    MX condenser screen is worthless

    The chaff build up is from grasses in front of the machine that release when the grass stalks start to get pushed down as the tractor runs them over.

    MX condenser screen is worthless

    Again, woodman55 thanks for the screen measurements from my other thread. I’ll measure my condenser when I’m back on the job site and if it’s pretty close I’ll order the L60 screen. Having run the L4060 last year, I didn’t have this problem so I attribute it to the really lousy MX screen. In...

    Grand L 60 cab tractor owners - need a quick favor

    Hi folks, Could someone pull the metal screen that protects the AC condenser and just give me a quick measurement of width x length of the screen? This is the first screen that pulls straight up to remove, not the larger one for the radiator that slides out sideways. I now have an MX6000 cab...

    Lol, sorry for the hijack. Should have moved my part to the chat section.

    MX condenser screen is worthless

    Here's a pic of my previous tractor, an L4060. Although the hydraulic and fuel coolers are set in front of the condenser, in this arrangement you can see the much nicer screen (metal, tight fit) that just pulls up vertically. The radiator also had its own screen, although it was more of a pain...

    Trailer ramp problems

    I'm afraid the Vortec 6.0L will be a better engine than the new 6.6L gas that replaces it. The old 6.0L was great because it was so simple - port injection, no cylinder deactivation, no variable valve timing. Just a good old pushrod 2-valve V8. In an application like a one-ton dump, the gas is...

    MX condenser screen is worthless

    Yes, there is a flimsy flexible screen not of full width which hangs in front of the condenser about an inch ahead of it, allowing chaff to be sucked in past it on the sides or around it quite easily. Behind the condenser is the hydraulic fluid cooler. Above that (and the condenser) is the fuel...

    Guns...Times have changed...

    Some people will heavily criticize me for this, but I would rather have a gun in the hands of a psycho than have laws that keep guns from the millions of law abiding citizens.

    Trailer ramp problems

    I also have a 2020 Mustang GT 6-speed manual as my side toy. I love the Corvette. The C6 is my favorite generation. Your 2016 is a better car but I felt the true classic styling was changed just enough to make me prefer the older generation. That said, the C7 is a much nicer looking Corvette...

    MX condenser screen is worthless

    Thanks for the replies. The magnet idea is something I hadn't thought of and a good solution. Sounds like Kubota isn't the only one with dumb designs. Right now I'm very angry with Kubota. I mowed for 4 hours yesterday to finish a job. I brought a soft nylon bristle round thin brush to try and...

    Guns...Times have changed...

    BMeyers, I agree completely with your lengthy post. Powerful leaders have no problem implementing laws that would remove guns from the hands of law abiding citizens because they know that they will still have armed personal security. I guarantee if these leaders were told the laws they were...

    Trailer ramp problems

    I could talk trucks with you all day. You have a nice truck! A family member just bought a new 2022 GMC 3500 Denali with the Duramax / 10 speed. It is a very quick truck. I'm well aware even though it says "Allison" on the emblem it is really a GM-built HD 10 speed that is mostly just a...

    Guns...Times have changed...

    No. You're falling into the trap that somehow guns are at fault, and if we could "limit" them in someway, we could save lives. When it comes to your freedoms, never give an inch. Once those freedoms are relinquished, they rarely return. Let me put it this way. Suppose I wanted to kill people at...

    Trailer ramp problems

    That is flat out nuts. People are clueless. I saw a guy trying to tow a KX080 behind a GMC Sierra 2500 ....20,000lbs of excavator and probably 7,000lbs of trailer behind a 2500 Denali that probably had 2000lbs of payload. The truck was doing the Carolina Squat and all I could hope was that he...

    Trailer ramp problems

    With loaded rear tires, a loader, and a basic rear implement the L4701 can weigh in excess of 6,000lbs. A significant trailer should be used, and most already have ramps built in or included for specific use with such a trailer. I would imagine a trailer with a 6,000+ lb payload would need to...

    Guns...Times have changed...

    None of these "mass shootings" have any impact on how I feel about the right of an American citizen to own and bear firearms. The 2A was written by our founding fathers for the express purpose of the citizen to be able to say "NO" to the government when the government overstepped it's bounds...

    Trailer ramp problems

    I would just use a ratchet strap on each ramp to secure them while loading and unloading the tractor. The solutions offered above are better, but for the short term a strap would be fine. An L4701 is a significant tractor, so be aware of that. Posting a picture of your current trailer / ramp...

    Kubota L2500DT Normal Operating Temperature and Operating Time

    180F is a very good operating temp. With the tractor completely cool, you can always use a low pressure garden hose to clean the radiator cores out since this is the usual reason a tractor overheats. Also verify the coolant is topped up. You can run a tractor all day, every day.

    MX condenser screen is worthless

    Well, the condenser is not the same. The compressor is, but not the condenser. It might still be the same size but with different mounts. The L4060 screen is $50, and the guides are about $18 per side. I was thinking of buying the screen anyway, since it is still a better fit than the factory...
