https://youtube.com/shorts/2mBqk6XL5tM?si=NRri-Rw1vOBUWzdW Haven’t done this many times so hopefully I did it correctly. Sounded like you started at idle, so that’s what I did with mine. Idling or pulling hard, there’s no mistaking the engine is a diesel. I’ve never overheated mine and the way...

Did a bit of cleanup around the houses and chipped the limbs and a couple small dead trees by our private road. Also picked up trash on our public road frontage. That had nothing to do with the Kubota’s though. I don’t quite understand why folks chuck their McDonald's meal deal remnants out the...

I relatively sure that question wasn’t serious, but serious answer: in some limited circumstances that can work. My brother and I co-own a couple of implements and share more equipment than we co-own. Probably would do more of that than we do now if we lived closer than 2 hours apart. It allows...

Disclaimer: there are people on this forum and in this thread that know WAY more about this topic than I do so if they disagree, listen to them. Hesitant starting and rough idling on a diesel after a possible but not confirmed overheat, a compression check might be in order if you’re concerned...

There should be a shoulder on the bolt. The shoulder has to be a little thicker than the blade and the hole in the blade has to be a slip fit on the shoulder for the blade to swing like it’s supposed to. Kind of doubt you could get the nut on at all if you somehow didn’t get the bolt’s shoulder...

So now that you’re in the thread, do you cross your chains or not? 🤣

1.5 gallons: Wow! That’s near all of it! Hopefully no damage done. Not unusual for coolant temp sensors to not read accurately and therefore not show hot when they’re dry (no longer in the coolant due to extreme coolant loss).

My rear remotes are dealer installed OEM. I have no information on their specs, published leakage considered within normal limits, identity of manufacturer, or any other technical data. When I put in the order with the salesman at my dealer, one of their requirements was I talk to the service...

I’ve run Stabil in all my small gasoline engines for 30 years. I don’t run anything out of gas at the end of season. Never had an issue with fuel causing problems even for the several years non-ethanol gas wasn’t readily available in our area. Longest I’ve let one sit was a bit over two years...

Also, you can’t float a cylinder with DPOCVs. My L has three rear remotes, one of which has a float detent. For some grading operations, the option to float the side link is helpful. For bush hogging areas with very rough topography, the option to float the toplink is helpful. Can’t float both...

Some people think I wear a Kubota hat most everywhere other than bed and church because I’m mostly bald. The real reason is so I can remember how to spell “Kubota”. Didn’t have that problem with the Ford and IH. Y’all’s ruthless with the spell checking. 🙂

We used to do clover plots in the creek bottom where we hunt until we figured out all we really needed to do was mow a section of the stilt grass and smartweed that naturally grows there a couple weeks before hunting season. Our deer like the tender new grass that results. This year we haven’t...

Typical mounting for shredder blades is with a shoulder bolt like this.The shoulder of the bolt is a bit thicker than the blade so the blade will rotate freely on the bolt when the bolt is fully torqued. Possible issues: 1) Wire, bailing twine, etc. got wound up in it and jammed into the...

A quick hitch or Pat’s is probably the best answer. If you don’t do one of those, remember the hitch height floats. Set the height lower than you need it. Grab one of the lift arms and pick it up to the height needed to match up with the pin. If the height on the second arm doesn’t line up...
