^^^^ I'm confused. Have you seen many lift pump failures at 100 hrs? We have a lot of S2T Turbocharged L2501 tractors with well over 100 hrs and zero problems. Mike

^^^^^ One hundred hours is nothing for one of these tractors. Mike

^^^^^ Indeed it does! The factory pump provides more than enough fuel for the Turbo Kit. However, OEM components do fail, especially on older/high hour tractors. One of our customers has had to replace his faulty lift pump on an L3240 tractor. Definitely something to keep in mind. Mike

^^^^ I firmly believe that if the L3240 had the same fuel setting as my L2501, it would have made more power at 2700 RPM. The dyno operator and I were in favor of bumping the fuel setting but, the owner wanted to keep things very very safe. Mike

Excellent question/observation! First though, please keep in mind this particular L3240 customer wanted a very safe fuel setting. He wanted to keep his EGT's below 1,100 degrees in the most demanding situations. Even the dyno operator was asking for more fuel because he knew the L3240 had...

Welcome! Mike

Perhaps the HST+ allows you to hear the Turbo a bit better than the L2501. Here’s a quick video we put together with some cool Turbo sounds: Mike

Sure! https://www.messicks.com/parts/kubota/tc820-47452 https://www.messicks.com/parts/kubota/tc820-57510 They’re a really nice upgrade and sturdy floor mat. Mike

It’s good to have options Mike

I recently placed an order from Coleman’s for gaskets and associated parts for our Kubota Turbo Kits and they were less expensive than both Messicks and my local dealers. Mike

We had a successful day at the dyno with the L3240. The L3240 Turbo was able to match my L2501’s 44 HP / 35 PTO HP. However, the owner of the tractor wanted to keep EGT’s well below 1,100 degrees and settled on a fuel setting of 1 1/2 turns which produced 33 PTO HP. It was great to see how...

Turbo brothers :D Mike

The Kubota L3240. Mike

It’s not mine but, we did install a Turbo in an L3240 :D Mike

BXpanded sells a shim kit to increase the loader hydraulic pressure. I’m not sure if it applies to your tractor model but, I believe the parts are universal, I could be wrong. Just make sure you have proper ballast and don’t go overboard with increasing the pressure. Mike
