    LX2610 block heater location

    It may be a bit colder here yet in S Manitoba than N Idaho and I also rarely need the block heater. A few times at least I've forgotten to plug it in when -20C even colder, yet tried and it ain't pretty but a good long glow and she coughed to life. I attribute at least some of its ability to...

    B2650 Hydro Noise

    Others here know hydraulics and their controls way better than me, but what I'm hearing is: - the whine occurs when operating the loader, no HST in use - it only happens once the hydraulics are at operating temperature, i.e. normal working hot. then my initial focus would be the loader...

    B2650 Hydro Noise

    Kubota SUDT2 (Premium UDT here in Canada), Kubota filters, maintain according to service schedule. This is what I do. The whine is still there, but lessened. And it purrs a bit quieter after a fresh change. The tractor still hauls ass pulling and doing other hydraulics work with that trans and...

    B2650 Hydro Noise

    My experience is the whine decreased over the years. 1300hrs on mine, quietest it's been since new. And every hst fluid and filter change (using Premium UDT here in Canada) it's been quieter.

    New kid in school, seeking advice.

    My B2782B Snow Blower has an equivalent for the LX, about the same size at 63", for a front mount anyway. Does great! I've kept 1000 ft driveways clear for neighbors, as well as our own 400 feet, parking area, and various trails.

    New kid in school, seeking advice.

    Some jobs a larger heavier costlier tractor could do in less time. Some jobs my compact tractor can't do. But for all the work that it's needed for here, it can handle, just maybe a bit slower than her bigger sister tractors. The main thing is to size the implements and attachments...

    New kid in school, seeking advice.

    I started my tractor journey with a hand-crank-the-flywheel start 2 cyl JD Model B with the compression relief valves. cha-chug, cha-chug cha-chug and close them, you're away. I worked with a Deutz air-cooled beast for a few years in there somewhere. Tinkered with a well worn late 40's Farmall...

    Loss of Power in cold conditions

    Were you clearing cold dusty snow with a front snow blower with snow and ice crystals billowing around the tractor front? Check inside the air filter housing for snow blockage. This happened to me the first winter with my blower. The filter was so packed full I could barely remove the filter to...

    Chain Lubrication on LX2980 snow blower

    I "cheat" the seat safety switch with a zip tie, as a tailbone condition means I need to mostly stand up while operating the tractor. So for the snowblower lube I stop and set park brakes and lower to idle with the blower engaged, then squirt some chain oil into the lube hole while it's...

    BX 25 Doesn't stop well when cold/First use? Brakes and hydro.

    Soak the hst pedal linkages with WD40 and wipe/soak/air nozzle clean up the excess with a rag, then coat the assembly linkages with Fluid Film for long lasting lube and protection from moisture.

    Backhoe and snowblower

    Yes, my B2650 has the BH77 and front 63" blower on it right now! Basically the same tractor frame as your LX3310.

    Don't buy a bigger tractor than you need.

    Anything not a "money pit" , with new pricing being out of the question, good luck with that! It took me a couple of years constantly shopping used to realize that a Kubota with the attachments or implements that I needed was nearly the same price of new. They're incredibly good at holding...

    B3300SU Fluid Change Confusion

    1. You've drained the engine, not the tranny/hydraulics 2. The previous tranny/hydraulics fluid fill was the wrong fluid, auto tranny fluid maybe? 3. The hydraulic pump and/or transmission is fried. Burnt. 4. 2. + 3. I hope it's 1. Otherwise BIG trouble.

    box blade/snow pusher

    Why drag it around when you can push it ahead of the loader! Must have welded SSQA attachment points to the boxblade's rear.

    Don't buy a bigger tractor than you need.

    I don't mow 20 acres. I mow maybe 3 total. Yards, trails, work yards, logging road, ditches. 5' bush-hog mainstay. 1000lbs loads of firewood stacked in pallet crates. Done. Harvesting and hauling firewood from tamarack forest in back 80 acres. Chipping branches. Snow blowing the trail. Done...

    Don't buy a bigger tractor than you need.

    You are entirely incorrect on that, Mr. Youtz. That determination depends ENTIRELY on what your needing from the machine. So far the B2650HSD has been absolutely the best size for my needs, and I've operated other tractors, Kubotas, of sizes smaller and larger, so know precisely of what I speak...
