I don’t have a definitive answer to that, but I used it a LOT! And hard. The dealer is going to explain some of the causes in my Thursday video. I wear noise cancelling earbuds so I didn’t even hear anything when it broke. I just went to use it and it didn’t work. 🤷🏼♂️
Well that saved you a few bucks, and I like the new shoes, I can't compare the R14's to anything, but they are good in the snow and dirt. I needed them for my steep driveway and property. I'll be back for the transmission teardown :)
I know it's up to you to read the manual, it's ashame they didn't go over some of the basic fundamentals when they delivered it to you. Especially if you're were a first time tractor owner. Good luck, glad they covered it for you, that's rare. $20, I hear you can't even get a can of spray paint for that price! Thanks for sharing
Oh I definitely don’t blame anyone. I understood pretty well how the system works and I was always pushing the limits. I don’t believe I abused it, so I think warranty was fair, but I also think I need to dial it back a bit from now on. Thanks for watching!
Lucas, your channel is my go to for BX videos these days. No other channel covers what YOU do, and much thanks for all the time you devote to this channel of yours, to help others. And that dealership, wow, i wish every person could be THAT lucky to have a such a GREAT dealership like you have. My dealer is ok, but it could be better. Thanks for the video brother. Can`t wait to see the transmission video, and the R14 tire comparison video. I`ve been thinking real hard about getting the R14`s, your video may tip me over if they work as good as some say.
Your Dealer is far a few between one of the good ones, if I ever need Warranty Service I'd gladly travel from East TN to see them ! The BX Diff issue is pretty common unfortunately, luckily there aren't many other issues with the BX.
just a heads up, put some kind of protective plate over the hydrostat fan !!, its a common problem with sticks, rocks, what-not to get up to the fan blade, and break it !.
Dealer support for your machines is a valuable thing to have and with them being local that is a plus. Some guys have to make a two hr trip (one way) to get parts. We used to go up there when they were a New Holland dealer , now it is a trip to Jackson Oh and Fedex for parts !
@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead I have not been up that way in a while ,,, all way`s wondered about them(LS). Looked like their dealers were rental companies to feed stores , I saw or read some where a car dealer was selling them. Just how good of serving will you get ,, like you did with your tractor ,,, have the been trained in the repair of these machines ? The dealer puts a lot of money into their mechanics yearly to be up to date. I know Case Eqpt. has training all of the time that dealers has to send their guys to. Yes Davis is a good company , No complaints here !
Great video, so I have an older BX and last year I hooked up a garden tiller to it, it would turn it and even dig a little but eventually stop turning without bogging engine, talk to someone at Kubota and they told me there was no clutch for the PTO but apparently there is!
That is excellent Lucas. Nothing like having service people that take good care of you. I have had the same experience with Huckabones here in Cobden Ontario. Fantastic people who just want you to be happy with the tractor. I will definitely be watching on Thursday. I will patiently wait for the info on the tires.
Good snag on the R14s....Davis Equipment treated you right!! Tractor Hard! 🚜💪
Good folks! 👍
take it from someone who has used a kubota diesel side by side they are kick ass hands down
Man don’t tempt me! I don’t have that kind of money!!! Lol
Nice Vid !
Thanks!
Any idea why the diff lock broke and what were the symptoms of the breakage?

Yeah, I was so relieved that it didn’t cost me thousands!
Having a good dealer is just as important as the brand of tractor. Thanks Lukas
Absolutely no question! That is a big part of how I ended up with a Kubota.
Right away I noticed the R14 tires in your "stay tune" clip, you have a great dealer Lucas👍🏻. Can't wait to see the next video 👍🏻🙋🏼♂
😊 I was so excited! Looking forward to getting them in the mud!
@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead I'm curious to see what the inside of the transmission looks like and how the braking system works 👍🏻have a great week Lucas

Glad it’s all fixed up and ready to roll on those new shoes. Can’t trust that BX diff lock.
*Keep on tractoring!*
Thanks, Jon! Definitely going to be a little gunshy now. Great machine, but I’ll admit I’ve pushed it harder than I should…

I appreciate the kind words! I am enjoying the experience and just trying to share what I learn. I can’t wait to do some testing in those tires!
I Friggan knew it Go KY H arrodsburg the 1st permanent settlement west of the Allegheny Mountains 😊
Lucas, i wish i lived closer to your dealer. They would have a new customer. But a trip from NYS to there, kinda puts the brakes on for that, lol.
The diff lock is a poor design that Mobutu should have fixed long ago. We owners should file a lawsuit for relief.
I’ll be looking for that video. I love my BX
Thanks for watching! 👍
Awesome video, looking forward to Thursday. I bought my BX with R14's, and I am pretty happy with them, even plowing in the snow.👍
Thanks for watching! I’ve heard lots of good things about the R14s. Can’t wait to put them through the paces!

SOUNDS LIKE A SEWING

They really are great! I will definitely be taking it a little easier on the diff lock from now on.
How many hours? I had a smilar failure with a bagger PTO separation and cracked housing. Mine was 40 hours, now due for 100h service.
About 480hrs. I’d say they were 480 pretty hard working hours too….
Glad you got the BX took care of and only $20 bucks can’t beat that, plus new shoes! Now time to put it to work! Great video Lucas always enjoy
Thanks! Weather is breaking, lots to do! Going to be some good times!
Dude those R-14's are the bomb.
A whole week without a tractor sucks 😢
Thanks! I’m excited to put them to work!
R14's look good...interesting to see comparison
Thanks! I think it will be a fun video. I’m making plans.
just a heads up, put some kind of protective plate over the hydrostat fan !!, its a common problem with sticks, rocks, what-not to get up to the fan blade, and break it !.
Great advice! I’ve already replaced mine once. (Still haven’t put a skid plate on…🤦♂️)
@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead yep..i've read a ton of horror stories of bx owners getting that fan blade broken, bad design leaving it open like that.
Trailer went to the dealer twice any thing else other than new shoes come home ? 😁
Lol. I think I made it pretty well! 😄
Look forward to the BX internals video!
Thanks!
Love the vids man. Keep up the good work
Thanks! I appreciate it!

Absolutely. The dealer was a big part of my decision.
@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead I am sure you did,,,, Did you look at LS ?
@@thekycoffeebean I did and the company that sold them doesn’t even carry them anymore. I’m glad I went with Kubota.

Fabulous fox and very nice of your dealer! Looking forward to the scientific tests, and awesome dealer!
Thanks, Ross!

Yeah, I was very happy that they invited me in to film the internals. I learned a lot.

Glad you have a great dealer too! 👊
Glad they looked after you, mate. I’m hoping my dealer takes care of me when mine arrives. Cheers from 🇦🇺🇦🇺
I hope they do too! Enjoy your new machine! 👊
Glad they took care of you! Thanks for the information on the powertrain warranty. I’m only at 1.5 years on mine .
I was surprised to hear I was still under warranty. That was great news!
You are a lucky man. Nothing like having a good dealer that takes care of their customers.
No doubt! Good dealers create loyal customers!
Man I love your videos! Great job, great dealership!
Thank you! I appreciate that!
