    B2150 turbo?

    With all of the above information for input, how much more power do you realistically think you need? What chores are you doing which require more power? Does the tractor itself seem under powered or is it the accessories or implements? You could also consider adding weight and using a lower...

    Consider supporting OTT

    Repair LA 402 Loader Cylinder.

    If it was my loader I would not hesitate to take it to the hydraulic shop and leave it to the professionals. I've rebuilt front forks on motorcycles but that's about the extent of my hydraulic expertise.

    L4240 HSTC, Thinking transmission, your thoughts?

    A moderator should be able to alter your user name if there's no way for you to do it. If your engine rpm won't come up right after starting I would say it's more engine or fuel feed than transmission. The manual probably recommends a warm up time before putting the tractor to work. There may...

    B7100 bucket rollback help

    See how long the old cylinders were when compressed and extended. Make the same measurements for the new ones. That will give you the travel distances necessary for mew mounts - or show you whether that will solve your problem.

    Looking for a part

    Since it's by the battery is it electrical? It appears to be some sort of fuse holder or socket. A bit of background regarding why you think it needs replaced or where it goes would be helpful.

    B3030 white smoke and stalls

    The white smoke frequently indicates water in the fuel or compression chamber. The fuel is the cheap fix. The reason to let fuel flow from the tank for a minute or two is to see if it CAN flow freely. It is possible to have a partial blockage which allows fuel to seep through but not enough...

    transmission oil capacity for kubota L245dt

    Quantities specified are for the tractor only completely empty, as immediately after manufacture. A loader will increase the required amount of fluid by a bit - how much depends on the loader. Since it is not possible to completely drain the system you will never put in the specified amount of...

    L2501 PTO speed at engine idle

    FWIW the PTO speed on my L2501 is supposed to be 540 at about 2000 rpm. Since my tractor idles at about 1000 rpm I'd guess the PTO speed is about half of 540 or somewhere around 270 rpm. This is way outside the optimum power range of the tractor, though.

    L4400 glow relay issues

    I always like to start with the battery and go from there. Clean battery terminals and connectors then tighten securely. Follow cable to ground. Clean and tighten there. If checking battery with multimeter monitor voltage while someone else tries cranking the tractor.

    Considering B2601 w/ FEL & BB (borrowed BX1870 long-term) - Tips?

    Having neither I can't answer all your questions. I can tell you a tractor is less tipsy if you add liquid (beet juice seems currently preferred) to your tires for more weight. You can probably see the bucket tilt angle but if not you can also add a tilt angle indicator pretty easily. Any...

    Kubota B 2320 won't start with key

    As for suggestions, it sounds like low battery voltage or high internal resistance. Charge the battery and have it load tested. Clean the battery terminals and the connectors. Tighten securely. Follow ground lead to frame. Clean and tighten. Check your glow plugs. Sometimes the heating...

    Grease gun recommendation

    I prefer to use a lithium based grease for roller and ball bearings. I use a grease with molybdenum disulfide for sliding surfaces like the front loader. I have read that it is not recommended for ball or roller bearings as it may cause the bearings to slide on the shaft instead of roll as...

    Kubota L 235 4x4 is difficult to steer

    Steering is much easier if the front tires are fully inflated. Usually thirty pounds is about right.

    HST pedal slow to stop

    Your owner's manual should give the grease locations. They are under the tractor. While you're there look for possible debris binding the action.
