    How Much Pressure Is In Hydraulic Lines ?

    The pressure is generated by the hydraulic pump. All lines and cylinders that are under pressure will have the same pressure inside them. The amount of pressure is determined by where the relief valve is set on your particular tractor. It can vary usually between 1200 and 2500 psi depending on...

    Kubota decal kits.

    I doubt you'll find them in a complete kit from a dealer, but they should be available individually. I've bought them for a few different tractors over the years. Usually the price isn't too bad either.

    What Is Correct Procedure / Bucket Position When Parked In Garage

    Something that looks good when you go to sell it will get you more money, and is easier to sell than something that doesn't. That is a fact. Mine is parked in a shed with a gravel floor. If there's mud on the bucket when I park it, either the mud ends up in the gravel, or gravel sticks to the...

    L3540 vs MX6000

    My local dealer wants $44,000 CDN (34,000 USD) for a new MX6000 with an LA1055 loader, air seat, R14 tires, wheel weights, extra work lights, External rear view mirrors and the outside door handle on the RH door. I'm not sure how that compares to prices in the US.

    What Is Correct Procedure / Bucket Position When Parked In Garage

    That's exactly what I do, minus the OSB. I set the bucket on a pallet instead, just to keep it off the gravel floor in the shed.

    B7500 Hydraulics Dead

    Sounds like you have either an air leak on the suction side of the pump or low oil level.

    snow pusher size for a b7100?

    He's using a pusher. They don't angle. Think of it like a box blade on the loader.

    B6200 No Start

    Finally got time to finish the repair. It was the ignition switch that must have been corroded or something inside. It's a sealed unit so I didn't bother to open it up. New switch and it's a 100%. Thanks for everybody's input.

    B6200 No Start

    The voltage was checked on both sides of the safety switch with the key in the crank position. The voltage slowly climbed evenly on both sides of the switch from 9.2 to 10.8v, with the clutch pedal depressed. This is the same reading I get at the solenoid wire with the key in the crank position...

    B6200 No Start

    I'm assuming the safety switch you're referring to is the one on the clutch. The problem seems to be before that switch because I have the same 10.8v going into it and out of it. I'll pull the ignition switch tomorrow and run the wire you suggested. Thanks for the input.

    B6200 No Start

    I know that. The battery starts the tractor just fine if you jump the solenoid. I don't know why the wire coming from the ignition switch that energizes the solenoid only has 10.8v though?

    B6200 No Start

    B6200 HST 4wd. Battery is good at 12.8v, same at post on starter. But I only get 10.8v on the wire on the solenoid when the key is turned to the crank position, and it takes about 15 seconds to get up to that 10.8 from about 9.2v. I've checked all connections and grounds that I can get to...

    Anyone running Kubota zero turn diesels?

    Don't the dual fuel tanks have an equalizing line connecting them together? My ZD1211 does, so only need one fuel gauge.

    Kubota B7000 oil fill levels?

    You're probably fine using those volumes but I don't think it would cause any problems if you filled up to the level of the plugs. I've always filled to the plug level.

    B7000 overheat whistle

    I was always sceptical of being able to hear these whistles until the first time mine went off due to a rad plugged with dandelion fluff. Even at 7/8 throttle rototilling I heard it no problem.

    Steering gear box oil

    Use 80-90w gear oil. The fill plug is on the top of the gear box on the left side. It is small, so you'll need either a squirt can or even a syringe to get the oil in there.

    B6100 stability

    On level ground the cog is the center of the tractor. As one side raises, the cog shifts to the other side until it reaches the tipping point. Due to leverage a wheel weight on the uphill side will have more effect on keeping that tire on the ground than the counter effect of the other wheel...

    Never operate mower in transport position

    I'm not sure about your particular model, but some Kubota tractors actually have brackets underneath that you pin the deck to in the raised position so that you can still use your 3pt hitch for other implements without having the deck travel up and down. In my manual they call this the...

    B6100 stability

    Yes, turf tires are wider than the ag tires and will give more stability but you will probably have to obtain different rims, as the turf tires don't fit the ag rims. If it's 4wd you will have to replace all 4 tires and rims to keep the correct ratio. There are a few different settings that you...
