Kubota BX1500 Transmission Problem?

brown, welcome to TBN. :)

The description of the problem is vague, but since it "feels" different in 4WD, it sounds like a tire slipping on the ground or a wheel slipping inside the tire. If the tires are aired-up, you can chalk a reference mark on wheel/tire to see if the bead slips.

Provided you have enough hydraulic fluid, seems unlikely anything is "starving" the HST after only 200 hours. If you search on BX transmissions, you will find they generally either work fine or don't work at all. We basically just keep clean oil and filters and pray to the hydraulic gods. There really isn't anything else to adjust or maintain.

I think I'm having the same problem, although 4wd & Diff lock don't make any difference. It seems to have started after changing my trans fluid. I used UDT. I'm going to try switching to SUDT to see if it helps.

Thanks for the help to all...problem appears to have been low air pressure. Pumped up the tires and pushed/lifted 22in snow with no problems.
