For sure, I fully expected to check the level and move on. At least I know I will have to cover the vent plugs from now on when in storage. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching, Jason

Thanks Edward. I grew up on tractors my whole life, and love running them, even if they are tiny. Jason

Thanks for watching. I think the key point of my concern is, if that is what it should look like, why was it so overfilled. That is why it made a mess out of the breather. Since I flushed it and put new oil in it I have tilled roughly 20 hours with it. There is no additional mess at the vent plug. So it either was grossly overfilled or had additional fluids mixed in.

It sure is. a few hours go a long way to avoid having to buy parts. Thanks for watching.

I haven't had an issue since. Hope it was a one time thing

That's Awesome Mr Handyman!!. I love this tiller, and I have put it to work. Make sure you slip that clutch before putting it to work. Internal tractor parts get expensive. The Pats system was a good choice for me, and with the King Kutter, needed with the narrow pin width. Thanks for watching!! Take Care, Jason

@@HuserHelpers I didn't realize that slipping the clutch was important on new equipment, so thanks for the advice.

@@TheHandymanNNY for sure. Storage rusting causes them to stick. Pull the four bolts to take off the triangle shield and then measure your spring length.

Yeah, it was for sure water. My guess is this tiller sat on the lot for a good while, and water got in through the vent. based on how much came out, I would say it was about 50% mix. I will work the tiller this season and then change both gear boxes oil again. I also plan to take those vent plugs and put bags over them to keep water out. Thanks for watching and commenting. Jason

@@HuserHelpers Welcome Sir and I do think Sir that will do it, also you can have your tiller on wooden pallet so it would not be collecting moisture from the ground as much too ( having the air circulating around ) 👍😊🍻

@Boscovius actually per King Kutter it is 80-90 weight gear lube. It had water it in from the breather vent.

yeah, Simple Green is my friend. Luckily my garage floor is sealed, so that cleans up easy. Thanks for watching.

Great idea. For now I zip tied a sandwich bag over the top. I will change it up when I get some time, and will for sure look into your idea. Thanks for watching, Jason

Mine is a BX2660 which is 25 hp at engine and like 19hp at pto. Tiller was around $1500 new last year. Thanks for watching. Jason

Yes. To be fair, I don't think it was shipped with water. I ran it hard on day and it rained that night. I think it drew in water as it cooled. It is a great tiller.

@@HuserHelpers I just bought A tartar tiller and when I took the gear cover off a bunch of water with a little bit of oil came out all over my floor I think somehow they condensate maybe and because there’s a bear on top it does get air in there I’m not sure but mine was definitely holding water

Yes. It is more or less rubber. About the same thickness as an inner tube.

Actually, I contacted King Kutter and they indicated it is gear oil. I agree corn head flowable grease would work well. If you look at how much was in the gear box, it was really full. My guess is I ran it one night and when I got done, it rained and the cooling allowed the vent to draw in moisture. Thanks for watching, Jason

I pretty sure there was water in it as well. It was very much overfill.

I just bought a brand new one. I haven’t called them but I’m with frank here it’s bearing grease in mine to. Pto gear box had some water in it when I put gear oil in it. I’m rolling with it b

I had called KK last year and they said they use a 00 grease in it. No worries - mine was the same on day one.

For sure. I thought about that after changing it. I had the gear oil at the house. Thanks for watching, Jason

I'm afraid I don't understand your comment

What do you mean by lower 3 point hitches? Like the Pats system?

@@HuserHelpers There is a category 0 3 point hitch. Category refers to size.

@@supporterofeverythingyouli6255 Thanks for the clarity. I think there is a good application for having quick hitches for compact tractors. I agree on Cat0 though, as there are limited implements and even tractors with this set-up. On the Cat 1, for me, I am happy with the Pat's system. I know a lot of people love their QH, and for them, great, but for me there are some trade-offs that I just don't want. Growing up on a 3000 acre farm in Kansas, I will say there were only a few application for a quick hitch on the 100-200hp tractors (cat 2), but today those are almost non-existent. The times we would use one was with Rotary Hoe, NH3 applicator, Row Cultivator. Now days, the applicator is pull type, we don't use the rotary hoe or row cultivator anymore as it is chemical weed control now days. Thanks for watching, Jason

Disagree. Pat’s QH makes my life a lot easier changing implements for the different jobs on my small farm.
