Lately, I've noticed noise that appears to be coming from the U joint in the front axle driveshaft. The front drive shaft is enclosed and there is no mention of any required servicing of the U joint in the Owner's Manual. Upon loosening the plastic joint between the rear driveshaft cover and...

Recently, I snagged the rear work lamp on my L6060 ROPS destroying it. Upon replacing it, I discovered that an identical replacement lamp including bracket to mount to the bracket attached to the ROPS by U-bolt (both undamaged in my case) retails for $153.** through Kubota Parts, whereas a...

A close friend of mine is interested in an MX 6000 ROPS and I am advising him regarding options, etc. I cannot find the third function valve for the MX 6000 ROPS on the Kubota Build It Yourself website. Is this aftermarket only or has Kubota removed it from the site due to availability issues...

Decided to do a bit of mowing with the L6060 ROPS today in a heavily obstructed area that I routinely mow about twice each year. Not much more than an acre but takes about 3 hours due to dozens, dozens, and dozens of cedar trees and steep ground. Backing in beneath each tree to clip grass and...

Anyone shopped for an RTVX-1100C lately? If so, how is availability and delivery time? I've heard that they are just about unavailable and think this might be a good time to sell the one that I have but do not use. SDT

Anyone breaking the bracket that attaches the stabilizer bars to the lower lift arms on L6060 tractors? Bracket is a weldment with welded-on threaded stud to attack bracket to lift arm. Stud is held to lift arm with interference nut and lock washer. Left side bracket broke within warranty and...

Worked the L6060 ROPS hard yesterday mowing former pasture ground (no fences or animals) that had not been mowed yet this year. Mostly orchard grass and fescue. Needed to cut it so that the dogbane can grow back before spraying (again) in a month or so. The dogbane will grow back more quickly...

Anyone noticed the $10/bucket coupon for SUDT2 on the Finance page of the Kubota website. Type in your model number and serial number and Kubota sends you a coupon code via email for 1-3 buckets. I received one today. Tough to get much of a discount on Kubota oils. SDT

I have a rarely used RTVX-1100C bought new in 2017. When buying, I specified front work lights (dual) and rear work light(s) (only available in single). All are halogen. Yesterday, I viewed a new looking, municipally owned RTVX-1100C also with dual front work lights which looked identical to...

Readjusting the Bi-Speed turn clutch on my B1750HST has been on my list of things to do for several years and I'm hoping to tackle it this winter. I bought my B1750 new in 1993, it has never had a FEL or front weights on it, and I use the tractor only to mow my lawn with a 60" MMM and to plow...

I use a detent valve on my M9960 to operate the single acting lift cylinder on my Woods BW-15.50 BW cutter. This valve is the standard position 1 valve on my 9960. Since inception, the mower has been annoyingly slow to lower, whereas raising speed is appropriate. Assuming that there was a...

Many (most, all?) manufacturers pay their dealers for set-up and PDI. Anyone know conclusively if Kubota does? SDT

I'm a big fan of reciprocating steam as well as a big RR fan. The video below shows Norfolk & Western 611, one of the very last steam locomotives built in the United States, doing what it was designed to do. The Norfolk & Western J class locomotives and her contempory Y class freight...

I just returned home from the International Farm Machinery Show in Louisville, KY where I saw my first LX3310 and LX2610. The 2610 is little changed from the 2650 aside from the expected availability of an optional "Swift-Tach" FEL, allowing attachment/detachment of the FEL without leaving the...

Several days ago someone posted in a thread that the emissions (only) warranty for the B3350 had been extended to eight years. At the time, I asked from where this information was derived. I cannot recall if the thread was here or on TBN but have not been able to locate the thread in either...

As expected, the new LX3310 is common rail injected. This should eliminate the regeneration issues that so plagued the B3350. Cab models have LED work lights and optional air ride seat. Both models offer single lever FEL hydraulic connections. Quick connect front hitch similar to BX models...

My local dealer just received their first M4. It's a 12 speed Deluxe model with cab. It appears that Kubota has responded to customer complaints about the pizza cutter front tires supplied with the 7060 model. This M4 has metric tires with two piece, adjustable front rims, unlike the one piece...

Today I learned from my dealer who learned it from their Kubota representative that Kubota is no longer accepting orders for the B3350 (at least in my Midwest region) and that the common rail replacement will be announced at the dealer's meeting in September. SDT

My B3350 is finally "finished" and will be delivered today or tomorrow. The cylinder head was "rebuilt" including new valve seals to stop oil from getting past the seals/guides, being burnt by the engine, and ending up in the DPF. Do not know what else was done to the cylinder head as the work...

Yesterday, I used my new 15' batwing mower for the first time after the right side gearbox had been replaced with the correct CCW unit. Tried it about three weeks ago only to discover that the right spindle was rotating CW rather than CCW, as designed. As you can imagine, it didn't cut with a D...
