kubota bx1830

Hello all. Pls help. I have a BX1830 with around 600 hours on her and have the wandering steering problem. So, I bought the cylinder rebuild kit from Messicks. I have the cylinder off of the tractor and on the workbench. However, I can't get it disassembled. I have tried putting a...

Last night I found a used LA211 FEL an hour away from where I live. It is complete with the valve, and can bolt right up to my tractor. I spoke to the owner over the phone and he said I would need to run some additional hydraulic lines from the pump, etc to make it work. The price seems fair...

I have a BX1830 that I bought new in 2005 without a loader (big mistake). Now has 345 hours in like new condition. I wanted to get a loader for it, ordered an LA211 from dealer, but the estimated arrival time kept getting pushed out, so I cancelled the order. Is is possible to retrofit the...

While plowing this weekend the chains on my right rear wheel came loose then grabbed the arms/levers that engage 4wd. The levers are damaged beyond repair. I need to replace both part 080 and 090 in the attached diagram. My question is the pin, part 120, something that just pulls out with...

I recently changed my fuel filters and used JOHN Deere metal filters at a cost of $6.10 each. kubota filters cost $9.47 each. Talking to the head mechanic at Kubota and he said the metal filters were not good. He said they could cause a problem. He didn't say what. I figure if john Deere uses...

I've been thinking about putting different wheels on my BX1830 54" MMM. I understand that the deck is designed as a floating deck, so that the wheels aren't supposed to be in constant contact with the ground. However, my yard is anything but smooth. The factory wheels take a real beating...

While mowing with my BX1830 which is 5years old and has 780 hours on it . I am mowing and then I experience a slight pause but it keeps going. I have changed the fuel filters , and even added a gas additive. I mow for approx. an hour and then a slight pause. Sometimes I can mow for 2 hours and...

I am looking at a BX1830 in the next few days that has been in the dealers yard for some months. The hour meter reads 6000 but the dealer tells me the reading has to be wrong. The salesman who traded it in was told by the market gardener who owned it, from new, that the meter is wrong and it...

I have an opportunity to buy a BX1830. 60"mmm. 910 hours. It looks really clean. The dealer installed a new Rhino 2405 FEL. The unit was used only for residential mowing. I expect I may need to take a look at the deck pulley bearings (just as a baseline). Everything else looked really...

Hello, I have read this forum for a while and found it has alot of great advice. I currently have an issue with a BX1830. I was pulling a trailer that was probably about 2000lb, not too aggresively, when suddenly I started to get a lot of vibration and feedback in the foot peddle and it...

I just got oil filters for my BX1830 and these things are way smaller than the old one that I have on it now, does anyone know about this. The numbers on the filter is: HH150-32430. Also it's made in China. If anybody else has run into this scenario I would appreciate a reply as it's holding me...

i have a 2005 kubota bx 1830 which is leaking out oil from where the 4 wheel drive shaft comes into the front axel. when i removed the plastic cover, i could see that the shaft that goes into the front axel can actually move in and out about a quarter of an inch. after looking at the parts...

Purchased my 1830 1 year ago. It had low hours and was dealer serviced (Original owner didn't do any of his own maintenance). Other than a dent in the hood, it's only problems were a few electrical problems. I had problems with the headlight not working - fixed that by replacing the...

It seems there are some differences between models when increasing hydraulic relief valve pressure. Here is the information from the BX 1830 / BX 2230 Workshop manual for increasing hydraulic pressure. I used my pictures because the WSM pictures are not very clear. Factory spec. for...

I have a chance to purchase all 4 wheels and turf tires for my BX25 from a BX1830. The tires I am looking to purchase match up size wise except for the fronts that are 18x8.50-8 instead of 18x8.50-10. I don't have any idea if the wheels are the same or the bolt pattern will match up either...

So, with the latest ice storm, I've started looking at generators. I posted to the attachments forum with no real answers. I figured maybe the bota forum would yield more. I have looked at these on the web. NorthStar Winco Baumalight TX The Baumalight is the only one I can find with 11...

So, with the latest ice storm, I've started looking at generators. I have looked at these on the web. NorthStar Winco Baumalight TX The Baumalight is the only one I can find with 11 pto hp required. The others require 14. The bx is 13.7. If I'm only pulling 2-3k kw will my tractor be...

Ok im about to purchase a bx1860 in a month or so and I really like everything about it but the tire sizes. I really wish is had the bigger tires on it like all the other bx models, what I don't understand is why on the 1830 it came with the 26x12x12 rears and 18x8.5x8's on the front while this...

Hello, I'm new to this site and trying to get some advice. I'm thinking of trading in my 2005 bx130 (it only has 70hrs, mower, post hole digger, snow blower, and FEL)and its always been stored inside. Any ideas what I can expect for a trade in?(I need a bigger tractor) I'm looking at the...

I know these two machines are pretty much the same except for the HP. I'm a newbe to this sort of thing so please excuse what may seem to be a dumb question, but is the difference in HP noticeable? I will mainly be using the machine for mowing and would be using a 54" deck, no real heavy work.

Hi all, I am now interested in a bx1830 at my local dealer. He sold his last bx1500, but the 1830 is probably a bit nicer. I can get it out the door for 13,700 including rear mower, fel, and box blade. I kinda need a hoe at least for a few projects, the dealer said some of his customers dig...

R4\'s on BX1830 has anyone put a set of R4's on BX1830. If so what were they.

For my small 1/2 ac lot, I'm wondering if a BX1500 with a fel would give me enough capacity to bring back a few dozen yards of material like topsoil, 3/4" drain rock, etc... The lot is flag shaped and I'll be getting the material dumped by the road. I have a few hundred feet to take it where...

My brother has a BX1830, and he wants to put a small turbo on it. He put some Banks kit on his Dodge Cummins and gets 500++ hp out of it, so he thinks that he can modify his 3 cyl as well. I'm sure he can do the plumbing, but I wonder if that little motor, as well made as it is, will handle...

I purchased a new BX1830 this past March 1, and on June 1, I placed an order for a service manual and haven't received it yet. I kept asking about the manual and the dealer keeps saying that its on order! Finally I e-mailed Kubota in Japan and told them of my situation. I also said that I was...

Hey guys! I thought I saw a post recently about the price of a grill guard for the BX series tractors, but can't find it. Anybody have a rough idea what they go for? I saw one for sale, but don't know what a reasonable price might be. Thanks.

Greetings! I've been reading for a while...lots of great information...thanks. I'm getting ready to do my 50 hour service & have a question about the transmission oil strainer. The manual says to rinse it with non-flammable solvent. Can anyone shed some light on a specific product to use...

Very new to the site and the tractor world, I have been looking at few the last couple of months and have a few questions.. I will be mowing about 6 acres of grass in VA and have been looking at the above tractors. I can get a used B7510 with 50 hours or go new with the BX model after setup...

Just curious if there's any differences between the little BX and it's larger siblings that aren't apparent from the spec's? The brochure spec's detail the smaller engine and fuel tank, smaller tires, lower ground clearance, smaller dimensions and slightly tighter turning radius. Are there any...

I'm looking at two tractors - both of which are in-stock at two different dealers. The first is a new BX2230 with 60" MMM for $9950 at a dealer close to home. The second is a new BX1830 with 54" MMM for $8,985 about 70 miles from home. My dilemma is that the one acre that I mow is heavily...

As a new member here at TBN I have read many posts of various members with superb knowledge. I don't seem to find many comments about the BX1830. Is this not one of the more popular tractors ? Just curious...

Greetings everyone. I just acquired a brand new set of AG tires that came off a BX1830. Knowing that they are slightly larger than what is called for in the BX1500 spec sheet, I not only purchased them (online), but when they came in, I had my dealer fill them with Calcium. I got the call...

As a new member this being my third posting, I must say if anyone is thinking about buying a new tractor this is the place to get valuable information. I was originally thinking about buying a G2160 until I spent a couple of hours today with a tremendous dealer. After spending several hours...

I am looking into a Bx1830 tractor with FEL and 60mmm. what would a fair price be or a great price any info would be great Thank you

I've found that the both the BX1830 and B7410 have 18 hp diesel engines. What are some of the other differences between these? Think one might be the ability to go into a regular-sized garage door with one vs. the other. Can measure that. Or will the folding ROPS easily fold? Ralph

pricing on new Kubota bx2230\'s and bx1830\'s Hellow everyone, I am going to price the new bx models this week and was wondering if anyone has what a fair price would be on a new bx2230 with a la211 loader and a backblade. Thanks, Steve
