    1999 L2500 Engine oil capacity

    Did you start it and check again? Depending on if you were able to pre-fill the filter the level should go down after you run it long enough to establish oil pressure.

    Home made Ballast Box.....

    Isn't that 240 pounds of mix, before you add the water?

    Rear remote coupler type

    What should I expect to pay? My Running's has them for about $15. I think I still have the pioneer ends I took off to hook implements to my JD, so I can probably just put them back on the implements they came off of. If it latches in the socket with the tractor not running does that mean...

    Piranha Tooth Bar

    Do you recall the drill bit size? 6 foot bucket if it varies? Thanks,

    Crunch Time Keep L3901 or buy new L3560

    I also prefer an open station, and our winters are no fun at all. I think I would resent a cab half of the year and it sucks going out in the winter any way you look at it.

    Piranha Tooth Bar

    I think you guys have sold me on one. Just want to verify that this bar is what you're talking about? (I see lots of similar products & want to make sure I'm looking at the one you're praising) Is there anything special about their drill bit? (Just a step bit in a common size for those w/...

    L3901, L4701, or MX5400

    Given that I'm using 60 year old equipment, but I save a lot of time by mowing slower anyway. I have pastures that I mow once a year with a 50 hp Ford and a 6 foot rotary mower. I could mow in 2nd or 3rd, but then I'm breaking stuff--shear pins for sure and normally more. I just mow in...

    New to diesel -- what don't I know?

    I'm pretty OCD and would have issues parking it if it were below a half tank. I guess a holdover from living in a humid climate back when gas tanks were metal. I would normally keep several full cans around, but this whole winter/summer fuel thing has me looking for the best compromise. This...

    New to diesel -- what don't I know?

    1) What's a good biocide? 2) Is PowerService in the white bottle sufficient to keep summer fuel from gelling? If so, to what temps? I'll get winter fuel as soon as I can, but will have some summer fuel still in the tank. 3) Going the other way, is it better to not burn winter-mixed fuel...

    Paint Colors that are "close enough"?

    Orange II? Orange I? Which do I have on a 2012? Folks around here must still be old-school. I see the JD and IH flavors, but not Kubota Orange. Thanks,

    Paint Colors that are "close enough"?

    Is there a Rustoleum or other decent metal paint that kinda sorta matches Kubota Orange and/or Kubota Grey? My Runnings has green and red paints with a picture of a tractor on the can that pretty much matches those (but takes care to not say Deere or IH, so it costs the same as the other...

    How mad should I be?

    This seems to be a common problem. Did Kubota leave a line out of one version of the dealer-prep instructions?

    L3901, L4701, or MX5400

    Thanks, it's hard to imagine that wide of a mower with that little HP cutting too many 2" sapplings all at once.

    L3901, L4701, or MX5400

    It sayeth: cutting capacity 2". Does that mean 2" tall grass (why bother ) or 2" diameter saplings (unbelievable) or something else?

    New to diesel -- what don't I know?

    I agree, and I don't see how leaving it at full throttle can be a good idea. Just wanted to make sure I'm not missing anything!

    New to diesel -- what don't I know?

    This is what I was looking to find out about. This will be a low-hour use tractor, especially in the fall. I like to keep the tank full and plenty of extra on hand, so I need something to add to the august fuel so it'll still work in November. I assume that it's ok to put the summer snake oil...

    Gear Shift Range Low/Medium/High

    How do you have it ballasted? And do you have ag tires? (I just bought a Kubota, with loaded ag tires and wondering what I can drive across w/out messing it up)
