    We're all doomed!

    You can find the kubota gray colors on amazon. Ive seen it on there before example: https://www.amazon.com/CANS-KUBOTA-TOUCH-SPRAY-70000-00210/dp/B079Y6R87V/ref=sr_1_1?crid=8O0HRYVH70ET&keywords=kubota+gray+spray+paint&qid=1580223921&sprefix=Kubota+Gray%2Caps%2C161&sr=8-1

    L2501 Hydraulics - How far is too far?

    This thread hits close to home for me. I wont say I "Modify everything I own" but Ive always been one who liked to understand how things worked, and that often meant taking things apart. When I was 13 years old, computers were just starting to become popular. This was the days of the Pentium...

    Price? L2501

    With a backhoe that price isnt far off. I got a brand new L2501 back in May 2019. It was 4x4 HST tractor, the Loader and bucket, a QH15 quick hitch on the back, and a big root rake for the front. Mine was around $20,500 By the time they added in the insurance, which is an insurance kubota adds...

    Got an issue looming that could change your life...

    Since we are going into the doomsday direction with the discussion Ill add what I think is the real concern. Its not this newest virus. We have had similar new viruses from china like this before. The common flu will infect far more people than this virus out of china will, and will kill more...

    Got an issue looming that could change your life...

    Well some of the news coming out of china from the nurses/doctors on the ground is that the government has failed to respond to their request for supplies to help the people, so they are essentially just laying in the hospital bed with little to no intervention being done. That typically wont...

    L2501 6hrs new rattle

    Loved the in depth explanation. This could be it given this is all accurate, which I have no reason to doubt that it is. I have noticed the the sound difference. This weekend however I remembered this thread and listend again when pushing the clutch. I don't seem to notice the "rattle" or "air...

    Price check on BX 23S

    I got my L2501 with bucket, QH15 quick hitch, and a big 400lb root rake attachment for the front (Its bigger than the bucket) for almost that same price - roughly 20,500. All Brand New. I couldn't see spending that same price on a BX. Once i went throug hall the financing, and kubota added their...

    Mower and 3PH counterweight won't stay up.

    Some good work arounds, but im still really curious why this is happening. This sounds like a broken tractor issue that should be fixed. Hydraulic pressure should not just bleed out while youre using the tractor, and drop your 3pt implement into the ground. Thats not something you just work...

    what to put in rear tires

    did the taste test. no taste at all. no odor, clear, Im left to assume its just plain water. When I first got the tractor one tire was at around 65% Id guesstimate, the other was nearly 100% water. I drained the 100% tire down to match the other one, so both are around 65% or so. I may replace...

    Adding outside temp display?

    as a personal preference I do find metric much easier in distance measurements. millimeters, centimeters, meters is just a lot simpler. When doing carpentry for example its a lot easier to just use centimeters to measure cuts than. "I need a piece 5 feet 5 inches and 3/16 long" is a mouthful...

    what to put in rear tires

    Well Ive always heard that pure water is bad because it will rust out the wheel, so I was always under the impression pure water was a no no. It came from the dealer brand new with whatever is in there. Should I just leave it alone or go through the trouble (If I can find out it is pure water)...

    what to put in rear tires

    My rear tires on my new L2501 came prefilled from the dealer. To me it looks like pure water. Is there some way to tell if it is pure water. Ive often worried about this, but not sure how to test it to know if it is indeed JUST pure water. Obviously if the dealer filled my tires with water Id be...

    Mower and 3PH counterweight won't stay up.

    I see a lot of people here saying this is "Normal" for the bx, as if its no big deal.. For the 3ph to gradually drop its load over time while using the tractor? Really? This is normal? If it is then that is a huge strike against a Kubota bx tractor to me. Surely this isn't "normal". My L2501...

    BX : New or Used ?

    given the scenario and numbers you laid out, I would go with the NEW tractor. You're not going to get a consensus on this kind of question though because it hinges entirely on personal opinion, feelings, and personality tendencies. $260/month X 5 years also is not 18,823 for the new tractor...

    Oil change issue

    Not an expert on this, but I have always read that oil is almost always black on a diesel engine. It is not like a gas engine where it stays nice and caramel looking. Oil in my brand new L2501 is also black for what its worth. Haven't hit 50 hour maintenance yet. Ive been told this is normal...

    Do glow plugs have different heat ranges?

    regarding glow plugs - should I even use them here in Florida? The coldest I typically crank the tractor up is maybe 40's, and that would be rare. If its colder than that Im likely not working on the tractor that day. So far I have not ever used the glow plugs at all, Just crank it up and it...

    Adding outside temp display?

    While this sentiment played a part for some (America has traditionally always had a spirit of independence about numerous issues) this isn't actually why the metric system wasn't adopted. It did come before congress, but failed to pass because business owners and manufacturing workers were all...

    Adding outside temp display?

    I became fairly used to Celsius from building/overclocking computers. Ive built and overclocked/tweaked my own computer since I was about 13 years old. Celsius is the standard temperature format used in PC component cooling. So when I'm overclocking my latest CPU or GPU, and water cooling it...
