    Z725 Oil

    I have a Z725 with the Koehler motor in it. The manual says 10W30 with an AP rating of SG, SH, or SJ. I went to Wal-Mart and could not find oil with those AP ratings. I noticed my 4-wheeler manual recommended the same AP ratings so I went to a motorcycle shop and no luck. When I change the...

    Mixing hydraulic oil

    I bought a Countyline 25 ton hydraulic log splitter. It came filled with fluids. Engine oil level was fine but the hydraulic oil is low and probably needs a gallon. It says it came prefilled with AW-32. Looking at the fluid temp range chart that came with the splitter AW-46 looks to be a...

    L2501 Fuel Filter Change

    I changing my fuel filter on my 2501 this weekend. The tractor is a few years old and the filter has the all clear plastic housing. Is there a good YouTube video on how to do this? I found one video but the video quality was poor and was hard to tell anything.

    Post hole auger and quick hitch?

    I am looking at 3-point augers and was about to buy one. Then I noticed, looking at pictures, they don't look very quick hitch compatible. Never thought about it as everything I have works great with my quick hitch and I swap stuff often. Just trying to confir, my suspicion before I buy one...

    Grease zerk question

    I had a grease fitting on my 2501 I suspected wasted taking grease. I bought some 10mm zerks at TS and tried to swap it out. I got it about 1/2 way in and it came out. Now I can't get the old one in or a new one. What size zerks are on a 2501? I also want to get a 4-way zerk tool and cannot...

    Fire Extinguisher for Tractor

    I want to mount a fire extinguisher to my tractor (on the ROPS maybe?). Has anyone done this? Are there mounting kits? I had a guy doing skid steer work on my place today and it caught on fire. Luckily I had a fire extinguisher nearby and we frantically got it out. It would have been a...

    L2501 3pt hitch lift capacity

    I have a question about the rated lift capacity (at the 3 pt hitch) for a L2501. According to the Kubota website the 3point will lift a little over 1900lbs at 24". Ok that sounds great but then I noticed the 3301 & 3901 is rated at a little over 1400lbs at 24". I have always understood that...

    Cost for grapple hydraulics

    I have a L2501DT I bought back in August. I am using it to clear land with lots of cedar and rocks. I can see where a grapple could be very useful. Especially for picking up rocks. I already have one titanium plate in my neck from picking up rocks and a grapple would be much cheaper than...

    Selecting a wood chipper

    I recently bought a new L2501DT. It has 24.8hp and 20.5hp at the PTO. That said engine torque is basically the same as the L3301 but at 2200rpm on the 2501 if that matters. So with my tractor in mind I am curious if others out there are running wood chippers. I like the look of the...

    Trailer ball hitch for a Quick Hitch

    I have a Land Pride QH-15 Quick Hitch on my tractor. I would like an attachment where I can put a 2" ball on it to move my trailer around. What do you guys recommend? I don't need something fancy. This one is kind of hard to search as I can't figure out the right combination of works for...

    L2501 ROPS width of tube

    I have not picked up my new L2501 yet but am fabricating a temporary, makeshift sunshade. I plan to attach it with U-bolts. Can anyone tell me the width of the tube steel for the ROPS? I would assume any L2501, 3301, or 3901 would be the same. I want to run to to the hardware store and get...

    Operation Manuals

    Why can you not find and download operator's manuals (not WSMs) on the Kubota website? I would like an extra copy to keep out in my barn as a working copy. With all the multiple warnings, saying death could result, on every page you would think they would make the operator's manual as...
