Then we got 7.79” of rain the last 4 days. That’s a smack down from Mother Nature.

I took my u48 in last fall before warranty was up to get a small pilot control leak fixed. It is very small, they thought it was an oring but I guess it’s not. I’ve traced it to the #4 hose but instead of being the quick connect it looks like it may be the hose crimp. Still watching it but it’s...

I have a mx track and pile a lot of dirt up with rocks that need picked out. I imagine in the summer when it’s super dry they work well. For those with experience what do you have and how well does it work. I have clay soils so that complicated things. The machine is a svl75.

Plowed about 3 acres and then this started happening. The hitch would raise all on its own and sometimes just sit there and go up and down, wouldnt stay in set position, just a mess. Worked good for a wile. I called the tech at dealer and he basically said i just need to adjust knobs… well they...

Get rid of the knuckle buster.

I’m in tractor buying mode. Really like the m6 but it’s crazy expensive. I may be up to getting rid of my svl75 on it. The svl‘s main use is grading and dirt work for my mx track. Nothing crazy but it is dirt work. The specs on the m6 loader looks good but how stout is it? 20 years ago i used my...

In tractor buying mode. Looked at a powerstar 110. Really like cab layout, but the hvac vents are just around steering column. Do not like weak ac, heat usually takes less tech to warm a cab but to cool a tractor cab full of glass on a 90f day takes a good system. Curious about its ability...

I have a post going in the Massey forum but thought I’d get opinions here where there are more eyes. Deeply discounted new old stock, like 1.5 or more years sitting at dealer. My only experience was buying an m59 that sat for 2 years back in 2010. That tractor lost both hydro pumps at 75 hr, one...

Was just quoted $72k for a 4710. Just looking around as I’m not familiar with the 4700’s. It has cab loader(MF931X SS AC Ldr w/ Fact LL0)… is there more than one option of loaders? One reason for discount is they’ve had it for over a year, got a couple of 4709 too about a year. Only one...

And it started right up. 5 pulse and it it was going. Been sitting years, like 8. I did dump what was in it. Cleaned it up and put new spark plug, filter, and chain. The saw i use most is a ms180 my wife bought me years ago. It’s small and light and i only use it to clear fences after a storm...

It’s an old bobcat zt219, 52” cut with a 19hp Kwai. I’ll probably go with a kubota, not set in stone and suggestions welcome, but what can I expect from a newer 24hp 60”? We mow about an acre but we’re both busy and just want to get it done. The current mower doesn’t like when grass is tall. It...

So my thread on kubota filter design didnt go over too good. But, doing deep dive in filtration led to some articles, how often to clean. Too much cleaning vs letting filter clog some so the filter minder shows restriction(dirt buildup adds to filtration). I have 3 kubotas minus the hay...

Was cleaning my u48-5 mini ex air filter and it dawned on me how restrictive it is. I had a kx040 before this with basically the same motor and i don’t remember this design. This isn’t the first time cleaning, it’s just i was think this time how to get dirt blown out from the bottom that is...

Anybody got one, like a 14k? Looking at getting a 14k suretrac. It has like a 12k payload capacity. i know steel can be abused abused, aluminum is good but seems to crack unexpectedly.

For those with sawmills, do you think an old wagon running gear would work for the trailer. Was thinking maybe 6x6 to mount the woodmill and add some trailer jacks for stabilization. I dont want to pull it on road just around the farm. Narrowed down my mill to a woodmiser lt15 or woodland mill...

I understand kubota does not make(or have Valvoline make) a synthetic, being 5w40 is only achieved that way. My svl75 and u48-5 both call for 10w30 or 15w40(and a couple other goofy weights). 10w30 for winter…because they cant get to a lower winter weight and still achieve a heavy base without...

I have an old spline drive core bit. Milwaukee. My current rotary hammer is sds max. Thinking about buying a cheap sds bit from harbor freight and welding it on. I have no ideal what metal it is. Hard stuff. The shank is not replaceable on this one. Any advise?

Built a new diesel tank dealio…or put one together. Had 50 gallon tank forever but lately just tired of alway running out. I like them to be portable and I use battery clamps so whatever I’m filling up I just use it’s battery. The new one is a 100 gallon. On a side note went with a fill rite...

I like the woodmisers, LT15 is what I’m leaning to but really want to stay around $7k tho. There are other brands that are cheaper. As far as use it will mainly be just for me but I’m sure neighbors will want some stuff. Wood…oaks, hickory, maple, poplar, walnut, cherry, locust, and a lot of...

I’m making an attachment to go from my excavator to skid steer. I have the quick attach ears for my excavator, just need a good blank skid steer adapter. There are a couple out there that are about 400-500 pre welded to a blank frame, then there are a bunch that are just the 2 skid steer plates...

Looks like poop which I’m ok with, but now I’m thinking I should put more weld on it. It 3/4 thick plates. It’s a quick attach adapter for my excavator that I’m going to use for a graveling bucket. I’ll attach it to an old loader bucket from a small tractor. The rod is a 7018 and all I had was...

I have been working on getting a new u48-5 for 8 months. one finally came in and I got it. I had the 040 for 2 years and put 220hr on it. Its a good machine. Complaints I had was hvac filtration and lack of a sealed cab, and the rocking back and forth. Cant crap on its size because I need to...

Kubota lists their pumps as load sensing. Is this a piston pump with an adjustable swash plate?

I use air bags on my trucks to retain height wile towing, any products that work for 7k trailer axles? Lippert or dexter.

Is there an affordable mulcher for the svl75 standard flow size machine, and what could you expect using it?

I’m out of the mulching loop. Seems pretty popular. Is there an affordable mulcher that is worth a poo for a svl75 standard flow, but more importantly what can you expect from it? Does it take bigger HP to really do good? this is a dupe, please delete. I’ve asked the question in the land...

Looking for a load g with a higher speed rating. These are obviously Chinese but have good reviews. My Goodyear endurance are great but only e rated. Here’s the tire. Provider ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range G

I have a kx040 I bought new last year. It’s just a hair too small. Looking at upgrading it to maybe a u48-5, or a Takeuchi tb250. all 3 have the same hp, 39-40. Kx040, the u48, and the Takeuchi. now my kx040 has 24.5 gpm single pump The u48 has 32gpm single pump The Takeuchi tb250 has 40gpm...

Before hooking the lines up to my machine I took the hydro lines off to make sure there was no water or anything in them. The lines coming from the part of the cylinders that were open/extended had a few drops worth. This was shipped dry. Now I did open and close the cylinder by hand by lifting...

Probably going to go with stinger attachments grapple. They offer a 3”, 6”, and a 9” tine spacing. You guys with grapples what spacing is best. Do you find you tine too close or to far apart?

Can’t I’ve You’re

I am leaning towards a single lid instead of the dual lid, and the shorter bottom. This will be for a svl75. I have no ability to try them out so watching vids and etc.. my main thing will be woods cleanup, lots of old downed trees, honeysuckle, and undergrowth. I like the bigger rake style lid...

Dang what a price...

Good weld?

Frankenstein bucket. I needed a gravel bucket for my kx040 to backfill sewers. My dealer, like lots of dealers, have a bunch of pin on buckets that come on smaller tractors. Welded the adapter on, reinforced and made deeper. Works great for gravel.

Picked up yesterday.

They are basically interchangeable and both end in 71600. The tao43 is better built and has 2 red lines running the length, and cost about $20 more. The t1855 has thicker looking element and cheaper gasket. Any information on the difference? Both are kubota brand factory filters.

Its mind blowing what kubota designed for a cab filter. The filters are a joke, same as the recirculate filters on a rtv1100(which I closed off on mine). So Im building a new filter housing for the kx. I found a engine filter for a Mercedes that is the perfect size. Im using 16ga metal which Im...

There has been a small bleed of fluid from the depth of my new machine. I washed and sprayed it out a couple of times to make sure it wasnt left over fluid spillage from assembly. It wasnt so i went in to find it. It was a return hydraulic line at the bottom of the hydro tank between the tank...

I want to lay better beads with my stick. I go a wile not using it then a big project comes up and I have to start over it seems. I am making notes this time of amperage and speed. Right now doing the 7018. These welds are 1/8 rod at about 135 amp. I was closer to 160 but it seemed too hot. Next...

I have a Hobart 140 and love it for small stuff, and I have a Hobart stickmate 235 ac/dc I use for most everything else. I壇 like a mig that goes up to 1/2? This forum led me in the right direction on the hypertherm 45 so lets see what mig I get. I致e had a miller ac buzz box then went to the...

Tired of not having one. Which do is better in your opinion. I want the 120v option for portability if I ever need it but will use it on 240 mainly. I have shop air but would like the pre installed air dryer and compressor.

I have a trade offer to trade my 4345 and m62 even for a new m5111/cab/loader. M5111 has been priced to me for $65k. I bought the massey new in 2003. Has 1500hr, everything works great. 1070 loader. . 2016 m62, 500hr. Currently asking $49k Link to my sales ad for it with pics. Attention...

How much should a 2016 m62 sell for? No real blue book to go by. 500hr, barn kept. All fluids/filters changed 50hr ago. Front remote and ce quick coupler. Some are out there for sale but generally rental units.

Changing my ac filters yesterday I notice the inside cab filter allows major dust intrusion into the system. Its not sealed and just sits in front of the recirculating opening. I don't use recirculate but its not a sealed filter and if the door doesn't shut all the way or the foam seal wears out...

I assume this will be the same for the different models. Mine came with a beacon switch, no light. If you look behind the passenger side speaker you will find the wires. They are attached to the grommet closest to the antenna. Pop out old grommets and push these through and your good to go...

It may be a complete replacement for the M62, I'll wait and see. But I'm wanting an M6111. Its seems great for what it does. I'll do mostly sewer and water lines with it, and need to use a lot of gravel, so I have a smooth 48" bucket coming. Quick attach will allow for quick switching. I've...

I値l replace my 4345 with it. Does anyone have any feedback on either model? What is decent price to expect for 16x16?

I can a fresh off the truck 3715 for $13750 or a 4715 left over from last April for $15900. The 4715 has sat for a year and looks it. Not a big deal. But I知 just not sure I need it but its always better to go heavier. Is there that much difference between the 2? The one thing I知 thinking about...

This started the other day when I was cutting hay, the engine would make a weird, kinda ticking sound then run out of power. I stopped and looked at engine. Nothing out of the norm that I could see, but was still losing power. Best I can explain is it feels like it wasn稚 getting fuel or air. I...

I have a 4345 and the plastic "cowl" around the steering column is broke. Tried to order through the dealer but they said it not available anymore. wondering if there is an aftermarket avenue for these type of things. Its actually 2 pieces part #3821469m1 and 3821470m1. Never thought they would...

Going to add a thumb to my m62. My backhoe is a bt1400, not 1400v so I need a bt2385 hydraulic kit and the thumb kit K7545. Any outlets for these kits online. They are kinda an inside Kubota thing I'm gathering and not really a public available part. Thought about bypassing the hydraulics and...

Was parked at a jobsite today and someone asked if I new I had a flat on my trailer. No, I hadn't noticed anything driving that morning. Assumed I ran over something and got my plugs and compressor. As I blew it up I had several leaks on the tread and the tire was deformed. The tread was...

Thinking about adding it. Has anyone plumbed in the kit? If so do you remember the part number?

Getting the loader valve worked on so need to plug off the hydro lines. I took hoses off where they tie into the remote in the back and got 2 caps for the fitting. Question is should I have ran a hose in between the supply and return or is capping fine? This is all factory plumbed, 1070 loader...

My back is not what it used to be and this thing will beat you to death. Ive adjusted it multiple different ways-Raise/lower back, set tension weight. The problem seems to be travel, so that in itself may limit options as a better seat may be taller. Has anyone upgraded their seat? This seat is...

Tired of reaching my leg around to hit the go pedal forward. I will test out out tomorrow. Did not have any good bolts so I cut some all thread. Still need to cut and grind before I paint and put on safety tape. No ideal why pics are sideways.

I changed oil and hydro/hst filters per 50hr service in manual. Hydro fluid doesn't get changed til 400hr. But when I was resetting the intellapanel it had hydro fluid listed under 50hr. Conflicted.

Got a couple of deals that are really great, but as I look at specs on the two backhoes it appears the m62 is detuned some. Maybe the 2 ft extra takes some away because of leverage. backhoes.. bucket force for m59 7602lb, m62 is 6572lb. That is 1000lb difference. digging force of dipperstick...

My m59 started sounding like valves slapping, especially under load at low rpm's. Kubota recommends valve adjustment at 800hr I think. We have a new kubota dealer here now so I scheduled with them. It's a very annoying noise. As I investigated I found the leaks. You can feel the leaks blowing...

So had dealer split my m59 and replace both transmission shaft seal and 4x4 shaft seal, picked it up last Friday and still dripping. Would like to think it's residual oil but a week and 6 hour runtime should be out by now. Sent pic to dealer to start conversation. He said just to run it for a...

My max psi is supposed to be 2950, at idle it's 2800, at full rpm it's 3050. Should I back it off?

Need to replace my brakes due to seals leaking. I always use Dexter but seen etrailers stuff on their website. Reviews are good, but I assume these are just China made stuff. They are 1/2 the cost of Dexter.

Kubota M59 Parts Diagrams That is the parts diagram for m59 propeller. First, I ordered part 180, its the 'updated' seal and sleeve kit for the m59. Went to pick up from dealer and it has the front drive shaft included. So in its was the seal(60) and 2 sleeves(70) and the front drive...

It leaks around the cap where they bolt to the valve block. When you take the spool out is there just the white nylon washer that seals around spool? Or should there be an o ring with it? This valve also has the regen or 'quick dump' on the bucket dump, and under high rpms it will stick, causing...

Its a nimco 2s-4835 valve. Its always been crappy on the bucket dump, I think it has a float or quick dump mode when pushed all the way to the right. But using it with elevated rpm's you have to pop it back to center from dump. Its aggravating. Ordered rebuild kit for that spool and put new...

not sure why pics are sideways, but if you click on them they expand straight. So the left side bucket cylinder top pin broke about 2 months ago. Broke right in half at the grease port. No biggie, because half of it slid out a little and I caught it. Today, not so lucky. Didn't notice that the...

noticed hydro fluid leaking from the front drive shaft housing tube. Anyone changed one? This just showed up when I changed oil and added a little Hydro fluid because it was low. So I assume the fluid level was low enough to not leak from the seal oil I added because it seems to be a pretty good...

My 4345 with the power shuttle has started to go into neutral wile in gear. Wile driving along it simply 'pops' out of gear, and won't engage again till you put it in neutral with both the shuttle shifter and the gear selector, kinda like your reseting it. Im leaning towards the transmission...

With an 8' bed can you put the crossover box with the topside boxes and still pull a gooseneck equipment trailer? The crossover is 30" and the topsides are 48", so realistically they would take up about 6' 8".That will leave about 16" to tailgate. They are about 7" tall on top of bed. Tired of...

I've welded the crap out of the original bucket. Teeth and cutting edge have broke several times. This last time it broke 3 teeth/shanks off. So I called kubota insurance and they gave me a claim number that I gave my dealer and they ordered a new one. Also, I needed a bucket now so they told me...

You can tell Kubota left provisions for one but don't offer it. This runs over top of the flat spot on the fender incase I want to run it down, but its sturdy enough to swing on so no need now. I was starting to make the console loose from grabbing it.

Offroad is 500ppm and is what it came with so I assume its ok. Why do they put a ulsd only sticker on it?

not sure but I think me and kubota just dont get along. so my 1100 has 17hr on it. was riding through my trails this evening and noticed the temp guage going to red. got to the house and it was steaming from under the bed. looked and the overflow bottles top was off and coolant everywhere...

This is the stuff I got from tractor supply. Plenty of room between it and the driver. Took like 5 minutes.

wow, there is nothing in there. and as I look around to configure something, the only place is see that looks accepting is the doors. plenty of room foor a pocket. I'm thinking a 12"x 6" rubber box mounted to the door. what would be a perfect material is the black rubber buckets/feed bowls that...

like crossing muddy creeks, and such.I have a teryx but want the cab. I have been driving them around on the dealer lots and like it alot but it is a tank. anybody get one hung up? not looking to do serious offroading but curious about its ability. also researched it on here for any issues...

This is my fluid out of my m59 after just 15mintes run time. And the last one is after it sits for a bit. Is this unusually abnormal?

It has 2 under the seat that I guess are the main ones but it also has three on the backhoe valve control. They are adjustable. How do you adjust them? Do you simply plumb a gauge into the cylinder line for each one and bottom it out? I am thinking mine are adjusted too weak, maybe making more heat.

I know there is two under the seat but the backhoe has three on the control valve. They are adjustable. If they are set at a very low pressure setting would that not be harmful. Making the hoe weak but producing excessive heat. Now, to set them would I plumb in a gauge for each circuit and set...

Are they able to be cleaned or just replaced. My m59 lost both pumps and still has issues but has good pressure. I have issues with specific circuits and I'm going to take out the check valve and look at it. Any advice?

How does it operate? Mine is a push button. If I ad one of those claws can I pick up a roll bale? After you push close button what keeps pressure on it. What other attachments do people use up front?

At 144hr the backhoe got to the point where I couldn't dig with it. No unusual noises. I changed fluid, filters at 70hr. So I was on a jobsite yesterday and had to load it up and take to shop. One of the techs looked at it and first thing is he felt the 2 filters and one was hotter than the...

Little background. I was chasing a cow and went to reverse and grinded/ground the gears and pop! Hole in the side of case. Anyways Kawasaki now sells complete motors, so I traded my dealer for one and installed it. It was a complete pain in the #@& to change out the motor. Finally last bolt, 16...

Book says rated rpm is 2700. No redline rated. Any advise?

Here is my m59. After using a 580l for the last year it is surprisingly good. You don't move as much material of coarse but it can defiantly dig. Its mobility is a super plus. Also incuded my truck for curiosity.

I have one of my work trucks retired to the farm, a 97 f250 with 250 k on clock but is in awesome condition. I use it mire than my kawi teryx cause of the ac/heat. Love the straight pipe 7.3!! But I need new tire. This truck will see very little road time and got some hills I climb. Looked at...

Medical card, triangles, dot numbers, and machine is under 10k so two straps plus the back bucket. What am I missing? Dot pulls everybody over here. I do have farm tags and will get farm tags for trailer. I own 5 businesses and one is a farm. Sch f filed. This truck is my daily driver too. I...

I have had this thing for almost 10 years with no probs at all till now. It flooding out and not hitting top rpms. Now it will not hardly run. I have cleaned spark arrestor, new plug, cleaned muffler, air filter. Took spark plug off and muffler and made sure no fluid in crankcase. It will start...

when I was wheelin dealin with dealer I seen the smallest tlb I have ever seen. It was built for its size like a big one. dealer said it was the smallest available. just curious for the owners how good are they. They really are well built .

16+2 or 18+2?

new 08 has been sitting on dealers lot and sold it to me for 39250. front hydraulics which I will never use. I let my 2000 580l with only 1470hr on it go for $22k. Thats a hard one. But I have a plumbing company and plumb over a hundred houses a year. Up until the housing crash all my work was...

after about a hour of use the speedometer stops working and it peeps/flashes code for it. its running me nuts. do these things go bad? i'm pretty sure its the one on top of back right axle, can anyone confirm this.
