Overview

Stands out because it's built around a real mistake: the owner accidentally filled his BX23S with cheap, incompatible 334 hydraulic fluid and is correcting it here. The video walks through draining the old fluid, swapping the filter (with cost details, $107 for Super UDT2 and a genuine Kubota filter), and cleaning the hydraulic screen. A practical cautionary walkthrough most useful to BX owners doing their own fluid maintenance.

An owner-operator hobby homesteader sharing firsthand experience from their own property, self-described as willing to show mistakes alongside the fixes.
