    L2501 gear static load

    On the L2501 with the transmission driven PTO. I was wondering if you can hook up a static load as in a 3pt generator and engage it and leave or do you have to block up the rear tires and have them spin while it's turning the generator?

    Rotary Cutter  Woods 720 brushbull on a Kubota3540 GST?

    I'm wondering if it will handle it as in lift it. The Kubota is a GL 3540 with loader and unloaded industrial tires. Gear transmission. 29.5 PTO hp. 2650 lbs of lift 24 inches behind the pins. Woods 720 BB cutter is 6 feet and 1200 pounds. Woods recommends 30 HP as minimum. Mowing will be...

    static load; Hydro or gear trans?

    I'm thinking about a B series Kubota. One of my considerations would be a PTO generator. I first thought a gear trans would be better as it would be less inclined to overheat with hours of continuous usage. But looking at the B 2601 it appears that the hydro oil is cooled in front of the...

    Kubota "loyalty bucks" anyone get theirs yet?

    Its a very odd program. Even Barlows seems confused by it. It is a graduated discount from Kubota on the entire range of tractors. When you mention it to Kubota dealers they act like they have never heard of it. Here is a picture of last years flyer I got. I got two flyers for years and used one...

    Kubota "loyalty bucks" anyone get theirs yet?

    Been looking in the mail for mine and usually it comes right around the 20th of April. Been getting it for years. So this year I'm looking for it and wouldn't you know it it's not come yet. Do they still do that or is it a program that has been discontinued?

    Kubota L2501 Where is it made?

    I notice it's engine is direct injection instead of the usual indirect injection. Made me wonder if it is made in another country like Thailand. Anyone look and see where the engine is made? With the DT (gear) tractor you still have to clutch to shift the shuttle forward/reverse?

    B2320DT ground speed in low gear/range?

    If someone could check their manual and see what the ground speed is for the B2320DT (gear) Kubota tractor I would be grateful. I would love to know the speed in low gear in low range at the rated PTO speed of 2800 RPM. I think they have that in the manual. Also would like to know if when you...

    Economy PTO +DPF muffler a bad idea?

    I was killing time on the Kubota webpage specing out tractors(dangerous I know..) and noticed the economy PTO feature on the M series and specifically the M9960. In economy mode the RPMs are just 1519 you get the full 540 RPMs out the pto shaft to the brush cutter. Cool. However I've read that...

    BX cooling fan in long grass?

    I'm considering a BX2370 as a garden tractor/tiller only. Wasn't going to use it for nothing but tilling and riding around the farm on. I'm disabled and thought it would make a nice outfit to slowly ride along my trails. I was planning on using the cruise control on it. Starting to think about...

    Break In hours before synthetic oil changeover?

    Everyone says to break in a engine before switching over to a synthetic oil but nobody ever gives the hours they consider to be the break-in. So gimme your opinion on what you would consider to be the break-in hours needed on a Kubota 3 cylinder engine before you first change to a synthetic oil...

    Kubota super UDT2.........ok I belive.......

    I've always gone back and forth on synthetic fluids. I've never been dissapointed in synthetics but have always doubted they were worth the extra coin. Well I change out my Kubota M7040 yesterday from whatever the dealer put in it to Super UDT2. That is supposed to be a full synthetic...

    Does my M7040 have a EGR engine? Pictures to help!

    Got my M7040 from Barlows in the fall of 2012. I thought it had none of the eviromental stuff on the engine. I've since found out that some of the late M7040 models might have had a EGR engine installed in them. Anyone out there can tell me if this engine in the pictures has a EGR valve or is...

On their website and in my manual says use GL-4 gear lube for the front axle case and differential on my M7040 but when I was at my dealer getting the fluids for its first change the Kubota gear lube said GL-5 on...
