    Looking for new tractor for 80th

    LX2610SU? Have you watched GP Outdoors videos? He made a lot of them with his B2601 then traded to a B2650 cab (same as LX2610) and has made some talking about it after having the B2601. https://www.youtube.com/c/GPOutdoors/videos

    Relationships with animals...

    Interesting topic Henro. First I don't think of animals as inferior, just different from humans. As far as relationships with them I've had dogs for companions for most of my life and more recently in addition a cat that my wife brought home, which I really did not want. But I've come to really...

    LX2610?

    Guys I had a B2650 (LX2610) and I wouldn't even consider lifting much of anything without rear ballast, it's hard on the front axle and more importantly dangerous when the rear wheels leave the ground. The L2501 I have now lifts about the same as a LX2610 but is about 1,000 pounds heavier. The...

    Brand New 2021l2501 oil plug falls out

    I never assume that just because the 30-40 boxes on a PDI sheet are all checked off with a pen that the actual work was done. Heck most of the time the tire pressure isn't even correct! When I get any new motorcycle, car, tractor, SxS I check it over pretty closely as soon as I get it home. I...

    Brand New 2021l2501 oil plug falls out

    You subtly changed the meaning, it should read: Go buy a new truck, it blows up on the way home, and come back and share your experience please.

    Brand New 2021l2501 oil plug falls out

    Really? I said in my example "the truck's engine blew up in 50 miles" which isn't unlike the OP's tractor engine's catastrophic failure in 5 hours. No way I'm keeping that truck. Under the Consumer Rights Act, if the vehicle goes wrong within the first 30 days of ownership, you can simply...

    Brand New 2021l2501 oil plug falls out

    Good Lord Kubota it's a new tractor with just 5 hours and the engine blew up, replace it! How would you feel if this happened to your new Ford F150 after just 50 miles and the dealer said "leave the truck here you're going to have to walk, but Ford's going to send a new Ecoboost engine, we don't...

    Brand New 2021l2501 oil plug falls out

    The dealer and or Kubota could replace the tractor for the customer so he can get back to work and brag about how well he was taken care of. The dealer keeps the tractor with the defective engine until the new engine arrives and replaced. And after confirming all's well the repaired tractor...

    Do I need more horse power?

    I mistyped, I mow with a 60" flail, not 6'. Anyway I don't need the loader on to offset the 650 pound flail because it doesn't hang out far beyond the 3-point, but you might need the loader on if you're using a cutter.

    Brand New 2021l2501 oil plug falls out

    I would think the dealer would check oil levels but surely not have to check the tightness of all the drain plugs and filters. I think I would ask for a loaner while it's at the shop waiting on the new motor to arrive from Kubota and their "technician" to change it out. Otherwise they should...

    Do I need more horse power?

    I mow at rated RPM (2,200) with my L2501 using a 6" flail in very high grass and it doesn't have any problem, especially with the loader off. Also my tires are not filled. The combined weight of loader, bucket, and liquid filled tires would certainly take additional power on up grade. When the...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    B2310, b2601 or L2501

    I'm trying to understand. What model is B2610? Are you meaning B2601 or LX2610? B2610 lift a bit more than what... 2501?

    Adding a "tractor-port" to my barn

    I was going to suggest this but looking at the amount of rocks to move decided not to. :) But since you did, I'll add that that's what I did with my 18' x 30' carport. The implements set at the edges and I just back, or pull up to attach them.

    Have you considered buying a tree puller? I got this about a month ago and have been pulling olive and rose out roots and all...

    Chainsaw mount SawHaul

    But with an implement on for ballast I think that would make access more difficult.

    Chainsaw mount SawHaul

    I used to strap the saw on the ballast box but now use a SawHaul on my L2501. This frees up the top of the ballast box for carrying other stuff like loppers, tow chain, along with shovel etc. I need to buy one for the Deere. That little 14" battery saw on the box is as handy as a pocket in...

    Must haves for L4701

    I can see the advantages of both L47 and MX, and Kubota must also. The MX is the more capable tractor (in most measurements) and not all that much more money than an L47. But it doesn't have any more 3-point lift capacity and it's 8" wider and 8" longer than an L47 which simply wouldn't work on...

    1st torque wrench! Deciding on bolt torque?

    Use caution tightening bolts into oiled aluminum threads. That's what I did many years ago on a 1976 motorcycle and I kept thinking "man it's still turning surely it'll click soon?" Well it didn't, it suddenly started turning easier after it stripped! I believe it called for 18 ft lb, I should...
