My rear remotes are dealer installed OEM. I have no information on their specs, published leakage considered within normal limits, identity of manufacturer, or any other technical data. When I put in the order with the salesman at my dealer, one of their requirements was I talk to the service...

I’ve run Stabil in all my small gasoline engines for 30 years. I don’t run anything out of gas at the end of season. Never had an issue with fuel causing problems even for the several years non-ethanol gas wasn’t readily available in our area. Longest I’ve let one sit was a bit over two years...

Also, you can’t float a cylinder with DPOCVs. My L has three rear remotes, one of which has a float detent. For some grading operations, the option to float the side link is helpful. For bush hogging areas with very rough topography, the option to float the toplink is helpful. Can’t float both...

Some people think I wear a Kubota hat most everywhere other than bed and church because I’m mostly bald. The real reason is so I can remember how to spell “Kubota”. Didn’t have that problem with the Ford and IH. Y’all’s ruthless with the spell checking. 🙂

We used to do clover plots in the creek bottom where we hunt until we figured out all we really needed to do was mow a section of the stilt grass and smartweed that naturally grows there a couple weeks before hunting season. Our deer like the tender new grass that results. This year we haven’t...

Typical mounting for shredder blades is with a shoulder bolt like this.The shoulder of the bolt is a bit thicker than the blade so the blade will rotate freely on the bolt when the bolt is fully torqued. Possible issues: 1) Wire, bailing twine, etc. got wound up in it and jammed into the...

A quick hitch or Pat’s is probably the best answer. If you don’t do one of those, remember the hitch height floats. Set the height lower than you need it. Grab one of the lift arms and pick it up to the height needed to match up with the pin. If the height on the second arm doesn’t line up...

If it fires up promptly running on all cylinders without belching black smoke or firing just often enough to keep running for the first couple minutes, most likely you’re starting it right. If in doubt, check starting/glow plug procedures in the owner manual. It may be a bit different than some...

Is it worth the risk to try to clean it up to use it as fuel? 9 gallons? NO. Not a close call. Risking running water, even a small amount, through the injectors to save less than $40 worth of fuel which you could just as well use to burn slash piles just doesn’t add up.

R4 advantages over R1/Ag: longer service life on hard surfaces, higher load (weight) capacity, more cut / puncture resistance, less damaging to turf / dirt trails. R1 advantages over R4: better traction, better ride quality. R14: marketed as a R1 - R4 hybrid. Folks seem to like them on utility...

Many years ago, the folks in the office I managed gave me a mug inscribed: “Nothing like that feeling when you realize this IS your circus and they ARE your monkeys.”

You can try wiggling the front wheels back and forth a bit with the steering wheel as you try to get it out of 4WD. That sometimes works. Lifting the front tires off the ground with the loader is the best way to do it. That always works. I did read the part about you not being able to lift the...

I’m aware my L is a big over 30hp so please ignore if you wish. Below is opinion based on my experience. YMMV. Long bottom better for carrying stuff, particularly brush. But vertical will carry stuff. Twin lid better for odd shaped loads, some brush loads, construction type debris, odd shaped...

This is exactly why I rarely respond to drainage questions. Looking at it in person, usually not too difficult to figure out something. Looking at pics and a description, even if both are excellent, I’m not as useful. With that disclaimer… Looking at the uphill/downhill pics, specifically the...

One of our trails had several Virginia pines come down in due to a combination of age and winds a few months ago. The only reason for this particular trail is to monitor the our neighbor’s several acres of kudzu where it borders our property and carry out whatever activities are needed to stop...

Since you bought it used, don’t know if you got an owner manual with it or not. If not, the owner manual and workshop manual are available as a free download at: https://www.kubotabooks.com/AutoIndex/index.php?dir=Tractor%20Owners%20Manuals/

Suggestion: Take the plug out. Clean the threads thoroughly on both the plug and gearbox (brake cleaner clean). Apply a small amount of oil resistant RTV gasket maker evenly distributed on the plug threads. Reinstall the plug and leave it be for several hours. Example: https://a.co/d/cyk0ZzR

If you want to mow them, you need a rough cut rotary mower (bush hog, brush hog, slasher), flail, or sickle. Regardless of width, finish mowers are generally not deep enough to effectively cut things that that are taller than the deck is deep. It’s no problem at all to mow saplings and forbs 9’...

We have a Tractor Supply about 10 minutes away and we go there once in a while. It’s more of a rural lifestyle store than the Agri-Supply or Southern States type farm supply I expected based on the name. They do carry a few top links, bush hog blades, PTO shafts, and pins but it’s a pretty small...
