Re: Tire

Why is my front left tire always flat on the bottom only?
Ive got one that is on the right.....flat on the bottom, about 3 times a year......too cheap to place a tube in it!:p

Kubota tire sealant, water soluble, non-corrosive, seals up to 3/4" holes. It is amazing stuff. BX tractors have a chronic problem with front tire leaks. Some front tires we have spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to find the slow leak and never have. We have this in a 5-gallon bucket, couple pumps and the tire never loses air again. The best part is it rinses of with plain water, no mess.

Re: Tire

Seems the BX series does have a problem with fronts losing air, went to my stealer and told him about it and he gave me a jug of slime,,, that was right after I got her and it hasnt lost any air in the last 5 years

Never my friend he didn't give it to me I had to pay for it, and the only remorise I have is not going to the B, oh and by the by all dealers be they Chevy HD or the big K you name it are stealers. I understand each one has to make a buck thats how they stay in business. But when you see the prices they charge for basic stuff, perhaps stealer is the wrong term maybe rape is a bit closer to the point. Attitude toward customers, prices, the take it or leave it mentality,I have little respect for a lot of dealers. I know there are a LOT of good dealers out there that will give you your monies worth and stand behind their work, those dealers are getting few and far in between today. No I want nothing for nothing and have no problem paying for work I cannot do my self. It is the poor SOB that gets raped every time he goes to a dealer, because he knows no better.
OK I need my coffee

I lucked out with a few dealers here. My new B3200 had a flat a couple days after I bought it so I gave them a call, they told me to bring the wheel in and they'd put a tube in for me. Well taking a chance I brought both with me and they did do the 2 of them no charge. Just bought a new to me Dodge Ram 1500 and the dealer has been great. I know this is rare because I've had more bad than good, just lucked out, kinda nice for a change.

My dad had tubes put in his fronts. Didn't know this was a known issue on these tractors.
