the reason Kubota makes theirs light is to be competitive in a market where most people wanna use these tractors for mowing their lawns and doing residential work as well as landscapers who wanna trailer them around with out having to have a tandem axle teller or anything real heavy duty. the reason Kubota turns down their pressure so low compared to competitors is because the bx is much lighter than say that of the John Deere 1025r or 1023e. and more are all able to handle it and Carrie the load.

the hoses, fittings, cylinders, front axle. increasing your pressure slightly above spec ain’t gonna do nothing and I’ll tell you why. I got 5k total into the entire tractor and loader if something breaks I’ll fix it, to me it’s worth the risk, I’m not buying a 10-20k tractor for a little more lift when I don’t even need that much lift to begin with. Wasn't worth the hassle for a hundred pounds.įor 1. I'd appreciate any advise because I'm very meticulous they way I take care of my equipment,boats, cars, etc, and this is kind of embarrassing. File the spring? I have no clue how to get the seat out other then try to thread a bolt into it and pull, or carefully drilling it out, thus destroying it. First is 2300PSIG to much for this tractor? Maybe the spring is to tight and the cap just wasn't that tight from the factory. The original must of moved when I first disassembled it and I drove it in to far or cocked when re tightening it, their are holes on the side of the seat cage that don't exactly alien with the drain hole in the casting. I ordered a new one to see what I'm up against. Everything inside the relief moves easily,spring ,poppet, except the relief valve seat.

Took out all shims and got it to go down to 2300PSIG so the relief is functioning. Tried it with the stock shims and still 2500PSIG. Took off the cap, installed it and retest showed 2500PSIG. My less than 100 hr BX23S was reading 1750PSIG so I was going to add the 0.2 mm shim to bring it up 80PSI more. tale of an owner who thought adjusting a BX relief valve was always simple.īought one of those hydraulic pressure gauges with a shim kit.
