I recently bought a used B2400 HST. Runs great and most features work similar to those on my old Yanmar geared tractor. Love the HST and power steering. But the owner's manual is a little skimpy on details & I would sure welcome advice from anyone who has a similar Kubota:
(1) My light switch has a symbol of a circle with lines radiating out from it which I think might be a position for operating an auxillary light or outlet but the manual says nothing about either of these. And my switch lever won't move to point to this symbol. Is this an aux light or outlet position and where would the aux outlet be located? Does my B2400 have a horn? What is the function of the round, soft "button" in the center of the switch?
(2) The headlights are really weak. Can I increase their brightness by simply replacing the old bulbs with stronger ones?
(3) Can I use some other type of hy-trans fluid other than the listed "Kubota Super UDT", like the multi-grade hy-trans fluid sold at places like Walmart or Advance Auto? That's what I used in my old Yanmar.
(4) The manual describes needed engine RPMs for running the mid and rear PTOs to prescribed speeds, but makes no mention of general RPM range you would likely use for simply driving along the road. Somewhere in the range of 1500-2000 RPMs seems to be what be what my tractor wants for simply traveling. Is this about right?
