    Need advice on how to operate my tractor

    Sounds like your tractor is going to be useful for this task. So if I understand correctly you have landscape timbers that are pinned in place by rebar going vertically through them into the ground, its common to sink the timbers slightly to stop them moving. I'm assuming that you have a front...

    Snowblower

    I run a Woodmaxx 72” wide snow blower in northern Michigan on the back of my L3901 or Mx5800. The L3901 runs it OK but I just have to take things much slower when it is knee deep or above. My larger MX 5800 handles it beyond the volume capacity of the blower. Both tractors throw light or wet...

    New member, first time tractor ordered, L3901-HST

    Welcome and congrats on new L3901, I have one also and very much like that product. Remember to keep something on the back when using your forks or bucket. If you have any questions feel free to reach out. There are a couple of mods that I really like, one is adding an Atv basket to the back of...

    T6 5w40?

    I'm guessing your service manager told you " we just use 15w40 and if a customer wanted thinner for winter we use 10w30" because that is true and that is what is specified and recommended by Kubota, see attached lubricant data from my Owners Manual for my 2019 L3901. Older Owners Manuals never...

    Weight Box

    Freewheel3 that’s a nice job and a good use of items you had. I was shocked a few years ago at the cost of those suitcase weights, I purchased some for the front of my L3200 as it does not have a loader.

    L2501 service oil change

    Oliver you have too many toys and vehicles like I do also. Shell Rotella is a good product and usually readily available. I have several kubota products that are still relatively new and still under warranty, I make sure that all my servicing uses kubota parts and fluids that meet the...

    L2501 service oil change

    That's a good point raised by Roadworthy, you should be replacing both the HST Transmission Oil Filter on left side and the Hydraulic Oil Filter (Suction Filter with magnetic ring) on right side. I suggest you read past posts on this as there are a number of recommended ways to minimize the...

    L2501 service oil change

    Attached is the Lubricant recommendations from your manual. You will see that it refers to 10W-30 or 15W-40 down to 14 F or -10 C. Below that it recommends 10W-30. There are many views on this topic! Personally I use Mobile Delvac Extreme 10W-30, my dealer confirms all tractors are shipped...

    It seems there is quite a lot to the sweeper units, there are lots of images with a Google search, maybe you can figure out what is missing. Good luck hope it works out for you.

    BX2660 won't start and panel dead

    Had a similar experience a couple of years back with my L3200, ended up with the dealer sending out their truck to take my tractor in. The dealer's truck driver said maybe you have the starter wiring issue that many Kubota's have, he asked me to try to start it and he moved the wiring connection...

    Loftness Snowblower

    I've never personally owned a Loftness snowblower but I would not hesitate to buy one, they appear to have a strong reputation and were made for more than 60 years. I'm sure the company will continue to support the spare parts business for this huge user base, it is the most profitable part of...

    Engine Oil Reccomendation for F2100

    Mobile Delvac Extreme 10W-30 is $18.99 / gal at www.speedway motors, free delivery for orders over $99 and I don’t have to drive to the store. I think any good premium oil will do the job as long as it’s changed regularly. For the original poster the question was what grade to use, all of my...

    Engine Oil Reccomendation for F2100

    My dealer comments that Kubota are shipped with 10W-30 After much research And review of recommended oil in owners manuals I standardized on using Mobil Oil Delvac Extreme 10W-30 Synthetic Blend Heavy Duty Diesel Engine Oil. Using one product over all my equipment allows me to buy in bulk...

    Ballast box

    Wow lot's of views on this one! I'll wade in with my own experiences. I would not use the FEL for anything serious without a ballast box or a reasonable size implement on the back. My tractors with FEL's also have loaded tires. My most recent tractor was a L3901, shortly after delivery I tried...

    Help guess weight of tractor/attachments

    That looks like a very nice trailer, 14k always sell easier in my opinion, you are well set with your pulling truck, you will not know you have the tractor on the back! My latest trailer is an equipment tilt trailer, a gooseneck, I tow my tractors, track loader and excavator up to 10k load...
