    Kubota b1550d hydraulic problem

    It sounds like it may be in 'float'. Make sure the 2 controls for the 3pt hitch are correctly positioned or it will not raise. You will find operators manuals here... https://kubotabooks.com

    Time for some forum repair and maintenance.

    Hooray, the home page has finally been updated. Its 2012 no longer. It will be interesting to see if there's an uptick in membership.

    wsm b7200

    Access is denied to some non-English speaking European countries because they were downloading so much stuff it was blowing the download limit. So much stuff in fact that I could only assume they were deliberately trying to bust the site. Yes there's a bit of downtime... but as donations...

    Time for some forum repair and maintenance.

    I think I suggest this every year at about this time. Isn't it time the orangetractortalks home page had a little update? How long are we going to celebrate the 40th birthday that Kubota had back in 2012? https://www.orangetractortalks.com/ I refer dozens of people to this forum. I wonder how...

    Theres 2 suction screens. One each side. One is for tranny. (Left hand side if I recall correctly.) The other is for power steering etc. Did you clean the correct one? And make sure theres no leaks in the suction line or around the banjo connection. I havent read everything so I dont know if...

    Let's help build up Kubotabooks.com's database of manuals

    Kubotabooks is my site. The copyright issue of course is a concern to me. I have no desire to get into a fight with Kubota. I figure they know about the site and tolerate it because everything on it is free. (These same manuals often appear on ebay for considerable prices. If they are concerned...

    The home page still says '2012'.

    Well however it gets there its a bad look and makes this site look like its been abandoned by the owner. Better to have no 'news' on the home page than old news.

    The home page still says '2012'.

    We're well into 2018 yet the orangetractortalks home page still says its 2012 and 'we're celebrating Kubotas 40th birthday'. I wonder how many people have googled for 'orangetractortalks' and decided this forum is dead after seeing that homepage. It would only take a couple of minutes to...

    B1550 questions

    In high range my B1550 HST can barely climb over its own shadow. Its only about 14hp when brand new remember. A worn HST is going to waste a lot of that hp as it gets older. That business about something being in the HST wire mesh screen sounds odd. I don't remember anything like that in mine...

    B1750 HST service manual

    These things are well known for squealing and making nasty noises so it may be nothing to worry about. I didn't mean that the tranny selector needed adjusting. I just meant that you should check that your 4wd/2wd and rabbit/turtle levers are properly engaged. Regarding air in the lines. You...

    B1750 HST service manual

    Low oil. Air getting into the pipes that you removed. (Growling would suggest the two above.) Brakes locked on. Transmission selector not fully engaged.

    B1750 HST service manual

    The most important 'servicing' job for this model is to clean the metal mesh filter for the HST. Its a 'pre-filter' for the HST tranny. They can clog badly, cause oil starvation, seriously reducing the power of the HST and possibly significant damage. Its on the left side under a 'banjo' type...

    Thinking of purchasing B1550 DT- No previous tractor experienced-Help needed

    They are an excellent tractor. Solid, simple, reliable. I have one with hydro transmission and turfs. (I have no experience with a DT). With turfs you may need some rear weight to give extra traction for loading but that can be cheaply arranged. 1521 is low hours for a late 80's tractor...

    2012 is drawing to a close.....

    Personally I don't care much for a lot of blurb on the home page. Its more work for someone, and I probably wouldnt read it any way. But I do think the home page needs to be 'current' or 'ageless'. If ever I go to a forum and see really old news on the home page, or see that theres only been a...

    Really? I thought 'Site News and Suggestion Box' was the right forum for the err... suggestion.

    2012 is drawing to a close.....

    Hey guys, 2012 is well and truly closed. I presume someone mods this site because there's rarely any spam. How about updating the home page, or at least get rid of the old dates and old news. Its really not the most promising opening for new members.
