    Equipment Abuse?

    That is the reason I will never lend mine to anyone. Owners and non-owners run a machine differently.

    I drilled into my ROPS......

    I cut 2 1/2" from mine so it goes in the garage. If I hadn't done that I would just remove the top and leave it off. Why? It's mine and I'll do what I want with it. :)

    Trailer tips-driving, loading, and unloading

    When I was young on a farm my grandfather gave me some good advice about back up a trailer. When backing up place your hand on the bottom of the steering wheel. Then when you see the trailer needs to go left or right you move your steering hand on the wheel in that direction. Hand on top of...

    Adventures in Induction.... aka Turbo b7200

    That 'adaptor plate' has to be warped. They do make fittings made to be welded, smooth inside. Good luck.

    There's nothing illegal about it. Yet. As long as you are making it for yourself.

    A friend just purchased some items from this place. Looks good to me, I may make a few when he's done with the jigs. I offered to split the cost with him but he refused my money. Good friend! http://www.modulusarms.com/

    Don't trust your Operators Manual

    There seems to be a few mistakes in mine for a B2620. Mine's a 2009 so maybe they have been fixed. I just purchased a block heater and since the original owner did zero maintenance I wanted to change the coolant too. I looked in the manual for coolant capacity and it says 4.1 gallon. I didn't...

    What brand of Hydraulic Fluid do you use?

    Not hard to remove, I used a large pair of channel locks. I expected a large amount of crap in the filters. I cut them apart looking for it but there really wasn't much. I watched a video on youtube showing a Kubota with the magnet on the filter and all the metal stuck to it. Mine doesn't have...

    Sticker Shock

    I know it hurts with a new truck. I got a few good dents in my last new truck when it only 2 months old. I never did fix them and when I traded it in the guy that gave me a trade price didn't even notice or didn't care. As soon as you fix one dent, you'll just get another. My wife's new car...

    Kubota recommended coolant or....

    I'm not doubting what you say, just confused on what to buy. I thought ethylene glycol was better, propylene glycol isn't as toxic. And Kubota recommends ethylene glycol. So I looking it up. Propylene Glycol vs Ethylene Glycol Between the two, ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) is a better heat...

    Driving tractor long distance

    I have 4 acres that I mow every week. A few months ago after many years of guessing how many miles I drive mowing I placed a GPS on the tractor. 8 miles is how many miles I travel each week with a lot of stops and turns and backing up too. I doubt driving 8 miles down a road would damage...

    What brand of Hydraulic Fluid do you use?

    They were the same color as the replacements but were painted gray with the rest of the tractor after assembly at the factory. If you have gray ones they were on it from the beginning like mine, 600 hours. NO, I bought it that way, I would never not change them when needed. In fact I can't...
