Kubota BX Knob Adjustment Explained

[@andykross7242]

Thanks for the video, it helped me today to be able to leave the deck on and still be able to till. One thing to note in my case, the quick hitch was hitting the ROP’s because I had the ROP’s down. The three point wasn’t lifting up all the way due to the interference. Once I moved the ROPs out of the way the knob worked as intended.

[@RossOnTheLand]

Oh! That's a really good point! Because I have always had my rops canopy, I never thought of that. Great point. Thanks for watching and commenting. I'll pin your comment to the top so more people become aware of this! Thank you.

Lol and here I am just received my new BX23S and am trying to learn how to adjust the cutter height. Loved your video. Thanks so much for explaining it. Very much appreciate your time and effort to explain this.

[@RossOnTheLand]

Congratulations! Glad it was helpful! A few other things. 1) Watch the coolant level, it has been known to drop after about 30 hours as there is usually some air left in the system. 2) check the front tires diff fluid level using the yellow cap on the front diff. 3) if your throttle starts slowing down and not staying at speed, it's usually the jam nut under the throttle lever backing off, take the black grill at your feet off and reach up underneath and add a nyloc nut to it to stop that from happening. Let me know if you have any more questions.

[@houndsmanone4563]

Ross. I have a Massey GC1710 sub-compact and the mid-mount mower control knob is located about the same place and I never got underneath to examine it and your demonstration clearly explained the notched control spindle very well. I too have an under armor shield for my little tractor but it's made in sectons which I haven't crawled underneath to fasten yet. I'm definitely concerned about the HST fan when I travel through wooded areas. If that HST fan gets whacked, all hell breaks loose and money just pours out your wallet. Right now I'm going through my 3rd week of pine needle raking and stacking before I have to shovel them into a cart for their final deposit at a pre-designated spot for dying pine needles (their graveyard). I'll be so dang glad when that chore's done. New SUBSCRIBER! Thanks for supporting my channel. Have a fine week, Ross. Don 👍🏼🤠

Hi Steve, glad it helps. Let me know if there is anything else I can help with. Have a great day.

[@jared5862]

Great explanation of how the knob works. Only thing I’d recommend is showing how to adjust the 3 pt to be able to get the knob to the top position and then recommending that you run the skid plate with it locked in top position. If it’s hanging down at all and you back up in some brush you just made a feed ramp to put sticks right up in the undercarriage and fan.

[@RossOnTheLand]

Those are good additional information I should revisit. Thank you for commenting.

[@1966poker]

Should lock up in Top Position and not lower at all. You may have to adjust the linkage at the left rear tire. In my case I could not get mine into the TOP position until I placed a jack under the plate and put pressure on it which then allowed me to lock in the TOP position so it will not drop when lowering a rear implement. The plate was that tight of a fit.

[@RossOnTheLand]

That's a good tip thank you.

[@JelenOutDoors]

Good info and visual on the knob function. Excellent idea to use a skid plate to protect the undercarriage. Although you can't use the skid plate in the winter because it interferes with your snowblower connection you would not want it on anyways because it would trap ice and snow where you don't want.

[@RossOnTheLand]

That's right Jelen, I did see another company that has a removable access panel through for the pto shaft in winter, but I'd rather remove it completely in winter as you said.

hi and thanks for the video, I have had a Kubota 1870 since 2015 I have the snow blower and front bucket and weight bucket on rear but this is the first season I have attached the belly mower and I could raise and lower the belly mower ok till yesterday I will see what is going on and spray up the linkage. So I have to raise the weight bucket all way up then adjust the mower height? learning on this mower thing

[@RossOnTheLand]

Hello, and glad this helps. If it's the same type of setup, then yes. Raise the 3pt arms all the way up and. Then you should be able to rotate the height knob. It is stiff, but will rotate in either direction. Wearing gloves helps, and yes get under the deck and see if it's all gummed up with dirt and clean it out and lube it up if needed.

great video and it really explains it perfectly. The one thing that I was interested in was how to you see that stepped part because it seems to let down the mower deck too far. thanks

[@RossOnTheLand]

Hello, I'm glad it helped. It has to let it down far enough that the mower will ride along the ground at various levels depending on the ground's surface so it does need long travel. Let me know if there is anything else I can help with.

[@vincentfisher74]

[@RossOnTheLand]

If your mower deck is off, slide under. It's exactly below that turn knob. You'll be able to see what's going on and what position it's in. You should then be able to work out what position it's in. Hopefully that helps.

[@noelstractors-firewood57]

Great explanation. I don’t have one of those tractors. But most of my garden tractors have that height adjustment knob. The shield guard underneath, is that a factory piece. Would the dealer put it on normally if it is ? And if you are backing up in the woods or muddy area, does the rear of the guard lift high enough to miss the dirt ? Had my Case 446, with 48” snow thrower, out yesterday to clean up a 20-25 cm wet heavy April snow storm. That’s what I did on my land yesterday. ! Hopefully no more. But. Never know. Can’t wait for Plow days and tractor runs. Have a good one.

[@RossOnTheLand]

Hey Noel, the under armour is an aftermarket order from a company called BXPanded. And yes you can raise it up high enough to never have it catch when going backwards. I usually keep it at Top, and this locks the arms from moving and safe. I'm finally glad our snow is gone, and temperatures are rising!

Really cool idea. Regular installation is time consuming and you can't put deck on with armor attached.

[@RossOnTheLand]

Thanks for watching and commenting Mike. let me know if there is anything else you have any questions.

[@wildbill23c]

With the deck on you don't need the skid plate as the mower deck is there to protect the under side of the tractor. Mower installation/removal for me takes maybe 5 minutes, overall 10 minutes due to having to drop the loader bucket, put the pallet forks on, go get the mower off the pallet and bring it around to the carport to install it, then remove whatever 3 point implement/attachment I have on at the time, then remove the skid plate and install the mower deck...the rear lift arms are the hardest part of the whole thing to get lined up and locked in, after that its very quick and easy.

With the body armor I'm guessing cannot use a belly mower. Is there a skid plate that will work with both a belly mower and the front mount blower?

[@RossOnTheLand]

Hello, I do not believe so, but really the point of the armor is to protect the underside of the tractor, and the belly mower would be doing just that. So in my case I do not have a belly mower because I use a separate zero turn mower, I do like having the protection in the summer, and in the winter I don't usually go through the brush and branches while focusing on snow clearing the driveway and trails.

When I lower my deck mower my 3 point hitch lowers too, how do I stop that? Also show us your toolbox. Handy!

[@RossOnTheLand]

Hello! The mower deck and 3point hitch are tied to the same action. The way to stop it is to use the numbered turning knob on the deck floor and put it to TOP. This will hold the MMM up and not let it lower when using the rear 3 point hitch. I have another video on the ammo box toolbox back in my older catalog if vids.

[@chappy2312]

I have a silly newbie question… Assuming this knob is for the mid mower deck only and has no effect on the back three-point hitch?

[@RossOnTheLand]

Hello, If you have the BX the height of the Mid Mower Deck is raised and lowered using the same mechanism as the rear 3 point arms. All the knob does is stop the MMM from moving full range when the 3point arms are lowered full range. Because there is only one control lever to raise and lower both... So raise the rear 3 point arms all the way up, and then rotate the knob to the desired number, and lower the 3 point arms and the MM will stop at that point.

[@kagnewmp12]

[@HuserHelpers]

Do you not pin the underarmor in the raised position all summer long?

[@RossOnTheLand]

I quickly mentioned that but maybe I should have elaborated. I usually keep the under armour at Top. But James from Killing it Country leaves his arms to have some motion so things don't seize. So I'm going to run with a bit of motion and keep stuff lubed up.

[@wildbill23c]

It should be locked in the highest position yes. Otherwise it'll hang down and potentially catch on stuff you run over. I keep my skid plate on pretty much all year as I don't use my mid mount mower very often right now. If you follow the lubrication guides you won't have any problems with stuff seizing up. Use a good tacky grease or light oil on all the components and it'll work just fine.

[@brendanbrown9965]

I seem to be having trouble with my BX2380..... we have just purchased it recently, and even when I put the 3 point all the way up, my knob will not spin in either direction. Maybe I am missing something, however I feel like I am doing it how you've explained! Any suggestions? Thanks!

[@RossOnTheLand]

Hello Brendan, if it has not been used in a long time the detents on the backside shaft (under the deck) may be seized. Put the rear 3pt arms all the way up, and get under the tractor and look at the knob's shaft. The shaft runs on a stepped bar (controlling the mid mount mower height) Make sure it's free and not sitting on the shaft. You should then be able to spray some PB Blaster or lubricant on it. Then go up and use channel locks on the plastic knob (protected by a rag or something) and slowly work it loose. I routinely have to wear gloves as the spring to clamp is very stiff. It will rotate in either direction. Let me know if you have any trouble.

Just took delivery of my BX23S and installed my under armor. Issue is I cannot get the knob to go to “TOP” with the under armor in place. Remove the under armor and it’ll go to “TOP” no problem. I thoroughly understand that the “top” position “tab” on the cam is not clearing the part it parks on. Is there an adjustment to rectify this?

[@RossOnTheLand]

Hey Terry, my suggestion is to remove the under armour, put the Knob at Top, turn on the tractor and pull up the 3pt control lever. Then crawl under and verify that it's working as intended. If it is, then replace the armour. When I pull up the 3pt control lever I know the armour pulls snuggly against the bottom of the deck. Let me know if this works, or if you need more help.

[@tbryson2]

Long story short, I turned the “mower link” adjustment 1.25 turns CW and it works like a charm now. I just guessed on the amount of turns, may have turned it more than it needed. In the book, this adjustment was found in mower section, subsection 5. Thanks for the closeups of the mechanism. It helped me to eyeball what was happening under there 😉👍🏼

[@RossOnTheLand]

@@tbryson2 excellent Terry! Have a great day.

[@wildbill23c]

Mine does the same thing, I crawl down next to the tractor so I can reach under it and slightly press up on the skid plate as I raise the 3 point and it'll then allow me to select TOP on the adjustment knob. The skid plate is a tight fit as its supposed to be to keep it from rattling around, so you'll have to give the skid plate a bit of an assist from under the tractor as you raise the lift arms.

Hello Mike, and welcome. With the rear 3pt arms all the way up, (like all the way) Does the Knob wiggle at all? It may have seized. My suggestion is to crawl underneath and spray with liquid wrench or WD40 and see if you can get it to wiggle. And see if the tab of the arms are in contact with the detents on the knob. That's your best chance of seeing if there is still interference. Let me know if that works.

I thought that there could be tension on the 3 pt ...so I manually pulled the deck up and placed props under the edge of the deck....much to my surprise ...the maneuver works...was able to start the disconnect for the mower...but much to my chagrin the disconnect required more than available videos...in the end...got it off...now it's time for celebration..woo hoo here comes 99!

@@mikeclarke4573 glad you got it off, so now have a look to see how your MMM adjustment knob is interfering with the 3pt arm tab. Happy day.

I still can't turn my knob, no matter what position the deck is in. What am I missing?

[@RossOnTheLand]

Hello, my suggestion is to turn on the tractor and run the tractor at about 2.5k rpms, then use the control lever to lift the rear 3pt arms all the way up. This should remove any restrictions on the height adjustment knob. If it is still not moving, turn the tractor off and crawl under the tractor and verify that the bottom side of the height adjustment knob is not in contact with any of the detents. Hopefully that helps.

I’ve tried every which way and the nob still won’t turn.

[@RossOnTheLand]

It's best to crawl under and inspect the detents and see how the tab is hitting. Make sure your rear 3pt arms are absolutely fully up all the way first. Let me know how it goes.

Mine still won’t turn

[@RossOnTheLand]

Hello, if you are sure you have lifted your rear 3 point arms to their highest position, do it again, then try using a pair of gloves to get more grip on the adjustment knob, or maybe a pair of channel lock pliers but be gentle not to wreck the plastic knob. If the underside of your deck has some corrosion or dirt build up it may need some lube or persuasion.

I just bought a used BX2380. No idea what knob locks the mower, what knob hydraulic lifts the mower, but I do see the knob that is supposed to turn but doesn't. This video shows the mechanics of the lock (I guess.) Maybe I can push on it with a screw driver and see which knob above moves. Just kidding. Can somebody point out these things in a quick video. Look, if millennials ever inherit a tractor, they'll need all this basic info too. Help us out. The manual is full of locks and hydraulic lifts. Is it safe to just start yanking knobs until one does what you want? Seriously, just a quick video with out the trouble shooting. How to work it, if it's functioning as it's supposed too. Then, I'll figure out if it's broke or not.

Hello, just make sure the rear 3pt is lifted up all the way, then you should be able to rotate the control Knob. Let me know if you need any more help.
