If anybody has followed my other thread, I figured out why my BX is having problems going up a hill. This is my other thread, but I thought I'd start a new one. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/kubota-owning-operating/240157-bx-wont-pull-hill.html
In the other thread, someone suggested I pull up to a tree and in 4 low, it should spin the tires. I did this once, everything spun. I backed up and did it again, and only the fronts spun. So I put it in just two wheel low, and same thing, the rears are not spinning. The funny thing is, I can hear the engine digging in and a little bit of HST whine. I'm thinking broken axle or something. So I do it again and lean way out and look at the rear wheel. Well the problem is the rim is spinning inside the wheel. I spent something like $116 at the dealer, to have them tell me nothing was wrong. The drove it up and down some hills and never had a problem. I can't really fault them for not finding this problem.
So does anybody have any ideas on how to make this stop? I thought I would raise the rear tire pressure a little. I know this is a problem on drag cars, where the run low tire pressure and get great traction. On them, they bolt the tires to the rim. I'm don't think this would work on my BX. I also have rimguard in the rims, if this makes any difference. I thought it might make the rims a little slippery?
