Kubota BX2230 leaking hydraulic oil

[Rjlombardi]

I was given a Kubota BX2230 several years ago
The 2001 tractor only had 200 hours on it, it did not have a mower deck.
I bought a 60鋳 mower deck for the tractor (Ouch) $3000 later
I used the tractor all last year mostly to mow a 3 acre yard.
The tractor now has over 300 hours on it.
Two days ago I notice a huge puddle of hydraulic oil under my Kubota.
The mower deck is covered, I fired up the tractor and is seems to be leaking above the drive shaft that operates the mower.
I can not see where the leak is coming from as I cannot get under the tractor.
BTW, I did have the tractor serviced last year when I purchased the mower deck

You will need to take the deck off, clean it up, fill back with oil and then run it to find out exactly where the oil is coming from. It could be as simple as a leaking filter or something much more expensive to fix. This is the first time I've heard of a bx leaking from that area.

:tractor: I'm going to move this thread over to our Kubota section.

If you have a loader there are hard lines going up front. There are also several hoses going to the steering controller under the dash and they may be due for the change out.
