Contrary to the manual I changed the hydro fluid and both filters at the first 50 hours when I first took ownership of the 2650. Fast forward four years and I'm at about 350 hours. I have read recommendations where changing oil annually despite the amount of time put on the machines was a good...

Silly question but, I was just topping off my hydro fluid and I noticed the gears in the fill hole. They are clean, rust free, and dry. I thought to engage the rear pto to keep em lubed. Will that engage those gears I see? Is it OK to engage the rear pto while the backhoe is on. I've never...

I was looking for some clarification, on flushing the radiator and refilling. On page G-34 of the service manual on line 4 It says to fill with clean water and cooling system cleaner, etc etc. On page G-36 on line 6 it says When the LLC is mixed, do not employ any radiator cleaning...

I was tearing out the scourge of the earth (Japanese bayberry) yesterday with my FEL. Work was seemingly lightweight, went in maybe a few inches with the PBar to take up the root systems and deposited the rubbish out to a distant field. After a few hours I smelled hydro fluid and I noticed...

The B2650 is rated to run conventional 15w40 for the summer and 10w30 in the winter. I picked up the Shell rotella 15w40 synthetic blend to do an oil change today. I see Shell makes a 5w40 full synthetic as well as Mobil 1. Can I safely use the 5w40? Wouldnt it be better being full...

I was in the market for a side by side. I'll be using mine primarily for hauling firewood through the woods. I looked around at numerous trailers. It was tough choice deciding on what to pick but I ended up going for a polar hd 1500. It was a poly version, not unlike the mini 10 cubic foot JD...

Here's one from a heavily wooded section of my property. 200+ photos but the diversity is nice. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0ByXrNU763scGRUhvRFpFMWlnM3c Keep em comin

2 feet of snow so far today. Everything was working fine on my first few passes. I took an hour break and went back to blowing snow, except this time when I got the 2650 going, and engaged the mid pto, the chute was rattling something fierce. It shakes forwards and backwards. The engine bay...

My inspiration for buying Kubota. These shots were taken a few years back just before he passed. My father had this for just over 20 years and according to my mother, never went to the shop. My son was 4 at the time and following his lead doing some maintenance work. He used it for his tree and...

I read that the engine is the same, but the 2650 was tuned down 3HP to fly under the epa radar. Is there a way to precisely and safely turn up the rpm's to get a little boost? Adjust the governor? I find I drop rpm's when operating the blower or the blade uphill down to 2000-2300. I have to...

Its 22 degrees outside. I was actually looking forward to using the snowblower today after using the blade the last few storms we had. I was just about done with the drive and just as I was approaching my garage, TONS of black smoke came billowing out of the tailpipe! I slowed it down and shut...

I've been getting alot of trespassers on my property. Most of em hunters besides two occasions where it was just some punk kid on an atv and some drunk guy picking my blueberries. I've posted signs, hung a few trail cams, blocked trails with trees (used the forks on my bota to drop some giant...

Im looking for any quick tips or experiences anyone could share with using the snowblower and the snowblade. Yesterday, due to the heavy snow, my chute kept getting jammed. a royal pita, I cleared it with a pipe and had to back it up and lift the blower to eat a few pile ups happening in front...

On page 13 and subsequent pages of the manual, it states that "in order to avoid damaging the fixed driveline (item 7), remove it when using the blade" I'll assume the blade refers to the snowplow blade. I havent hooked up my blade yet, but I dont see why it should have to be removed when I use...

Hookin up my snowblower today and I couldn't get one coupler back on so I loosened it up to let the fluid out. All I had lying around was the yellow tape for gas lines. It looks like the guys who put the tractor together used just white tape on all the couplers from what I can see. I googled...

I got my equalizer hitch in the mail a few days ago. It wants the load on the trailer to set it up properly. So I was preparing to drive the 2650 on the trailer for the first time. When I was with the salesman and ordering the trailer I told him it was for the 2650 and my zero turn. I was...

Best practices? I have a few paths I need to make a bit more stable to gain access to parts of the woods so I can haul some trees out with my forks. One is real steep and uneven. I tried going at it straight on with the FEL (with my PB) and it seemed to work well but I kept up turning larger...

Hey guys, After seeing "Unloading tractor from Trailer causes accident in PA" :eek: http://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27153 and being that I just got my 20' dovetail trailer yesterday, and I live in PA (double whammy) I think nows a good time to ask for any advice or...

I'm hoping to get some time in the future to work on reducing the hst whine in the 2650. I found a guy who worked on his 3030. The before and after video he made is listed as private but he seems to have had some measure of success. I personally didn't think it was possible, but he claims it's...

The ones I bought from the dealership match the numbers listed on the kubota site. The ones I took out from the machine are smaller. The inner filter won't fit the hole. The outer filter just barely fits inside the case. I just got off the phone with Messick's. The kubota website has a parts...
