I agree as well. I wouldn't chance running it with water left in the system. I would have to flush the system out at least one time but I wouldn't just rule out a second if it needs it. A little extra money spent on oil will be a lot cheaper than having to fix what the water may damage if you...

Do you have the backhoe hooked up right now or is it just lift arms with nothing on them?

I got the real Kubota signs and the license plates from the merchandise section on www.kubota.com and my wife found the Kubota Tractor BLVD sign on E-bay. I have the parking sign and the Kubota drive sign on my shed that I park my trailer, tractors and store some of my equipment in and the...

Good point about the water Kuboman. I take it for granted that some people still leave their tractors outside. It's one thing to get caught out in the rain but other than that mine are going in the shed. My wife doesn't even have a spot in my shed unless she is parking a tractor in there. This...

Assuming the fluid level was correct when you started and nothing got added to it. The first thing that came to my mind was to check the vent on the transmission to make sure it's open and able to breath. If it builds up pressure it will find the weakest point to vent and usually will leak...

Nice work aquaforce. I know that you are proud to have it done but it sure looks like all the hard work paid off for you. Your operator in training looked like everything was up to the proper standards and was ready to go for a ride.

The only time a cheap cutter is any good is when you are trying to sell a tractor and want it to seem more appealling for a buyer. Other than that it will be a total disapointment as well as a waste of your money.

It sounds like kubotatech and Butch just got a double play on that bit of advise. It only takes a little bit of water to get in the controls and it does a lot of damage that is never seen until it starts giving problems.

Butch, I'm not even going to ask how you found out that a tractor sinks like a rock but I hope you took pictures and will share them with us.

Good luck with that and let us know how things turn out.

When you drilled the hole did you just let it float down or did you control the speed and let the auger clean the hole out as it went down? If you let it float you are probably lucky that you didn't have a power house tractor with a lot of lift. It may have left the auger in the hole and you...

When you say that you can lift the bucket up that much, can you do this all the time? I have seen this happen after the bucket has been rolled over fast and the oil hasn't had enough time to get the back side of the ram pressurized. If you lift the front end off the ground does your bucket stay...

Are you actually able to push the rams in or when you lift up on the bucket are you just taking the slack up that is in the bucket linkage?

You will need a gauge that is made for this type of testing that will allow for adequate pressure (at least 3000 psi) You will need to install a "T" in the hyd line and hook the gauge into it. Fire it up and see what it says.

It sounds to me like you are loosing your hydrolic pressure. Before I did anything drastic I would check the pressure so you will have some real info to go by.

Hi aquaforce AKA Capt Candle Wax, That sure looks like a awfull clean looking tractor in that pic. What does the rest of it look like? It's not nice to tease your brothers in orange with a partial pic of a tractor that clean.

My friend lost his thumb when he was a teenager and he's in his 70's now. He had to go thru his entire life with that firm reminder of what can happen in a split second. That puts a whole new meaning to safety first.

It was hard to tell very much in the video but was it blowing white smoke out of the exhaust? If so that does sound even more like a fuel problem. Raw fuel being dumped in will make white/light blue smoke and it smells strong most of the time. The reason I asked about the filter brand is...

I would say the King Kutter would be a good cutter but it will be a load. My brother had a B 7500 DT and with a cheap light weight cutter on it I could grab his grill guard and lift the front tire of the ground with no problem. I don't know what the weight was but I feel like it was less than...

I thought about everybody but Case has switched over to the curved boom. I no that CAT, JCB and even John Deere all have curved boom.
