    Increase Hydraulic Output

    As mentioned above, you would need to buy a PTO Power Pack. Your tractor is at the bottom end (or below) of the required power to operate a power pack effectively. https://baumalight.com/hydraulic_power_pack/en/ You will also have a very real potential issues with the rigidity/strength of...

    Setting up New PTO Slip Clutch, and why

    RhinoAg - manufacturer video on slip clutch (spoiler alert: same universal set up without regard to the tractor) The good thing about springs is that they only weaken over time. If you start experiencing excessive slippage using the factory slip clutch settings, it is time to replace the...

    Setting up New PTO Slip Clutch, and why

    The Slip Clutch provides the same protection as a shear bolt; it should be adjusted to this shear bolt value regardless of tractor HP or anything else. The manufacturers set the PTO clutch to this value at the factory. The owner is only required to return to this approximate value (has a...

    Which rotary cutter

    I have reclaimed acres of neglected pasture with my Land Pride RCR1860 (slip clutch equipped and rated up to 2 inch material). It does a great job, BUT I cut all trees/brush over an inch with my Stihl Kombi using the pole saw attachment without an extender). I slice the trees/brush off even...

    Grapple Spraying Hydraulic Oil

    The male coupler is either defective, or it just has some debris preventing it from closing. No matter what position your grapple is in, the disconnected couplers should not allow fluid to flow. As to storing the grapple open - I have the same grapple, and I reviewed the manual prior to...

    FDR 1660

    3 seasons with mine, no issues. How are the belts wearing? Have you checked your tension and the pully/spindle bearings for free rotation?

    There is one thing I despise about kubota, part pricing

    I have always had very good experiences with auto and tractor dealerships. My Tundra had an oil change last month. Full synthetic and tire rotation (bought the tires from dealership at the best price around - so the rotation is always free) for $79, and I was out is less than an hour. I...

    Anybody dealt with House of Contractors out of Canada?

    FWIW, WoodMaxx in NY, USA sells two varieties of chippers. All of the MX series are made by them in NY, and the others are imported from China. I bought an MX series from them, and it has performed very well. See my review...

    Buying first Kubota (used)

    Start by watching Messicks youtube videos, especially ones on the BX tractors. Here is one to start:

    Truck / trailer questions

    Not quite the same, but similar. I have towed our 28 foot travel trailer (weighs about 6,000 lbs.) thousands of miles with my 5.7 l V8 Tundra (rear is 4.3) without any issues. I do use a WDH, and I am within all towing/weight/load specs. I get 9.5 mpg towing with all of that wind resistance...

    Sharpen Rotary Mower Blades?

    Those are two extremely similar items used for almost identical purposes - facial razor and rotary cutter. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

    Sharpen Rotary Mower Blades?

    You will probably need between 200 and 600 ft-lbs to remove the nuts. Many people use a high power torque wrench or a torque multiplier ( a decent one costs about $250). The advantage to a torque multiplier is that it allows you to later torque down the nuts to spec. - often 400 ft-lbs. I plan...

    RFID card holders

    Although as already stated, you do not have much to worry about from a theft perspective. However, if you wanted to harden your existing wallet, you only need to insert some copper mesh panels on the exterior of the inside (between your stuff and the outer surface of the wallet). But, I think...

    Decision Overload

    FWIW, tractors do not depreciate like cars and etc.

    Decision Overload

    Buy the new L2502. It is new with a warranty; the others could $1K+ you to death with repairs. If you were very familiar with tractors and could do you own wrenching, used might be an option - especially if the price spread were greater. FWIW, an LX2610 SU or LX 2620 SU has an MSRP price of...

    Seat protector

    I emailed Durafit about a seat cover for my LX SU (not the same seat as the LX); they did not have one listed for LX SU on their website. I provided them with measurements and photos. They responded with a model number for a seat cover. I bought it, and it fit very well.

    LX2610SU

    Box blade is not an issue. I have leveled 3 spots (30x30, 15x30 and 12x12) with each having a 1.5 foot slope in hard clay filled with rocks using my FEL and Box Blade. Also, I have spread over 100 tons of crusher with my box blade. No experience with chains.

    LX2610SU

    No regrets with the LX SU. I found the LX to be more comfortable than the B2601 and L2501, but that is all personal preference. I do like and have on many occasions used the extra stability/ground clearance/traction the LX SU provides with its bigger tires. A couple of weeks ago, I dug up...
