    51 hours, no regen L4701

    My MX4800 did it's first regen at 36 hours...I would say 33 of those hours were running at wide open throttle. I thought it was a bit early. Regen took about 20 minutes. Sometimes when I'm mowing I'll encounter a section of really tall or thick grass and the engine will start to bog. On my older...

    Plugging in your tractor

    I don't really see plugging in as necessary. If its really cold, cycle the glow plugs a few times. My 2002 L4310 started flawlessly in really cold weather (it hit -22F a few times) without being plugged in. My B2920 also starts without issue. These are mechanical IDI tractors. My new MX4800...

    Pushing dump trucks with mini ex

    One other option would be to have one of these 10 wheelers drop a layer of gravel on the road on the way down...

    Pushing dump trucks with mini ex

    The KX040 weighs about 10klbs. A 3301 weighs a lot less than that. You might be better to just attach a chain from the KX's undercarriage to the dump truck's bumper and just creep up the hill, especially if you have a steel-tracked KX. Frankly, a 4x4 pickup is going to have more pulling power...

    Suddenly have no curl function - plus a leak - B2920

    Hi - Yesterday I went to pick up a mower with the bucket of my B2920. Suddenly the loader joystick went pretty much limp and the bucket stopped working. After moving the tractor forward and backwards, moving the steering...I have loader up and down, and bucket dump. I have no curl. The stick...

    B2920 replacement

    I appreciate the info, dirtydeed. Based upon your chart, I can see a couple of things: the 2601 engine is rated at 2800RPM while the 2650 is at 2500RPM. The 2650 also has more torque. Interestingly, my 2920 engine is also rated at 2800RPM, so I'm guessing it is a derivative of the 2601 engine. I...

    B2920 replacement

    Probably the biggest problem is getting the DPF tube and EGR cooler to fit under the smaller B-series hood.

    B2920 replacement

    It's hard for me to believe there is no difference in power. Like I said, I'm mowing on steep slopes usually with the 4-foot flail mower. Right now with my B2920 if I'm headed uphill, in low range, wide open throttle, in tall grass I can cause black smoke to exit the exhaust pipe and RPMs to...

    B2920 replacement

    Interesting. I now remember watching a Messick's video about the 3350 and DPF issues. Supposedly they are finally all corrected, but I'd be leery as well. How do you like your 2650? I'd love to see a photo. Are the tires larger than on a standard B?

    B2920 replacement

    I must have glossed over that. I do currently have an RCK60-30B mower deck on the B2920. I guess I'm surprised because the B2920 is the same frame size as the B2601. I always thought the Bxx50 series were a little larger frame and would use different mowers?

    B2920 replacement

    Are you saying the 2650 uses the same exact belly mower as the 2920 but the 2601 uses something different?

    B2920 replacement

    What would be the advantage of a B2650 over a B2601? They have the same power rating. I won't be getting a backhoe...probably just a loader. I have a 2018 MX4800, I'm well aware of the DPF.

    B2920 replacement

    That's one of my concerns, weight. Kubota is saying a 2601 HST weighs about 1600lbs; the L2501 gear drive is 2600lbs. SO...1,000lbs more to move and 4-less HP. My concern is that I mow steep slopes with the B2920 and my 4-foot flail behind it. Sometimes the grass is very tall and I need...

    B2920 replacement

    I have a 2013 B2920 I use in my landscaping business. It has a loader and belly mower, and I also mow with a 4-floot vrismo flail mower. Although there is nothing wrong with it, I tend to keep things a certain time, get value out of them, and buy new. The problem is this: There is no 29HP...

    Show me your Refueling Setup

    Yeah, me too. (Lol...MeToo movement for tractors). But in all seriousness, I expected the MX (which uses common-rail, electronically-controlled fuel injectors and much higher fuel pressures) to be better on fuel than my older, mechanical fuel injection Kubotas. But it is not. And I have not even...

    Show me your Refueling Setup

    Oh yeah, having a hose and nozzle is much, much better than using 5 gallon cans. My nozzle is even auto-shutoff. I will say my MX4800 gets the worst fuel economy of any tractor I've ever owned. My L4310 mowing, using the same mower, will go just as long as the new MX but only has a 10 gallon...

    Is diesel pickup truck synthetic oil proper for our tractors?

    So many guys on the diesel pickup forums that claim adding this additive or that additive make their engine quieter or give them better fuel economy. "Use Archoil," or "Use PM22" or PowerService whatever. I've tried them all...never seen a lick of difference. Sometimes people just want what...

    Is diesel pickup truck synthetic oil proper for our tractors?

    How are you getting better "mpg" on your tractor?:D Rotella T6 is pretty much the gold standard. I'm sure Amsoil is fine. I agree with BAP here, although I'd go a step further and say that Kubota (and most diesel pickup manufacturers) are not requiring synthetic at all. I'm pretty dubious of...

    Kubota servo-controlled mechanical HST vs full mechanical HST

    So I noticed my new MX has "hydraulic servo controlled" HST pedals while my 2013 B series does not. I guess on the MX, when you push the pedals, you are operating a small hydraulic valve that itself operates the full HST valving. On the B series, you are operating the valving directly. The idea...
