Hello Kubota owners! So for 18 yrs I've used an old 1950 Ferguson TO-20 for all of my tractoring needs on my small 3 acre place. Mainly just maintaining about 250 yards of gravel driveway, pulling out stumps and rocks, pushing snow around, etc. All with a rear-mounted blade with no position control and using the draw bar. Always wanted a little Kubota B with a FEL. Well... excited to say I finally acquired one. I've only had a chance to get about 6hrs of play-time on it so far!
I didn't have my rear tires filled. I figured that I've got a ballast box with weight, and I wanted to be able to drop that and have a lighter weight for working in the soft pasture should I decide to mow with it.
It's my first experience with a HST other than riding lawnmowers. I know that they are notoriously noisy, but I'm trying to determine if what I'm hearing is acceptable or if I need to adjust the way I'm using it. I know that if I heard transmission noise like this from my lawn mower, I'd assume it was being seriously overworked.
Also, the position control range 1-4 does nothing. The 3-point does not begin to lift until I get to 5 or so. Is this normal?
Pretty stoked new owner here!
