How to Check the Fluids and Lubricate a BX

[@joeballard3027]

This was exactly what I was looking for and not a waste of time. Thank you

[@larshoumann8031]

Simple, clear, and to the point. Thank you!!

[@scottthomas2204]

This is the best dog gone video of greasing the Kubota I've seen. So sick pf chatty Cathy, no-nothing, Steven Spielberg wanna-bes turning a simple instructional video into a Sundance Film Festival entrant. God bless this guy.

[@TractorTech]

Thanks! I try to keep all of my videos straight to the point.

[@davestewart1507]

Thank you I bought a bx1870 with no manual.. you rock.. subscribed

[@LO-cq7zl]

Excellent explanations! Thank you!

[@xdude2x]

Buying a used bx 2670 these videos have been helpful, thanks

[@TractorTech]

Good luck with your new tractor!

[@CelesteMargherio]

Great to the point video

[@fairygirl0202]

Thank you so much for the simplicity of your video. No tech mumbo jumbo just straight forward. I have checked all the points except I can not get the dipstick out on the front axle. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you

[@TractorTech]

Your welcome! Try wiggling the dipstick side to side as you pull it. They are a very tight fit.

[@fairygirl0202]

After much determination lol I finally managed to get it off. Thank you and I Luvs my tough little KUBOTA

[@wjstewdog]

Great video. I watch it a couple times a years. Thanks!!

[@TractorTech]

Thanks!

[@mikeormickvandyke5238]

Nice video, direct and totally on point.

[@TractorTech]

Thanks!

[@TractorTech]

+Kv pce Thanks, I try to be straight to the point in all of my videos. Congratulations on the purchase of your tractor. I'll do a video in the very near future on the controls, then one on hooking up to a PTO implement. What products do you want to know about? Thanks for taking the time to comment!! Thanks for the video suggestions!

[@thedudefromU]

Just bought a BX23s. Thanks for your service to the Kubota community

[@JC-wz8oo]

Another awesome and to the point video. Thank You

[@TractorTech]

Thanks!

[@lcswartz49]

Love your video apparently you must be a Kabota 🚜 tech I have mechanical abilities. I have plenty of tools, but I just can’t find the problem that I’m having now, but I’ll keep watching and I will be a subscriber.

[@lcswartz49]

I have a question I’ve got a BX 2360 I’ve got oil or fluid or some type hydraulic coming out of my front end and I don’t know from where I have cleaned it all with brake clean and I don’t see anything leaking nowhere but I’ve got oil on the ground, a Parkette on horse maps and I just do not see where it’s coming from. Do you have any suggestions?

[@treygrant5030]

Thanks for taking the time to make this

[@TractorTech]

Thanks for watching!

[@r.budvoorhees2557]

Well done, good view of each subject. Disappointed that it does not cover power steering fluid check and location.

[@TractorTech]

Thanks. The powersterring fluid is part of the hydrulic oil that is checkec at the rear of the tractor.

[@pcdubya]

Nice clean unit! I have a 2350, I think I'll go wash it now. lol

[@TractorTech]

lol, thanks. The camera makes it look cleaner that what it is at times. Some of the videos it has actually been filthy and it looks clean.

[@paulgilbert6534]

Will CK with dealer tomorrow, added 1 qt when cold and still no oil on dip stick!

[@TractorTech]

Is the loader down?

[@brianus98]

Hello, quick question do you add the hydraulic fluid into the same area where the dipstick is?

[@TractorTech]

Yes

[@davesherlock1314]

I couldn't see any coolant on my 2370, so I added some. Now it's near the top of the upper reservoir which is probably too much. What will happen if it exceeds the tank capacity when the engine is hot?

[@portugeeprepper6821]

Nice tractor I'd like to get something like this soon. Thanks

[@TractorTech]

Thanks! If you have any questions before you purchase a tractor let me know. Kubota is doing 0% for 84 months right now.

[@lyndamorris6853]

Great Video, soooooo clean

[@TractorTech]

Thanks!

[@litehouse6]

Great Video! Thanks!

[@TractorTech]

Your welcome!

[@dickiedo136]

I'm still rather new to diesel engines. When I checked the engine oil after only a few hours of use, it was black already. I'm used to seeing clean oil and only black after many hours of use (on my gasoline engines). My friend says that black oil in a diesel engine is normal even after just a few hours of use. Do you agree?

[@TractorTech]

That is normal. Generally speaking diesel oil will get black within a few minutes or hours.

[@jaycs526]

Thanks for the info!

[@TractorTech]

Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@jeremytompson4044]

Hey -- bought a CountyLine Post Hole Digger for my B3200 and it's routinely getting stuck and the hydraulics can't lift it back outta the hole when it reaches a certain point even at full up on the hydraulics the digger keeps digging deeper when the PTO is on or it's just stuck with PTO off. Any advice or is it simply just a situation where bad clay + PHD don't mix well?

[@TractorTech]

I don't have a PHD. When you drill a hole with it, you don't need to be at 540 PTO RPM. You can go slow. Also as you drill the hole when you drill down a few inches raise the PHD out of the hole to clean it out them drill down and repeat. The clay is probably adding to the difficulty.

[@georgebaumann1]

Excellent video! So what do you think of the front axle on my bx being a quart low after watching and checking the fluid? Any idea the total amount of fluid it hold empty? Thanks

[@TractorTech]

A quart low is a lot. What model BX do you have?

[@georgebaumann1]

Bx25

[@henryhenry5897]

So the rear hydraulic Is same whats used for loader and also for transmission or is transmission separat ?

[@TractorTech]

The rear hydraulic reservoir covers everything hydraulic on the tractor, trans, loader, 3 point hitch and power steering.

[@paulgilbert6534]

Is it best to check at operating temp or cold. 28 f and 2 hrs on bx 1880, hydraulic fluid is not on dip stick. Was told air might be displaced from the system and have to add UDT. THANKS

[@TractorTech]

If you are checking when it is cold the fluid will be down lower on the joystick, but it should be in the crosshatch area. When the tractor is warm it will be at the top or close to the top. The only time there would be air in the system is after a filter and fluid change.

[@dtuer]

correct that it's the only grease point on the tractor but backhoe and FEL needs greasing too

[@TractorTech]

I have videos of lubricating the loader and back hoe but I have not uploaded them yet. I was doing it in parts.

[@ryanfu2117]

Are most Kubota tractors like this. I couldn’t find the hydrolic on this older model.

[@TractorTech]

Depending on what model it is, it may have a metal dipstick.

[@dougsmith6639]

nice videos, thanks!

[@TractorTech]

Thanks for watching and commenting. I have more BX maintenance videos on my channel and I am adding more.

[@mattseymour8637]

Got some power then.. I've got the west wood tractor. What width deck is yours?

[@TractorTech]

It has a 54" deck.

[@bayview63]

On the front axle dip stick, where is full there is a line and two dots. Can’t find it anywhere in the manual and like you said hard to see but where is full?

[@TractorTech]

The bottom portion of the dipstick larger in diameter. At the top of the larger diameter portion is full. If you can't see it, drag a finger nail across it.

[@bayview63]

94BULLITT thx thought so but wanted to be sure. Great vid

[@SpringerRider69]

I add an EA Wicked grapple. I guess it was bone dry because when I circulated the fluid through it, the sump was out of reach of the dip stick. After adding a quart, it is still dry. LOL

[@TractorTech]

I takes a bit to fill the cylinders and hoses. Most people don't check their fluid after adding a grapple.

[@charlottethompson7389]

Where do fill the engine oil? Does it go in the dip stick tube?

[@TractorTech]

There is a cap on the top of the engine in the valve cover that remove to put the oil in.

[@grantpyrah4834]

My L3400 Kubota tractor has a cloudy, almost white view window where the hydraulic fluid level is checked. What does this mean?

[@TractorTech]

It sounds like it may have water in it. Hydraulic fluid should be clear.

[@angelaclark4296]

I have a bx 1500 ,awesome machine; but the front tires are wearing on the outside edges.

[@TractorTech]

Check your tire pressure if it is too low it will wear the edges. Then check the front end alignment.

[@georgearenque8530]

Could you make video on steering column problem of too much play for Bx2360. Thanks

[@TractorTech]

I have a video on the front axle adjustment which could cause play. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKPZl5WPoK1gr7c Let me know if that fixes it. If it doesn't I'll try to make a video.

[@travislee5268]

I have the backhoe and loader attachment how do i properly check the Fluid to make I have enough hydraulic fluid?

[@TractorTech]

+Travis Lee The procedure is the same as what I showed in the video. I would check it with the pins in the back hoe and loader down.

[@charlottethompson7389]

Does the hydraulic oil take udt2?

[@TractorTech]

Yes

[@brianlittle4404]

What type of hydraulic fluid does it take

[@TractorTech]

I use Kubota Super UDT2.

[@audresslaporte4392]

my power steering is leaking where do i add oil or check it

[@TractorTech]

It is part of the hydraulic system. Check it at the rear of the tractor.

[@ryanfu2117]

It was dark I’m going back today. Couldn’t even get the hood up in the dark haha

[@TractorTech]

It is tough working on things in the dark.

[@aaronrhubstar7739]

Been trying to find this for the 2680.

[@TractorTech]

Everything should be the same.

[@christheicemanberg]

I have a bx2200 same gear oil do I use

[@TractorTech]

For the front axle? You can use the Kubota super UDT2 or 80w-90 gear oil. I use gear oil.

[@angelaclark4296]

Should you always operate at full throttle?

[@TractorTech]

If you are using the PTO, yes. For other work, I operate between 2700 and full throttle. The heavier the load, the higher the RPM I run. If you listen to the hydro, it sounds different if it needs more RPM.

[@mattseymour8637]

What hp and cylinder is it?

[@TractorTech]

23 engine hp 17.7 PTOHP 3 cylinder

[@GlennKnight-hu6dv]

How about brake fluid?

[@GlennKnight-hu6dv]

Woops mechanical break just tightened it up.

[@paulgilbert6534]

Loader and rear snowblower are down.

[@TractorTech]

Ok

[@sergdane5660]

Is hydraulic fluid is same as transmission fluid on bx?

[@TractorTech]

Yes, it is.

[@sergdane5660]

94BULLITT Well transmission is leaking on my bx2680 with 40 hours on it. Will call dealer on Monday. Starting to feel sorry for not going with john deer

[@TractorTech]

Is the filter tight?

[@sergdane5660]

94BULLITT filter is tight. Leak is on very rear, like pto shaft seal or back cover

[@TractorTech]

That sounds like it should be an easy fix. Don't regret buying a BX, they are far ahead of the competition.

[@williamdoty6576]

You didn't check the Is power steering fluid.

[@TractorTech]

It is part of the hydraulic system that is checked at the rear of the tractor.
