    Not sure if you have one near you but Sunbelt rentals has box blades for rent in lower Michigan for $49 a day and $135 for a week. I believe it's Frontier brand that they rent. I don't have a use for a box blade but one of my Daughters just bought a house that needs a driveway. Was going to rent...

    LX3310 error codes

    Have you considered an LX2610. It is a mechanically controlled motor (no computer) the only electronics are the dash and the operator presence controller. Also when I bought mine the dealer sold me the WSM for it on a thumb drive for $15. Because the loader valve is mounted on the tractor not...

    Block Heater

    It has the D1105 motor in it the part for the block heater is 70000-73274 About the best price I have seen for them is at R&L Supply. If you need filters or other stuff it's cheaper on their own site if you need just the heater it's $57.54 on E-bay with 5.50 shipping. To install it it goes right...

    3rd funtion pros and cons

    I picked the OEM Kubota one for my LX because the piping to the torque tube on the loader where my Grapple connects is hard line rather than hoses. My thought process is that the hard lines are tighter to the loader boom and less likely to get damaged by a branch or other debris that might come...

    B2601 vs L2501

    You might want to look at the LX2610 or LX2610SU. I have 10 acres with about 1/2 of it covered with pretty thick woods (old overgrown apple orchard left to go wild in the '50's). I did not get a cab because the windows would not last in the woods. I had a B7510 but it was a bit small on the...

    The reality of selling a late model used Kubota in today's market.

    Not exactly the same... But October 1st I sold my 2004 B7510 for $13,100 it was $14,000 plus sales tax new in 2004. It had a pin on bucket loader and 945 hours. I had a bunch of offers for $10,000-$10,500 but the LX2610 I ordered 3 weeks earlier was not going to be in till late November-early...

    Cold Weather Starting Problems

    When you add the block heater you will need a 17mm allen hex bit socket (it's extremely tight 100ftlbs +-) then a 1 3/8" socket for the heater (use pipe dope on the threads and get it really tight or it will leak). When you put in the heater you will need to turn the block drain petcock...

    Cold Weather Starting Problems

    I'm in Mid Michigan and it rarely gets below -10c in my barn where I keep my LX2610. But on this on as well as my old B7510 I have always had a block heater connected to a Wi-Fi controlled plug. That way I can turn on the block heater before I head out to the barn. usually 45 - 60 minutes is...

    Service Manual

    Probably never will as all the hydraulic vales are covered with the tractor WSM. The rest of the loader is all hard parts that likely are faster and cheaper to replace as a unit than to rebuild. The cylinders are not anything I need a manual for to ever replace a seal on...

    Service Manual

    I just got the tractor WSM. I only the the operators manual for the loaded. was not worth the $15 to me for the WSM for the loader.

    Service Manual

    When I bought my LX the dealer sold me the WSM for $15 on a thumb drive. It would have been over $100 if I wanted a paper copy....

    LX2610 Manual Says No Tire Fluid When Operating the Loader

    I suspect it might have more to do with the weight carrying capacity of the tire themselves. As the tires being loaded the weight is not being carried by the axles. On a side note I weighed my new LX2610 Rops with a 60" bucket and a 6' Trarter back blade on a quick hitch. The tires are the large...

    Shopping a L2501 tractor

    I'm in Mid-Michigan and just bought an LX2610. I did not get a backhoe as I really don't have a need for one. And if I ever done need on in the future it would be cheaper to rent one or hire one. I did get a 60" bucket on loader, The Kubota 3rd function kit as well as 2 rear remotes. I also got...

    Looking for new tractor for 80th

    I just traded up from a B7510 (21hp) to a LX2610 with the big R4's and a 60" bucket. It's that much longer or wider than my old 7510 maybe 8-10" wider and about 15 or so inches longer. But what is really noticeable is it's much taller and a lot more ground clearance. Just weighed it with my...

    Dealer negotiation / pricing

    Best advice is to check all the dealers around you. I talked to 3 of the 4 within a 1/2 hour drive and ordering a LX2610 took 90 days to come in but the selling dealer (#3)gave the full equine discount on it. Dealer #1 was the worse they wanted almost $3,000 over the MSRP on Kubota's website...

    Looking for new tractor for 80th

    I ordered a LX2610 with the big R4's, FEL, 3rd function and 2 rear remotes on 9/10/21. The tractor and loader just showed up last Friday at the dealer. Still waiting on the rest of the bits for the rear remotes. Hoping that they get it together and delivered before the weekend. That would make...
