    Added hydraulic lift to my b8200 snowblower

    I ended up buying the hoses locally. the cylinder and spool valve were NPT, no idea what the kubota was, but they had an adapter. All the hoses are JIC with NPT adapters. 2x 10' 1/2" JIC with swivels, 2x 5' 3/4" JIC with adapters. $400 for hoses $20 for hydraulic cylinder $20 for spool valve...

    BX2370 Snowblower

    I used a blower off a b7200 on a b8200. The models are similar but they're substantially different in size. Still, mounting system lined up, 2 bolts to pivot. I think the biggest hurdle is going to be the mounting of the driveshaft, not mounting the blower. There's about 4' of driveshaft that...

    Kubota zd21 with intermittent sputtering

    Figured I'd post info for anyone who might have had this problem. My mower started just fine. I'd mow for a few minutes, then it would drop RPM to barely running, and sometimes would stall out. I could mow the yard with this happening about 5-6 times. It only lasted for a few seconds, then...

    Automotive safety features that........

    My hummer h2, and a lot of chevy/gm trucks have 2 wires from the pedal to the throttle body. It tells the throttle body how much it should be open to let air in. There's 2 wires because if the voltage doesn't match, it shuts the truck down. That way if one wire fails you don't have a run-away...

    B8200 hydraulic block thread

    I'm looking to figure out what thread type is on my block. I'm adding a spool valve and hydraulic cylinder and i need an adapter to go to the hoses. I'm looking to go to 1/2" NPT.

    A little bit smokey and a little bit whiney

    Well I just repurposed 2 55g drums of ATF and 5w-30 that were empty but not clean, and dumped 50 gallons of diesel in them, so there's going to be a bit of oil in the diesel next fill-up. As far as the whine goes, i'm not fond of it. I thought about dumping all the fluid and replacing it with...

    New B6000 owner...what's this extra lever?

    Does it reverse the PTO direction? Did you try it? Press in the clutch, throw the lever, and gradually release the clutch and see if anything happens.

    A little bit smokey and a little bit whiney

    Hydraulic fluid is kubota UDT. In my fathers 7200 I use travelers premium UTF. Tractor has 600hr on the meter, but the meter doesn't work, so I have no idea. It's 30 years old and has seen action, but I've only had it a year. When I increase rpm it smokes, but then it all but stops, only does...

    A little bit smokey and a little bit whiney

    When I increase the rpm's for my b8200, it huffs a bit of black smoke. Same when under load. Just trying to make sure that this is normal. It doesn't lose power at all, and pushes through what ever it is doing. Oil and filter are fresh last spring. Tractor starts easy and every time. Also I...

    UDT Substitute

    I can't get kubota fluid without a minimum 1 hour drive one way. Don't use the yellow bucket from TSC. I use the TSC premium UTF in both my zero turn and my b8200, as well as my fathers b7200. I won't mind paying the premium, but make it available please.

    3pt finish mower Land Pride

    I pulled a 60" finish mower behind my 19hp kubota and if the grass was high or wet it would bog a bit, but always worked through it. I ended up getting rid of it because it would scalp over hills, didn't give a smooth cut on slopes, and wasn't very manuverable for going around obsticals. If...

    NFL and the National Anthem Disrespect

    Anyone not happy with this country is free to leave. But they don't. Why? Because we're #1. No country is without fault, no one is saying that. And I'd bet that 80% of those players have absolutely no idea why they're doing it, other than hopping on a bandwagon.

    Generator Shed

    I'm putting a 4" exhaust fan connected to a dryer vent type thing on the outside, which will be plugged in to the generator. Generator on, fan on. I'll be putting a 1" exhaust pipe connected to the generator up the side of the chimney, so there shouldn't be an issue with exhaust. PA taxes are...

    Generator Shed

    Finally made some serious progress on the shed for the generator. A couple weeks back I poured the pad, but the weather wasn't cooperating. Finally some nice weather. I put cinder blocks around and glued them down using landscape rock caulk stuff and let it set for a couple days. This weekend...

    Kubota. 8560

    Check/change all your fluids if you don't know what the history is. This is the first on my list when getting a used piece of equipment. Sounds like air in the fuel line, when I disconnected my fuel line I had to bleed the injectors before it would run right without stalling.

    Hydraulic system flush.

    Don't buy the yellow bucket. Buy the black bucket for universal tractor fluid. Yellow bucket isn't for anything after 1973. Black bucket is $36.99. I have just done a bunch of flushes in my zero turn. Works amazing now. But there's no true "flush", there will always be a little left behind. You...

    Diesel Treatment

    For years i've been using diesel kleen centane booster and anti-gel. I had it in my diesel excursion since 04, so I started adding it to my kubota. No issues. But I wondered if there was maybe a better product that others could recommend? I'm picking up fuel in my 55g drum for the winter and...
