    Seeming engine knock heard right at startup until engine is revved up - L4060

    Well, the low oil pressure lamp goes out immediately when the engine starts, so it must be above whatever minimum Kubota established...

    Seeming engine knock heard right at startup until engine is revved up - L4060

    I refuel out of a transfer tank in the bed of my pickup, which is equipped with a hydrosorb filter. Fuel always comes from the same location; I buy off road. Main fuel filter on the tractor was replaced this spring maybe 150 hours ago. No water in the separator/filter.

    Seeming engine knock heard right at startup until engine is revved up - L4060

    Thanks Jerry, it has not always done this, which is why I was somewhat concerned. I’m very familiar with diesels, having owned many diesel pickups and a few tractors. It has been doing this even in the summer, so nothing cold weather related. I don’t use a block heater, even in NH where we see...

    Seeming engine knock heard right at startup until engine is revved up - L4060

    OK guys, it seems like the engine in my 2019 model year L4060 with somewhere around 400 hours on it is making a knocking sound right when I start it up. It will continue to lightly knock until I rev it up, or until maybe 30 seconds to a minute passes. (I don't rev it high when I rev it, just...

    Question About HST Linked Pedal and Regens

    Don't worry about regens. Just let them happen. Yes, low RPM usage will make them occur more frequently. You aren't hurting your tractor by using the linked throttle operation. When a regen needs to happen, the tractor will probably force you to throttle up anyway. Diesel engines have been doing...

    How to deal with liars

    When the Patriot Act passed, I wasn't quite to voting age, so even though I generally liked GWB, I had no say in it. That said, its easy to see how evil often stems from something that on its face, appears to be good. At the time, the public had seen 9/11, and never wanted a repeat of that. We...

    How to deal with liars

    Do you have a GT350? I see your username implies that. I also have a 2020 Mustang GT 6MT; love it. GT350 would be even more fun, but I'm content with my car.

    How to deal with liars

    Here is a link to the Oxford study. I think to clarify, the study showed vaccinated health care workers were carrying 251 times the viral load of people infected with the original 2020 virus, which would have been unvaccinated people. My statement is misleading because the study did not test...

    How to deal with liars

    Please explain why getting vaccinated "helps everyone." We know that after being vaccinated, you can still become infected and transmit the virus. We know vaccinated individuals, when they do become infected, carry a higher viral load than an unvaccinated person in the same situation. What's...

    How to deal with liars

    Good post@jchonline. However, I would say that not all hospitals are overridden with C19 cases. I live near Dartmouth Hitchcock medical center, which is a major player in the Northern New England area. They have never been without enough beds. Scare tactics have been used to try to use fear to...

    How to deal with liars

    I'm totally fine with this as someone who is unvaccinated. But if we are going to play it that way, we should also not give priority to people who end up needing medical attention for a variety of bad choices they've made in life, such as tobacco, alcohol, drugs, eating habits, exercise habits...

    How to deal with liars

    I see Pfizer is applying for an EUA for their vaccine for kids age 5-11. How many people in that age group are dying of C19? To use your words, a pretty "minute" amount. Seems to be no justification for an EUA other than to make a bit more money, but why not when you have no liability concerns?

    How to deal with liars

    I take it you work in the medical industry? I think you might be naive to how corrupt things have become. However, you might be aware that Google has launched a total censorship on youtube of vaccine "misinformation." Fact checkers censored the obituary of a woman who died of vaccine...

    How to deal with liars

    NHSleddog, great story. I find the same exact thing with most people from the liberal side. And yes, I bemoan when license plates from those certain areas appear in my neck of the woods. Many people despise the politics of their state, so they migrate to a freer state, only to become active in...

    How to deal with liars

    Interesting point. There are "equal opportunity" laws in place, though. For example, if I own a business I cannot legally hang a sign on the door that says, for example, "Jews not allowed." So this is a sticky point, where the Supreme Court will likely have to decide if it is legal to refuse...

    How to deal with liars

    In 1930, Britain believed airships would be the way people traveled in the future. Many people thought this way. The Empire State building was constructed with a mooring mast for an airship on its roof. This was all pre-Hindenburg. Britain wanted to lead the world in airship development and...

    I've been sicker ....

    The flu kills a lot of old people every year. But we don’t mandate the flu vaccine nor do we prevent people from working or visiting nursing homes. This is no difference.

    How to deal with liars

    In fairness, jchonline seems to be reasonable so far. He's entitled to his view as much as I'm entitled to mine. Someone that expresses an opposite view shouldn't be totally trashed, especially on a nice forum about Kubota tractors. However, I have no problem with people strongly expressing...
