    M4D-071 problems

    They did I think he said the minimum specs was 1700 and I think the high was around 2600, I'm not exactly sure on the numbers but mine was in between the high and low so they did not do anything else with the steering since it was within specs. They are checking with kubota to see if there is...

    M4D-071 problems

    Getting the pressure up to 2900 helped the loader but no change on the steering. Rex

    M4D-071 problems

    Those are all nice suggestions but doesn't it seem odd to you that you would have to tint windows, add insulation to the top of the cab, add an electric fan to a brand new tractor to get the air to half way work. Two of my neighbors do hay with new holland tractors and they both stay cold with...

    M4D-071 problems

    I dont know, the loader valve was changed because the loader leaks down, to me that doesn't seem like a pump pressure issue but now they think it may be related after the loader continued to leak down with the 2nd valve. Maybe they will get lucky

    M4D-071 problems

    I have talked to them about the separate steering pump and they seem to think that turning up the pressure on the lift side of the pump will help the steering too, my comment to them was if that fixes it I will be happy but I dont see how that will change the steering. They are going to check...

    M4D-071 problems

    So the owner of the dealership came out to the farm today to check the hydraulic pressure, kubota claims that it has 2900psi but it tested at 1600psi, he thinks turning this up good be affecting the other issues that I have written about here. If you have a kubota you may want to check your...

    M4D-071 problems

    I have a sickle mower that has a hydraulic cylinder to raise and lower the cutter bar, if I raise the bar up all the way with the cylinder fully retracted, the cylinder moved out 3/4" in 8 minutes there are no external leaks that I can see. It seems to me that the remote valve is leaking by the...

    M4D-071 problems

    So the dealer replaced the loader valve and it seemed better at first but after using it with a grapple it is about the same again, also all 3 remotes on the back are leaking internally one of them let the rod move out 3/4" in about 8 minutes with a very light load, if I pull the cylinder in and...

    Do you have to keep raising the loader if you are just driving or mowing with the cab tractor?

    M4D-071 problems

    So now my loader has started leaking down while running, measuring the lift cylinders it moves a 1/4" in 15 or 20 minutes with an empty bucket, dealer said it was the cylinders so I took them in and they rebuilt them but I'm pretty sure it's still doing it, got to check it better.

    M4D-071 noise

    On mine if you sit still on grass it turns about a quarter of the way and stops either way until you move and if you sit still and slowly turn the wheel the tires dont move with the loader up off the ground. Going down the highway I have to constantly turn the wheel to the left, not momentarily...

    M4D-071 noise

    If you follow the lines from the oil cooler up front they run above the right side of the engine(if you were sitting in the seat) the relief valve is connected between the 2 lines, maybe your dealer is familiar with it. It does seem like it goes with the 4wd but sometimes it does it for no...

    M4D-071 noise

    I was at the dealer today and he said the noise was caused by the pressure relief at the oil cooler, he said that ku ota said to take it out and cap the lines but it is an odd fitting so he hasn't been able to find anything to cap it with. Rex

    M4D-071 problems

    Went by the dealer and they had a new m4 like mine and the steering did the same as mine, the service manager said that is the way they all work, ots crazy to me but I guess that is the kubota way. It does look like they would fix that, apparently itt has been like that for a long time with...

    M4D-071 problems

    I am use to having to correct the steering by maybe bumping it from time to time but I have never had a tractor that while going on a straight road I needed to continue turning the wheel to the left, that just doesn't seem normal to me. Rex
