Well, well. Been quite a while since I've been on this forum. Just had my BX 2200 power steering hose fail for the first time. Was not aware that this was a problem until I noticed hydraulic fluid leaking down from the engine compartment (actually it was the hoses passing near the compartment)...

Well, I drove myself crazy for the last 2 days trying to resolve a soot problem on my BX-2200. It's a 2001 with 440 hours and I never, ever had a problem like this. As the photo attachments show, it appears there is soot everywhere on my BX, even in the wheels. I had noticed this right after...

I have a 2001 BX2200 with approximately 350hrs. It developed a hydro leak last year. It leaks only when the pump is running (i.e. all the time while powered up). I took it a dealer in Winchester, Virginia and they called me back. Seems like the problem is the hydrostatic pump housing (HST)...

I have a 2001 BX2200 with approximately 350hrs. It developed a hydro leak last year. I took it to my original dealer, he power washed it and ran it, couldn't find a leak. 1 week later the leak was there, guess it started to accumulate again. It leaks only dynamically and does not leak statically...

Well, about a month and a half ago I saw a terrific deal from Harbor Freight on a 7.5KW generator with a Honda 13hp engine (electric start and auto-idle) for $749.99. I couldn't believe what I was reading so I immediately placed an order for one via the web site. I received an email confirmation...

BX clears neighbor\'s drive! Here's the photo of my neighbor's 300' gravel/stone driveway I was talking about previously. Tricky trying not to get too much blade bite into the gravel but with a bit of practice, it worked. Bob

Well, after clearing the 30 inches from my driveways and parking area, I am more than pleased with my purchase of the BX2200/FEL/MMM. The tractor performed spectacularly with no problems encountered moving and scraping the snow. My purchase of the FEL (which I thought might be questionable for...

Well, I'm finally at rest. After buying the BX2200 with MMM and FEL in 2001 and not getting to use the FEL for clearing snow on my property last winter, I can now proudly say that "I got my monies worth". Boy it's great with the 3 snowstorms we've had this season and not having to spend hours...

I have some questions regarding the practice of mixing oil with diesel fuel as some folks do. Since my questions were not answered on previous post, I am reposting. here they are: Being a newbie to diesel engines (pretty good with gas) I have heard some mention that they add a quart or two of...

Anyone know the size of the BX2200 fuel lines? This is needed info for ordering the Tiny Tach. Thanks Bob

Lubrication points on 60\" and 54\" MMM For all of those interested in properly maintaining their MMM's on the BX's, I thought I would post what Kubota recommends. According to the Kubota Mower manual the lube points for the BX series (RCK60B-22BX and RCK54_22BX) 60" and 54" mmm respectively...

Cruise Control for BX\'s Anyone know if there is some sort of cruise control for BX's? Looking for possibly "add on" devices or do we have to fabricate our own? Any ideas? Bob

While waiting for my dealer to receive and install the new steering cylinder, I tried to mow my front yard last evening. Well, the problem has gotten alot worse, I need approx. 3 turns on the steering wheel to regain control and still it is a hit and miss proposition. This is really a DANGEROUS...

Well guys, we finally have a fix for the previously posted BX2200 steering response mystery that redneck and I complained about. After no luck with my dealer trying to solve the steering problem with the BX, I decided to take matters into my own hand and called Kubota Technical Service in...

My new 2200 was delivered the other day. I can’t believe the quality of the cut (mower) as well as the quality of the BX in general. I can see why people are buying these things. The FEL is a joy to operate, very easy to install or remove (I remove it when cutting grass), My dealer said he had...
