Well, you can only take his word for the amount of oil he put in. But what I would do in your case is drain everything out, and add a measured amount of new oil, up to the same point on the dip stick and see what the difference was. (First drive the tractor a bit to ensure the oil is equal on...

Agree totally. If you have been using ag tires and have any mud, you will be greatly disappointed with R4s when they fill up with mud, or even moist dirt, and turn into slicks....Not a good feeling on a slope when going up you suddenly start to slip backwards with no control...even with...

You could very well be right. I keep thinking that whatever shape the boom has, it still has two end points, so it could be replaced with a straight piece. BUT that may not be the case at all. There may be some geometry at work here!

In my limited experience this is key. You need to keep water from softening up the soil/earth under your road/driveway. It needs to be diverted away if that does not occur naturally. But it sounds like this is not an issue since you say after rain you can still drive over the grass without...

I usually use my B2910. But the box blade was on it...forget why. Thought the rear blade was on it. So I took the BX2200 and hooked up the 72" rear blade to it. The BX has AG tires and they are foam filled, which adds lots of stability. Also 1.25" rear wheel spacers (width limited by having a...

After reflecting on the thread title over the last few days, I concluded it really should have been: "Another Example Of Why The Darwin Awards Evolved..." :ROFLMAO:

It is always great to read a report of success when a problem is resolved. Great you reported back. Everyone doesn't. Thanks!

Certainly true if you can do the rebuild yourself, that is the cheapest option. In my case, for a LA401 loader, the seal kit from Kubota for the curl cylinders was something like $60 each, and the repair by a hydraulic shop was $100 each. AND replacement cylinders from Kubota were over $600...

I take it you are trying to use the loader as a plow? If so, I would suggest that you get a back blade to put on the 3PH, angle it, and get some real plow action. I use a 3PH back blade with my B2910 and have found the loader really only works for me as a loader. I do move piles of snow with...

Perhaps if you explain what you are really looking for you will get the answer you need. If you already have the tractor, you already know the lug pattern, as you imply...

I looked twice and saw a lot of information, but no detailed diagram...don't have that tractor though...

I also heard that the curved boom helps when digging over something like a fence...

Who determined the cylinders are not repairable? If it was someone who does cylinder repair as a profession, then obviously new cylinders are called for. Be prepared for sticker shock if you buy replacements from Kubota! Just asking before suggesting you get a professional opinion on rebuild...

Actually seat belts also save good, intelligent people that make simple mistakes! It really does happen...

I also will go with spacers about the same width as roybell, if I buy them. Looks like the Bora ones are what I would go with. I am thinking of 4" spacers for my B2910. Being relatively expensive, if I am going to spend around $400 I want to get some real benefit from the purchase. Might be a...

Flip, if there is a better or equal site for Kubota related stuff, please point me at it. Would not mind increasing my exposure to knowledge for certain!

Interesting. I never really worried about it, so I never looked at my 3PH arms when nothing was connected to them. I guess when they are not connected they would start to raise when I start to move the control lever...and pretty much the position should reflect where the lever is. Never thought...

I get the financing consideration. Not everyone has the cash to buy a used tractor even if it is like new with only 25 hours on it, or maybe 50 hours. But a lot of people do have the cash available. So I guess it boils down to what the market will bear... Still I think expecting a like new...

Good that you know the solution. Maybe run the existing repair until the problem appears again? I had a different, but somewhat similar, problem with the control on my wood shop cabinet saw. I ordered a spare magnetic switch, not knowing what was inside, then took it apart and reassembled it...

What I found in my case that the RFM was nice and did its job well, but it was a nightmare cutting close to and around things... Curious why a MMM would not work in your case. After a year I traded my RFM in towards a BX with MMM. Initially the RFM was on my B2910. For my needs I like the MMM...
