I just bought new air filters for my B2710 and just about fell over from the price. Anyone know an after market replacement for both of them?

Hey, I made it back. Seven months in Greece working on the Olympics and not much time to check the forums. I hope to catch up over the next few months. Got home last Sunday and was on the tractor all day Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Just a short drive home on it on Friday night. She's...

Hello guys, I've been here a little over a week now and finally got to an internet cafe to post. Busy time. Interesting country. The tractor of choice seems to be the Ford and ancient ones abound on the work sites. Hope to get to the farming areas on a near weekend and see what's there...

Looks like I'm off to Greece for about 8 or 9 months to work on a project. Thanks to everyone here, I've really enjoyed the information and association with you all. I'll miss TractorByNet, all the posters, and my family, not in that order! The tractor will be safe in the shop with weekly...

I just finished a 32 inch by 72 inch work bench in my shop and need to mount two vises to it. I really don't want to mount them to the work surface and wonder if anyone has suggestions for inovative ways to mount a vise to a bench. One is a chain type pipe vise and the other is a 3.5 inch very...

I have a galvanized pipe that is pretty corroded. I have a propane torch, but I am thinking of investing in a MAPP gas torch to do this project. What are the benefits of MAPP gas? The cost is considerably higher than propane and I am wondering if I'll see any benefit over the increased cost.

Here are my son (on the right) and grandson after a long day on the tractor.

My brother-in-law recently bought a new Duramax from a dealer in another state. He wanted one because his friend bought one and really liked it. His friend had a new Ford F150 that he bought out of Canada in Oregon (not sure if it was from a private party or a dealer). He drove the Ford for...

I have a friend who has to have a new 110 TLB. What is the ballpark price on this unit? I know we can build one on the Deere site and get retail pricing, but what is the current selling price?

Well I need to buy a welder and need some advice on what to get to start out. I would love a mig, but it doesn't fit in the budget (too many children that need shoes). So, I think it will have to be an arc welder. I have 220 available in the new shop. What should I get and what about...

Finally sold the house and we are still waiting for the new one to be built. We are moving into a little house for the 5 month wait. Tomorrow I take my Kubota, Rising Sun, to my sister's house for a long storage in her husbands shop. So tomorrow is the final ride for a while. When I get it...

Just got back from my much needed trip to Italy. We did a cruise on the Med and hit Tunis. I kept my eyes open to see the tractor of preferance there. Saw four compacts and 3 were Kubotas. One was green, but I don't think it was a Deere. As we got back on the ship there was a sea of 40-50...

After many years of family vacations, adopting three children in four years which doubled the number of children in the house and numerous foster kids (three right now) the wife and I are heading for a much needed vacation to Italy. We leave in two and a half weeks. We currently have seven...

OK, I don't have a big tool box mounted, and don't really want one. I just have the under the seat box Kubota has on the B series. What tools are you guys carrying on the tractor itself? Here's my list: Cresent for the top and side links Spare lynch pins for the 3 point Pliers PVC cutter...

Well, we finally bought the land for the dream home. They start construction in 45 days. I get to have a shop. The builder quoted 25 by 25 feet for my shop. I think a 24 by 36 footer is better. What size would you guys recommend to store a compact tractor, 16 foot trailer and various power...

I saw an 18 footer this morning with a dovetail on it. Mine is a 16 footer, completely flat. I have seven-foot ramps to load with that are stored in the side. I wonder what the purpose of the dovetail is? It gets the rear lower to the ground, but unless I’m missing something here, you still...

I just finished the fifty-hour service and the last thing I did was fill the hydro with UDT. I added a 2.5-gallon can, checked it and added about another 1.5 gallons, checked it and it was above the full line. I drained some out, via the front drain and checked again, still too high. I...

No, I\'m the IDIOT! Trucked my tractor (Rising Sun) up the canyon the other day for a job. Everything went smoothly. I brought it home and took it off the trailer at night. As I walked by the other day I noted that the clevis I used to chain her down was still on the draw bar. I told myself...

Building a Top \'N Tilt OK, I’ve read about top n tilt for a long time and after spending 15 hour with the box blade last week I wanted one. So I went to the local supply house and learned that they will install one for $575 per function. Top link 575, side link 575, total for a top n tilt...

I just finished a grading job on a landscape project for another landscaper. The site was wooded and difficult to turn in, so they had me do it with my small Kubota. They couldn’t get the delivery trucks into the wooded area so they dropped it about 50-60 yards away. There were 15 dump loads...

After looking over many of the posts here about filling tires and fixing flats I began to wonder, are the Kubotas delivered with or without tubes? Makes a difference with what I need in the field to fix a flat when I get one. I want to be prepared so that I keep down time to a minimum. If...

Just trying to figure how much weight I'm pulling with a full 60" Land Pride box blade. With a 60" width, 17" high moldboard and a bucket depth of 22" I figure the bucket has a capacity of about 12-13 cubic feet. Nearly a half yard. At about 2700-3000 lbs per yard of soil, that makes a weight...

When I drop the bucket on my new B2710 and place it in float position, to back drag it over soil to level it, sometimes the front wheels will leave the ground if I am backing up on a slope. I thought float let the bucket float on it's own weight independent of the wheels, i.e., the bucket will...

Father’s day is coming and this year I asked for something I can use. I need an air compressor. Not sure what to get, so I need your help. I plan on using it inside the house with my air driven finish nailer, use it with an impact wrench in the garage, haul the thing around in the truck to...

What's up with all the impact socket sets? Every one I've seen is missing a 23 MM. Is there an inch cross I'm not figuring out here? I believe the stud nuts on my Kubota B2710 are 23 MM and am trying to find a socket. Turfman

Having a just finished a small grading job for my sister I found that the most useful attachment to be the box blade. I was amazed how much dirt we moved around. We dropped the high spots, set the scarifers to break up the hard areas and leveled it all out in no time. When we had a pile to...

Any tips on how to get rid of SPAM. The kids used my e-mail account to log into some trendy clothes and game places and I get about 20 per day. Just opened my e-mail and had 10, all spam. This morning I got a note from Britney and when I opened it she wants me to see her naked. This is...

Heading to the tool store for a few maintenance items for my B2710. I have determined that the front lugs are 17 mm. Can't determine the size on the rear lugs, my socket set only goes to 19 mm. Anyone know what size the rear lugs are? How about the hydraulic strainer? Thanks in advance, Turfman

Here is a photo of my 6 month old B2710 with my 2 year old son, Jake, learning where all the controls are. Don't worry, it's stationary, all the hydraulics are down and I have the key. Nice tractor and great kid.

I recently had bucket hooks welded on. I bought a can of Kubota Orange II paint at the dealer, cost $14.00. Is there any where we can get a matching paint off the shelf for a reasonable price?

Lubing the FEL on my B2710 yesterday and I noted two things: 1) The zerks were loose in their threads, so loose that I could turn them with the grease gun. I tightened them. 2) One of the zerks had paint on the opening and wouldn't take any grease. The dealer had greased it, as evidenced by...

My 15 hour B2710 has an FEL that pops out of float position when I move forward or back-drag with the bucket. Anyone else have this problem? Any solutions short of a trip to the dealer? Happened a lot today as I was moving dirt in the rain. Put the bucket on the ground, set it to float and...

I took my B2710 to my son's house for him to move a little dirt. I locked the three point (with box blade) in the up position with the lowering speed knob so he wouldn't hit the lever and lower it accidently. He's really good with the tractor, having worked construction for five years with...

....cost me a bunch of money. I read about all the things I should, I mean must, have for my tractor and when I talk with the wife I'm in trouble. New tractor, 16 foot trailer to tow it around, 4X4 Ford to haul it all (still need a new diesel), landscape rake, box scraper, rear blade, tooth...

My two year old just loves tractors. He spots them a mile away and screams, "guck, guck, look guck!!" He thinks truck is tractor. The other night he was fussy and wouldn't lay down. So I opened the board and we went to the photo section. As the pictures appeared he'd yell, "Oh, Wow...

Your tractor\'s on fire!! Stopped at the local nursery the other day. They are friends of mine and exclusively use Kubotas. We were talking tractors and my friend said that his grandfather finally quit loading customers trucks with bulk goods after he took the side off a new Dodge truck. The...

I put my first hour on my new B2710 tonight. It is perfect except the folding ROPS doesn't go into the garage when it’s up. It chips the bricks above the garage door and showers you with dust and chips. The seat belt works great, though. Luckily, no major damage, just the chipped brick (hope...

What is a Rhino Tractor? A friend found one that he is interested in buying. FEL and backhoe included, 152 hours, $8,000. Any thoughts?

Just dropped in from the orange forum. Went by the Deere dealership the other day and saw one of the new 4x10 series tractors. They are very nice looking. On the lot were a bunch of the older 4x00 series tractors. In talking price with them they wanted the same as before the new and improved...

I want to have bucket hooks installed on my Kubota B2710 with an LA402 loader. I would like to have three, one center and two on the ends of the bucket. The top of the bucket has a rolled lip that rolls back toward the rear of the bucket. I'm afraid if I install them on this lip, they will...

Went to the local dealer today to pick up a suicide knob, spare keys and a gallon of hydraulic fluid in case I need to top off the transmission. Got the keys for all my sons (4), the suicide knob (didn't have an orange one, but yellow looks good) and asked for Super UDT. A suprised look came...

Thanks to all of you guys for the great advice. I have really enjoyed the discussions here and it made my tractor purchasing go smooth. I have learned a great deal from you all and have really enjoyed visiting here and all your posts. A special thanks to Muhammad for sponsoring this forum...

After looking at all the compacts available I made my decision. There are so many models it takes a score card to keep track. Does anyone know, in the compact tractor world, what the various market shares of the companies are?

I am picking up the new B2710 tomorrow. Old Drippy (the current B9200) is going away on trade-in. I have asked the kids and wife to help me with a name for the new one. Their help has been less than great, with names like, Kub, Ota and Cecil. Though I'd see what the guys on the board would...

Well, I finally bought my new B2710 today. Traded in "ol' drippy", my B9200 with at worn out transmission, on it. Will pick it up Friday or Monday (have to take the day off to play with it ). Now if the snow would just melt so I can try out the new box scraper....

Well I finally convinced the bank (wife) that I needed to get rid of the old B9200 that’s dripping hydraulic fluid all over my trailer and get a new B2710. In talking with one of the dealers he said to order the FEL with a “four position” hydraulic valve. He said the three position one is “a...

Thought I\"d be first Best current price on B2710 with FEL and 60" bucket? Have the prices got up to cover the 4.99% interest? Kevin

What did I really want: B2710; FEL (60 inch bucket); block heater; 4-way valve, box scraper. Oh, and I need a new round point shovel, one of the nice ones with a closed back. How about you guys? What didn't you get that you really wanted or what did you want that you didn't dare ask for?

I have read the posts on synthetic oils. I see the supposed advantages. I wonder how the synthetic blends compare. Any advantage buying them or am I better off with a fully synthetic or a regular oil?

What is the best way to secure the tractor to a trailer? I have been using chain with binders. Where is the best place to wrap them and secure the tractor to the trailer? Kev

Before I make the big purchase, does <font color=orange>Kubota</font color=orange> have the power steering problems on the B27/2910 series fixed? What do I look for on the newer models to make sure I'm getting one that has the updated power steering? What were the symptoms on the problem...

This spring, or maybe late this winter, should be purchasing time. We have an upstart landscaping firm and need a tractor. We are looking at the B2710 and had decided that it was the unit. Just waiting for my ship to come in to finance the purchase. Well, we started comparing the 2910 to the...

Any sign that the dealers are getting hungry and cutting better deals? I figured with winter nearly here and the economy cooling down that maybe prices would drop some. There have been several interest rate drops in the past year, but I have not seen Kubota Credit dropping interest at all. My...

Where can I get specifications for Kubota attachments? The web site doesn't seem to have them listed and a request at the dealer got me a new Land Pride catalog. The brochure for the B2710/2910 shows back hoes, 4 box scrapers and even a trencher. But I can't find any specifications or prices...

Will be buying a new B2710 next week. We are a very small landscaping firm that does residential and small commercial installation and renovation jobs. The 2710 should work very well for our job and company size. We have been using an old B9200 with ag tires. I am just wondering which tires...
