Had any problems with your BX2350?

David, when using your procedure on my three point I only get noise then a fraction of an inch more on the lever and up it comes fast. I complained to my dealer and to his credit he sent a man 80 miles to my place. After playing with it he said it was normal. It is interesting though that your three point works different then mine.

The 50 series have the 1/4" function. Mine was all messed up and needed adjustment. While not perfect it limits lever travel to acheive slow travel.

55 hours of joy on it up to now and only 3 things bad;

1- replace the seat for the new model.
2- the HST pedal damper just unscrewed and hag down, not a big fix
3- to pay it every month.

Why did you take the damper off the HST pedal?

No, the rod eye of the damper unscrew by vibration, I imagine. I fix it with locktite and screwing back.

Mine fell off also - although I did notice the reverse sudden stop was not as bad when it was off....

Several:
At around 10 hours, I couldn't turn the thing off with the key! Turned out a harness had been pinched during assembly that shorted the fuel shut off solenoid. House call and then a tow-in to fix.
Not long after that, I noticed that the tractor would keep moving even after releasing the HST pedal. Reverse was very abrubt, but forward would drive itself on to the trailer and the brake pedal worked hard to slow it. dealer made a house call and told me it was possibly my driving style. I doubted it, but was willing to watch how I used the pedal. Often 2700+ rpm, coming off the pedal fast would make it better, but if i tried to finesse lets say while I'm trying to hitch a trailer, put on the loader, pick up something with the loader, etc., I would hit stuff. My barn door, my old Range Rover, trees.
Dropped it off, they kept it about 12 hours, told me they made some adjustment and drove it around for 1/2 hour and it was ok. I picked it up and had the same problem driving on to the trailer.
I've also lost two thumb nuts for the covers. Applied Loctite to the threads...
Lastly, I can not get it started when cold-below 25f*. I've added anti-gel to teh fuel, but almost everytime lately that I've wanted to use it, I have to drag it into the shop to warm up. I don't have a block heater, but I don't think that would help enough. Salesman says the Kubota is one of the better starting diesels, service manager says it's the worst and gives me a 10 step process to get it started that involves several glow plug cycles and cranking until the battery is almost dead (not really).
I was so excited about my first new tractor purchase, and now I'm a little disappointed. Wish I'd kept my third hand Gravely...

Dude! That story stinks! I wonder how it is that you can end up with such a bum unit. Not doubting your story at all, but it would be nice if the dealer (or Kubota) could come knock on your door and say, "Wow, man. We sure gave you one of our worse examples. How's about if we give you this other one over here and start all over again."

Given all the things I've experience personally and heard in this forum, it sounds like you're experiences are not in the majority. And you have every right to be a little torqued after the money you spent.

Hope she starts holding together for you a little better.

One of the reasons I purchased a Kubota was a result of friend's recommendations and having used their equipment.
I'm frustrated, but not yet mad. Truthfully, the dealer has tried and I don't doubt their abilities to resolve this, and we're not there yet, but this seems like a lot of issues for a less than one year old, 33 hour farmette implement.
I work from home restoring and maintaining Land Rovers and just don't have enough room to store my BX in the heated part of the barn all winter.
