    Turning the pumps up!

    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

    L vs LX

    The L2501’s D1703 is manufactured for a variety of applications and power output varies based on regulations for its use. In the L2501 it is significantly detuned. For example, the Injection Pump timing is much more aggressive in the L3240 when compared to a L2501. One thing to consider...

    L4240HSTC-3 Turbo upfit-upgrade?

    We’re expecting the same, or perhaps a bit more power from the L3240. The L3240’s D1703 engine is spec’d to Tier 2 emissions (compared to Tier 4) regulations and the factory injection timing is more aggressive. One thing to consider, however, is that we have 5 Turbocharged L2501’s that have...

    I would like to express a big thank you to @5280GearHead for taking the leap of faith and purchasing the S2T Performance Turbo Kit. We also thank him for making the modifications required for fitment, supplying pictures and of course, his feedback on the Turbo Kit and the performance...

    What is Messick's Smoking

    I order OEM Kubota gaskets in bulk from Messicks and with shipping, it’s cheaper than both my local dealers. Mike

    Thank you! Yes, the Turbo Kits are performing exceptionally well for tractor owners looking for additional performance for their specific operating needs. We will be looking at developing a Turbo Kits for the LX2610 / LX2620. My inbox has plenty of requests. Right now we are focusing on the...

    Upgrading from the beginning

    I think a worthwhile upgrade would be to go to an MX tractor. Tractor weight is still king. However, a case could be made for the Grand L series if someone was looking for additional features and comfort. The Grand L is a mighty fine tractor. A case could also be made for the L4802 but, I’d...

    Upgrading from the beginning

    I may have missed it but, why are you looking to upgrade from the L2501 to the L3902? Was there any tasks/jobs or anything that the L2501 couldn’t do for you on your property? Do you need more power? Or are you simply looking for a newer, nicer and fancier tractor? I can’t blame you if...

    L2502 review

    I don’t have a backhoe but, my experience going from the B2601 to the L2501 is similar to yours. Yes, the L2502 will struggle going up steep hills in M at the stock power level. With the S2T Turbo Kit, my L2501 is producing 44.1 HP and 35 PTO and doesn’t have any issues going up steep terrain...

    L Series or M Series?

    This is why 4x4 is necessary on my property. Hills. I keep my tractor in 2 wheel drive for much of the time but, when I’m driving up and down hills or doing more demanding loader work, it’s in 4x4. Mike

    L2501 Turbo: A Journey Defined - The tractor, The comparison, The modification, The results...

    You’re welcome. What we’ve found, is that there isn’t a particular fuel setting that will work to maximize power and performance on every tractor. We believe this is mainly because of the varying tolerances of the injection pumps themselves and the injection pump installation at the factory...

    L2501 Turbo: A Journey Defined - The tractor, The comparison, The modification, The results...

    The L3240 uses the D1703 engine, same as the L2501. There are differences but, both engines are virtually the same. He bought the L2501 Turbo Kit, so he’s running the same OEM Kubota/MHI TD025 as the rest of us. He has modified the fuel settings. I believe he’s currently + 2 1/4 turns like...

    I realize everyone isn’t visiting each “Turbo” thread posted in this forum. So, I thought I’d share a truly amazing L2501 Turbo Kit installation on a non-L2501 tractor! An OrangeTractorTalks forum member has successfully installed the S2T L2501 Turbo Kit on his Kubota L3240 “Grand L40” series...
