I'm pretty sure that lawyers are involved in all warning labels and operating manuals for these and all equipment. If they were to put an inclinometer on your tractor, then they are opening themselves up to liability in the event of a roll over. ("It was not at the inclinometer maximum when it...

If my Kubota had a questionable issue I feel like my dealer would treat me right. Some dealers might not. That's why I bought mine where I did. Try running your issue by another dealer- preferrably one that sells commercial equipment. Their shop has to meet fairly strict standards to sell...

To finish this story : After thinking I had fixed the issue earlier, it reappeared Saturday. Today I was able to confirm that the HST neutral switch was the issue all along (I hope). I replaced the switch and put about an hour on the tractor without issue.

Sorry for the delayed response here, but family for the Thanksgiving holiday and other issues arose. The story continues by me tracing wires looking for the source of the ground when the ground disappeared and all was well, or so I thought. After putting tractor back together I used it for about...

I couldn't imagine not having a grapple now that I've used one, especially with my sawmill. It stays on the tractor 95% of the time.

Here's a little update on what I found this morning. The HST switch makes and breaks but doesn't break until pedal is depressed almost fully, so I will replace it. However I also found the one of the wires connected to the switch shows grounded. According to the diagram there should not be a...

Thanks Lugbolt. Do you know a way to definitely determine the switch as the problem. Since it goes through the opc, I don't think it can be just jumped out and left that way can it?

Thanks to you also Dave_eng. I'll have to jump out other switches until defective one is found. I hope it's not the opc.....$220. I do have the WSM.

Thank you PHPaul. I hope you are correct I'll jump around the switch in the morning to confirm.

You're correct in your analysis. I need to do more troubleshooting, but decided to walk away for a little while. I pretty much did put my fingers on all wires in the area and found no issues. It seems that when HST switch opens the short occurs immediately. I'm not familiar with the internal...

Central Alabama 87 octane $3.99 ish Diesel $4.82 road fuel diesel off road $4,99 Go figure............

I was burning brush in two nearby locations. All was well until I pushed one pile up and tried to back away. The tractor shut off and wouldn't restart. Luckily I had a truck nearby and pulled the tractor out of the heat. The left front tire was ablaze, but seems ok. However, I have yet to...

As I stated above the 5 amp fuse blows whenever I attempt to move tractor. At first it was just in reverse, but now is either direction. I have looked for any bare wires in vicinity of switch and found no visible issues. Just as an fyi, I am mechanically able ( former diesel and hvac tech). I'm...

I got my dealer o install 3rd function valve at purchase of my B26. I assume it's Kubota stuff. It works really well. Also got a hydraulic thumb on hoe bucket. Best money you can spend in mu opinion. Tractor is so much more versatile with these accessories. Got a 4 in 1 bucket as well, but it's...
