Hi Guys, I have a 2004 BX2230 with 225hrs on it. It has been a trouble free tractor so far. I have noticed that it appears the float position on the joy stick is not working any longer. Does anyone have something I can try to fix this?? We got a late season snow fall last night, about 8" of...

Guys, I just bought 50 posts to redo my front fence line. Rather than dig these by hand I thought I would borrow a friends cat 1 post hole digger and try it on my BX. I have no experience with a post hole digger but from what I read my BX will take a full size digger for a cat 1 set up. Is...

Guys, You helped me several years ago in deciding to buy my bx2230. I have just purchased 20 acres mostly wooded with hills, a 2acre field, and all fenced. I want to by an utility ATV to work on the property. I can't afford the RTV Kubota has so I want to go with a used ATV, maybe spend...

Hi Guys, About four years ago I purchased a BX 2230 to use around my home on one acre. I have a front mount blower for snow, a FEL and a backblade to go with the 50" mower deck. I has been a great little machine with no problems whatsoever. We get a ton of snow up here and the bx does the...

Hello, I have a bx2230 which has 175 hours. I have a question about the hydraulic lift for the 3pt and the mid mower. Recently, I pull the lever to move the mower deck up and the deck will lift about 1/3 the distance up and stop. The engine slows a little. I then move the lever again to...

well, yesterday my son and I made the transfer to "winter mode" on the bx. Pulled the mmm and cleaned it up, greased too, stored the fel, put on the backblade and blower. Since this is northern michigan snow is not too far away! I am still impressed with the ease implements change on the...

Hey guys, Not so long ago, I had to haul things the hard way. since purchasing my BX things seem to go much easier. As you can see by the picture, my old wheel barrow is somewhat jealous and it tries to wiggle it's way into the chores. So just to make it feel better, I throw a little into it...

Hey Guys, I am putting up the front mount blower for the season. I was checking the reduction box on the auger to see how the level of 80-90w was. I took off the small nut on the top (has a little release valve on top) and look in with a flashlight and could not see the top level of the oil...

Happy holidays to everyone that has helped me on this forum! Its nice to have a place to find the information you need Heres a picture to brighten the season

This is my first winter with my bx2750B front mount blower. I was wondering if anyone out there with similar blowers can clue me in on maintenance tips that will keep me out of trouble. I have read the manual that came with the blower, so should I just follow what it says or is there any other...

Ok, what\'s up with this?? Hey guys, Check out this listing on ebay. It says its a L2600DT, which I am not familiar with. It is listed for 1 day only, but I can't find anything sending off warning bells. Only one bid and it seems like a nice set up. Maybe some else can see something I'm...

thought I would post a pic of the Bx2230 handling the current wet snow we are getting. Most of the time we get hit with lake effect light stuff but this is the 3rd wet snow we have received this season. No big deal for the blower though

Hey guys, Yesterday we got our first significant snow fall of the year. Just 5" of heavy wet stuff. Anyway, it was the first time I could use the new front mount blower on my bx2230. I must say I was very happy with the way it performed. I put the throttle down and it blew like crazy:)...

Although I don't like to show off, I think I will anyway. I have the new BX2750B front mount blower attached and ready to go. Coupled with the rear blade I am ready for the tremendous amount of lake effect snow we get every year. I just had to show off. Thanks

I hope it's ok to post a question like this. I just purchased a impact wrench to use with my Kubota and other things. It calls for air tool oil for lubrication. Is air tool oil different than regular oil?? Also, the impact wrench came with instructions that are of no help to me. I see it...

I have just mounted my new BX2750B front mount blower and I have run it a couple of time to make sure everything was working right. It seems to me that it is noisy. I have lubed the chain and all of the shafts, but it still seems noisy. Can anyone else with a front mount blower tell me if...

Hi guys, I purchased a new front mount Kubota snowblower for my BX2230. When I was mounting it the bracket for the manual chute rotator would not fit onto the valve mount. I called the dealer and he told me that because I have the new valve on my tractor they will have to "make" me a bracket...

Hey TEchman, I took your advise and built a platform on wheels to move my BX implements around. Once I get the hang of using the hook and chains for picking things up I will really be in business I am attaching a photo of my new platform and my baby Thanks for the tip. Steve

He guys, In a couple of weeks I am going to the dealer to pick up a front mount snowblower for my 2230. I am a little concerned though for the following reasons. First off, the dealer told me they will not deliver the blower unless I pay (even though I spent 12 grand last Winter on the...

Since I live in northern michigan I am beginning to think about snow removal again. Last year I used the FEL and Back blade to clear my driveway. This fall, I am purchasing a front mount blower. I was quoted a price of $2,195 for the blower as I purchased the 4 way valve with my bx2230...

Hey Guys, Can anyone tell me what the total length of a bx2230 with a front mount snow blower attached? I have a trailer that is 8'2" in length. My dealer told me they will not deliver a snow blower attachment for free even though I spent 13 grand on my tractor and accessories(go figure), so I...

Guys, I finally had my buddy weld hooks on my bucket. Now I have some painting to do. Has anyone had to pick up a can of Kuobta orange spray paint?? I was wondering how much they get for one. I suppose it must be Kubota brand to match. Steve

I am amazed how well the BX2230 is for mowing. It is a menuverable, nimble machine and the cut you get is something else. I purchased my Bx for moving snow as we get a ton of it around here. The mower deck was a second thought when the dealer said I would pay a lot more for it later if I...

What\'s a fair price?? Now that I have my kubota for snow removal I want to put my snowblower up for sale. What would be a fair price for a 10 year old 5hp Simplicity blower? It has been a good machine and is still in pretty good shape. If I can't get much for it I may store it away, but I...

Does anyone know why Kubota lists two different oil filters for the bx 2230. The one that came on the tractor is smaller than the one (#70000-74034) they gave me to change. They list #15853-32430 to fit the bx2230 also. With the lack of room I have to work with I don't believe a larger filter...

Ok, I went to my local Kubota dealer and purchased the filters and fluids for the 50 hours service on my Bx2230. They also said I should be a new set of O rings for the transmission stainer filter so I did. I thought I would stick with the name brand stuff for the first service. I was...

Hi, I posted this on the "projects" area also, but fellow Kubota owners have been very helpful to me so far, so I thought I would ask this here I had several large trees removed last Fall and the company,(no fault of theirs) put a lot of ruts in my lawn and yard. I want to level these out and...

Hi guys, I had several large tree taken out last Fall, and they beat the heck out of my yard. I have lots of ruts and uneven ground. I bought a BX2230 with a rear blade and FEL mostly for snow removal, but I am starting this yard project now. I have been trying to level the ground before...

What do you guys think would be a fair price on a snowblower attachment to my bx2230? I think the model is BX2750B. I have the hydraulics already as I have a FEL. I am thinking I might get a blower here sometime in the future. Thanks

Hey guys, I know I have seen posts reference raising the backblade on BX tractors, but I am terrible at searching on this site. Could some one clue me in on raising the backblade. I have dug in a couple times moving snow backs back of the drive. Thanks

Ok, I've had my BX2230 since Jan. 10th, and it has snowed almost every day and we continue to get pounded! What good luck:) The BX2230 moves a lot of snow. I am getting the hang of using the bucket at the correct angle and the backblade both forward and pushing with it backwards. I do...

can anyone explain to me how I tighten a leaking hydraulic connection on one of my FEL hoses?? I can't seem to get the nut to turn with out moving the solid metal hose which I didn't think was very good. There is like three different nuts and I want to be sure I'm doing it right. Thanks

Since I'm a newbie in the tractor ownership area, I don't want to get all excited about little noises but I thought I would get you guy's opinion on this. When my Bx2230 runs at idle speed I hear a klunking noise which sounds like it comes from the center of the machine. If I had to guess...

hey guys, How long should I be letting my bx2230 warm up before working her? I have my tractor in a 40* garage moving it out into 7* weather to move snow. How long should I let it run before going to work?? Thanks

Hey Art and Henro. It's here and I'm moving snow!! This is great! Northern Michigan Winters will never get me down again I am trying to find the best methods for moving the snow between the FEL and the RB. Dug in once out by the road. Took a chunk of pavement Little paint transfer But...

Hi guys, I am new at this tractor owning thing and I have a bx2230 with a FEL and backblade on the way. Anyone have tips on moving snow with a FEL from a blacktop drive?? And using the backblade?? Thanks

Well, after reading all the posts on my Local dealer or travel post, and using some of the advice, I am going tomorrow to purchase a Bx2230 from a local dealer. I used the out of state quote to bargin with and the local guy came within 500 bucks, so with travel expenses I would have been about...

Ok, So I price bx2230's with La211 FEL and 54"MMM. Locally I am looking at paying around 13,000. If I travel to Indiana, I have a dealer who says he'll sell me one at 11,250, plus I don't pay sales tax. I live in Northern Mi so competition is limited around here. I know some of the more...

Hi Guys, Does anyone know or possibly dealt with John Williams from Country Sales in Northern Indiana. He is 15 miles south of Rochester. He gave me a good price on a Bx2230 with a FEL and a belly mower. I am in Michigan and was hoping someone could give me feedback on this dealer...

pricing on new Kubota bx2230\'s and bx1830\'s Hellow everyone, I am going to price the new bx models this week and was wondering if anyone has what a fair price would be on a new bx2230 with a la211 loader and a backblade. Thanks, Steve

I am comparing the Kubota bx2200 and the Massey Ferguson gc2300. Does anyone have info on either and which one I should go with??? Thanks guys
