    Horrible dealer

    In my experience, Kubota couldn't care less about the end user of their products. They rely on the dealers to take care of all problems regardless of how the customer is treated.

    Horrible dealer

    Greenhill farms took my L2501 in for repairs under warranty knowing that I didn't purchase it there. My dealer service department was swamped. They didn't even come close to fixing the problem. They burned up a half a tank of fuel, tore a bunch of paint off of my front axle during transport, and...

    Yeah, the place I go doesn't care. I could probably bring a ground wire with me too.

    I get my off road diesel from the same company that del I've always been able to hear when it's getting full. Was filling big farm tractors with a hand crank when I was about 10 years old. Anyway I'm ordering a grand L soon so fill will be down low where I can watch it.

    Fuel delivery

    It's a fill-rite fr112 pump. The pump and filter and water separator sold as an assembly on Amazon for $224. I used stainless nipples and fittings. The barrel is a 40 gallon stainless steel that I got brand new from a local maple syrup supplier for $205. I have a barrel dolly on its way.

    Did my first fill with my funnel in the 3/4" hole to see if it would work and be able to keep the pump assembly in. It worked fine. Barrel in the truck and unload it with the pallet forks.

    Radial tires

    I see that Massey Ferguson also offers a Nokian option. Think it added almost 3 grand. I finally got a price on Crossgrips yesterday. 390 for the 250/80r16 and 1100 for the 400/80r24. Not installed. Probably 100 more than the Alliance 550's for the front and 500 more for the rears. Each. Will...

    Radial tires

    I tried to get the differential/inter axle ratio for the L3560 from Kubota and the response was 1.57. That number didn't make sense in lead lag calculations but coincidentally if I divided the rolling circumference of the oe rears by the fronts I got 1.57. When I go to do this, I'll just try to...

    Radial tires

    Did the tire shop or dealer help you figure out what sizes you needed?

    Radial tires

    If michelin gets their shot together, I will definitely go with the crossgrips. Otherwise it's the 550's. Nokians seem a little out of my price range. BTW, I'm glad you guys came along. When I first posted about radial tires, the response was like it was 1988 and we were discussing carburetor vs...

    Radial tires

    From the tire shops that I've talked to, Michelin is in a really bad place right now with the pandemic. I like the crossgrip the most, but I got "we can't even get them " from one shop to "I can get them " from an Ohio distributor, but he can't even get me a price.

    Radial tires

    Found a local tire dealer that will do 375 each for the front and 725 each for the rear. Not cheap but I think that they are that important and will make a huge difference. Think rims will be close to 1500 through parts. When I go to do this, I'll look at getting the tractor with tires, and then...
