    Kubota Super utd fluid alternative

    Why try to reinvent the wheel. I do my own maintenance and change all fluids and filters. I’m saving the labor part of the service bill but never skimp by using cheap filters or UDT2 alternative fluids. In the overall scope of things Any saving will be minimal.

    Woods HBL84-2 price

    I see one in Ohio 12 months old for $850. Does it come with the optional rear wheel and blade side boards. Your L6060 should have no issue with the 560 lbs of weight. Very useful for grading driveways and similar. I’d see if your local seller will lower price a little. I like Woods equipment...

    Talked Out Of Rear Remotes

    I own 3 tractors, purchased my first with no rear remotes, later added one set of rear remotes which was very expensive, next tractor I purchased one set of rear remotes with tractor, later went back for second set. Third tractor, I ordered with 2 sets of rear remotes, I finally learned. I use...

    Brush mower blade replacement

    Back in May I made a comment above in this thread that “blade changing can take on a life of it's own!”. Looks like my comment was spot on, I’ve been down that exact road…..lol Hopefully you are now ready for years of quality use from your rotary cutter, make sure you have the correct shear pin...

    L01 Rear Remote Mounting Panel

    That looks real neat and very practical. I learned over time the need to add 2 sets of rear remotes to my tractors. I think there is definately a place for a well put together kit of parts with a well documented installation process. I am pretty mechanically capable but could not clearly...

    Pallet Forks Recommendation

    I agree with your maximum load comments but believe these lighter Titan forks are maybe fixed width which is extremely limiting. Are these adjustable width forks or the fixed width? I would strongly recommend not to buy fixed width forks, I find myself constantly adjusting fork widths and could...

    MX5400- 1065 FEL wouldn’t lift me up today. Forgot to do the math😲

    I have been exactly where you are with my MX5800, I used to think it was a beast and would lift anything I asked it to. I transport pallets of lime (70 bags @ 40lbs each) either in the back of my 3500 pick up or several pallets on a heavy duty deck over trailer. To unload and store the lime I...

    Landpride tiller or tsc

    Take a look at Everything Attachments, I run the following on my L3901, it's had several years of use and I'm really happy with it. It's a few hundred dollars more than TSC but far cheaper than the Land Pride.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    It was a great weekend here in Michigan, cooler temps and dry. It was time for a final day of wood splitting before hunting season and the eventual arrival of winter. We grapple loaded the tilt trailer with large rounds from the storage pile, transported them back to the main barn area and...

    Pallet Forks Recommendation

    Take a look at UA forks, 42” or 48”, they are US made and can also come with a 2” receiver and hay spear holes. Buy the model with the headache rack for protection from load movement. UA fit and finish is top quality, weight is reasonable.

    Stupid question

    There no such thing as a stupid question, always better to ask in my experience!

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I changed out my front third function hydraulic couplers today on the FEL of my L3901, the original 1/2” ag style couplers have been leaking since I started using my grapple earlier this year. My dealer fitted 2 male ag couplers to the tractor when new, I fitted the 2 female ag couplers to the...

    Best implement for 1/2 acre plot

    I'd consider starting out with a scarifier bar for the first couple of plantings, it will allow you to clear the ground and find all of those rocks. It will break up the ground well, if you go over it several times it will break things down well. They are not expensive when you compare to a...

    Rear mount snowblowers

    I looked up the recommended maximum rear snowblower weight for my L3901 and it is the same as your L2501. I have run a Woodmaxx SB72 many times on this tractor and have permanently paired my L series for winter use with a Woodmaxx SB60 going forward. It performs really well with both of these...

    Which to buy L2501 or L3301

    I believe that PTO HP of at least 25 HP is important, at least for many uses I put my L series to work for. I would not worry about DPF issues. If budget is limited I would buy the L3301. I was in the same position a few years ago and realized it was not much more money to move up to the L3901...

    L2501 Question

    I started thinking about an L2501 and no DPF a couple of years ago as I was looking for an additional tractor. The mediocre FEL lift capacity was not a worry as I had a MX for heavier work. I eventually looked at the L3301 as I wanted at least 25 PTO HP, I ended up with a L3901 in the end...

    Tar river attachments

    I was also looking for a US built log splitter a few years ago, take a look at All Wood Log Splitters, I purchased an Oak model and have never looked back. US made, veteran owned company, great products and service, serious equipment. My MTL compact vertical grapple was fabricated by Loflin to...

    Tar river attachments

    Many of these companies are not distributors, they are contract manufacturers, I’m not sure you are understanding the difference. They are selling a product that is built to their engineering and design, with components that they specify and often free issue to an outside fabricator/ assembler...

    Oil used for b7500 kubota

    Standard engine oil specifications from Kubota are: Note this is not from a B7500 manual so quantity is not correct.

    Grapples

    Roll back in terms of angle of loader mount plate or rolled back as in open? I think the open gap is just over 30”, plenty for its use. My best final advice would be bigger is not better, I consider my L3901 to be a smaller tractor and wanted a smaller compact grapple that was appropriate for...
