    Cold Weather Starting

    In my case I store the tractor in an unheated barn. But I have Wi-Fi out in the barn so I have a TP Link Wi-Fi controlled plug for the Kubota and another one for the F350. I always run the block heaters for at least 30-45 minutes before starting either of the diesels when it's under 30 Degrees...

    Kubota MSRP Vs Dealer out the door price

    I my case I am really lucky. I have 4 different Kubota dealer's ( all different owners) that are within 30 miles ( I live smack dab in the center and they are literally N, E, S & W of me). I sold my B 7510 in October 2021 and ordered my LX2510HST 9/10/21 used the equine discount ( no longer as...

    Work Shop Manuals (WSM)

    Just a quick tip on getting WSM's from your dealer. ( At least mine) they offer the manual in print and also as a PDF on a thumb drive. The paper copy is $100+ and takes a month or more to get. The PDF on a thumb drive was $15 and they had it ready in about 10 minutes...

    Advice on what to buy

    Forget getting a belly mower. For the price of a belly mower you can get a smaller zero turn. For 1 acre that will work better than the tractor. If your looking for something to get into tight places I would stick with the LX line. They have 2 new LX models coming out in Spring 2023 that have...

    Attachment Storage Question - Pallet Racking

    Being you have the wire shelf to go between the cross beams. I would think that 1/2" plywood is plenty as the wire racking will take the weight. You just want to spread it around and have a smooth surface so you don't hook something on the wire shelf when your loading/unloading an attachment...

    B2601 Headlight bulb change

    If your B2601 is like my LX26`0 there is a factory harness by the ROPS on the right side at the seat bottom lever for the factory optional lights. Use that as your power feed for the lights it is a fused 10 amp circuit that is hot only when the key is in the on position. You can run wire from it...

    Lx3310 hard starting

    Attached is the parts diagram showing the throttle valve on the LX3310... Fun fact early Ford 6.0 Power Strokes also had a throttle valve (2004 only). Yes it defies conventional wisdom on diesels. But emission controls bring some strange engine strategy for controlling emissions. That is the...

    Lx3310 hard starting

    The LX3310 does indeed have a throttle body... It's part of the emission controls.

    Flat face style couplers.... garbage or somthing else?

    I have flat face couplers on the 3rd function for two reasons. 1). They are easier to clean before connecting. 2). They lose less fluid when disconnecting. It sounds to my like it's possible that yours have some foreign matter caught in them either damaging or holding open the seal in them

    Double acting valve section vs Float deten valve section

    When I bought my LX last year. The float detent valve added $50. I got it because it was not much more. In operation it is a double acting valve with an additional position of float. That said I have it connected to my side link as that cylinder does not have a check ( pilot) valve. In my...

Mine is an LX but I'm guessing the BX uses...

    Flat Face Coupler

    One other thing that is possible. Are the male and female couplers the same brand and size and type. Their will be a part number engraved on the connectors. You can google the part numbers on the couplers to confirm that they are compatible. My flat face couplers on my grapple take perhaps 20-30...

I run the block heater for 45min to and hour before I go out to start it. seldom is it below 0F in the barn (Mid-Michigan) It starts right up with just a few seconds of glow plug...

    Flat Face Coupler

    I have Summit hydraulics branded flat face couplers on mine and with the pressure relived on both sides of the lines. Both the tractor side and attachment side I find them easier to connect than the pioneer ones on the rear remotes. The only issue I have ever had is the female coupler sleeve has...

    Question(s) about tending a brush pile fire with the tractor.

    Another thing to consider if your using the tractor to condense the burn pile or to add more fuel to it. Is to get some open cell foam to make a prefilter for the air filter intake.

    Purchasing a Grapple, looking for opinions with any issues on hose connections.

    If you have the rear remotes you might want to look at my thread on top and side links for having a top and tilt kit.
