foam while poking it inside with an arrow. I let it set up overnight and reinstalled it. It is better but still not quiet. On a side note the whine...

    Roll Bar Noise

    Well I finaly broke down and added some foam. It helped a little but I still have some noise. I can stand it now with only the Ipod. DO NOT try to drill a hole slightly bigger than the straw on the foam can and spray in the foam while the rops is still on the tractor. I tried this. You...

    Roll Bar Noise

    I have listened to other new ones. They sounded just like mine did when new. It is just getting louder. The dealer had a new one running beside mine to hear the difference. They agree that mine is much louder. But again mine wasn't that loud when new. Mine seems to have stopped the high...

    Roll Bar Noise

    The tractor came home yesterday. The dealer changed out a resistor valve (I think this is what he called it) and put some thin spacers between the roll bar and the frame. It is still noisy as hell but a little bit better. It is a good bit better at idle than it was. I mowed last night with...

    Roll Bar Noise

    The local service guy picked her up today. Kubota apparently does not pay transportation costs or do house calls. I'm not sure I like the "bring it to us policy" and the "pay us to bring it in and fix a warranty problem" mentality. To be fair it was a reasonable fee. I was told it will be a...

    Roll Bar Noise

    None yet. I will call the local service department tomorrow. I'd like to have them come out and see/hear the problem before I haul it over to the shop. The 3000 RPM idea didn't work. It seems to be better when the tractor is cold and it gets worse as it warms up.

    Roll Bar Noise

    The rollbar is not loose. I took it off and then noise is better but still there. I have been told that the noise is normal until the break in time or a couple of hundred hours go by. I was just going to tough it out but it is driving me KNUTZ! If you made it through the whole video you were...

    Roll Bar Noise

    Let's take a moment to talk about roll bar whine and engine noise. I have a BX1860 that has a ton of noise being resonated through the roll bar. Has anyone drilled and filled the roll bar with spray foam? I have tried foam spacers and isolaters with no luck. I called the dealer today and...
