    Some of you may remember my Post about my B2601 breaking in half!

    The PTO is directly driven from the crank of the tractor via a clutch, it is not hydraulically driven. I think PTO and 3 point hitch is being swapped about here by mistake. The 3 point hitch (3PH) is driven by the auxillary pump which is driven off the engine itself and is a totally separate...

    Out of cab PTO use L4060 LE

    I tried searching but the search function states, disregarded PTO because too short, so have to post this question though it has probably been asked a LOT. I think, but not sure that I need to buy a switch in order to use the PTO when not on the seat. I engaged it the other day to check the...

    Some of you may remember my Post about my B2601 breaking in half!

    More than likely an internal crack in the case is the root cause. Somehow, somewhere there is a fluid leak that is preventing the pump from providing power to the gear set. If nothing is binding in the case, then its in the pump. Just a thought, but have you had the pressure reliefs tested to...

    What type of motor oil?

    Of course now I can't find it, but apparently the RP maintains a higher SUS and CST (viscosity) at higher temps, which means at cold starts the viscosity is high to begin with so the phasers get full pressure right from the start. The rattle is caused by lack of oil pressure. They have made...

    What type of motor oil?

    Whats interesting is I found the Royal Purple has been recommended to be used in the F150 Ecoboost engines by several mechanics who work on them. It improves the performance of the cam phasers.

    What size rotary 3-point tiller can i run on my kubota b2100, hydro, 4wd

    When I first got my tiller I didn't have a quick hitch and cut the PTO to size. Later I got a QH and foudn teh shaft was too short. I found an extension for the PTO that goes on the tractor side, that made up the 4" difference. Works perfectly. What fails on the PTO constantly are the...

    What type of Diesel fuel?

    I have run WMO in my B2410 for a few years. I filtered it down to 5 microns and blended it with diesel. Tractor had more power but ran hotter. Takes quite a few tanks of regular diesel to clear the black out of the filter though.

    Kubota Blue

    Then you didn't use the right mix, or left out the hardener. I used the Majic Kubota Orange on a finish mower a good 10 years ago and it still looks good. You have to use their hardener and mix it properly or it wont harden properly and does exactly what happened to you.

    What type of Diesel fuel?

    Go to a truck stop and fill up a few cans there. Nothing special about the fuel the dealer used and I doubt the dealer actually sells fuel. If the fuel is red, that just means it is off road diesel which is identical to the stuff the trucks use but with red dye and no taxes applied. The only...

    What type of motor oil?

    Easy Peasy, get a name brand oil and you will be good to go. Any synthetic oil rated to work in todays engines will work in older engines. Just beware of one thing, if the older engine has cork or paper gaskets, and has never had synthetic run through it, you may experience some oil weepage...

    Kubota Blue

    In the RC world we have what is called 10 foot scale. At 10' it looks scale, but on closer examination, not quite there. You could always get the less expensive 10' paint! LOL No, seriously, I bought off the shelf orange that was close enough to the tractor and painted the finish mower that...

    Lifting 5gal cans of diesel fuel a problem

    Downside of that 50 gallon tank. Oh it doesn't actually hold 50 gallons, more like 47. I put 15 in the truck, and had about 6 in the tank.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Finally got the right lights on the rear of the cab, so now it lights up a LOT of area at night. Trying to figure out where it mount the sprayere control box in the cab. I don't want to drill any holes in anything to mount it, so finding the right place to velcro it in place. The rest of the...

    Some of you may remember my Post about my B2601 breaking in half!

    Keeping simple criteria in mind, Fluid in, Fluid out. In order to get power, the pump must move fluid. The more fluid it can move the more power it can produce. From the sounds of it, the pump is lacking power, which leads me to believe it can't get enough fluid moving through it. Could be...

    Vaccination opinions wanted...

    Had the Wuhan, got the J&J, and got Omicron in February. My immune system is better protected than any booster can accomplish without contracting it. Booster, single shot, or not, everyone WILL contract some form of it, or already has and didn't know it. Most will get some sickness, some...

    Important KTAC Insurance Update

    I discovered something the other day, thought I would mention it here since its the topic. I got a notice from Norton regarding a new account on my CR. It was the Kubota financing for the L4060. When I looked it states the balance on the account. Apparently the KTAC is not part of the balance...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I decided to get another set of LED lights to replace the rear ones that aren't quite up to par. I initially bought 3 pair for the B2410, the two I had not used I put on the rear of the L4060, but they are more spot focused than floods, so they aren't doing too good a job. The other set are full...

    Important KTAC Insurance Update

    That changed last year based on your seeing it now. When I bought my L4060 I researched KTAC and compared it to HO. Full coverage for the first 5 years I believe, then ACV after that. What you want to check is that they will still do repairs if damaged like when under finance. If the front...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Better the hood than the head is what I say. Have a nice large dent in my B2410 hood, no idea how it got there either. Thats the only damage in 20 years though, so I can live with it. I got the JD 1209 MOCO out Sunday and started doing repairs on it. Found out the PTO was way too short...
