    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Got lucky lol. Was clearing brush and ran over a small stump that managed to get up in between the axle and into the engine compartment. I killed the tractor immediately after the grinding sounds and the shower of hydro fluid. Having already killed two snakes where the tractor was I opted to tow...

    Tire swap

    On my L with r4s there is no way to swap the wheels side to side, with the off set of the rim is too much to clear the frame.

    M8580 troubles

    Like what mister said, make sure battery is good, it can show a good surface charge but not have the capacity when you go to crank it. Also check the connection where the ground cable attaches to the frame

    M7060 something went SNAP!

    Sure sounds like a broken axle, in an open rear end it will spin the wheel with least resistance, that’s why the left one only turns with diff lock engaged.

    Where can I find the diagnostic port in a m108s tractor ?

    I’m pretty sure it’s not going to be obd 2. Believe it is a kubota specific hook up and requires the kubota software.

    Bush hog question

    It’s a rcr 1860. Only reasons I was thinking about the tire is 1 they are free lol, and 2 I figured with the steel belts in them they would hold up a lot better then the plain rubber likes what’s on it now.

    Bush hog question

    The rubber belting on the front of my bush hog is ripped up,throws way more debris out the front all over me and the tractor. I’ve been thinking about grabbing some used tires from work and cutting them up to fit. I’m thinking they will hold up much better then the original belting (it is a land...

    HST vs Gear drive

    My 2 cents, my L3200 is gear drive (it’s the series before the 2501), have no experience with hst. Only time I’ve wished I had the hst is bush hogging with lots of forward to reverse changes, with a gear drive the pto will cut out for a second while shifting. Is it a big deal? Maybe, maybe not...

    Factory Battery

    Are the batteries you get at a kubota dealer the same ones that come in it from the factory? I ask because I am also a Mazda tech as well, they come from Japan with Panasonic batteries in them, replacement batteries come from our local interstate dealer and they just put Mazda stickers on them...

    BX HST/Hydraulics Not Noisy At All Now!

    I noticed same thing with mine. Changed the hydraulic fluid at 150 hrs, mine is a gear tractor so I don’t know about the hst whine but it does have normal gear noise which has been diminished and the pto was very loud when engaged almost to the point I thought I had something wrong. After the...

    Stupidity

    My favorite customer/sales person fail was back in 2005 when ford brought back the ford gt. I lived in Wisconsin at the time. Couple comes in in a rags to riches story, they started their business and were very successful in a short bit of time. Well they had money to burn and had to have the...

    Stupidity

    I know what you mean. I hate more that we as technicians have to teach the customer what they mean and do, should be the job of the sales person that sold it to show the customer how to use what they bought.
