Before I bought one I'd let a hyd shop look at it. They can rechrome rods if need be.

Rotella is good oil. It's better than some and easy to find but you didn't ask for cheap or easy, you ask for the best. To honestly answer your question. The best oil on the market is Amsoil. Lots of opinions on the subject but most have never tried anything that Walmart doesn't sell so I...

It's not just a Kubota problem. I help a couple friends several times a year baling hay and use their Deere and NH tractors a lot. This is a problem that's not brand or tire specific. It's much worse on ground where the tires can really get a bite. Like I said my own loader tractor does the...

I use Amsoil which does have extended drain of up to 3x longer than factory interval but that comes into play for a person that puts a lot of hrs. I can run my oil up to 600 hrs or 1 year. Most oil (dino) if you really look at the specs will have a mileage/hr rating or 6 month interval. It's...

Steering sounds like it's normal. Radial tires make the problem you describe even worse because they grip the ground so much better. My M doesn't have any problem but I don't have a loader. My L does like what yours is doing but it's not as bad when I have the bucket off compared to when it's...

Engine oil should be changed at least once a year even if it doesn't have many hrs. It gets loaded with contaminants from normal operation and even the best synthetic lubricants are rated for annual service intervals.

I haven't tried a cordura seat but I'm thinking about putting one on my L. I did change my seats out in my 350 though and put power leather buckets. I like them a lot.

Everybody I know with a tractor driver splitter has forgot about them and left them sitting in the weeds. Seems like a good idea but after the first use it's abandoned. I'd much rather have a stand alone splitter.

Last time I went to the Sunbelt Expo IH had a tractor there wrapped in a American flag and it had red leather seats. Very sharp looking tractor.

Now I'm thinking of what orange leather would look like in my cab tractor.

I'm going on my experience with 3 new Kubota tractors 2 of which were M 9000's. 4 total if I count the one my brother bought. At 50 hrs all 4 of them still had enough metal in them that the oil looked like metal flake paint. After the fluid was changed at 50 it has been clear as a bell every...

Oil at the filter will be clean. The lower drain plugs is where the real trash settles to and the poor front axle isn't even filtered. The good thing about being a tractor owner is we get to make our own choices right or wrong.

I worked with a guy that had been farming for 40+ years. First thing he would do to his equipment was remove the hyd filter (canister type) and throw it away. He said if it didn't have one it couldn't stop up. And he couldn't understand why his yard was full of tractor/yard art. One pic is...

I've not done it on that machine but I've never seen a piece of track equipment that you can't do that to. Either the sun gears or on some the axle can be removed by hand. Just clean best you can around the cover before you remove it.

Wildfire, I thought you were snowed in or something. Haven't heard a peep out of you in a while. Hope you and your family are safe and doing well.

I don't understand it either. In the early 2000's a full service on hyd and front axle was part of the 50 hr schedule. I don't see why it was changed because the metal filings are still in the cases. Maybe a parts guy came up with that so he could sell more. I sure don't see it on the tractors...

If I'd already lost that much I would have drained it all so you could get all the metal out of the bottom of the case because it's still in there. I've done a full service at 50 on all my new ones. Hurts the wallet but give piece of mind.

When mine gets filters it gets new oil so it's not a issue for me. The first (50 hr) is the most important one anyway because that's when you'll get all the metal filings out so it was a no brainer. If you do just change filters park it on a slope with filters on the uphill side and you won't...

It's rare for lift pump to fail. Most of the ones I've seen with trouble is caused by trash in the elbow that feeds into the pump.

My 50+ year old spreader my grandpa bought finally took a dump on me so I had to buy a new one. Only put out 2500 lbs of fertilizer with this one but very happy with Tarter so far.
