I spent almost 2 hours mowing and mulching up leaves. I had to go over them several times to get them cut up into small pieces. I wish Kubota would offer a mulching kit for the B series MMM. It would save me a lot of time and dust.

"Butt bucket" :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Maybe your fuel cap isn't venting causing a vacuum. Just a guess.

I've NEVER heard of a manufacturer giving an owner permission to skip ANY maintenance. If it's not in writing by the manufacturer (not the dealer), then whatever you were told doesn't matter.

On mine I connect 2 straps to the frame in the front, and cross them making an X. On the back I put a D ring in the tow bar and connect 2 straps. I set the brakes and keep it in low range. Any 3 point attachments I lower onto the trailer. Never had any movement when hauling,

A friend of mine bought a new Dode 2500 diesel. The power steering pump went out 6 months after buying it. The dealership did a nationwide parts search with no luck. The service manager then called the factory to try and expedite one. The factory said it would be at least 6 months...

The hydraulic system has a filter. I understand your feeling of being snake bit, but I think it will be fine. Your dealer sounds like he's on top of it and will get it fixed right. What equipment is it?

Absolutely. I got a RBG 712 blade sharpener as well as a magnetic blade balancer for Father's Day. Sharp and balanced blades make a huge difference.

No, it's the same ground speed. My property is too rough to mow full speed in medium range. Even with the lower rpm I can't run full speed.

My property is about 1.5 acres. I use my B2601 with the 54 inch MMM as my lawn mower. Today I decided to try mowing with the engine rpm at 2400 instead of the 2800 rpms (540 pto rpms) I discovered that it mows the Johnson grass a lot better. At 2800 rpms it would miss some of the stalks...

Why not go with an FDR 2572? It has the 72 inch cut which you prefer, and has the upgraded components of the 25 series.

Rick, out of curiosity how long has your oem belt lasted? My MMM belt is 2 years old and I'm hoping for several more years of use. . .

$125 for a mower belt? o_Oo_O That's insane.

I was on another tractor forum and the question was asked why manufactures don't offer rear discharge MMM on their tractors. It would be nice to be able to mow on windy days and not have dust, grass clippings and grit blow back in your face. Someone here with Kubota's ear should tell to...

J B Weld is good stuff. I bought a 53 Farmall tractor that had the engine block crack repaired with J B Weld. It wasn't pretty but it worked.
