I was going to hold off on posting this until the possible repair was complete but this morning, I received a very interesting phone call from my Kubota Regional Rep. He informed me that my inquiry to Kubota Corp (sent an email about one month ago) was heard and being acted on. I asked Kubota Corp when they were coming out with a fix for the BX 50 series Abrupt Reverse Stop issue. I never heard anything back until Saturday morning. My local dealer called me and said that the regional rep knew of a "fix". My dealer wanted to know if I was interested and told me that he wanted to try it on a used BX that he has at their store. I told him yes and he said he would let me know when someone would be coming out to my farm to do the repair.
Personally, I don't have a whole lot of faith in this "fix" yet but the regional rep said that they have tested it and should correct about 90% of the problem. I wish I got more details about the fix but I did hear him say (I had a bad cell reception) that the fix entailed lowering pressure. I think I have read a few posts about something similar here on TBN, so this is why I am skeptical that this will work. Won't hurt trying!!
I will keep everyone posted on the outcome. Maybe other BX 50 series owners should contact their dealer and ask if they have heard of this fix.
