    Snow removal

    I used to have a B7510 (Pretty much a B2301 in size and power) I used the 5' Back blade to plow with exclusively. The back R4 tires were loaded with RimGuard I never used chains or grooved them just used 4wd. Normal plowing was blade at an angle & facing forward drive over top of the snow and...

    Pricing and raising the price after you pay?????

    I have some experience with selling insurance to Dealers that import autos from Canada to Michigan. The car has to sit in a bonded lot for 30 days before it can get the clearance to get a Michigan title. Also not an issue anymore with digital dashboards but in the "old days" with mechanical...

    Methonol and water vs rim guard

    In the case of 15-19.5 R4's they hold 29 gallons (75% fill) (310 pounds) per tire of beet juice (RimGuard). 12.4-16 R4's hold 24 gallons per tire Other tires for LX tractors are probably going to be close to the same amount of "water" capacity for the 75% fill level. methanol is 6.6 pounds per...

    picture of hydraulic hose connections

    A couple of things download the "My Kubota" app on your phone. On mine ( LX2610)when I put in the model # to add it to the app it gave you a manual you cold scroll thru on the phone. The other thing is to follow the hoses from chute to where they connect at the loader valve. disconnect them and...

    Methonol and water vs rim guard

    You can use this tool to locate a dealer near you. On my LX with 15-19.5 R4's it cost $205.00 to get them loaded with Rim Guard. It added 600 pounds to the rear tires. I seldom even need to engage 4wd to plow snow with a back blade up here in Mid-Michigan. It is unreal how much it helped the...

    Cold Weather Starting

    If it's convenient for where you park the tractors. I do this and it has worked well for the last 5 years or so for me.... I have a block heater that I plug into a Wi-Fi controlled plug. About an hour before I plan to go out to start the tractor I turn the plug on. I do that anytime is about...

    You run the glow plugs this way.. the key switch has 4 positions from all the way left or counter clockwise Is off, then the next going clockwise is on then the 3rd spot is spring loaded to return to there on position is the glow plug ( yellow light on dash should light up in that position) then...

    Hard starting

    I used to have a WSM for my old B7510 but I gave it to the person that bought it last year. I had about 980 hours on it when I sold it and it always started right up if you used the glow plugs. From the description of your problem I would say it's sucking air into the fuel rather than a glow...

    Very disappointed with my LX 2610

    I would suspect that the tractor will be sent back to a tech center for a more intensive teardown and troubleshooting. The problem has to be electrical not mechanical and they will want to find out if for example is there something that is needed to be revised on the production line. Is it a one...

    Back blade for ice removal

    Just a suggestion after you use the snowblower. Go over the driveway with the back blade to get the last bit of snow off. I only use a back blade for mine but rarely do I get more than 8-10" at a time. Once yo have some of the blacktop uncovered. The sun will take care of the rest ( if it's in a...

    Next price increase from Kubota?

    Jan 1 is a normal date for a price change but that said I have no clue if there will be a increase. However with how prices are I would not be surprised either... The best thing you can do is to go sit on some and drive them around. I use mine mostly for cleaning up fallen trees and plowing the...

    Removing/Capping a hydraulic fitting (B2650)

    If your not using it. Why not follow the hose to where it comes off a junction block or "T" fitting and cap it there? Since it's a dead end line you can cap it all the way back at the point it comes out of without harm as the oil in it goes nowhere....

    Damaged hydraulic connector (B2650 3rd function)

    LX series Kubota 3rd function line ends at the bucket are 3/8" NPT If that helps you... as someone else stated you can google the part number on your existing fitting and that also will tell you the size.
