    B2410 Squeak from 4wd Prop Shaft When Cold

    2600 hour B2410 on turf tires. The tractor, when cold, exhibits a "squeak squeak squeak" from under the front end of the tractor when it's cold. This is absolutely linked to driveline as it is only heard when the tractor is in motion, whether 2wd or 4wd and the frequency of squeak is...

    Rear Snow Blowers used with Cab Tractors

    To each his or her own... I have spent a lot of time using rear-mounted 3pth blowers. In this part of the country we get real snow. My first Kubota came with a front mount blower. How well did I like it? Well, I've since acquired two more Kubota's with front-mount blowers. 'Nuff said...

    B7510/B2733A Front Hitch - Mid PTO Shaft

    Hmmm I'm thinking kubotasam might have hit the nail on the head... It seems the shaft is right at its mid-point of adjustment in the slip joint. I've rolled the shaft on knife edges and can't see it being bent, but when it's turning on the tractor it very clearly is being thrown off center by...

    B7510/B2733A Front Hitch - Mid PTO Shaft

    Folks - I'm going to beg your patience here as this post will sound a little scatterbrained at first. Here's the situation. B7510 tractor with a front-mount snow blower (B2771) with a front hitch of unknown model (sorry, ID tag is there but there is absolutely nothing legible on it so I have no...

    b7800 kubota with 72" mower and 63" snow blower for sale

    A couple of thoughts... A BX is NOT a B in any way, shape or form. It's a lot less tractor, plain and simple. (This coming from a guy with three B-series machines.) You would be making a huge step DOWN in performance and durability. The B7800 is a good core machine. Don't be worried at 1300...

    What size Box Blade for B2710

    I have a 60" box blade on the B7510 (just a newer version of the B2710) and it works fine. I also have a narrower box blade on my other B7510 and it's better for deeper/harder digging but it challenges the tractor in terms of taking a big load in the box without having additional weight on the...

    Fuel Economy on B2650

    Fuel consumption is directly proportional to the work being done. While my tractors are older (B2410 and a pair of B7510's) I see fairly large changes in fuel consumption based on the load being applied. Gee, that's just as one might expect! LoL As an example, I can mow grass with the B2410...

    B2400 Hours

    I have a B2410 with about 2600 hours on it. It has been worked consistently, and maintained regularly. Zero issues with it, other than its dynamo (generator) seized on me last year. Not an expensive fix, not a hard fix. It just plain wore out. Other than that, the tractor treats me well and...

    Ballistics

    For exactly that reason I stepped down from .308Win to 7mm-08... Not much of a difference, but the 7mm-08 is chambered in a supremely-shootable Sako rifle. I shoot it very well off-hand and have high confidence in making a successful shot. The lower recoil of the 7mm-08 plus the excellent...

    B7510HSD Backhoe Mounting Hardware??

    Found the info elsewhere. B4681 Support Frame Kit is required. I wonder if these are still available from Kubota?

    B7510HSD Backhoe Mounting Hardware??

    I'm looking to purchase a backhoe to attach to either my B7510 or B2410. I know the older backhoe attachments like the 4672 require a heavy duty top link attachment (P/N 70050-00540). What I don't know is what OTHER brackets are required. I have a memory of reading about and seeing photos...

    Has anyone regretted going from R4 to R1

    I'm in the process of changing one of my tractors from R1 ag tires to turf tires. Why? Because the R1s shake your teeth out and provide poor traction for snow removal operations. I always thought turf tires would be a poor choice for winter operations, but my thinking was all wrong. The only...

    B7510HSD 12" Front Rims - Proper Size for Turf Tires?

    Once again, a great big "Thank You" goes your way, NIW. Your help is very much appreciated. Now I know what rims I need, and that I really do need to acquire a new set of rims.

    B7510HSD 12" Front Rims - Proper Size for Turf Tires?

    Thank you, NIH - as always, you seem to have information at your fingertips. Are the rims for the R1 ag and turf tires the same size/part number? (ag are 6-12, turf are 23x8.5-12)

    B7510HSD 12" Front Rims - Proper Size for Turf Tires?

    Well, I'm feeling pretty dumb right now... I've been going through the WSM for my B7510's and for the life of me I can't seem to find the info I'm looking for. I've also checked the Operator's Manual and can't find the info. Geez I must be blind! Here's what I'm looking for... RIM SIZES for...

    Let it snow!

    One of the fellas at the airport today said "thank you for keeping the snow removed around my airplane" in a mighty friendly way. A bottle of very fine sipping rum, Zacapa 23 Centenario, found its way into my hangar. Removing snow has its up-sides, too! :D

    More Snow in the Northeast = More Seat Time with the BX2822 Blower

    We got wet snow followed by rising temperatures and a little rain. The result was some of the heaviest snow/slush I've ever worked with. At home I spent 2.5 hours on the B7510/B2782 on Sunday - it was hard work. On Monday at the airport I spent 5 hours on the B2410/B2550. I went through an...

    Draw Bar Trailer Hitch

    Hmmm... your comment shows me that I hadn't thought this one all the way through. Thanks for the tip with regard to trying to hook up the trailer blind. I'll pay particular attention to my method of mounting the receiver tube. Now I just have to find one... without breaking the bank.

    Draw Bar Trailer Hitch

    A follow-on question for the brain trust... On my B7510's I leave a box blade installed almost 100% of the time. Here at home I am finding that I would like to be able to use the tractor, with box blade mounted, to shift trailers around and that darned wood splitter with its very short tongue...
