How Much Fluid Will I Lose? Change HST Filter - Screen Tips - Kubota BX Maintenance Series Part 1

Maintenance25 hp & underKubota BX23S

Overview

A hobby homesteader walks through changing the HST filter and pulling/cleaning the transmission screen on a Kubota BX23S, two tasks often bundled but rarely shown together. The video answers the specific question of how much fluid you'll actually lose (about a quart), names the exact filter part number and fluid type, and shows the clutch-alignment-tool trick for plugging the screen hole solo. Best for BX owners tackling this job without a helper.

An owner-operator channel documenting hands-on homestead work, though note that the filters used were supplied by a local Kubota dealership that sponsors this maintenance series.
