    Front Axle Oil Level

    My 2501 took over 3 quarts. It was just one of the 27 things that was wrong with it at delivery. It showed up with no diesel in it (below E). If I had known I would've had them put it back on the truck and canceled the deal. What makes me mad is someone lied when they signed the pre-delivery...

    Diesel Transfer Tanks/Pump

    I have the 10 gallon flo fast. I used it to suck out the rusty diesel out of my old tractor as well. Purchased the mesh screen filter for it too. It's not cheap, but it beats lugging 5 gallon cans around. I don't do much tractor work that requires a lot of diesel so 10 gallons lasts me a long time.

    in the market for a grapple

    I would order whatever brand you want ASAP and plan on waiting. Plenty of info in the EA thread about them.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Finally got the box blade hooked up. I might widen the rear tires, it is still way tippier than my old 135. Notice the strategic cardboard box for picking up beer cans people throw into my ditch. I know this is a kubota forum but the 135 needs some attention also.

    12% surcharge just announced on Kubota products and up to 20% on implements ...

    Still holding steady on the plywood with crazy prices, must be trying to dump old stock they purchased at higher prices. Excuse I hear is the deep freeze in February shut down all the chemical plants near Houston so the glue prices went up. PVC is also extremely high.

    Just Purchased an L3901

    Why does this happen so often in this forum? Just because YOU don't agree doesnt mean he's wrong. Be happy for the guy. Reminds me of an old timer telling me I'm stupid for buying XX car or tool.

    EverythingMoneyAttachments. All the money up front?

    I knew I was in for a wait when I ordered. I would rather they promise a longer date and deliever earlier. Doesn't look like they'll make the 12 weeks they promised. I watched a YouTube video of a new grapple design without the DOM. Maybe that's part of it also.

    EverythingMoneyAttachments. All the money up front?

    I ordered end of May, so I'm probably around 500. I might actually get my top and tilt sooner.

    Just Purchased an L3901

    I don't blame you. I had a terrible setup experience with my kubota tractor. If I had known I would've had them put it back on the truck to the dealer. I killed them on the kubota survey. For this reason I'll never purchase from them again. Hope you enjoy your new tractor.

    Just Purchased an L3901

    I didn't sign anything until they unloaded the tractor at my land. They ordered all the items I requested on my word and our verbal agreement.

    Switching grease and pondering compatibility issues

    I use amsoil synthetic. Bought in bulk at the member price its the same or close to lucas. I put it in 3 different machines and didn't think about what was already in there.

    In need of a quality sprayer for weed control.

    I purchased my sprayer from sprayer depot online. It has an aluminum frame so it's not very heavy. Gas driven hypro pump is a beast. I've never had much luck with electric pumps. I know they sell tractor models as well. Won't be cheap. Mine was about 3500 and its just a skid with a 100 gallon tank.

    Down the rabbit hole of comparing tractors that have a cab.

    I like the 6060 but I don't understand all the features. I have watched the Messicks video. Like too many dipping sauces. Cant choose.

    Any Gravel Spreading Tips?

    Looks good. It takes many hours to master a box blade. Even then I still get mad at it. I like the fabric. I prefer geogrid myself. Fabric will keep it from pumping (soil) up into the road.

    Synthetic or Conventional motor oil in Kubota diesels

    I test my Honda cars. Mobil 0w-20 for both. I run them to 10K miles and there's still life left in the oil. I change it at 10K though because the test shows lots of fuel from the direct injection even when brand new. I don't test every time though since its about $35 each test. I would be...

    EverythingMoneyAttachments. All the money up front?

    We order millions of dollars in steel from a huge company. You know how long the quotes are good for? Until the end of the day. That's how crazy the steel market is. Small companies don't get the benefit of floating millions in steel for months at a time.

    Synthetic or Conventional motor oil in Kubota diesels

    My 60 year old tractor gets 15-40 rotella dino. It has the factory leak/replenish feature of old tractors so it's always getting an oil change. I'm not sure what I'll do to the 2501. Mobil1 5 40 seems to be a favorite, but the manual does not mention it, only 15 40 or 10 30. Rotella T4 15-40...

    Glad you got to talk to Travis. He seemed like a stand-up no BS guy when I talked to him.

    EverythingMoneyAttachments. All the money up front?

    I know Travis at EA has read this thread...because he told me he did when I bought mine. I think they would want to prevent some bad PR even if it might only cost them a few orders. I've read some "EA response" messages in the reviews on their site for various implements and it seems like they...

    EverythingMoneyAttachments. All the money up front?

    I would send it back and either get my money back, or ask for a new one from the front of the line.
