    Kubota Quality

    I think the size of the tires ( thus the contact patch) makes a big difference with R4's. I do a lot in the woods and I wanted to stick with R4'S because the heavier sidewalls. On my old B7510 with the 12*16(if I remember correctly,) R4'S even loaded with RimGuard I had traction issues. On my LX...

    BX2660 Three point lift piston / cylinder scarred

    The white ring is a Teflon seal. They are used in automatic transmissions a lot. You stretch it to install. Then use a tapered tool to resize it for the bore. ( You could use a piston ring compressor to resize it) I would suggest getting the o ring and seal from Kubota as they probably are not...

    New Bush Hog

    Also look at the one from everything attachments. It's pretty much like the Landpride one but has a couple of impovements. I had a 4' Landpride one for a couple of months it worked well and I had no issues with it. It sold with the old tractor and I haven't had a need to replace it yet.

    Top -n- tilt cylinder options

    You also can measure your existing links. The ideal would be to have a cylinder that is at least 4" of stroke and the compressed length is 2" shorter and the extended length is 2" longer than your existing link.

    L3302 vs lX3310

    Just to add my $0.02.... the LX3310 does have a intake heater for cold starts. Also with any LX series tractor that does NOT have a cab you can get the bigger L series tires on it. My LX2610HST scales out to 3,555 pounds without operator loader, big L series size R4 tires with the tests loaded...

    Kubota Quality

    Likely when they were welding it up. They either ran out of shielding gas or the welder had it turned off. That's what caused the porosity. However, the bigger question is how it managed to get past quality control because that shouldn't have happened.

    Kubota Quality

    Sometime we need just a bit of good news.... My LX appears to have been built around April/May 2021 (judging from dates on various items including the motor). I ordered it 9/10/2021 and it was delivered 12/10/21. Since then I've put about 55 hours on it. Only issues were I ordered a float detent...

    LX3310 wheel spacers with 72” MMM

    Given the price of the MMM have you considered a lawn tractor or zero turn for mowing? Then just use the LX for everything else? I found my old B7510 that the MMM was just a pain. The loader was in the way when mowing and the MMM was in the way when doing most anything else especially loader...

    LX2610 or LX3310

    The trailer I have with the car on it is just under 6k but I can pull it any where in any gear. My LX is 3,555 pounds full of fuel no operator.

    LX2610 or LX3310

    In low range none your traction limited Mid range might possibly see something but probably only if going up hill. Hi range yes you would see a difference

    Def delete question... A continuation

    The issue the OP had is not the DPF (Diesel particulate filter) but rather the DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid Also know as/ sometimes called Selective Catalytic Reduction or SCR) system. DEF is only on 75+HP engines. 26 to 74 horse engines do not have a DEF system but rather only the DPF or DOC (...

    Def delete question

    More to the point is a Kubota dealer removing federal emission controls country to federal law. I'm incredibly surprised a dealer would do that because the fines are extreme. Since the engine no longer conforms to Kubota specifications because of being deleted. I would not expect that you would...

    Backhoe attachment

    Anytime I needed to do a trench for a water, Electric or gas line. I just go to the local Home Depot or Sunbelt rentals and rent it... for the 3 times in the last 25 years I've need it it's way cheaper and MUCH easier to "store" than buying a backhoe...

    New Manuel

    For the parts I find it easiest to use the Messick's site. Then once I have the part number I can my local dealer to make sure it's in stock before I head over to get it. The price at my local dealer seems to be within pennies of the price on Messick's site.

    Here's a Picture of Price Increase for This Year

    I'm just glad I ordered my LX in Sept '21 I looked up the price change and it's now 15% more plus the Equine discount is no longer 20% off. It's dropped to only $700 off instead of the $4,000 I got off mine...

    Who's Using a Trickle Charger / Battery Tender?

    I have a Noco Genius 2 that I have mounted to a post in the barn. I also have a 10' extension with the Noco ends on it. Each of the batteries that I am concerned about have the hardwired pigtails on them and while they are in storage I can rotate the battery on the Noco because the lead is long...
