I don't like leaving equipment out in the elements either. When I bought my current house a couple of years ago, I also bought the Kubota. The PO kept a plastic tarp over part of it outside. The first thing I did was bought an open garage to park the tractor, riding mower and a utility trailer...

I just had a similar problem. I had just gotten my tractor back from have the rear end replaced and the shop used my lift arms on the replacement unit. My arms wouldn't budge so I sent it back to the shop to see if they had done something. I had tried the adjustment knob with no luck, but it had...

My L285 does that sometimes. I just got it out of the shop for a rear end replacement and while there they 'repaired' the starter system by replacing the switch and wiring it straight to the glow plugs on one side and the starter on the other using new wiring. They also installed new battery...

My L285 has always been what I consider hard to start, even for a diesel. Even in the summer, but worse in cold weather. The little heating element glow plug indicator doesn't turn orange, but sometimes a see a tiny wisp of smoke come off of it. If that element is defective, since it appears...

I found a post somewhere here that the L2600 owner mentioned his gray L2600 looks like an L285, so I did some further 'net surfing on the L285 & sure 'nuff, an L285 looks like my gray L2600 & even the specs seem to match. I can find lots of stuff on eBay for the L285 as well. So, is the L285 the...

Early this year I bought a new-to-me house on 4 acres, about 75% is yard, the remainder is woods. The seller had a nice Kubota tractor with finishing mower & other implements as well as a riding mower which I bought along with the house. I don't think he knew the Kubota was a gray market. I had...
