    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    After 3 years of ownership, removed the loader arms from the L2501, and mowed some of my fields and the trails in the woods. It was extremely nice not having to watch those arms while going around objects.

    L3901 Fan Belt

    There should be enough space between the blades and the shroud to slip it over or around each blade tip. You may have to turn the belt to slip the thinnest side of the belt through the gap (may be thinner side to side than top to bottom). I doubt this needs mentioning but… make sure the key...

    L3901 Fan Belt

    Unless I am mistaken In the design Loop the belt over the top blades (and around the side ones), let the belt rest on the shaft and loop the bottom of the belt under the bottom blades. it should now be behind the fan and start running it around your pulleys

    Trouble using grease gun

    I will admit I knew you can adjust the tightness. I will also admit I have only known it for about two months when I stumbled across a video on it. (Wasn’t searching for it). For those who can’t get it to free up try applying some grease. That’s a joke. It is a grease gun after all. OP...

    Trouble using grease gun

    Willow HS welcome to the forum. DustyRusty told you right. The “dimple“ in the center of the zerk head in your picture should appear to be a small ball. The ball moves to allow grease in when you pump it in. It closes when you release pressure to hold the grease in. Yours is painted...

    Rodents / mice / chipmunks

    I keep my L2501, a Polaris SxS and an ATV in a 3-sided pole barn. I spray each of them with Febreeze Lavender fragrance before I leave each weekend whether they ran or not. Also, keep seat folded forward and hood up on tractor. I can’t stand the smell and understand why rodents wouldn’t...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Good taste in beer to replace those burnt carbs, too.

    B2601 vs L2501

    I have the L2501 w/ Landprides’ 5’ mower. Our 45 acres is 15 open and rest heavy woods. I do wildlife management which means I mow some areas of the open area (road paths) and the rest grows wild and gets cut only in the late fall and sometimes early spring. some of the grass and forbs can...

    The reality of selling a late model used Kubota in today's market.

    Texas sales tax rate range is 6.25% to 8.25%. NM GRT ranges from 5.125% to 9.4375%. Yes, it is imposed on the seller but they have the right to pass it on to the buyer. Plus, all states with a sales tax have a complimentary tax called an “use“ tax. NM’s version is called a consumer use...

    Mice

    I’ve had my tractor almost 3 years. Kept in a 3-sided pole barn with a SxS and ATV so open to critters. Based on other’s advise here I leave the hood up. Before I leave (only there on weekends) I spray all wheels, engine areas and visible wiring with Febreeze Lavender. Supposedly, rodents do...

    Is the equipment shortage ending? Probably not, but look at this JD dealer's lot.

    On the way to my property I pass by a town that has a JD and Kubota dealer across the highway from each other and a Mahindra dealer about a mile before. A while back JD and Kubota had sparse inventory. Two weeks back Kubota had quite a few tractors and JD had a few more but still sparse...

    L2501DT Hydraulic Level Dropped Quickly

    I had the same issue when I got mine. The dealer had filled it to the upper part of the sight glass but you could see the level split. I had to stop by the dealer a couple weeks later. I walked over to the same tractors on the lot (pre-COVID) and checked several sight glass levels and even...

    Which to buy L2501 or L3301

    I didn’t want DPF so I got the 25. If I had been willing to get DPF I would have went straight to the 39. Not knowing your budget, if you are considering a DPF model get the 33 for the extra HP. That said, I love my 25.

    Dealer substitutes Worksaver attachments

    I know nothing about Worksaver products. If my dealer promised LP, I paid for LP and no mention of a substitution was given beforehand (with my approval) the implements would have never left the delivery trailer.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Responding to Old Paint in post #9742 - yes, bent the blade on my shredder. Managed to get back up and put PB Blaster on the nuts but didn’t get to replace the blades. I did get a picture if I can get it to post

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Shredder is 2 hours away now. Won’t get back to it until Saturday at the earliest. Unless I was seeing things one was severely bent which surprised me as I would assume it would break before it bent. it was an UFO - unknown foreign object.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I backed my Lands Pride RCF 2060 into some small brush (short and see through and no thick limbs) and the tractor started shaking violently. Shut off PTO and all calmed down, pulled forward and engaged PTO, same result. Headed back to barn, lifted it up so I could glance under expecting to...
