    Next price increase from Kubota?

    Always been a fan of the B series. Have a neighbor with a bx that's a nice mower, but lacks in the tractor department. Dad's L has been a wonderful tractor but too big for around my place. The B series just fits that step up from garden tractor but not quite utility tractor size.

    Kubota l1501DT restoration

    Ah I'm state side. A cheap runner can be had for around $2500. Cheaper if you have time to sit and wait and your after a bare tractor. That may be the best bet if your limited on money, but I'd expect to sink a good bit of time and money in it. Could be a fun project for you and your boy. Best...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Yeah the newer tractors come with them, and there are retrofit kits for some modules of tractors. I haven't been impressed with the retrofit kits from kubota and the generic telescopic stabilizer kits are pretty much a bad joke imo.

    How much gear oil to put in gear box of Kubota L2195 Front snowblower

    Usually there's a fill plug about halfway up the side of the gear case. Should be under the vent or breather plug/cap level.

    Kubota l1501DT restoration

    It's gonna need a lot of work. Gonna have a few grand into it till it's done. Don't know where your from, but around here you can get an old rough runner that needs a little tlc for a reasonable price. Less then your gonna get into that thing.

    A RED Kubota…?? Really..?? And Why Leasing may beat buying.

    Ill also ever understand a long term lease. Never made any sense to me. You pay for it, have all kinds of stipulations then you give it back. You can only claim so much of the lease for tax purposes. So unless it's a indeed the equipment for a big project, beyond the scope of a normal rental...

    A RED Kubota…?? Really..?? And Why Leasing may beat buying.

    Seen that at wengers the other week too. Had my daughter with, whom made a bee line for it. She thought it was awsome. Asked the parts guy what was up with it, and he said it was just a show piece. They had no intention of running it. 🤷‍♂️ I don't mind the theme of the tractor, but I don't like...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Here's a link to his website. https://www.stabilworks.rocks/ He's a great guy to deal with. Paid $225.00 with shipping for my set. They are all hand made by Mark. Basically remove the chains and turn buckles and bolt these on. Easy as pie. There is a bit of a wait for them. I contacted Mark...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Not today, had to work, installed them yesterday. I got my stabilizer bars from Mark Hodge. Must say his work is excellent. Very happy with them.

    using tractor to pull a stuck car/truck/rv

    Draw bar with clevis is the correct method for pulling. Captive pulling systems are best. No tow balls or tow hitches. They are made to pull rolling resistance and the "stuck" force is typically much greater then a trailer on the road. From quite a bit of experience with roll backs, wreckers...

    Make shift land plane

    It's more of a knowing your material, how to set your gate and how the bed lifts at what ground speed. I was fairly decent at it in my Pete 10 wheeler, but it took pretty long to get ok at it. Also pretty much figured out I had to be moving at speed, bed up already then pop the gate and keep the...

    L2501 Turbo: A Journey Defined - The tractor, The comparison, The modification, The results...

    I've seen engines run away form a lot of things, the crank case vent has never been one of them. Turbo, broken rings, mis aligned Piston cooling nozzles, fuel racks sticking. Never once seen or heard of the vent causing this. It's unrealistic at best and a lot of diesels engines have closed loop...

    L2501 Turbo: A Journey Defined - The tractor, The comparison, The modification, The results...

    In a perfect world you should be reading temp right from the exhaust port on the engine. Realistically preturbo in the exhaust manifold, preferably in one of the hotter running cylinders.

    Hanix Mini Giant excavator?

    The fancy figure 8 grooves probably arnt 100% nessisary. A lot of heavy equipment bushings either don't have them, a straight one, sometimes a long spiral. Doesn't seem to be material dependent.
