    L3400 loader wanted

    That company has been around for a long time. I have not seen any bad posts about them. That loader is a bit stronger than the Kubota OEM...

    Does tire grooving really work?

    Works fine as long as you are not in sub-freezing temps! For the price, 250w is just fine... I would buy the better ones, if I were setting up a business, grooving tires... I touched up mine last year and will need new tires within a couple years... so it's not something you'll be using a lot.

    L3400 loader wanted

    Read this thread... https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/la525-loader-fitment.73969/ Call your kubota dealer - if you don't like the price, there are after market ones but they are not going to be much cheaper.

    Brush guard for L2501f...

    I've been looking, buying tractor parts for 20 years, I've never seen a grill guard come up for sale by itself... not to discourage you, I hope the best for you - but I would be checking salvage centers.

    Brush guard for L2501f...

    L2501F = 2 wheel drive with Ag or turf tires (no R4) also, manual transmission (no HST)... as far as I know... The L4060 is a Grand L and as such is much bigger frame than the L2501 - How are you at fabricating and/or welding? Making an adapter plate, flat steel to match the hook up point of...

    BX2200 Just added some UDT hydro oil

    Granted my tractor is larger but I run mine with 1.5 gallons over the full mark. There is another 1.5 gallons of "Head Space" before it over flows out the fill port.

    HST minimum level

    I've lost 3 gallons of the 6.2 gallons that should be there... you have the same size tractor. I was fine to drive back to the house for repairs. Basic UTD oil would be fine, just make sure it is for Transmissions!!! I didn't run the throttle high, low and slow.

    New 60" Everything Attachments Grapple

    That's why I like a Needle valve, they are adjustable... but to be fair, once I set it, I've never even thought about re-adjusting it! You can get needle valves that work in either a single direction or both directions. I think the ones you want only work in both directions so you need only...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Older tractors would have a valve (connected via a cable from the dash) that would be pulled so that the motor would spin freely (without compressing the gasses to ignite), once the engine had enough speed (momentum) you release the decompression lever to close the valve so the next rotation...

    Oil level inconsistant

    This information is for my L2800 HST... so if your tractor is smaller or larger, amounts would be different!! Normal Fill capacity of my tractor is 7.5 gallons of hydraulic fluid, thanks to this forum when someone could not see that they overfilled hydraulic fluid until it was completely...
