Dirt Moving BX25 Two Months & 100 Hours

[Kayakin2]

Two Months and 100 Hours & my projects continue! :laughing:
Herb, Tomato, pole bean, pea, asparagus, onion, potato & strawberry raised beds now exist where rocks, grass and weeds were before. Flower, shrub & Hosta plants are surrounded by select boulders and veggies try to survive the 90+* F days after being planted. The improved path behind the workshop leads to the former back pasture now featuring a circular garden and newly tilled rows sprouting corn, onions, potatoes, winter squash, pumpkins and sunflowers. Time to perform the 100 hour service!

Well done!! You sure have kept your BX busy in the past two months. The rock garden looks great, did you have to move the rocks very far or were they close by?

Looks great but I recognize a lot of hand and back work and not just seat time in these pictures. It''s taken me 6 years to get to finish type work.

Rocks are everywhere! Separating them from the dirt was the hard part!:laughing: Some came from the entrance to the woods trail [project in-process], pulled up from the path to the lower pasture by the box blade and others discovered while tilling! My wife does not allow me to move her favorite boulders! They range from 3 to 30 feet around!

What I need is a robot I can work by remote control to do the hand and back work! :thumbsup: Hey! A new Kubota product for you to consider! :laughing:

Now for the 100 hour service! Looks like I can do that too!
Thanks for the encouragement, JT :thumbsup:

Hey, you run out of work, you are welcome to come visit Illinois for a couple of weeks. Bring the BX and I'll supply the diesel. Matter of fact, I'll supply the BX.

I also like what you have done with the rocks, the first pictue looks really nice.

Kayakin2,
I thought I worked my rear end off but you have me beat many times over. Feel free to call me a lazy ******* any time. Great work.

How long did it take and don't you wish you had trailered it to a dealer and have them do it?

What did you do at the 100 hours when I finally reach there in a year or so.

 

[Kayakin2]

What did you do at the 100 hours when I finally reach there in a year or so.

JT, I did not take pics but ... at 100 hours on my BX25 I did the following:

1. Performed Engine start system checks to ensure tractor will not start and will kill the engine in all unsafe conditions or if you leave the seat with PTO engaged. [Page 72]

2. Grease spot under floor mat and battery terminals checking and cleaning all wiring and screens in the process. [71]

3. Checking all wheel bolts for the correct torque. [73]

4. Check battery condition [73]

5. Clean the air cleaner element and remove all dust, dirt & grass. [75]

6. Check both fuel filters and the condition of hoses & connections. [75]

7. Check the fan belt tension & reset it if needed. [76]

8. Adjust the HST neutral spring setting by resetting the adjustment to ensure the tractor stops moving when you remove your foot from the forward or reverse pedal. [76]

9. Adjust the brake pedal to ensure it works in the best depression range. [77]

and I also attached the back hoe and ...

10. Grease all spots on both my FEL and BH checking all points for wear all bolts for tightness and hydraulic lines for condition.

Basically, do what it says on pages 71 thru 77 of the manual!
