    L2501 Turbo: A Journey Defined - The tractor, The comparison, The modification, The results...

    I was recently contacted by a local Kubota owner with an LX2610 Cab that wants a Turbo Kit. So it looks like we'll probably have a couple new Turbo Kits for 2026! Mike

    ^^^^ I'm confused. Have you seen many lift pump failures at 100 hrs? We have a lot of S2T Turbocharged L2501 tractors with well over 100 hrs and zero problems. Mike

    ^^^^^ One hundred hours is nothing for one of these tractors. Mike

    ^^^^^ Indeed it does! The factory pump provides more than enough fuel for the Turbo Kit. However, OEM components do fail, especially on older/high hour tractors. One of our customers has had to replace his faulty lift pump on an L3240 tractor. Definitely something to keep in mind. Mike

    ^^^^ I firmly believe that if the L3240 had the same fuel setting as my L2501, it would have made more power at 2700 RPM. The dyno operator and I were in favor of bumping the fuel setting but, the owner wanted to keep things very very safe. Mike

    Excellent question/observation! First though, please keep in mind this particular L3240 customer wanted a very safe fuel setting. He wanted to keep his EGT's below 1,100 degrees in the most demanding situations. Even the dyno operator was asking for more fuel because he knew the L3240 had...

    Perhaps the HST+ allows you to hear the Turbo a bit better than the L2501. Here’s a quick video we put together with some cool Turbo sounds: Mike

    What is Messick's Smoking

    I recently placed an order from Coleman’s for gaskets and associated parts for our Kubota Turbo Kits and they were less expensive than both Messicks and my local dealers. Mike

    L2501 Turbo: A Journey Defined - The tractor, The comparison, The modification, The results...

    We had a successful day at the dyno with the L3240. The L3240 Turbo was able to match my L2501’s 44 HP / 35 PTO HP. However, the owner of the tractor wanted to keep EGT’s well below 1,100 degrees and settled on a fuel setting of 1 1/2 turns which produced 33 PTO HP. It was great to see how...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    It’s not mine but, we did install a Turbo in an L3240 :D Mike

    Turning the pumps up!

    BXpanded sells a shim kit to increase the loader hydraulic pressure. I’m not sure if it applies to your tractor model but, I believe the parts are universal, I could be wrong. Just make sure you have proper ballast and don’t go overboard with increasing the pressure. Mike

    L vs LX

    The L2501’s D1703 is manufactured for a variety of applications and power output varies based on regulations for its use. In the L2501 it is significantly detuned. For example, the Injection Pump timing is much more aggressive in the L3240 when compared to a L2501. One thing to consider...

    L4240HSTC-3 Turbo upfit-upgrade?

    We’re expecting the same, or perhaps a bit more power from the L3240. The L3240’s D1703 engine is spec’d to Tier 2 emissions (compared to Tier 4) regulations and the factory injection timing is more aggressive. One thing to consider, however, is that we have 5 Turbocharged L2501’s that have...

    I would like to express a big thank you to @5280GearHead for taking the leap of faith and purchasing the S2T Performance Turbo Kit. We also thank him for making the modifications required for fitment, supplying pictures and of course, his feedback on the Turbo Kit and the performance...
