Take a look around here and you'll find both Bro-Tek and BXpanded listed for a number of things.

I just got my Bro-Tek skid plate last week. I haven't installed it yet, but was so afraid of trashing the tranny fan that it was one of the first things i bought. As I'm pushing over lots of brush and saplings right now and saw some potential fan busters left standing, I thought it would be a prudent item to buy. I still have the mower mounted so I'm somewhat protected, but I'll be removing it soon to narrow the tractor working width for use with the loader/backhoe.

Sure wish SUDT oil was available in Australia cause i would use it . Due to warm climate 30f to 100f i guess Kubota reckons UDT is sufficient .

You'll actually find it's because they can't be bothered ; just like all the
accessories they don't keep either . Use JD 10w30 HyGard trans oil.
That's the closest to SUDT . UDT is re packaged 20w and not the factory
recommended multiblend. The revs go 250rpm faster with the correct oil.
The quicker flow rate is important for small HST pumps , which is why JD
source the correct stuff , but then they give a proper warranty too ; not like
the Kubota Aus. tossers ! I get all my non-liquid requirements sent from
CA. Most of Australia's temp isn't any different to large parts of the US , Spain ,
Africa , South America ; and they can get SUDT !
You'll also find their engine oil is base rubbish ; go to Super Cheap Auto and get
some high detergent Castrol RX super ; designed for low pressure fuel pump
/ high soot mini engines .

Have you bought spacers for the rear wheels to increase track and stability
when using the loader on a backhoe machine ?

Nice looking spacers OrangeRidge! can you give any details regarding source and pricing? I chicken out at 25 degrees sideslope

Bruere, I assume that you did your own servicing, speaking of warranty check your warranty booklet coz mine says that the tractor has to be serviced at least once every 12 months by an authorised dealer to maintain coverage, also use genuine parts ... fluids can be Kubota or equivalent spec ... that's mine understanding anyway

Thanks! that's a very good price ... will act while the dollar is strong :thumbsup:

You'll get a much improved cut with the wider rears . Less flapping
from side to side of the outer blades --- the Mohican effect , as I call it !

ASsoon as my BX25 eng oil starts to discolour i am going to change it .

Then you'll undoubtedly be changing it every ten hours. Diesel engine oil darkens much more quickly than in a gas engine. Don't let it bother you.
