I have 4 acres of hay with a lot of clover along with a few hundred Lavender plants, and going to add a few stretches of wild flowers. I think it would make for some good bee activity. I do see them around the lavender. I also have a nice shaded corner out of the way to put hives. Its the...

Faulty injectors. Makes sense, when they reach full operating temperature the needles can expand and allow less fluid to flow. I don't think Kubota uses mechanical injectors anymore, so they will be electronic. Fuel enters at a very high pressure and a solenoid pulls up the needle for a...

Something I learned. The bigger the tractor, the smoother it works. I started out with a B2410 for 20 years. Have a 6' King Kutter finish mower on it, and used a 4' rough cut (bush hog is a brand name). The rough cut shook the crap out of the tractor. The finish mower was fine on it. I moved...

Wonder how it will work on an L4060 HSTC. I have a 4 camera display, so adding a camera will be easy. I need to add one anyway so I can see the baler and other implements without craning around. Mirrors are only so good. I have plenty of stumps to remove myself, but I can also hire someone...

Got 300 hours on my L4060 and its time for the hydraulics. What I am looking for is some decent prices on the filters. Last time I replaced the main hydraulic filter I had sticker shock. Are there Baldwin or Donaldsons that can replace the Kubota at a lower cost? Don't bother with the fluid...

Has anyone found anything that actually will fit and stay put in that huge hole on the right side that Kubota calls a cup holder? I gave up trying to keep a water bottle there, no matter what it is, it flops around and winds up behind my seat.

Well, if you do find it, it will be in the last place you looked. I had to replace the cap on my B2410 after nearly 20 years. It split and fuel was splashing out, and could let water in, so bought a replacement. At least if you do find the old one, put it in a rememberable spot for the day...

I found it cost less to replace the dual clutch in my wifes Focus if I do it myself and buy the tools required. Chances of me using the clutch installation tool and clutch reset tool are slim to none, but I got them if I need them. At least the other tools I bought can be used on the farm...

What I did to my Kubota last night, I do not recommend. Not my tractor, but my Rake. Was raking hay as night fell and had turned round to head back to the barn and didn't see that the curtain was in the weeds. Well it snagged something much stronger then the steel it is made of and bent the...

Not on oil conditions, but the Intelligent OLM will go off of engine load on the Diesel. If towing heavy it will reduce the miles before change, and if it is lightly used like in 55MPH highway use, it will extend the intervals. The oil condition is up to the owner to get sampled to verify if...

Finished up 284 bales of hay, just in time for the hot weather to roll in. I still have 3 fields left to cut, but rain is in the forecast. Discovered a groundhog hole the hard way, by nearly dumping the L4060. I swear all 4 wheels came off the ground. Time to get the AR out and do some...

LOL I guess those with Broncos will need to stay off as well since they are also AWD vehicles unless you get the top end Tremor or Raptor or whatever they call the real 4WD model. Same with the Maverick, only one model has actual 4WD but based on the AWD technology. Guess that means I can't...

After 40 years I came to the conclusion that 3K changes were a total waste of money since the oil coming out the gas engine was not much different than what was going in. I have run Castrol GTX for decades and got 300K out of a 1979 LTD Wagon, never changed based on miles, just when I felt it...

I finally got some time to get my B2410 cleaned up and some maintenance done on it. Did the oil and filter change, as well as air and fuel and topped off the hydraulic fluid. Since my barn is full of hay it has been sitting outside and there is some nasty stuff floating around, the tractor...

I finally got around to working on this. The Dynamo is 13.8 at idle but jumps up to 40's at full. The battery is charging at 12.79 volts at full throttle. The Dynamo seem a little weak, but still charging enough. I just realized I did not test the voltage with the lights on. The battery light...
