BX2200 MMM Adjustments

FarmerFrank · Jul 15, 2001

I have a new BX2200 with an RCK54-22BX MMM.

When in the raised position with the Cutting Height Control Dial set at Top, the right and left Mower Rear Links do not stop at the same distance from the Stopper. When lowered the Mower Deck is not level.

I expect that the solution is to adjust the lift link length as described on page 10-11 of the mower manual. However, I do have some questions?

Questions: Should these adjustments have been made by my dealer prior to delivery? Does Kobota have an authorized mechanic program? Should I ask my dealer to send out an authorized mechanic to make these adjustments.

As you may notice from my postings it appears that the fellow who assembled my tractor did not follow the directions in the manual. While I enjoy learning about the tractor I do not think that I should have to do the initial adjustments. If this is my responsibility I would have preferred to receive the tractor and implements in the crate and assemble them myself. This way I would know it was done right. To figure out what was done correctly and what was not I would almost have to disassemble and reassemble the whole darn tractor anyway.

The dealer should have done the initial setup correctly. It certainly sounds like yours did not. When my BX was delivered in January, the deck and FEL was properly set up. I know, I checked each and every setting that was in the manuals, including the torque settings.

Make yours do the same. You paid good money for the machine, you should expect that they delivered it only after going through Kubota's check list.

The only thing you should have to do is to maintain it. And that means everything, including checking the torque specs on the loader fame and wheels. Mine had loosened somewhat after 30 hours of use. I now have almost 100 hours and they stayed properly torqued since then.
