I used to have an old Farmall with down pressure. I thought it would be great, until I found out applying down pressure on the blade lifted the back tires. With front wheel assist it might be better, but I think gravity is still the best option.

A replacement cap for the wiper fluid reservoir on my 8560 would be a good thing if he wants to sell things. $180 to buy the whole tank is the only way to get them, and the plastic formulation was screwed up on the originals so they disintegrate in a very short time.

It’s a bad rap because they are overcharging for shipping as a way to make more money. Same trick people use on eBay. $15 in shipping when the product can easily be shipped for $4 or $8 for Priority is nothing more than a rip-off. I’ve easily bought $1000 in parts from them the last year and...

I got it from a New Holland dealer for a few pennies less with free shipping.

I’ve bought several things from them without complaint. Went to order a seal for my bushhog today, and they wanted $15.39 to ship it. I presume that includes dinner, flowers, a box of chocolates and a movie. Just a little shopping around and you can find the seal cheaper and with free...

Usually the plates go below the blade.

I prefer a fuel shutoff. It has an advantage over an electrical shutoff that a thief doesn't like. If the tractor starts, they might decide to just drive it away. Maybe you'll get lucky and it will die on the road or someplace visible. Thieves don't want to attract attention, so a broken down...

The root cause of the problem was poor seal at the fuel water separator causing the line to drain back to the tank and the lift pump to struggle to prime. It appears that an O-ring was either swollen or the wrong size, leading to the previous owner damaging the threads on the separator bowl...

Don't know for sure who made it, but it's identical to an old Allis mower a neighbor used to have. Some were made by Danuser and some by Allis. Either way you might have luck at an AGCO dealer. The bent metal brackets to stabilize the gearbox and the angle reinforcement along the edges of the...

I had a similar issue and found that my fuel/water separator bowl wasn't sealing well in the housing. I pulled the fuel line from the outlet of the lift pump and put an extra piece of line on it routed to a bucket. The fuel flow was sputtering and irregular. As I played with the bowl, the flow...

I may have found the issue. Putting hay out yesterday near 0 degrees and the tractor wouldn’t throttle up. Headed for the barn and it died 3ft before I could close the door behind it. So I ended up working on it in single digit temps. Cold weather and a Diesel had me suspecting a fuel delivery...

I contacted Kubota and they confirmed the cap is not available without the tank. Pretty poor IMO.

I'm looking for the same thing. Dealer tells me I have to buy the whole reservoir for $180. There was clearly something wrong as the wings that lock it in place are incredibly brittle now.

Just get an angle grinder and touch them up if needed. Bushhog blades are not supposed to be anywhere close to as sharp as lawn mower blades. They work just fine when very dull. If you get them sharp, the edge of the blade will chip and you'll be right back where you were only with a lot less metal.

First, thanks for the input so far. Busy weekend, so I was troubleshooting as I used it. Fully charging the battery produced no improvement. Running a 200A boost charger didn't noticeably change cranking speed or improve the starting performance. I'll start checking the fuel/water separator...

Yes it is.

UPDATED With Solution: 2013 M8560 Slow Starting UPDATED with solution in my last post. Tractor started nearly instantly when I first got it. Less than 500 hours. Fuel filter has less than 25 hours on it. Out of the blue, the tractor became slow to start. 3 or 4 rounds of cranking, maybe 7 or...

Posting again with the solution to the problem in case others run into it. The bulb is like typical wedge style dash lights. For dash light use, you twist the socket out and push the bulb in, then twist the socket back it. Since you can't get to the back of the dome light, you just pull the...

When I first got the tractor, the dome light worked if you turned it on, but the door position was sketchy. Figured out that the selector switch was just unreliable. Moved it through the positions several times and it got reliable. Was out working until after dark a few days ago and brought the...

Hello all, I'm new here and fairly new to Kubota. I've had an M8560HDC for a few months and love the thing except for one annoying problem. The fuel lines run in a gap between the transmission housing and the fuel tank. The front of that gap is slightly wider than the rest of it and it works...
