    Early first service B2601

    I just bought the filters, oil and grease to do my 50 hour first service. I have 46.5 hours on my LX2610. I phoned ahead and had my wife pick up the parts while she was near the dealership. I plan to do the service over Easter weekend. Youtube is excellent. I also verified with the dealer...

    Cold Weather Starting Problems

    Thank you! Great information on this forum. My LX2610 has 20 hours on it now. I will change out the 10W-30 to 5W-40 Rotella T6 soon. I am in central Ontario between Minden and Dorset. The tarp tent with a small electric heater under the engine for about 1.5 hours worked well. The engine...

    Cold Weather Starting Problems

    Thanks, I did find the chart on page 53 of the manual. The chart only goes down to -15C (5F) and recommends 10 seconds at this level. I left it on for 15s at -22C and it didn't start. Is there a risk of keeping the glow plugs on too long? I heard they will burn out if left on for any longer...

    Cold Weather Starting Problems

    Hello, I am a new tractor owner and have been having a great time blowing snow with my Kubota LX2610. The overnight low temperature last night hit -26C. We are now "up to" -22C and after 10 seconds of using the glow plugs to warm the cylinders, the tractor won't start. The engine turns over...
