My tractor is stored in unheated barn. When you start at 0F, it is going to smoke a little for the first 15 seconds or so. Philip.

Kubota does make a vertical exhast kit for the GL tractors, but you will need to cut out a little of the side panel and hood to install it.
I don not like where exhaust is located either, loader arms are black and it is a pain to hook up to front blade on LH front aswell as chaining to trailer. This should be better.

Starts great with little smoke on startup and runs clean as can be until it pulls down a little going up a hill or any time it is maxed out then the smoke starts. Don't think anything is wrong just the nature of the beast i guess.

Do you have more information on this? Part number? Pictrue? Web link? Thanks. Philip.
I just got to thinkin:laughing:
The hp to weight ratio on my tractor is quite high. 150#/ hp.
About as high as you can get. I have a loader and wheel weights.
Most others are down in the 100#/hp, in fact my B3200 is in the 70#/hp.
No wonder it smokes as it must be close to max most the time just to move itself around.:laughing:

Unfortunatly i think your dealer is misinformed. That vertical stack is one of the first things I requested. 2 dealers said there is no kit. 2 more said there was, then later recanted thier statement after looking to no avail telling me kubota, through sales or parts makes no such thing for the GL. As far as an aftermarket company maybe, but four of them and google searches couldnt find that either. If you do happen to know of one, please do tell, i would love to have it.

I put 200 hrs on my L3540 over 2 1/2 years and never noticed the soot accumulation and I kept it cleaned and polished. Never noticed the issue. I do use additives to the fuel for higher cetane rating, anti-fungal and non-gel formulas. Don't know if that would make a difference or not. My L3940 cab has only a little over 10 hrs so can't speak for it yet.
