    3 point pallet forks

    For $200 that might be the best looking welds they have. o_Oo_O I would RUN away from that.

    If you're having trouble connecting the la435 single point connection try this. . .

    When I was trying to connect the single point hydraulic lines with the handle it would bind and not lock into place no matter how hard I tried. Then I pushed the hydraulic lines on the loader block the opposite way to equalize the force from the connection handle and it slipped right into...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    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.

    2011 B2920 HST engine loses power

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

    First time owner of a diesel tractor with questions

    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.

    Tie downs B2601

    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,

    20 hours on new Machine, Hydraulic Pump Failure, Advice needed.

    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...

    20 hours on new Machine, Hydraulic Pump Failure, Advice needed.

    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?

    Discovered something while mowing.

    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.

    Discovered something while mowing.

    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.

    Discovered something while mowing.

    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...

    Will the FDR1672 hold up to an L4701, or should I go with the FDR2584?

    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.

    Trying to find drive belt for Kubota Z421 part # K3071-13560

    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. . .
