I’d order it or plan a road trip to get the kubota stuff over substituting it with another brand.

First questioning people’s ethics now integrity over a subject you couldn’t understand why it would be posted. If you actually read what I was saying about having them throw in a used set of forks etc I was talking about dealers not buying private. Pretty sure all dealers have a bigger bank...

i just feel bad for new members hearing comments like his on their posts. No wonder most won’t join in on other conversations.

Probably the dumbest thing you’ve said to date. You were doing so good since your I’m quitting ott posts. Funny how ya couldn’t believe the post existed then ya comment on it with what you did shows something about your ethics.

I agree that different regions and areas are going to have different pricing and availability. Around me dealers don’t move very much from asking price. I would think if you’re looking to really negotiate then private sellers would be more likely to wheel and deal. Nice used equipment doesn’t...

Welcome to the group I’d just let the dealership worry about it well it’s still has warranty. You mentioned it’s at the shop atm getting looked at so why not wait till you hear what they say. I’m sure they aren’t gonna send you packing with a new machine and a loader that won’t hold pressure...

Nobody trying to talk him out of it just giving advise and ideas. I like fabricating stuff as much as the rest of ya do but I also don’t mind to hear the truth about my ideas. I think I’d be trying to build a Jack plate kinda thing. They are used on boats to lift and lower your outboard on...

Definitely looks like a lot of rust and very little grease. My guess as to final task that killed it Maybe stump removal with a grapple gone wrong. Putting entire weight of tractor into it. Hard to tell if it’s manufacturing defects from those pics unless I missed something not so obvious. No...

Yup my next step would be flush out fuel system and tank then fresh new fuel. Drain Oil won’t be hard to tell if it got water in it and change including filter. Hopefully it’s one of those and you’ll be good to go. Depending on how your exhaust exits pulling it in reverse without anything...

Welcome to the forum. Pretty sure you’ll find this info in your owners manual. Should be a section that talks about ballast. Also you’ll see the little search icon top right of this page. I’m sure you’ll find more than enough ballast talk and home made ideas if you choose to go that route. Box...

Kinda crazy you were able to half remove it before then retighten it. Just being a nut and bolt. Also why wouldn’t Kubota still just put the proper bolt or plug in the threaded hole. Glad you got everything figured out but this is still mind boggling to me. When doing fluid changes you could...

First year I’ve had to do this. Not even enough snow to reload the sleds. Thought this was easier then grass dragging them

I’ve tried the diesel works but a mess when you go to use the chains. I just use em and hang them when I’m finished. I don’t really care how they look as much these days but dragging them sounds intriguing. It’s sand as far as you can see and dig in my area so shouldn’t be hard to accomplish if...

Dragging seems like a great idea. At this point it’s just cosmetic. Any pitting or damage is done. I wouldn’t worry about the chains. To be honest I wouldn’t worry about the bucket either. just a lesson learned. Make sure the angle the bucket down if it’s gonna be out in the rain so it won’t...

My truck definitely gets the warm up period during the winters. Not because of the engine. My butt wants a warm heated seat to sit on lol.

I warm it both in summer and winter. I also like to see the gauge move up a bit past the C before I move it and usually pretty close to normal temps before it works hard. Every gas or diesel motor I have gets a warm up before going to work. Can’t see the harm in it so

This one is an odd one. Maybe I’m missing something but I have gone over a few times and still didn’t see anything about testing your original battery. You had the starter rebuilt before confirming it was even the issue. Did you test the rebuild one before installing it? Are the fuses all good...

Probably a good idea to find the issue rather then just keep buying parts. Agree that it sounds like a ground issue or connections. Clean them up till ya see bare metal.

2010 l5240 with 1400 hrs and catastrophic hst failure. The new bigger hst installed at the dealer then another 100hrs put on to then sell or trade it back in to the same dealer??? Has me thinking. I get why the dealer wouldn’t warranty the work that was done in the past but I’d hope the price...

Well if the dealer offers to send a tech then that’s wicked. I think most dealers offer this but the cost is a bit scary. Be sure to ask first what the cost is. I have a really hard time paying 100+ per hr to change my oil. This forum answers more questions then my dealer can or will. They...
