    Brand new kubota L4701, knocking and pouring out white smoke from exhaust.

    The dealer I b The dealer I bought it from is 3 hours away from the farm. They can’t even assemble the tractor properly, missing pieces, removed the fender support for some stupid reason and did all kinds of stuff wrong. They sold me rear tire ballast and the manual says that no rear tire...

    Brand new kubota L4701, knocking and pouring out white smoke from exhaust.

    I just purchased a new kubota L4701 for the worst dealer I have ever dealt with and it had 4 hours on it when I bought it and at 10 hours it started pouring out white smoke out the exhaust, to the point that you can’t see your hand in front of your face. Th exhaust outlet is wet with either oil...

    New turf tires for the kubota L2501 almost ends in disaster.

    I should know better than listen to stuff off the internet. Went through a Kentucky state police checkpoint in Frankfort on Memorial Day weekend and my rig was inspected. No issues with loader raised off the deck. Moved my tractor down to Irvine Saturday and lowered the loader down on my...

    Does the book give you state laws or federal? I looked everywhere and could not find any state law, the only load securement law I could find for the state of Kentucky was about prevention of coal from falling off trucks. I got pulled over by DOT in the state of Kentucky with my front loader...

    I filled them with a little over 30 gallons of windshield washer fluid in each tire. About 250 pounds each and I drove it over the lawn and it didn’t make a mark. Unbelievable how much smoother it rides with the turfs compared to the AG tires. Also it seems to have a lot more torque to the...

    What about all the other incorrect information like “the loader needs to be lowered to the deck”? I already checked my state laws and there is no law requiring the loader to be lowered to the deck. I asked for guidance on why I should lower the loader to the deck and what could be a worst case...

    Question 1 is correct and applies to my tractor and I did have the lockout activated on the loader.

    Those are laws on equipment over 10,000 pounds. My tractor doesn’t fit into the category you referenced. There is no law on privately owned equipment under 10,000. If there is you can post it. The only load securement laws we have are for vehicles over 10,000 pounds.

    I would also like to point out that there is no state law indicating that the front loader be lowered or secured to the deck. There is no fines for not securing the loader.

    I had the right of way (I was already positioned on the one way bridge before the other car got close to the bridge) and was traveling down the center of the one lane bridge (one lane bridge, not a 2 lane bridge) going well below the speed limit. Nothing illegal or wrong with that. The other...

    Can it cause damage to the loader? Can you please tell me the reason behind this? I don’t understand. What could possibly happen? The loader can detach from the tractor? What could happen in a worst case scenario?

    You are correct it was originally a one lane road that was widened about 10 years ago to make a 1 1/2 lane road but none of the bridges were updated leaving a road with nothing but one lane bridges. No serious injuries. Just minor road rash on the arms of the male from the airbag and minor road...

    Ideally he should of slowed his vehicle down and waited until I exited the one lane bridge since I had the right of way. He could of safely done that if he wasn’t speeding and lost control of his vehicle. He panicked when he seen me already on the one lane bridge and realized we both weren’t...

    New turf tires for the kubota L2501 almost ends in disaster.

    I had the loader raised in the air because I had forks on that were too long to lower to the deck without hitting the tow vehicle. I usually take the forks off which allows me to lower the loader to the deck but I forgot to remove the forks before I loaded the tractor and didn’t realize I left...

    Hey guys I am back and I wanted to share a scary situation I was in yesterday. I went down to Barbourville to pick up a set of new Old Stock turf tires for my kubota L2501. They originally were takeoffs from a L3400. I paid $550 for the set of 4 complete with rims. Anyway here is the scary...

    Kubota l2501 throttle adjustment screw.

    I wish you guys would quit trolling me. I am referring to the d1703 engine service manual. And you are referring to something totally different. I seen the engine service manual with a chart that clearly states the d1703 engine produces 25hp ar 2200 rpm and 30 hp at 2800. Believe what you want...
