BX 1860 Hydraulic Woes

[kubotaman83837]

I have a BX24 and I had the same issue. I found out there was a recall on the tubes as there was a milling issue and they were blowing the O-rings. The dealer replaced all of the loader hydraulic tubes. I have had no issues since

My BX1860 came with a leak, that is for sure. I traced it back, found the loose fitting and tightened it myself. I was quite unhappy to have taken delivery of a unit with an obvious leak. Kept an eye on it for awhile, but never had another issue with it or anything else on the little beastie.

ARe you sure its a busted line?? Could it be just leaking. I remember reading here somewhere that Kubota had some bad blocks and no matter how many times you replaced seals or lines it would releak until the block was replaced. Of course I may have read the post wrong. It was some time ago

Absolutely positive....the first line I changed myself...it was split for 1/2" ....I'm not talking a drip here I'm talking spraying out to the point where if you aren't quick you'll have a cavitation of the hydraulic pump. The replaced the line and the fitting that it goes to on the third repair in January....this is the fourth repair a month later and the dealer said they will get it for sure this time. :confused2:

I hope they do the warranty will be off in a few months and if this tractor isn't any more dependable than that it will end up going....this is crazy.
