I ended up getting one of these. More expensive but the sides are removable. https://coldrollindustrial.com/product-category/compact-tractor-attachments/kubota-compact-tractor-attachments/rock-and-skeleton-buckets-kubota-compact-tractor-attachments/

Well, a valve stuck open would definitely kill compression.

I don't think the fluid level in the front axle has anything to do with it. The steering system uses separate fluid. I also don't think that's normal for a 50 series or an 80 series. I wouldn't think it would be normal for any seal on the vehicle to be leaking every 300 or 400 hours.... The...

I know nothing about the specific model for the record. Gasoline engine? Flames in the exhaust means you're either running too rich or the mix isn't combusting correctly due to either lack of compression or ignition. If the engine feels like it's running lean but you have flames you may have a...

It definitely isn't it normal. I don't have that problem on mine (my hours are just above yours) but I do lose a noticeable amount of power when the fluid gets hot. My hydraulic pressure was a little low so I did raise it and that helped some. But there's still a problem somewhere. I haven't had...

Is the transmission fluid full? Can you get the fluid hot another way (like the backhoe) and see if it still does it?

You're right, it is.

Sounds like you have the Kubota diverter valve. There is also a Land Pride third function kit (as well as some aftermarket) that has 2 buttons. Each has it's advantages.

It's a big country. What you call soda and what I call soda may not be the same thing. That's why clarification is important. Helps to dispel confusion. As far as standards, I agree with you 100%. Things would be a lot easier if they were adhered to. They're not completely. And they never will...

Make sure where you're measuring is the same as where the shop is. I needed hoses and measured centerline of fitting (90*) to end of fitting (straight). The shop measured just the hose length. And the fittings they supplied were longer than the originals. The hoses ended up being almost 6 inches...

Holy...... I don't know the brand, but Denso is common for Japanese cars and at least some of the parts on my Kubota are denso. They make good parts. If you can find one made by them you should be fine.

I've never seen an AC system that wasn't designed to run at idle. If it runs "fine" at higher RPMs you're just masking the problem and making it worse. Gauges aren't going to do you any good in this instance either. If the refrigerant is low it won't cool as well or won't run at all (safety...

Stump bucket is handy for digging in and ripping out stuff your loader bucket can't handle and you don't feel like pulling the excavator out. A rock bucket can also be handy for ripping out roots, though I don't know how it compares to a grapple. Probably not as good for larger roots, but...

If you're loading whole logs onto your sawmill you'll probably run into some you can't lift. As handy as a quick attach is (they're very handy), you may want to consider pin on forks so you can maximize the weight of the logs you can move. Wouldn't hurt to have a quick attach too. I have both...

Everyone loves talking shit about how little the BX can do. Most of them are wrong. You're not going to overwork it digging this amount of dirt. Period. Taking the dirt in the amount it's designed for is what' it's supposed to do. Lets say it takes you 1000 hours to do this (it won't). You're...

Wow Glad you came out ok. And glad you posted this AFTER I rented a bucket lift last weekend....

Just a few bullet points -If you have a clog in your system it won't work at all. No flow. The exception being if the condenser (or evaporator for that matter) is partially blocked. -If you have a restriction you will have ice after the restriction. That's why the low side line coming off the...

Are they not working at all or just inaccurate? If they're inaccurate, how far are they off? Factory gauges are notoriously inaccurate in general, aside from extremes (full/empty cold/overtemp). 400 hours in 9 years is a lot of sitting. Outside in the rain and sun? When things sit unprotected...

Pretty much any lift you rent will also be hydraulic, with hoses. There may or may not be a safety lockout built into the system. I think the likelihood of a catastrophic blowout from lifting something like that is close to nil. Just because something looks scary doesn't mean it's unsafe...

I'll echo the front mount recommendation. So much easier.
