    3-point backhoe on M6060

    Three point backhoes are not generally all that robust. Since the frame mount for your tractor is in the same price range as a complete used backhoe you'd probably be better served to buy a complete unit.

    L185 starter

    If the battery has the ability and the terminals are clean and tight you may indeed be due for a new starter. A gear reduction starter will in most cases be the better choice though even a basic starter will probably be better than what you've got. Clean and tighten your battery terminals and...

    Adding work lights... advice please.

    Since you're worried about melted wires, etc. you should be aware that even if you install a large enough fuse to make your lights happy a greater current draw may also necessitate larger wires. You should measure the current draw of each light you're adding. I put a 240 watt LED light bar on...

    New Stihl bike handle trimmer

    I've used both. I prefer the bike handle but it is really a matter of personal preference. I feel I have more leverage and control with the bike handle.

    B6000 Hydraulics.

    I don't think the fluid has frozen. If you've got some overflow at the transmission expect a clogged vent. As far as your hydraulics go, check the level. If it's low and you have no leaks check the engine oil level. If you lose a seal in your hydraulic pump it can put hydraulic fluid into...

    bx23s glow relay?

    It will be more than a relay, I expect it to be some type of controller. It will reduce the twelve volt supply voltage to about 10.5. They will not be powered directly by the ignition switch - they'd burn it out as each plug draws about ten amps.

    Tools Needed for New Tractor Owner - Tool Sizes

    You will need a torque wrench over a hundred pounds. I think my L2501 lug bolts are 160 pounds and the loader is 166. I got a Craftsman torque wrench at Lowe's for about the same price as the Harbor Freight offering. I think both are Chinese. I didn't buy any new special tools other than...

    Technical Report on Microbial contamination of Fuel

    Thank you for sharing the information. It appears slanted toward those using and storing large amounts of fuel but most of us buy our fuel from exactly those types of places. Fuel treatment appears to be the answer but one must find a treatment which deals with all the various types of growths...

    L235 Transmission fluid sight window

    If you look on the parts diagram I believe you'll find it on the drawing for the "mid case". Look at the part identified as 11, the oil gauge. That is part number 38240-14210 .

    Kubota ZB1500DT - clutch adjustment

    I looked at the picture - pretty dark. There appears to be a bolt above which may serve as some kind of stop. There is also what I would call a clevis on a threaded rod below. I believe the thread rod would be your point of adjustment. You may need to remove the pin on the end to turn it in...

    Kubota app for Android

    I'll go along with Jay. Your owner's manual gives the recommended service intervals. Keep a little notebook with it to record what you've done and when. I don't have a bunch of add on apps on my phone and computer and have tried to eliminate many that came with the devices.

    G1800 temperature gauge

    There is no reason to believe you can "mix or match" after market parts with original within a system. If you use the after market gauge with its supplied sending unit they should work properly together. Since your heat gun is measuring an external temperature and the sending unit is inside...

    Kubota ZB1500DT - clutch adjustment

    Without looking at your manual or picture, depress your clutch pedal. It should be quite easy for a bit as you're only pressing against a spring. It should then get noticeably more difficult when you start actually applying pressure to the pressure plate. Set the clutch for a half to three...

    Kubota B3200 HST slipping when warm

    I'll have to agree with "Rentthis", it does sound like a clutch issue. If your pedal is properly adjusted there's not much more you can do. Unfortunately I do not believe Kubota offers any warranty on the clutch.

    Looking for some beginner tractor advice (B/LX + implements)

    If you plan to mow with a zero turn and not the tractor the only remaining reason I see for the front PTO would be a snow thrower or blower. That can be had on the B series or the LX series. If more weight is desired you can have the tires filled or add a weight box. Not living in...

    Simple Kubota Loader mounting pin mod

    Very elegant solution. I've not had the problem but can certainly apply an ounce of prevention. Thank you for sharing.

    Land Pride RCR1860 for L2501

    I know nothing about Land Pride but I regularly use a five foot King Kutter behind my L2501. It has the HST transmission and does not lack for power. I mow about ten acres. The ground is a bit rough so it takes about forty five minutes or so per acre.

    Is paying $800 more for a B2601 over a B2301 worth it?

    The B2601 is a bit heavier in addition to having a bit more power but with a stated rating of 25.5 horsepower it's above the Tier 4 limit which requires a diesel particulate filter (DPF). I purchased a tractor under that line for just that reason. How much is the hassle worth to you? I go for...

    B2601 3ph lift holes

    The ones nearer the tractor should give a greater range of travel but a reduced lifting capacity.

    ZD1211 Work light connectors?

    I have an L2501. It has a work light connector under the left fender. If Kubota used the same connector on your ZD this is it: https://powerwerx.com/oemt-power-connector-radio-side
