Hey kubotamedic, welcome to the site! Guys, if/when you do get a solution for the factory lights (aftermarket or homebrew solution) - would you mind taking a few pictures and uploading them here? Maybe toss out some prices too. Others would surely find that helpful.

Nice pics! Looks like you have a lot of space out there and a few green machines in the shed. Looks good. What model Kubota where you comparing against when you finally decided to go with the JD2305?

Michael, you have a new green tractor if I remember correctly right? Mind sharing a few pics - we'll make room for a Deere in here now and then. What made you choose the JD over the comparable Kubota? Better deal? Closer dealer? What I'm getting at is, you had experience with the gray Kubota...

Yes! That is exactly the right way to treat your paint. One of the best things a person can do for their vehicle is to wash and wax it regularly. That's about it (well how you wash it is important too - but my point is that wax goes a long way). You've put in the effort and it shows. Your truck...

Wow! Very quick voting. :D Ok ok, I understand where you are coming from. Kubota certainly does make it hard to get parts, but, there's lots of handy sites around where folks would give you a hand. I guess, technically that would be the extra work you are referring to... hmmmm.... well, as a...

Most of the fun of this site is getting to hear what other people think (and then if I get tired of that just turn the monitor off and walk away... I bet some of us wish we could do that in real life situations involving certain "CFOs" right Michael? :D). We've got a new poll up and I'm...

Vic, suppose he does have a faulty ignition switch, have you got that part? :D

Wow! :eek::eek::eek: Those are some good sized fish! Wow! A grin from ear to ear no kidding! Soon fishing season will be back here again - a bit snowy at the moment.... soon. Damn, now I'm jealous!

Excellent post Michael! I agree - one of the best things you can do as a new owner of a tractor, not just a gray market one, is to do the things Michael is describing - change the fluids, filters, fuel, check the tires, battery, adjust the clutch. The bottom line is that unless your tractor is...

Hey Krump, I bet Manitoba is cold right about now! I don't even want to think about it! Normally we recommend about 60-90s of glow plug preheat before turning and cranking over. If, when you are cranking, the engine starts to fire but runs a little bumpy, it's ok to turn that plug back to...

Hey Krump, welcome to the site and thank you for posting! You've come to the right place if you are looking for advice. Michael is right - it's just automatic transmission fluid. General Motors actually owns the name Dextron and either lets other manufacturers license that name for their own ATF...

Hey Longo, welcome to the site! Thank you for signing up and taking the time to post your inquiry. You can contact Vic at vic@orangetractortalks.com. He'll get you sorted out.

Vic, it's ok. We can make room for "that green tractor" every now and then... :D Glad to have you aboard Michael! Thank you for signing up to the site and posting an intro. The L1801's a good unit and I'm sure you'll agree that it still has plenty of life left in it. Well built.

If you are fixing equipment long enough, you are eventually going to need something fabricated. Sooner or later, you are going to have in your hand a bunch of broken pieces of some expensive looking part that you dug out of the back of the tractor after ripping everything apart. Right Vic...

Wow. A true fabricator! Your work looks good! We could seriously use you around the shop. How comfortable are you with welding aluminum and steel? A few times we've had a waterpump housing that need a bit of.... patching. I know next to nothing about welding but I've heard that aluminum is a bit...

Hello wheat, thank you for signing up to the forum and submitting your inquiry. Was your equipment sitting for a while, possibly outside? I do know that it is possible for the pressure plate to rust itself a bit to the flywheel which is what you might be experiencing. Vic will know the best...

Wow! A great review. Top shelf! I can see where you are coming from regarding the dealers digging their heels in a bit regarding giving you a deal - there are only so many new tractors on the island and it costs $$$ to get them there. Still, I find it amazing that you got $5000 off on a tractor...

Hello folks - just a quick heads up. If you have posted something and are looking for advice but Vic has not responded to you yet - do not be discouraged. He's actually under about 3 feet of snow at the moment, and where he's from the internet cuts out when there's that much snow, not sure why...

Wow! Awesome vids! That rain sensor works pretty well and your light setup is great! You've got some great customizations on there - I wondered what the LCD was sitting up there. Really, well done and great videos too, thank you for sharing. We love that stuff! What Kioti model where you...

Wildfire, welcome to the forums. Thank you for signing up and sharing your pics! "KIOTI KILLER"! LOL! Funny! We'll have to have some of those decals made up too! Glad to see another Canuck on the site. Some good looking equipment you've got there, you're all setup! I'm jealous as hell! :D
