    Kubota Suddenly Running a Bit Warmer?

    We have a 2 year old Kubota M62 with about 400 hours on it. In all the time we've had it, the temperature has never gotten above about 1/3 of the measurement dial. We always assumed this was normal. Suddenly, from one day to the next, its temperature is right in the middle. This was surprising...

    New(ish) Kubota M62 With Filthy Hydraulic Oil

There is a clicking sound, and the bucket dumps and the loader drops to the ground over about 20 minutes. For the first 100 hours, the...

    Regular oil analysis?

    At risk of opening a can of worms - does anyone do regular oil analysis on their engine or hydraulic oil? We have a new M62 and are trying to decide whether to start doing it… We did regular oil analysis on our old Deere 110TLB, which had a bad engine. The oil analysis always looked okay right...
