    B3300SU Fluid Change Confusion

    1. You've drained the engine, not the tranny/hydraulics 2. The previous tranny/hydraulics fluid fill was the wrong fluid, auto tranny fluid maybe? 3. The hydraulic pump and/or transmission is fried. Burnt. 4. 2. + 3. I hope it's 1. Otherwise BIG trouble.

    box blade/snow pusher

    Why drag it around when you can push it ahead of the loader! Must have welded SSQA attachment points to the boxblade's rear.

    Don't buy a bigger tractor than you need.

    I don't mow 20 acres. I mow maybe 3 total. Yards, trails, work yards, logging road, ditches. 5' bush-hog mainstay. 1000lbs loads of firewood stacked in pallet crates. Done. Harvesting and hauling firewood from tamarack forest in back 80 acres. Chipping branches. Snow blowing the trail. Done...

    Don't buy a bigger tractor than you need.

    You are entirely incorrect on that, Mr. Youtz. That determination depends ENTIRELY on what your needing from the machine. So far the B2650HSD has been absolutely the best size for my needs, and I've operated other tractors, Kubotas, of sizes smaller and larger, so know precisely of what I speak...

Chipping brush and firewood branches. Moving firewood crates from drying shed to house. Trenching power and...

    Lol 26HP on our 119 acres is just right for me.

    What's your fuel consumption like?

    Average about 1/2 gallon per hour. The 5 gallon tank can get from around 8 to 16 hours depending on job. Front mount snow blower with heavy snowfall clearing eats the most fuel/hour. No complaints!

    Winter Diesel Treatment Review

    Sea Foam for all my equipment fuels. Gas and diesel, year round. 150ml/20L jug, at the pump. Never had a single fuel problem. -35C to +35C. 7 years and 1300 hours on the tractor. Fuel filter is washed in kerosene and the previously cleaned spare rotated into service at recommended service...

    Pucker moment

    If the front hydraulics can lift the rear off the ground there's not enough weight for counterbalance in that 3-point ballast box. Or the weight isn't far enough back. My box-blade is enough to keep my rear tires planted when there's as much weight on the forks as the loader hydraulics can...

    Wintertime hydraulics not working and related maintenance question

    In SE Manitoba here. -30C winter nights are not unusual. So for a COLD morning start, this is my B2650HSD startup routine: (note - I now use 5w-40 Rotella T6 synth engine oil year round. Makes cold starts better than 10W oils) 1. First, when I park the tractor after use I set the rpm to around...

    Snowblower and gravel roads

    No blade or RTV here but between the front snow blower, box blade, and front end loader I've also got some redundancy.

    Snowblower and gravel roads

    My snowblower doubles as a grass trimmer and gravel ridge leveler at the beginning of winter. It's been through 7 winters of this, and other than some paint chipped off here and there it still rips through the snowbanks like new. The inside of the blower housing and chute are nicely shined up...

    Wood chips in hydraulic filter

    Some chainsawing near the back of the tractor where the fill opening is, with the cap left off?

    Kubota ordering system outage coming?

    The name is an initialism of the company’s original German name: Systemanalyse Programmentwicklung, which translates to System Analysis Program Development. Enterprise Resource Management software. They're a huge co. No idea why they're reviled. Probably too big for their boots, like Microsoft...

    Rolling coal? Lots of soot under load - B2601

    I take care of my equipment. It just has seen some heavy work over 6 years. It's still running pretty much like the day I got it new. And I don't "abuse" that equipment. I work hard with my tractor and sometimes tough sticks worm their way between the engine and its various parts while I'm...
