    Where do I get a 55gallon drum of udt2?

    Kubota recommends 400hrs. I might just buy two 5 gallons at a time. I thought years ago people had found sources for $5-600 a drum.

    Where do I get a 55gallon drum of udt2?

    It seems like people had a source for these back years ago when I joined. I need to replace my fluid. I'm a few hours past the recommended swap range on my MX5200.

    Kubota ZD-1211-72 first impressions

    My in-laws just bought this same one. I have only sat on it so far, started it....I was shocked at how short the seating platform is. My legs are cramped terribly. My Ferris 52" IS800 has way more leg room. It ain't for tall guys I guess. The diesel engine sounds just like the one on their...

    Buying Advice on Hydraulic links

    I ordered my top link from agrisupplyusa and my side link is a Kubota unit. I've been happy with both for several years now. Be careful when using your cylinders, as mine allowed my ripper shanks to contact my tire and tear a lug. The tilt function will also cause wallowing of the holes in your...

    Grapple ideas and how are these companies?

    Torvy is right. It's a trade off. My sgc 1072 is 450lbs and 6' wide and perfect for gathering brush and sticks and will pick up more tree than my loader will handle. I love it.

    Kubota L2501 Turbo: A Journey Defined - The Tractor, The Comparison, The Modification, The Results

    I had always assumed it would take an ecu flash but this thread ( i haven't fully finished reading it yet) made me wonder if not just adding a larger turbo could get me there. This thread has got me thinking a little anyways.

    Kioti NS6010 HST Vs. Kubota MX6000

    My mx5200, after nearly 4 years, is tough to beat. My only complaint is the loader is a little weak, and the regens happen quite often.

    Advice request from mechanical engineers

    This is literally the opposite of the truth. Rods are tension members, not compression members. Rods in compression buckle. You may be confusing the term "rod" from a practical standpoint, such as thinking "connecting rod", but the subject is allthread or threaded rod, which is also described...

    Box Scraper Southern Brand vs Land Pride vs Other box scrapper?

    I have a 7' wide heavy duty Lowery Manufacturing behind my MX 5200 and I wouldn't have one that didn't cover my rear tracks. I've seen the Land Pride ripper bar rip open from being too small and weak of steel. Let me see if I can find the pic.
