Sorry about the delay here. I had called the local Kubota dealer, and they said it sounded like a bad coupler. I uncoupled and recoupled everything, to no avail. I finally hauled the tractor over to the shop and left it there for a week and a half. They were busy and could not get to it for over...

Thank you. Now, physically, where do I want to start looking. I am not a mechanic, and hydraulic details are somewhat new to me. I just did not want to have the Kubota dealer's mechanic come out to fix this until I could determine if it was something actually significant. I have verified that...

B2920 I was plowing snow a couple of weeks ago with a rear blade on the three point. At the tail end of my plowing, I found that the blade was lifting very slowly. Eventually, it would not lift at all. HST was no problem. Temperature was just about freezing, so I would not suspect any water in...

Hello, all. In addition to my B2920, which is the best investment I ever made when I walked into the dealer and laid $30k on the counter for the tractor, FEL, backhoe, tiller, rear blade, deck mower, etc, etc, etc, I have now acquired a 1984 KH-28L excavator. I am loving the combination of the...

I need chain recommendations for my B2920 with Ag tires: Front: 12-16.5NHS Rear: 23x8.5-12NHS Loads of snow this last weekend here in the Pacific NW. Ran out before the snow to get a spreader to get screenings onto a couple of hills after I use my three-point snow blower & rear blade to clear...

Here was my final solution: I began grinding down the sides of the PHD boom where it slides into the top link bracket on the tractor. Still, it seems from what I can tell that the intended spacing is 1-3/4", which is the width of the boom end, not 1-5/8", the space of the bracket on the...

So, while I have the problem solved, I still have a follow-up question. The local Kubota dealer says that they do not recommend using a Cat2/Cat1 bushing to reduce the 1" hole in the end of the boom down to the size of the 3/4" upper hitch pin, but just leaving the slop (i.e. 3/4" pin in 1"...

I called the dealer. Apparently, 1-3/4" top link ball bracket spacing is the Cat1 spec, but the B2320 bracket spacing is an eighth inch under that--or maybe vice versa. The hole diameter is easy, as you indicated: a 3/4"-to-1" bushing. Most of the specs have to do with pin diameter, not...

On #2: with a PHD, the top link is not used, since the PHD boom connects directly to the tractor where the tractor end of the top link would normally go, with a 3/4" pin through it. The width of the top link bracket on the tractor (i.e. where the top link ball end sits) is 1-5/8", which is more...

I just purchased a post-hole digger from my Kubota dealer. It is a Dirty Hand Tools PD100 (Cat1/Cat2). When I got ready to attach it to my B2320, however, I found two issues. 1. The hole on the end of the boom is for a 1" pin, but I have 3/4" pins, as do all my other attachments. And, of...
