    Trying to make the tractor leak

    Every time I use the tractor the bottom of it gets covered in hydraulic fluid. It can leak as much as half a gallon a day. It also seeps out while parked. But I can't find where it is coming from. Is there a way to put pressure on the system to increase the flow to a point where I will be able...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Busted my brush hog on a rock. Discovered an alarming amount of UDT on the ground. Spilled diesel all over the hood. Got covered in Daddy-Long-Legs. Hopefully tomorrow will be better :D

    L3450GST filters

    Super. Thanks. It took me ages to find the fuel filter. Well hidden between the cab and the layers of dirt. I'm beginning to think all these filters are the same age as the tractor :eek: I better get a price on hydraulic fluid while I'm at it :eek:

    L3450GST filters

    I think I nearly have everything now. Waiting for the 2nd hydraulic filter to come from the land of the rising sun. Just one little doubt. The dealer says that the big oil filter on my tractor has been superceded by a much smaller one. If you could confirm this I would be ready to go next week. TIA

    What will happen if guns get banned?

    Anybody think that maybe Dr. Benjamin Spock might have a bit to do with this. This generation are the children of parents who were the first to be reared without corporal punishment. When this new way of raising children was introduced back in the day; everybody read the books and studied the...

    For FEL safety, has anyone installed hydraulic velocity fuses?

    There is more to it than hoses bursting. To safely use a loader as a manlift you must have a self-levelling setup. This is because it is required by law (at least in this country)to disable the dump lever in case it gets hit with a person up in the air. Look, people do it all the time and get...

    Diesel fuel return volume

    I don't know the amount, but I remember having to run a boat engine straight from the can after the diesel filter got sludged up. From that, I would say that you are not far off in your estimate. I know it was a lot more than we were using to keep the engine running.

    Trailering Tractor with Forward Facing Exhaust. Issues?

    Be very careful that you are not directing exhaust gasses towards your ventilation system. Nearly killed me years ago and that was with no back window.

    Four-wheel drive; Not all tires turning

    What pressure is in the tyres? (I run mine around 8psi) Have you a loader with no ballast? (You could be taking enough weight off the back wheels even with an empty loader) Have you the right tyres for the work you are doing? (Ag tyres are best for field work, grass tyres for lawns (& snow...

    Trailering Tractor with Forward Facing Exhaust. Issues?

    Is there not a little U-bend at the bottom of the exhaust to trap any water going down the pipe. Surely the same thing could happen parking it outside on a wet and windy night. Used to always put a bean can on top of straight exhausts if the tractor was going to be parked up for a while but got...
