    Doubtful repairs under warranty

    You are using a stump grinder on a little 20ish horsepower tractor and having pto problems. Yep, that sound about right. That was my 'here's your sign moment. Most lawn mowers have more horsepower that your 'tractor'.

    Kubota Suddenly Running a Bit Warmer?

    My experience with the newer style radiators which your Kubota has is that they will look clean when they actually are not. We do a Lot of hay with two Kubota's (and two NH tractors). I have to keep the Kub's on a tighter cleaning schedule than the NH tractors. After every use, (back) blow out...

    Spool or control valve rebuild

    You can buy the valve from Vevor for $68. are you certain the valve is the problem? serviced the hydraulic system, test temp and flow, and the cylinders? Can you explain what you mean by "it starts to bypass and "the float function doesn't work"?

    Off Road Diesel?

    The only difference is the color and cost. In our area, you need a farm tax card.

    M9540 wont start

    I am seeing two different switches. One is a 6-pole push/pull switch and the other is lever style switch. The latter uses a simple limit switch that is known to fail. I tried finding the part numbers on Messick's but had no luck.

    Kubota Mx 6000

    Keep an eye on the batting. I think it will fall apart in short order and get into places you don't want it, like the evaporator, and dust the hell out of the cabin. The wrapped batting or reflective are much better IMHO.

    M7040 jerking when braking going downhill

    I wonder if it is just gear-chatter when the FWD is engaged, and the rear wheels are trying to slip? How are the brakes under normal conditions?

    Kubota Mx 6000

    If you are setting a lot, keep the rpm's up above 1,000. @Hunter1157 has good recommendations. I am not a fan of window tint, but there is a ceramic tint that supposedly does not have to be too dark.

    Air Seat

    It was founded in '07. Not new but not all that old either. I doubt there are too many companies that manufacture air seats so it is a fair bet they are the same seats that are over-runs or something.

    Air Seat

    Vevor has a 12-month warranty, 30-day return policy as long as you keep the packaging and paperwork. I have bought from them several times and overall, I am pleased. To the @sardillim, if you cannot use Vevor's price to leverage a better local price, I would buy from them. Just read the fine print.

    Lift Cylinder Honing Questions

    Not to get overly complicated, but the right way to check a cylinder is with rigid mounted depth gauges. This tells you it the cylinder is round. Then, it the scratches are not too deep the cylinder can be honed. The heavy scratches on the piston tells me the cylinder(s) has been abused and...

    Kubota Super utd fluid alternative

    What is your machine, mechanical transmission or hydrostat? There are huge differences. If it is mechanical with or without a shuttle, any good brand that meets or exceeds the UDT specs will work fine. If hydrostat, I would not deviate from UDT2.

    I cannot get the link to work.

    Climate Controls

    I believe it is like my M9000 and the roof comes off to access. Look around the perimeter of the headliner. See of there are short and long bolts. The long bolts remove the room. Pretty easy job.

    Factory MX rear remote issues.

    The best troubleshooting for connectors is to swap hoses and see if the problem goes with the hoses or stays with the connector. Then, if you want to be thorough, physically swap the connector from valve to valve and see if the problem follows the connectors.
