I posted this on TractorByNet as well as here, as I have gotten lots of help in the past from that forum also. I was out working with my 2012 L4240 today when I noticed the oil pressure lamp was on. I immediately stopped the tractor. Oil level is fine. Oil is nice and clean. The tractor has...

I have an L4240, which I thoroughly enjoy. If possible, I would like to adjust the lift lever linkage so that when the lever is fully down, the hitch is fully lowered and, when the lever is fully up, the hitch is fully raised. When I move the lever to the #1 or #12 position, I'd like to see the...

In another thread, (http://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9766&page=2) I made an off-hand and slightly disparaging comment about Colorado’s water use rules. Skeets wanted an explanation. Colorado, like many (all?) western states, considers water to be a precious commodity...

I'm figuring that this year is going to be as bad or worse than the recent previous years for forest fire danger. My house borders about a million acres of national forest. I'm currently doing my planning. Beyond the obvious (a) run when necessary, taking loved ones, pets, valuables, (b) fire...

I was doing a search of three point hitch mounted fire fighting systems when I ran across this thread. It is an old thread, on a different forum, with nothing to do with fire fighting. the search engine pulled it up as it has the words "fire" and "fighting" in it. I nearly fell off my chair...

One of the things I most enjoy about this tractor forum is seeing the creative solutions that members use to make/improve implements.With respect to snow management, I have progressed from snow shovel to walk-behind snow blower, but now I have a new tractor, and need/want to use it for snow...

I thought about putting this post in the Buying Advice, Recommendations & Pricing section, but then decided that it would also fit easily into the (Slightly) Off Topic section. I love tractors, and especially like my Kubota L4240, but I know that there are others who are more fanatical than I...

My new L4240 just arrived! I have only put about an hour of seat time on it but, so far, I am thrilled with it. It has the usual front end loader, one set of rear remotes (my budget wouldn’t allow two or three at this point), all four tires filled with Rimgard, and a block heater. (Some pictures...

I've just finished getting my firewood collected, split, and stacked for the winter. I thought there might be an easier way of hauling logs and firewood than the one I used. A quick search of the web brought me to the following website, which I found fascinating, and thought I would share...

I have a question for Mr. K: On OTT home, there is an article entitled “Getting to Know Your Kubota’s Clutch” which states that the L2550 has a wet clutch. There is also an article entitled “Kubota L2350 Clutch Repair Pricing” which lists the L2550 (as well as the L2350) as having a single...

Hi All, I just purchased a 1987 2550DT. (I'm upgrading from a Ford 8N.) I am new to diesels. I have two questions: 1. I have been having fun reading the owner's manual while waiting for delivery of the tractor. The manual states; "It should be avoided to continue engine slow idle for a long...
