    Steering wheel wont stay centered

    If you steer hard left or right to the limit of the wheels stops, and maintain steering wheel pressure against the stop, the hydraulic steering cylinder has an over-pressure release valve in its circuit that allows the steering wheel to continue rotating past the initial stop, which changes the...

    Kubota oil alternatives

    Yes.

    Hi, new to the forum. How'd I do on my first tractor purchase?

    $10k for a compact TLB sporting really low hours? That's a really good deal! Hopefully the 50 hour and 200 hour services at least were done! And I'd give it the 400 hour service right away. Then just spread out the 70 hour difference between the subsequent 3 or 4 service intervals - stretch them...

    Kubota oil alternatives

    I've used Shell Rotella T6 5w-40 for years. It meets Kubota spec and runs great for my often very cold start usage.

    PTO wood chipper

    Love my WC68 on the B2650! 19HP pto does the job.

    Snowblower chain adjustment

    Hey there, CA member! You get same-ish winter weather as us. I've just adjusted that chain at its tightest pass to be within play spec, with just a litle play there, and I've not had an issue for about 4 years with it either getting sloppy or the shaft lock screws needing re-tightening, and...

    Snowblower chain adjustment

    But still the chain sags & tightens, the play varies! Did you try watching for play using your straight edge at the root diameter of the large sprocket? Meaning the bottom of the space between the teeth instead of the teeth themselves.

    Smaller tractor options

    My B2650HSD would do you great. And now there's a newer model of it under 26HP to avoid regen, the LX2610.

    Gearbox oil - am I smarter than Kubota engineers?

    My ancient 5ft M5-4 rotary mower blew its seal, drip drip went the 80w90, so shut it down while investigating how to replace the main bearing. Ugh. Research also pointed me to replacing the oil with JD Corn Head Grease. Solved, mower still goes like hell, no more leaks, nice quiet operation. So...

    b2650 loader bucket too fast.

    You know it's a 2-stage dump control on the B2650, right? The first half of the loader lever dump is bypass mode ("fast dump"), then past the indent switches to valved mode, with full release speed control.

    Lube for 3pt speed control knob unit.

    Same here. Decades, even.

    PTO wood chipper

    My WC68 Woodland Mills chipper on my much lower power B2650, 18HP rear PTO, has done a great job for me. Adjustable speed in-feed is my friend. The 26HP engine can handle WAY more chipping/time than I can get material into it. Even with help. Over a few seasons the infeed roller teeth dull...

    Running HOT

    Snowblower Front Mount

    And being an idiot (at times at least lol.. give me a break) Don't be an idiot like me and "temporarily" store the swing lock pin in the BH pin hole when the BH has been swung to the side. Then immediately forget and muscle-memory swing the boom back. POP. Sheared a chunk of the swung (top) pin...
