I assume the red dye doesn't affect the properties of the UDT-2. Yeah definitely be careful in the woods haha. I have seen people make/buy guards to bolt under the tractor to protect the hydrostatic filter and hydraulic filter and what not. I don't have much of a wooded area so I'm not...

I'm gonna print out the manual from Kubota. I can atleast read it and go from there. I've serviced other stuff before, I'm not worried about that too much. I'll definitely be checking wheels torque specs. Although I found out yesterday it has what appears to be (according to what's left of the...

Alright. I can get the red dye for it at least and go from there. That will be a good indication. Doesn't the 2502 use a dip stick? I heard others saying even with dip sticks. It's hard to see the hydraulic fluid.

I'm a little nervous with it. Part of me wishes I bought new because I don't know much about them. It's a risk and I could be throwing money away for all I know. Their hours are this dealership suck. This Thursday/Friday I'll be able to go there and actually test it fully before giving them...

That might be a good idea. Little costly but peace of mind too. Worth it. My other thought was bringing to a Kubota dealer and have it inspected and serviced to make sure it's good to go.

Yeah the sight glass is pure white for what I could tell shinning my phones light in there. The hydraulic cylinders slide back and forth because there's like no grease but it's sitting in the rain for a while. The previous owner wanted a bigger tractor with a cab. I guess he preferred JD for...

That's a good idea. That red dye isn't harmful to it?

Thanks! I been researching grease and now I'm like burned out. I never seen people argue so much over grease before, it's crazy! I know that grease is better than no grease. I have typically always used NGL #2 on everything. But I never had a loader before which folks seem to say grease with...

I had to visit my tractor today. I could feel it being lonely in the sea of other green tractors. I have to admit, it's a nice view. My first time siting on it today. Did another quick once over today, the loader definitely needs to be greased. Hopefully it will be ok to use it to load into...

I will definitely be interested in wiring up additional lighting. I've done a lot of professional wiring for lights on trucks and side by sides. But never a tractor before so I'm looking for ideas! I seen a few use light bars, some use pods on the ROPS. For me personally, I'd love to wiring up...

I came across this from Messicks...wonder if it's any good? "For professional use only" Hmm guess I can't use it then....dang.

I like the setup! Th grapple looks handy. Having a forest like that on your property must smell incredible in the fall! Nothing like it.

I will share my experience! I'm in no rush though, frost is starting to take hold here anyways. I'm hoping over winter I can find one at a good price.

Looks great!! I'm pretty much settled on getting a box blade. New or used. Not a lot on the used market here. However I noticed dealers do sell second hand ones, maybe I can get a good price on a rugged one. I was looking at the Land pride BB1566 which is nearly 500 pounds.

That's a good point. So I'm like a hero then 😂 When I get on the tractor I'm gonna have to pet it and say "you're safe now, you are home".

I'm going to assume the transmission and the hydraulics use the same oil. I mean it's hydrostatic I guess. But they must be share the oil?

If Kubota's measurements are accurate, there should be a few inches of clearance haha. I'll definitely be careful. My garage doors are 9 feet high. Ceiling is 13 feet roughly so I should be able to lift the loader max height for servicing the fluids/filters. I do know when I check hydraulic...

The bigger issue with that is it's not gonna dig down below the pot holes I assume. Unless I rip up the drive way with the bucket and then use the rear blade to smooth it out and crown it after. I see some folks add cylinders in the rear for down pressure but that would be expensive lol.

Watching videos on this tractor and all the implements is all I been doing for the last 2 weeks hahaha. I even dream about this stuff 😂😂 Just trying to fill my head with knowledge. Just watching skilled operators on these is really helpful watching how they use the loader or a box blade/land...

That would be ideal to be honest.
