This obviously hasn't passed the smell test at Kubota QC.

So they get lifted out to allow the shanks to move forward and decouple their notches from the frame. Ok, again a different system than my through-bolts, but learned something new.

Where/How do those clips fit in there? They're not visible in the 2nd photo of the assembly. My BB1560 has through-pins with lock clips. A different animal.

Pics after installed or never happened 😁.

1300 on my 2017 B2650HSD. About 200/year.

With the boom pointing straight back, dipper and bucket curled, lower the boom until the bucket contacts the ground/floor. Lower both stabilizers until they're about 8" from the floor. Now gently press the boom control lever forward to further press the boom down until you see the backhoe frame...

Painting it white means you're not in country that deals with tractors and SNOW. Blaze orange is the best.

"Manitoba Maples" around our yard and 5 spigots with pails from ebay. Have been making some for nearly 10 years now.

I let my 5 Manitoba maple tap buckets hang through the snowstorm. Dump the snow out tomorrow, and the week forecast looks good for flow. Had a couple of productive days so far, anyway. Fresh box elder syrup on the morning yogurt is the best!

Actually the scene and lighting with the .5 wide angle setting on my phone did impress me at the time! A keeper, for sure.

Getting a 10"+ dump here in SE MB last night and today. We really need the moisture, but I didn't really need the aggravation of removing the loader and hooking up that blower unit and subframe. So today I'll crawl around under the 'bota in the shelter while this storm tapers off and get the...

My B2782B snowblower lift cylinder began leaking and could not hold position under load anymore, so looked into taking it apart so I ordered the Kubota rebuild kit. The part number I believe is stamped into the cylinder somewhere. I could look the info up if needed, both the cyl and rebuild kit...

It may be a bit colder here yet in S Manitoba than N Idaho and I also rarely need the block heater. A few times at least I've forgotten to plug it in when -20C even colder, yet tried and it ain't pretty but a good long glow and she coughed to life. I attribute at least some of its ability to...

Others here know hydraulics and their controls way better than me, but what I'm hearing is: - the whine occurs when operating the loader, no HST in use - it only happens once the hydraulics are at operating temperature, i.e. normal working hot. then my initial focus would be the loader...

Kubota SUDT2 (Premium UDT here in Canada), Kubota filters, maintain according to service schedule. This is what I do. The whine is still there, but lessened. And it purrs a bit quieter after a fresh change. The tractor still hauls ass pulling and doing other hydraulics work with that trans and...
