Nubie gets a new Kubota l1 series

[red 2.7]

Hi Orange Folks

I Bought a country property and it came with a Kubota Sunshine L126 4 wheel drive tractor. The former owner is not available at all.
I have no idea how to start or operate it. It came with a shed full of implements like a three point hitch snow blower, brush hog, Kioti loader , side extension for the brush hog, wood chipper, a splitter and firewood cut off saw. Can anyone point me to the right North American model so I can find an owner's manual? Or, describe the operation of all the levers to me? I'm a city boy just retiring to the country in the next couple of weeks. I have 90 acres of woods with a lot of trails. "Green Acres" here we are.

Welcome to OTT Wally. I guess you give new meaning to the term, "Wally World."
You could check with Sota Tractors at: http://www.sotatractors.com/home

First thing to do is change all the fluids including the fuel.

Nice looking machine - I would sit back and do some research on your model and get to know her one step at a time. A mistake now would be ........terrible!!!

I take it that you have started it? moved it?

You know anything about diesel engines? Fuel?

here is some info on your machine:

ask specific questions.......we'll try our best to help!!!

I think you will find - that is a dayum fine machine, 4wd and chains .....take more pictures of other attachments too.

Thanks for the info. I have not started it yet. I haven't even sat in it. The closest thing I have used before is a lawn tractor. I can drive a stick shift car.
there is also some knobs and a switch on the right side fender. No Idea what they are for. There are no dealer stickers on the tractor. Just on the implements. Oh yeah, there is a logging winch and log trailer too.

That model is very similar to the L2650
Go here and download a manual for this tractor and it will help you out with basic controls and operation.

The major difference is the PTO other versions will only have a 1 or 2 speed PTO yours has 4 speeds, most implements will run at speed 1 or 2 if I remember right.

can answer better than I on what the 4 speeds are.

The controls on the fender I do believe are tilt adjustments for the three point.

Thanks so much guys you really came through. I have a lot of reading to do. I'll change all fluid and filters before I start anything. I am quite mechanical as I own and operate a machine shop for the past 35 years. I've repaired or built everything mechanical except for diesel tractors. If there's anything else I should know just tell me. If I order a parts and service book for the L 2650 will it be correct?

The parts book would not do you any good, to many different items.

I will email you a link for a download of the WSM for the L2650 which will take care of you in most maintenance and repairs.

Send Sevice Dept Vic an Email he might be able to get you better manuals on that model of tractor.

Thats a fine machine, all the implements are a major plus.
Enjoy.

There are a lot of really good threads on safety in OTT, that will point out a lot that you will want to be aware of when operating your tractor. A friendly neighbor with a tractor or a nearby Kubota dealer could be valuable. If you have a dealer do any of the servicing that was recommended above, he should be willing to explain some of the tractor controls.

I only know of a Kubota dealer nearby and he probably will not talk to a grey market owner. I will post an ad in the farm newsletter asking for some hands on advice or an independent mechanic.
