That's a good idea TripleS

I changed the transmission oil and filter on my BX2230, as well as cleaned the trans filter/screen as part of maintenance every 300 hours. I purchased 2.5 gallons of Super UDT2, as well as an additional quart as the manual calls for 2.7 gallons for a fluid change. I put the 2.7 gallons in and...

I have a BX2230 that i have an issue with. The mower deck will come up about half the distance to the stop, and that's it. Then, if I release the lift lever and try again, I will gain half the distance again. One more try and it will be all the way up. The 3 point hitch seems to be fine in...

Changing my front axle fluid at 770 hours on a 2005 BX2230.The manual call for either Kubota Super UDT or SAE80 or SAE90 gear oil. I assume the gear oil would be much cheaper. Suggestions? Thanks

I have a BX2230 and wonder if there is a way to get the mower deck to com up more evenly? As you can see in the pics one side bottoms out, but the other has a fair sized gap. I know how to lower the deck so there is a small gap at the upper stop, but I can't seem to get the other side to come...

I have a 2005 BX2230. I am wondering about changing the hydraulic oil. Is this the same as the transmission oil, and they are a shared system? I am not due for an engine oil change for 35 more hours, which would be at a 100 hour mark. Yet the oil seems a bit dirty. I know the dealer changed it...

I spent alot of time levelling my mower deck and getting everything set. It seems though that when I raise the deck up it isn't level in the up position, as in the distance between the top of the deck and the stop plates is not the same. I did set the distance from the right side stop plate to...

I have some really tall thick field grass that I need to cut and wonder if it is acceptable to run the mower deck in the "top" position, or even in the "full up"" position, which is even higher than the "top" position? It seems ok, but want to make sure this is an OK practice.

I am using my box blade and need to shorten up the top link a little bit more to get the right level on my box blade. I have it as tight as it will go, but there are a few more threads that I can't seem to use. See pics. Do the two screws in the side have anything to do with this? I cannot get...

I had the right rear wheel off as I was trying to minimize the amount of slop in the hydraulic control lever. I cleaned alot of crud out while I was back there, and re set the locker bolt on the implement lowering rod, which looked like it had maybe slipped forward. All good, and I put it back...

On a BX2230 where should my engine rpms be when engaging the mower PTO? Hi or low? Thanks

Is there a way to decrease the speed that the 3 pt hitch raises? I know I can slow down the speed to lower it with the dial by the seat. I am using (trying to use) a box blade and would like a little more leeway in the speed to adjust it as I am having trouble with it coming up too fast. There...

I have a used tractor that I recently removed the bucket from, and noticed one of the hydraulic lines seems bent, or at least one of the lines has a fair bit of strain on it. I never noticed it with the bucket on. Is there a way to fix this? Everything works, but it seems wrong. See attached...

I put a box blade on back of my BX2230, and want to leave the mower deck on as I'm just grading my driveway in the next couple weeks. The mower deck is in the "top" position so it doesn't go up and down with the blade.Is it ok to leave the mower suspended for a couple weeks in "top" position? I...

I am looking for a 48" box blade for my BX2230. I have lots of nasty clay. Can anyone tell me what the difference between these two King Kutter blades is? The orange one is a BB-48-XB for $549, and the yellow is a BB-48 for $599. Both are more than I want to spend, but finding a used one has...
