    Battery Replacement / warning lights

    You should be well over 13 volts with the engine running above idle. It appears that the charging system is not working. A good auto parts store should be a source for battery cables.

    Frustration with waiting on new Kubota order

    It is not only a shortage that is causing the delivery delays, it may be the local dealer. I bought a tractor with extras that were all in stock three weeks ago. All I needed was assembly and a phone call..... still waiting. UPDATE! Just got the call.

    The PRICE of super UDT2 - are you kidding?

    Are there options for buying Kubota oils and parts other than the local dealer, such as online, for a discount price? For example, I can buy genuine parts for a truck for much less than a local dealer charges.

    Sizing a quick attach

    I’m trying to determine if a 3,000 lb. quick attach forks system that weighs 364 lbs. is way too much for a B2601. There is one available in new condition, but it may be heavier than it should be. Any idea?

    Kubota BX23S runs until it sputters and dies

    Check that the tank is vented, possibly in the fuel cap. When it happens again, open the cap and listen for air going in.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Play with the controls after shutdown and the pressure should go away.

    Break in period

    It doesn't matter if cars, tractors or trucks are discussed, this break-in subject always pops up. An engine and drive train is made up from various metals and plastics and anything made by man is not perfect. The parts need time to conform to each other till the surfaces are better mated...

    Jobs everywhere, no workers.....

    My opinion is that the feral goobermint should follow the constitution and regulate interstate commerce and provide for the general defense. All of this other nonsense is simple enslaving the citizens.

    Coolant flush

    Thank you for the reply. Grounding of plumbing systems is required to pass inspection in my area. Just a few years ago, I installed a new service in my daughters very old house, the inspector saw some copper plumbing in the basement and said it must be connected to the ground system despite...

    Coolant flush

    It was 46 years ago and I don't remember what type the tubing was. I did use brass elbows rather than formed copper. Cheap faucets last weeks, toilet tank bolts rot in a few years and anode rods disappear within three years.

    First tractor

    I believe that your tractor weighs about twice as much as the proposed B2601 that weighs 1632 lbs.

    First tractor

    You should have forks that move to the distance apart that is needed. Cutting edge can mean whatever the manufacturer want it to mean. The one from Kubota/Land Pride is a flat bar with an angle on the leading edge. It is meant to protect the rather thin edge on the bucket. A toothed edge...

    First tractor

    What pallet forks are you looking at? There are many brands out there, buy one that gives the best protection for the tractor or at least can accept expanded metal for a guard if you are moving brush. I ordered the bolt on cutting edge, but that may be a mistake, a bar like the Piranha Tooth...

    Coolant flush

    I have well water that is acidic and it ate the copper pipes in just a few years. I changed the entire house to plastic plumbing and now am a believer. I may flush a system with the well water, but the final flush and fill will be with distilled.

    First tractor

    The tractor, loader & backhoe will be approximately 3,000 lbs. The enclosed trailer might work, but the length is probably too short. My tractor is still not completed, it should be ready in the next two days, I'll be hauling it home in my 8x20 enclosed trailer. Burke had none that were out...

    First tractor

    Since you may not be too far from Delaware, you might want buy in a sales tax free state. The dealer in Newark, DE had two 2601's and I bought one. The dealers near me had none and couldn't give me a delivery date. I paid $27,500 out the door with a QA loader, backhoe, subframe, buckets...

    First tractor

    After much research, I chose a B over the BX. Watch Youtube videos and read what you can find, I did that and it appears that the B is nearly twice as capable. My thought is that the BX is best only if the access to a work place is very limited. When considering brands, there are three; one...
