    2nd problem with R-14 Tires!

    Finally got rid of my R14’s, my dealer/salesman replaced with new R-1’s . Having had Ag Tires on my old L3800, I was forced to accept R14’s on my new L2501, due to, you guessed it “ supply chain/ inventory planning”. The difference is day and night, better traction, wider stance(split rim)...

    supply chain issue?

    “Kubota has to take more responsibility “ I said. My salesmen claims he has doubled his sales over 2021, so yes Kubota, and my local dealer are doing something right. My point was that Kubota is part of the problem/solution. There is something definitely wrong when you can’t get R-1 tires for 8...

    supply chain issue?

    Meanwhile back to Kubota “supply chain” issues, I feel bad for the sales people. As my guy told me, Kubota can’t seem to get their shit together. Newer orders are being shipped before older ones, simple items like tires, cutting edges, can’t be had, let alone tractors, etc. Supply chain issues...

    l3800 DT PTO doesn't engage easily...

    Just as a side note. When selling my 2013 l3800 HST, the buyer tried to engage the PTO, it didn’t work! Anyway, he played around with the cable and or assembly, and it engaged. I didn’t take much notice, as he was happy to purchase the tractor.

    2nd problem with R-14 Tires!

    Already have one of those🤗. Tends to spill gravel off one side? And yes, it would accomplish that task, in a similar fashion. Box Blade allows me to drag gathered material to desired location. I am just surprised, that a tire (R-14) that is billed as a combination of R-1 and R-4, would...

    2nd problem with R-14 Tires!

    Box Blade is a Category 1, fit fine on my old L3800, with R1Tires. Yes, in swapping out tires front and rear have to be changed out. Have an ad on Kijiji now (Craigslist), to see if I can find someone to trade tires/rims with. And yes, you are correct, wheel spacers will solve the problem of...

    2nd problem with R-14 Tires!

    1st problem is the inability to install ( ice) chains , without wheel spacers. Then yesterday I’m doing some box-blading and realize I can’t off-set, box-blade, beyond wheels due to width of R-14 tires. With R-1 tires, I could get the Box-blade several inches, out beyond the tire, by adjusting...

    L2501 Modifications

    After my initial decision to buy a L2501, I had a bit of buyers remorse, due to reviews of it’s lack of power. During my 3 month wait, I OTT’d, YouTubed, and read about the L2501. I must say you “ 2501 Mod Guys”, kept me going!! I now have my 2501, so far so good power wise. But knowing it...

    L3901 Tire swap

    The problem here in Canada, there is no supply of front R-1 tires. Not sure if this an issue in the USA, but that is what I was told. Also, the rims are one piece, hence not adjustable. My dealer did cover extra costs of R-14’s, kubota wheel spacers, and installation of spacers(when they...

    L2501 lands, pleasantly surprised with power!

    After many “should be ready next week”, my new L2501 was delivered yesterday. Spent a few hours on it yesterday, and was surprised at how much power and speed it has. Having had an L3800, and read how under-powered L2501 could be. It lifted, pushed, dragged, and drove up hills without issue...

    SSQA LOOSE

    Had similar issues with my old l3800/LA524, wear and tear will cause the rattle and sometimes hydraulic cylinders , from side to side, get out of alignment, which can cause difficulties engaging the SSQA. The rattle, new pins may help, the cylinders, take some measurements, side to side?
