No demonstration of removal, no numbers, just the idea explained verbally. Useful for BX/B/LX owners who swap loaders often and want a low-effort way to avoid grit contamination.
Posted by the Random Stuff with Joe channel, an owner sharing a personal maintenance habit from his own Kubota BX ownership rather than any professional or dealer perspective.
Slip the caps over a short piece of half-inch copper pipe or PEX so they stay upright and clean instead of flopping around and collecting dirt.
When the loader is connected, the caps hang loose facing upward, so dirt from bucket work falls into them and then gets pressed onto the hydraulics on removal.
The owner is not certain, but had no hydraulic leaks on his BX1880 over three years using this trick and continues it on his new BX tractor.
