At current mineral oil prices, no, not economical. But face it, oil is running out and with increasing population and increased energy demand (artificial stupidity data centres) prices will soar and individual transport will be a thing of the past. Only rich people will be able to afford it or...

You should be able to have it in D at standstill indefinitely. Same thing as if you are stuck in a traffic jam. What you cannot do is running the engine at higher revs or holding the car at a steep slope with the accelerator. Possibly a clutch or brake band was slipping and burnt out...

Yes, thank you, read that. Appalling language used, really... :oops: No need for that. There are more people here that know everything better than the Kubota engineers. But I am pretty sure none of them ever designed a reliable tractor within a given budget and brought it into mass production...

Am I right in the assumption that offending post have been removed? Missed that, I am afraid, have to be here more often :ROFLMAO:

Ahem, I do not entirely agree. I think it depends on the location and time of the year. I am pretty sure (but have no proof of it) that 99.99% of operators living far north do like to have hot air blown towards them in the middle of winter :giggle: A fan with reversable fins would be the...

Oh, great, you got me worried there. So you are not talking about poor Kubota designs. :giggle:

Check your hose clamp. I use and recommend hose clamps from Norma. Avoid clamps where the slots are punched through.

Would have any numbers or references to back up such a claim?

I think the area is accessible through your filler cap, so you may consider cutting off the stub and fitting another hose connection. Search "bulkhead diesel tank hose connections" on the internet. Get one with the threaded nut on the outside. Make sure the seal material is compatible with...

Considering the distance covered and the shipping cost I think you are getting a real bargain here :giggle:

Works directly only with the old pre-chamber Diesel engines. Modern common rail engines do not like sunflower oil. But I think you can chemically modify the sunflower oil so that it works in modern Diesel engines too. Can be done at home too, plenty people in Ireland doing it. You can grow...

Audi had a test car (Audi 100) in 1989 that drove 4.818 km (2994 miles) with one tank filling all through Europe. That is a consumption of 1.76 l per 100 km (133 mlies per gallon). The car had modifications, no comfort electronics, high tyre pressure, power steering pump electric and engine...

Stop suspecting. Where is the leak? Clean everything and then run it for a few seconds if you cannot see the leak source right now.

I would not call that a scandal, but yes, VW was using some technical tricks to pass the emission regulations. The fine Volkswagen got was motivated by the same ideas that created all those tarriffs, to give a non competitive local industry an advantage. But so has Toyota that optimised their...

No, I have not, but I am slowly beginning to consider it :giggle: Yes, I agree. And you cannot win with 8 billion lemmings on the planet, so I just do what I think is right and try not to be too wasteful with the few resources we have left. For example fixing and using a 35 year old lawn...

The hose on mine burst. Just old age. I remember vaguely that the service instructions from Kubota require all water hoses to be replaced every few years (which I do not do). The most logical explanation is that the hose clamp was not tight. When heating up there is pressure in the system...

Problem here is that millions of domestic local supply systems are an environmental disaster. Way too many resources used compared to a centralised supply. Let alone the millions of tons of electronics waste (no, there is no such thing as electronics recycling) we will be faced with in the...

Fuse box would be the first place. If you find a blown fuse, there is a fault somewhere that has to be fixed. If it is an intermittent short to ground replacing the fuse by a 12V light bulb (50ish watts) can be a good way finding the fault. Alternativly check the schematics and find out what...

When filling with my hand pump (not reversible) the nozzle runs empty up to the part that is the top of the hose when stopping. I simply hang the hose with the nozzle pointing upwards and put a little plastic cap over it to prevent dirt getting in. I too do not see the point of having all that...

Snow should not be your problem. If going off-grid or optimising your winter yield the panels will be much steeper than 45 degrees anyway. I will put mine on a steel frame in the garden, not on a roof, so easily accessible for cleaning or, in your case, removing snow if required. Frequent power...
