... I am curious, has anyone else paid for or priced out a 50 hour service for a BX24? ...
Here is what the dealer will do if you ask for the "Kubota Care" 50 hour service for your BX24:
-install new oils (transmission & hydraulic, motor),
-install new filters (HST, engine, fuel, ),
-adjust (tire pressure, clutch, brakes),
-top off (front axle oil, coolant),
-clean (radiator screen, air filter),
-check or test (various nuts & bolts, hardware, gauges, lights, charging, battery, glow plugs),
-grease the fittings and lube the linkages,
-conduct a general visual inspecion of your BX24,
-fill out the "Kubota Care" checklist for you.
Here is what this would have cost you during the Summer of 2007 (before taxes):
-Labour (2.5 hrs).... $187.50
-Parts..................... $ 98.95
-Pick up/Delivery..... $ 50.00
-Total ......................$336.45
As you can see, if you do it yourself, you will save about 70% of the total cost. Should you elect to use non Kubota lubricants and filters, the savings could be be even greater.
