    B8200 oil light low rpm

    When you replace the oil filter check the old filter, It is entirely possible that someone put the wrong filter on your machine, Just because a filter fits does not mean that it will work properly and a filter that is too restrictive can cause you oil pressure light to flicker at low RPMs, A...

    B6000 is it worth it?

    I am with Meanjean on the rear mount mower, It can be unhooked literally within a few minutes and driven away from, Easy to use, You can back up to edges of ponds and ditches and mow and unlike a mid mount mower where if you get hung up the 3 point rear mower lifts higher and you can get...

    Tapping into hydraulics on B6000

    With dual acting cylinders the fluid amount used basically never changes after your initial refill to top off lines and cylinder, When the cylinder goes into the extended position the fluid is used to push the piston up and when the cylinder goes into the retracted position the fluid is used to...

    Tapping into hydraulics on B6000

    I have the same valve on my B5100E, I use it to control a hydraulic cylinder to raise and lower a snow plow, That valve was optional on some of the B series machines and is still available thru your Kubota dealership at a very hefty price, You may be able to find it at one of the used tractor...

    Plug repair R4 tire

    I have had both and in my opinion they are about the same, The plug is probably the quickest and can be done in the field, I have a plug kit in my tool box, The plug can be put in a tire that is fluid filled without removing the fluid whereas some of the patches do require breaking the bead thus...

    Plug repair R4 tire

    I see no problem with plugging the tire as long as you are only plugging the tread and not the sidewall. Generally tire sidewall pluging is not done, They sell plug kits at most Auto stores, TSC has them and you could always get your local auto shop to do it for you if you were not comfortable...

    L3800 Clutch

    My B7500HSD has the same rattle, I believe it is caused(on my machine) by a slight excess in clearance between the throwout bearing and the clutch fingers allowing the throwout bearing to bounce lightly back and forth off the clutch fingers, I have always been going to adjust it but it is one of...

    Maybe I’m over complicating my hydraulic issue

    What I think you are asking is can you hook up 2 control valves(spool) in series, You have high pressure going from your pump to the IN side of your loader spool valve and you want to connect the OUT side to the IN side of the spool valve to control your dump trailer and then route the OUT...

    B7100 rear liquid ballast question

    Can't argue about that:) What did they fill them with? I contacted several places in my area, 2 used calcium chloride, 1 used RimGuard, Both were about the same price at $3.50 per gallon.

    B7100 rear liquid ballast question

    You can buy a fill adaptor kit at TSC for a few bucks, Minus 20 degree rated windshield wiper solution can be purchased for a low as $1.75 per gallon, For the smaller tires it is not a hard task but for larger tires it is easier to have it done, My local tire shop also deals with a lot of the...

    converting to a hydraulic tipping trailer, help required if possible.

    Many conventional dump trailers use a single acting (gravity down) multi stage(telescoping) type cylinder ram, This is done when space puts restrictions on the length of ram space available,Some mount the cylinder so that it pushes straight up which means that you need a well big enough to...

    converting to a hydraulic tipping trailer, help required if possible.

    Is the purpose of the trailer to make it tilt for loading the tractor on or do you mean a dump trailer like a dump truck for unloading material like mulch or soil?

    Kubota vs. Mahindra

    Not being able to find an online forum would not be a precursor to buying a tractor for me, However a dealer/dealers within reasonable driving distance would be. I did a quick search for my area for Kubota Dealers and there are 3 within a 50-60 mile radius I then did a search for Mahindra...

    BX 2360 Sweeper for snow

    If the sweepers only purpose was to remove snow that would seem a rather expensive method of doing it, Since you already have a snowblower and loader it would seem that either of these would be a method I would choose.

    solenoid for B7000

    You might be able to get the solenoid rebuilt, There is not a lot to them and many times it is just the contact points that get burnt or worn, If you have a local starter/alternator shop they may be able to rebuild it fo you for less than the cost of a new one.

    "OMG" My Poor Little B7100

    Is the bore for the bolt worn or is the bolt itself worn or both, If it were mine I would weld the part then if the bore was too worn I would either ream it out and tac weld a bushing in place and if the bolt showed any sign of wear I would probably replace the bolt. Weld it up and add some fish...

    kubota orange II

    I would do a test area first to determine if you could get away without thinning it, You may be able to but some paints will drag if not thinned and some may take a long time to dry and some never dry if not thinned properly. The metal prep is definately a good idea followed by some decent primer.
