You would have thought this would be a no-brainer for a company that makes farm equipment to support the corn growers that buy their equipment...

Yes they sure are, LOL When the Sherp first came out it was $80,000. Now they are $145,000.....and there is nothing to them.

Just saw that since Argo bought Sherp they no longer use Kubota power. So guess I'd want a Fat truck, LOL

Got to play with this today! I thought it was Kubota powered like the Sherp brand, but it has a Cat (which may likely still be a Kubota painted yellow like their mini-ex's and CTL's.

I'm just glad I got my new truck before the world caught covid and that my Kubota dealer honored a year old quote on my RTV.

Wow! I'd hate to see that now in Soviet Canukistan (Canada). Last time I priced an L3560 with loader and a rear snow blower it was $50,000. And that was before all these price increases.

That was my big complaint with the full cab Can Am and Polaris 1000's.....I thought my RTV-X1100C was loud in the cab....until I rode one of those. Between the heat and the noise I don't wanna sit in one of those all day.

I knew that would happen. Back up until the 90's here in Ontario we have what they call the MTO, which is the same as the DOT to you American's. They used to plow and sand and maintain all our highways. I worked for them at one time. Well, one year the union got greedy and guess what happened...

I've owned all kinds of ATV's and have driven 200 horsepower turbo 1000's of both Can Am and Polaris. I ONLY want my RTV-X1100C. Might be slow but it will pull all those other ATV's like a train. They might have 200 h.p. but I got 2500 pounds, LOL And one look at the chassis, driveline and...

I can add also....in this pic where I haul gravel up my bush roads, it will make trips WAY faster than I can make one bucket at a time with my B2620 tractor.

I'm only at 620 feet above sea level, but as far as power.....just know they will lose lots of speed, but they never quit pulling. Even when it bogs down, it will still climb idling. It's hard to tell the steepness in a pic, but my RTV will run 25/26 MPH on the road, verified with my Garmin...

From what I remember reading from Kubota was that their biggest concerns was with the mini-ex's and skid steers where the engines are packed in a real tight space. They didn't want the extra heat in those applications. It was also interesting to read in a history of Kubota article, it said...

I forget where rScotty......but it was right from Kubota. And as far as that heat, I can't say with these small compact tractor engines if there is much of a difference but (I know, a whole different animal) on big class 8 truck engines, when International tried to go mass EGR they had all kinds...

We're getting way complicated here, that may confuse people. Mr. Walker wanted to know if the M60 series is tier 4 and yes it is. And yes it has a DPF. From the start Kubota has said they committed to the DPF solution because they feel that the mass EGR and solutions others are using can cause...

I have two versions of the D1105. One in my new RTV-X1100C, the other in my B2620. Not important to this thread, but wanted to mention something I notice. Both my machines run strong, but I notice my B has almost no exhaust smell, but the RTV exhaust smells like an old big rig. No smoke but it...

Every M7060 brochure I have since they came out shows a DPF. It's the same with the Grand L60 series......they all had DPF's from the day they came out.

Yes, a 7060 is tier 4. This "new" series was introduced for that change. If you look at engine you will see the giant DPF muffler on tier 4 engines. That's the catch.....you either get good and reliable in an old tractor, or you get a pretty new one with all the nice new features and deal with...

I like both of those. I never had a SportTrac, but I did have one of the "real" body on frame Explorers before they turned them into a car, and it was bulletproof.

Yes. I watch the Kubota Canada web site and prices are way up compared to last year. Some have went up 3 to 4 thousand, but this would also be due to fluctuations in the Canadian Dollar. And my salesman mentioned the other day that Kubota snow blowers have just gone up 25%.

Thanks oosik. What I meant is with mine you can grab the driveshafts and pull them up and down and side to side a good bit. It's like if the U-joint were shot, but they are not the play is the actual output shafts that come out of front diff and the transmission. But like I said, they haven't...

Oosik.....if you grab your front axle shafts does yours have a fair bit of play where the output shaft comes out of the front diff? Mine seems to have quite a bit, but I can't remember what was normal. All my Polaris's even when new had "some" play.

Deserteagle71, maybe I have not explained it clear.....it has been bulletproof, but has finally now started to show it's age. I'm wondering if it's worth spending the money on and if I should be concerned about the movement in the yokes and output shafts or just keep driving it until it leaves...

Maybe I'm just too worried about the play in the driveline? Maybe I should just drive it until it fails. Like I said, there are no seal leaks. The thing has been awesome. Been running it 17 years, plowed for 8, and never changed a belt. Only clean the clutches every couple years. Only things I...

It regularly get down to minus 40 here and I've never had a fuel issue, but I put Howes in for the added lubricity and a slight cetane boost as a bonus. And my tanks at home are filled before the number 1 treated winter fuel comes out. I've replied to these additive threads a few times because...

I did. I bought a Kubota RTV and couldn't be happier. The 570 is going to sit here until it rots into the ground because I can't seem to give it away. And now back to the original question....is the old one that has been 100% reliable worth refreshing for what I listed needs to be done...

So I have two Sportsman's left. One is a 570 that I have HATED from day one. The other is my 04-1/2 500 H.O. which I loved and has been absolutely bulletproof. I recently took it on a week long 500 mile ride and it was the only machine out of all of us (brand new ones included) that did not...

Some of these new four strokes are just as bad. You need a crane to get them out, LOL

Funny that didn't catch on. I kinda like it.

Yes, it's a commercial hot-shotter delivering to dealers. He'd be pulling a trailer also. They have to maximize loads like this because the rates suck so bad.

Around here they will hit private customers with a $200 plus delivery fee........but then go work for the million dollar contractors for 50 bucks an hour. Because even though there is more than enough work every year to have every dump truck here working, they are all so worried about being...

The new "C" oils are backwards compatible. The Kubota owners manuals are outdated. CH/CK/CJ are all safe to use. Only one you can't use is the new FA oils. I've run nothing but Rotella T6 0W40 and 5W40 in EVERYTHING I own. And when I still had my dump and highway trucks used to get regular oil...

Went to my dealer yesterday to look at an L2501 and a Sidekick. I asked the owner if he has been having any problems. He said yes, but they are a high volume dealer and when he orders stuff, he orders 20, not one or two. So they have had good stock all along and have been selling to other...

Here in my area, what we call tri-axles (steer, lift, tandem drive 21 tonne payload) are getting $70/hour on the highway paving jobs. Why? Because they keep going to work. So for $70 you get to pay for that new $220 to 240,000 truck, your motel or trailer lot while you are working out of town...

Not to mention new emission motors were making me suicidal, LOL

No, I'm in northern Ontario. But rates fell again this past summer because "new" dump truckers have moved into the area and taken over. So I closed my business and got a job operating equipment in a mine. Now my annual salary is about 20 grand less than what my $240,000 trucks made and I only...

There is a recall for the RTV-X1100C also for the floor mat. Mine is fine though they said I need to have it replaced. Some are delaminating from the underlay and wrinkling up under the fuel pedal which may cause the pedal to get stuck full throttle.

Lot of years ago for my memory, LOL. Was in 2007. I can't really be too specific. I only did that for a year or two and then went back into trucking. I was averaging 3417 miles a week. And I did have to replace the factory tires in that time. Had good luck with Continentals that came on the one...

I like that! I've always been a fan of on-board scales on my big trucks. Makes me want to trade my 20 for a new one now. If there were any available, LOL

I used to haul new travel trailers from the factories to dealers years ago. I ran both single and dual rear wheel pickups. The duallies sure were a lot nicer to drive in the wind storms with a big trailer behind you. So much more stability.

When I was a child I grew up a block away from a Massey Ferguson dealer. So when I finally decided to buy a tractor I wanted a Massey in the worst way. But there are no longer any Massey dealers within 4 or 5 hours of me, and at the time I finally pulled the trigger, the 1526 was in limbo and...

Like has been posted before.....according to my John Deere and Kubota dealer, Kubota has the sales lead in under 80 h.p. tractors and JD leads over 80 h.p. Being an old Massey Ferguson fan, I found it interesting to see Massey sales rated so high up in so many regions of the world, yet I never...

Well over 500 on mine. Bulletproof.

Looked at the quotes again.....they were with tax in, so that's why so high also. Still way too much though for what you are getting.

I have the cabbed Kubota, so it came with glass and a wiper/washer. But my friends have turbo 1000 Can Am's and Polaris's and they all got glass from the dealers. They have all tried the hard coated and said after a while they still scratch and discolour in the sun. So they replaced them all...

Nope, just the Canadian rip off dealers in northern Ontario. A Pioneer 1000-5 with only a windshield added was $34,000. A Honda Talon was $36,000. My Kubota/Deere dealer has a John Deere XUV 835M (the one with the yellow vinyl interior, not the R with the cloth) but it still has air...

Used prices are crazy right now. I'm in Canada, so my prices vary from you, but I know all kinds of people right now that traded heir new truck after one year and keep ordering new ones for the next model year and they are MAKING 6 to 12 thousand on every trade up!! LOL I think covid got into...

I would go Pioneer. Like you say......they are the nicest thing out there that can carry passengers because they are no longer than a standard two seater. And Honda reliability is legendary, which I cannot say about the new Polaris's. I got a Sportsman 570 that has been junk from day one, and my...

Was going to mention too.....we al get broken windshields in our automobiles, but I have yet to have any of my friends get a stone chip or break the glass windshield in their UTV's. So I wouldn't be paranoid about glass.

Glass is the only way to go. Even the hard coated lexan go crappy after a while. You're better off not wasting a big chunk of money on lexan, and spend a bigger chunk of money on glass and be happy for years to come.

I remember that. I'm so sick of hearing people say the Ford Explorer was unsafe. I had a 95 two door sport and it was not unstable at all. The problem came with Ford saying to run, it was either 24 or 26 PSI? in the tires. That was what was on the door jam sticker. And that was the problem with...

My dealer is a Kubota and John Deere dealer and the owner told me the same thing.....Kubota owns the market up to 70h.p. but then Deere takes the lead after that.

On my last F150 I put BF Goodrich TA KO2's on it. But I wasn't that pleased with their winter performance. They were good in snow and ice, but didn't seem too stable on the wet slushy stuff. My new F150 came with Goodyear Wrangler Fortitudes. So far they are doing good. And last winter I ran...

Coming from a guy with a New Holland. LOL

I'm really bummed out right now because I am going on a week long ATV ride and I have to ride one of my Polaris's because my RTV is too slow for my friends. I just need new friends.

It would be a workhorse for sure. I don't really have the need for one, as my 1100C does everything I need it to. But I'm sure many farm and utility users could make use of that. My wish list is to get it to do 30 MPH. Then it would be perfect.

Yanmar makes good engines too, but no denying the fact that Kubota makes everything on their tractors. Engines and transmissions. And Kubota was the very first diesel engine manufacturer to meet the EPA requirements when all this emissions stuff started. I read that in an article about the...

I work the heck out of my 2013 B2620 and only issue it has ever had was the weld broke on the loader joystick. So if the 90's Kubota's are even better than that....that's awesome!

I like the tractors Dodgeman. It was just those stupid little issues and read about them year after year after year. And it took them a few years before they added the grease location of that joint into the manual. I WOULD rather have greaseable joints.....if they were accessible. The one big...

Maybe current owners can correct me on this, but here are my reasons for passing over the 1R and 2R Deere's and their previous 2X20 series. For years and even after the model update all I kept reading about on all the forums was complaints of loader arms and fuel tank mounting brackets that...

Only my personal preference, but for SCUT to JD2R size class I prefer Kubota and Massey Ferguson. JD3R size and up, a good dealer would be the deciding factor between a Kubota, Massey or JD.

A couple years ago when I first was going to buy the RTV, then got stupid and bought another Polaris that I still regret to this day, I was going to get that Kubota straight blade Coobie. That's all you really need. The Kubota vee plow is a lot more expensive. This time around I sold my F550, so...

Boy, I guess I'm different from most people. I got tired of "toys" now I don't even touch my junk Polaris's. I like a work machine. And mine has no problem going 25 MPH on the roads with the AC on or off. According to my speedo and a Garmin GPS. I hauled gravel all day up my hills and didn't...

No disrespect to this forum, but I mentioned the other one just because there seems to be the most RTV info on it. I don't have the links, but if you just go into their RTV forum there is all kinds of good info. There's a couple members on there that know how to get max performance out of them...

Get the manuals and check your linkages, or bring it to dealer. Something must not be set up right. It should go the same as my 1100C and it does 25/26 MPH both on the speedo and my Garmin GPS. There's a few really god threads on net tractor talk also that detail how to set them all up.

I used a Boss dealer 4 hours from home (locals don't call you back) and they said install is 5 hours? I don't know if it took them that, but they waited 5 hours to call me and say it was ready, LOL Wife and I went for breakfast and toured around.

Thank you. Now it probably won't snow this winter, LOL

Finally got my Boss plow installed. Didn't have to adjust the front springs to a harder position, doesn't droop much when raised. I'm impressed with how high it lifts. Just have to remove it later to see if I am still going to be able to put my receiver hitch mounted winch back on without...

All I can say is Carlisle makes the Titan and small Good Year branded tractor tires, and they all get cracks all over the sidewalls. Even my Carlisle atv tires. And my stuff is parked inside when not in use. Carlisle is a very good company to deal with. One phone call and they sent me 4 brand...

I can't help either. My CA is now 12V and I have no lid on my battery box because the battery is too tall.

Finally got my plow. I got the three skid shoes too, just never had time to put them on yet.

You can have a lot of skill when you are not worried about your new vehicle, LOL

Reminds me of a time I took a group of people to tour an old abandoned mine. All the logging roads and trails got washed out from a storm. I had a 1995 Ford Explorer 2 door sport, and it was at the end of it's life. I had it on one and two wheels at times, water coming in the doors. The other...

And like you said about value Haydude, when I wanted to get rid of my 07 F350 (the one I blew up twice) dealers would give me NOTHING for it on trade in. And the one I just sold recently, I almost had to beg the guy to buy it and give him the whole sales pitch of all the work that was done to...

Studding and bulletproofing helps, but I still blew one up that had that (was tuned for power) and they can still be expensive when stupid little things fail on the road like injectors and IRP valves. Just sold my last one. I'll go slower up the hills and burn gas.

Rear implements are still easier.....but the B26/2920 have a drive over mid mount mower deck that is pretty easy to take on and off. another good reason to buy it, is you can have that 29 h.p. without a DPF or catalyst to worry about.

My B2620 has never let me down. I have a pic thread on here somewhere. I have made one mile of bush road on my property with it and have moved 330 metric tons of gravel up my hills with it over the coarse of a couple days. Pulls my 60 inch box blade easily while maintaining those roads and...

That is sweet redfin00. Oh wait.....I mean that is junk, you should send it to Canada and I'll take it off your hands, LOL! Seriously, I would keep that and keep it pristine.

Very cool pics everyone!

Well like I said Hay Dude, you are right about diesel still ruling the heavy loads, but if you are like me and not maxing your truck right out, gas is a lot simpler now that the EPA has ruined the diesel engine.

I just use my new F150 now. I only have to tow the RTV/B Series or Allis Chalmers CA, so it is more than enough for that. If I ever had to replace my F550 I'll get one with the new 7.3 gas engine. The reduced maintenance costs and cheaper purchase price will make up for any increased fuel...

I have the cabbed 1100 model. That was my only complaint.....I thought the factory cab should have been quieter inside. I thought it was loud......until I drove my friends Polaris RZR 900 and a Can Am 1000 turbo. They are horribly loud (and hot) compared to my Kubota.

Biggest enemy of the 6.0. Powerstroke is the Ford Gold coolant. The silicates drop out of it, plug the oil cooler and egr coolers, cause flash boiling and hot spots which pushes out the head gaskets. First thing you do with a 6.0 is flush the coolant and put a good extended life coolant in it. I...

I use an empty gear oil bottle (because I use UDT in my tractors front axle) with pointed spout and just squeeze it into the filler holes.

API CK-4 oils exceed the performance criteria of API CJ-4, CI-4 with CI-4 PLUS, CI-4, and CH-4 and can effectively lubricate engines calling for those API Service Categories. They are backwards compatible. The only one you need to stay away from is the new FA-4 category that is made for the...

I'm betting you will get very close to what you paid for it. Since you can no longer get a tractor of that horsepower without all the emission junk on it anymore, they are in high demand.

Talk to your Massey salesman. Last winter I got new rims with tires mounted through Kubota Wholegoods cheaper than I could buy just the tires for anywhere else. Not sure if Massey does the same, but Kubota sales can get packages like that cheaper than parts department can.

Motorcycle chain lube for me. And if I run out and use my blower I'll use chainsaw bar oil.

I had that problem with mine, but I just had to pull and bend mine up a bit and it solved that. Mine were touching. Then I had to put an extra washer behind my Orange Aftermarket rear protection plate because it was doing the same. And lastly, put a couple wraps of electrical tape on the...

I love my RTV-X1100C. Only time my really bogs down on my hills with a load of gravel in the box is when the AC is on. That sure sucks a LOT of power. But as has been said, let up on the pedal a bit and it picks right back up. My one wish was that Kubota could make them go at least 30 MPH. That...

Lucky you're not in Canada. I'll have $31,000 into mine. Then $5300 for the Boss Power Vee XT 6.6 plow. My plow is in, but still waiting for the wire harness to show up at the Boss dealer. I LOVE this RTV-X1100C. I don't even trail ride with my atv's any more. The wife always wants to go in the...

That's odd. They have MANY RTV's here used on wind tower construction jobs where they are working in mud, on mountains and loaded and driven by guys that don't have a penny invested in them, and I've yet to see one fail. That was all the "sales pitch" I need to go buy one.

Glad to see that tractor is working good for you Dave. It's a keeper!

Fluids are fine. Change them and filters long before what is called for. Pedal moves freely. Just notice sometimes both wheels spin. Oh well, it's a 2013 so time for some new toys anyway. The 55 Allis will take over while I wait for the new Kubota to come in.

Oh well, it is what it is. When it breaks I'll fix it.

That price is reasonable too. I went and checked Marketbook and any of the ones for sale that looked as nice of shape as yours were as high as the mid $5000's USD. I was just thinking about this the other day.....I wonder if Kubota's will ever gain collector status like all the other antique...

Nice! I'd love to find a good antique Kubota to put in my collection.

I have been using Tompson Water Seal on my wood decks but find that although water still beads on it, the wood still gets weathered looking in the sun. A few people have told me to use linseed oil and that it is much better.

My diff lock has been stuck engaged on my B2620 for a long time now. It's actually kinda handy for all the uphill box blading I do on my bush road. LOL Doesn't really tear the lawn up mowing and not causing any tire wear so I'm not really concerned. If it ever fails then I will fix it.

If you don't need a loader, I would look at buying an antique tractor. Far cheaper than new, tougher, more reliable, simpler to work on. I can almost guarantee my 1955 Allis Chalmers will still be working when the new tractors are wore out.

I must have got a good one. I have hauled a 22 tonne dump truck load up my hills into the bush with mine so far. It actually goes 1 MPH faster with a load on climbing the hill. Only time it slows down is if I have the AC on. That sucks a lot of power. But as has been said with AC on when it...

My dealer gave me all the manuals for my new RTV on a fancy little Kubota USB flash drive for free. Maybe check with your dealer. Mine told me Kubota is trying to be big on saving the environment and they would rather download you the manuals for free than have people buying paper manuals.

Last thing, I'm sure someone did this and it isn't stock? The rough one has the grill and front of the hood raised. Compared to the other one.

And though the serial numbers are very close, you can still see minor differences. And a different shade of red paint. I don't think either one of them has been painted, because even the mower decks are that same different shade. You can see the different air filter locations too.

And here is the one with the non running engine. The wood in the seat back is rotten, the steering wheel center cap is rough shape, no hubcaps with this one and looks like a home made exhaust on it. And it has foot pegs versus the running boards.

Warning.....will be picture heavy. I know they aren't anything super collectable, but I still wanted to save from scrap where they were going. First I'll show the better of the two. The one that runs. Muffler is definitely wore out because it is LOUD. Paint is not perfect on either, but they...

No big panic Can Do, but if you ever come across any I'd be interested. I'd like to keep them as original looking as possible. I'll try and get better pics of what I have later today.

I started searching for another set of hubcaps and a steering wheel center cap for sale on the internet but so far no luck. I found a steering wheel cap but it was faded worse than the one bad one I have.

Cool Can Do. I have a John Deere JS48 self propelled push mower that is made by Snapper. I recently read that also about Snapper making mowers for MF. What years did that cover? I'd love to get to PA some time for a trip. That would be cool for the wife and I to take both lawn tractors. You...

Thanks Can Do. They are Tecumseh horizontal shaft engines. One engine is seized in the one with no hub caps. I'm going to see if it can be saved. If not I will repower it. I have a brand new Mitsubishi engine sitting here. The other one is good and staying all original. I figured one would...

Well, I still want to add a full size classic Massey to my collection, but I just scored two 1971 MF 7's. The one with no hubcaps needs motor work and the one with hubcaps needs a seat. Both have mower decks. I'm just going to clean them up. I don't want to touch the paint as they are all...

Nice tractor Hay Dude. To me, there is no nicer sound than the old Mack Superliner's I used to run with cranked up Mack E9 V8's with dual straight pipes pulling 140,000 pounds up 12% grades. This kinda sound.

I just don't like that drone. I do like straight piped class 8 diesels though.

I've currently been driving an International MV (Durastar) with the 6.7 Cummins. I got a job operating equipment in a mine last year when I decided I had enough of the trucking industry after 36 years. Don't even want to drive any more, but since I'm the guy with a license, I've been having to...

They are still producing metals and plastic in Canada too...

Only thing I hate about the Cummins is they sound horrible. especially when guy straight pipe them. Whereas an ISX straight piped sounds awesome, the little ones sound sick. Nothing beats the sound of a V8. They sure are making a killing with that 5.9/6.7 Cummins though. It's in everything now...

It was 2007's when I ran 5.9 Ram and 6.0 Powerstroke Ford's at same time. Pre DPF era, only EGR and catalytic converters on both brands. The Cummins averaged 15.5 US MPG empty/13 loaded. Same runs the Ford's averaged 20 empty, 15 pulling. And I know the old 7.3 Powerstroke (I can't remember what...

Wow! I thought it was just Kubota that had troubles translating their manuals, LOL

Too bad you sold the old ones. They looked to be in really nice shape.

I like that tractor Blown R/T. I always wanted a Case IH Farmall, being an owner and driver of many International trucks over the years. But I had no dealers around here and you never seen much of anything about them on these forums back in the day. Keep posting pics. Good to see one on here...

Yes, it's unfortunate about the once bad past between Japan and the US, but you really have to appreciate Kubota as a company and what they have accomplished. And I had no idea they were the start of Datsun/Nissan Motors. And the very first diesel engine to meet the new EPA regulations.

OK TMGT. In this context I can agree with you and Hay Dude. Obviously the old 5.9 Cummins was the most reliable of all. I won't argue that, or the Cat C7 not being the best Cat design. But they weren't horrible, and the 7.3 Powerstroke was by far the very best diesel offered in a Ford pickup...

Here is the history of Kubota I came across. https://www.kubota.com/museum/history/1890_1926.html I'd love to find one of those first T15's.

Wow, the 7.3 IH built Powerstroke and the Cat C7 horrible engines? No wonder I don't take advice from the internet forums, LOL

No I never Can Do. Not really able to do anything right now anyway. Border here is still in the flu lockdown. I like to go look at stuff in person when I buy. I don't always trust pictures. One of those would be nice because I am good friends with a retired Detroit Diesel mechanic and I know...

I gotta make a bracket like you got Coobie for your beacon. I have a remote control LED spotlight like the utility companies use. I want to put it on my 1100. It has a magnetic base.

I loving my new RTV-X1100C. Right now I have to keep my overpriced lemon junk Polaris's because I have two big rides planned this summer and my friends with their 180 h.p. turbo 1000's don't want to ride at 25 MPH with my Kubota, LOL But after this year they can ride without me because I'm not...

Yes, I have seen the CV/Silverado Can Do. I used to follow truck models pretty close. But I'm finally slowly getting out of that. I am an International guy at heart though. When I started tractor shopping I wanted a GC. Tried one out and loved it. Then starting thinking I should go a bit bigger...

I'm obviously joking........but I did use a few jugs to treat the posts of my decks, LOL

Use it to burn my garbage and for dust control in the driveway.😂😂😂😂

Ya, International used Cat until Cat pulled out of the on road market. Now it's just Cummins and the A26. I feel the same way. While Massey was always my favorite, I have no dealers close by, but have a Kubota/Deere dealer that treats me like gold. So I stayed with a 26 h.p. B2620 that has no...

No Can Do. The Paystar had a C13 Acert Cat 485 in it. I wanted a C15 but at that time they were on back order so went with the C13 and was really impressed with it. It pulled great. Had 2 friends with same trucks, same gearing and they had ISX 565's in theirs and I could stay right on their...

Thanks Can Do. I no longer have the Paystar. I have also exited the trucking industry after 36 years. I'm now an equipment operator in a mine. Got a few more years before I retire. Work 7 days and have 7 off. I love it! Lots of time to play now. The mine I work at has a brand new aluminum Dell...

Sorry, can't help you. Mine is running a 60 inch mid mount. But I can say it never powers out or loses blade tip speed so I can't see why you wouldn't have the power if you don't let it get too long or thick.

Wow! What a nice fleet. Even though I'm an ex trucking owner/op now heavy equipment operator, I come home and do landscaping and road building projects on my property with my Kubota's for fun. Just bought a backhoe for my B2620, and it is way nicer than shoveling, but a U27 excavator is next on...

You look like you take really good care of them. They all look in great shape, even the dump truck.

I'd remove that crap in a heartbeat. But fortunately now I don't need to. I retired from trucking, sold my diesel pickups and bought gassers, and am filling my yard with 26 horsepower Kubota's and antique gas tractors. Problem solved......at least until they start attacking gasoline. Sure I'd...

Good thinking!

That is a beautiful fleet Can Do!!

Your lucky. I live where most of the lumber is harvested and milled and sent to the States and an 8 foot 2x4 is over $9.00 here.

If I had to redeck my new one at current lumber prices it would be more than I paid for the whole trailer.

Good to hear. Yes, if I load from the rear, my bucket will fit within the dump bed sides. But that's what I was hoping, I can load the RTV and my son can drive it up and I can follow with a bucket in tractor when we have to do washout repair on my bush road.

Sent you a PM Farmergeovanni.

I wanted an 18 foot car hauler, flat with no sides. None in stock, and orders months out. So I ended up getting one of four of these my Kubota dealer had in stock. Only 16 foot and only 5700 pound load rating. But I needed a trailer for hauling my RTV-X1100C and for taking my Allis Chalmers CA...

Nice video. Nice lineup of machines too. I also like to be self sufficient. I have my TLB and now the RTV to haul material. Next on my list is a Kubota mini ex. I haven't hauled any gravel with the RTV yet. How does yours handle it? If I can at least haul and dump a full bucket from my B2620...

I always get my kids to post stuff for me on local facebook market place. I used to use Kijiji, they seem to eclipsed Auto Trader here in Canada.....but every time I listed something on those two sites I got nothing but scam replies. You know, the ones that are in foreign broken english asking...

Well, it's definitely not Kubota's fault. If it was delivered low on oil brand new, that is a poor dealer PDI, because that is their job you paid for. And please take no offence, but I'm kinda alarmed you hadn't checked your oil in 50 hours. Trust no dealer.....always check things for yourself.

Thank's Coobie, think I will price one. But Jake's idea is good too....and real cheap. I just re-read my owners manual. It describes every light on the Easy Checker and no where in the book does it ever say anything about the headlight indicator, so I'm thinking it is not active on this model...

So two questions. On the dash display outer edges where all the warning lights are....should the headlight icon not light up with the headlights on? Mine does not. Nor does the seatbelt light if we don't have them on. And, just as the Cat wheel loader I run in the mine does....when I put the...

Right on Jake. Good tip about the dowel. I think I might put a rear protector on. I have to trailer it to Sudbury end of July to get the Boss plow installed. I'll load it backwards and do that. I live in Goulais. I'm friends with Tom. Great guy. He does lots for me. Like this past winter. He...

Hey Jake. I was actually thinking about that, loading it backwards. Or covering the windows with cardboard or something when travelling. But I only had to take it home from Northshore Tractor in Echo Bay, so I took a chance this time. Highway is pretty clean right now. I used to be one of the...

Finally got mine home! I love it. And it climbs my hills no problem at all. WAY WAY HAPPY with this thing. Just gotta wait until end of June now for the Boss 6.6 Power Vee XT plow to come in. Dealer told me if I wait until then when they get their stock order it will save me the shipping cost...

I'm waiting on the receiver hitch mount for the winch and the front and rear wire harnesses for it. and the rear protection plate. My dealer already had everything else. But I don't want to haul it all the way home, then back again just for that.

Still haven't got mine yet. Still waiting on stuff from Orange Aftermarket to ship. You know.....everyone has a case of the covid lazy nowadays. Nobody has to work any more.

Thanks for your opinions Rdrcr. I consider an L2501 too, but I was always wondering if I'd like the FEL lever placement. I like my B with it beside me because I run big loaders at work and am used to the controls being close to me. (though now they are no longer joysticks, all fingertip control)...

Can't go wrong with Honda or Yamaha. Japanese know how to build tractors and motorcycles/atv's. Back in 2004/05 I swore by Polaris. My 2004 1/2 Sportsman 500 H.O. has been bulletproof. I plowed my yard which I park transports in for over 8 years with that thing. Not one issue. Original belt...

Don't know what your uses are, but for me my hydraulic angle rear blade sits and collects dust because I use the box blade for everything. So you won't regret getting it. The B series is a great tractor, you will love it.

I used to service my own trucks, but once got my dump truck serviced at dealer. I specifically asked them what kind of oil they used. They told me Shell Rotella, so I said perfect, that is what I want. I have sent all kinds of different brand samples to Caterpillar's SOS lab and Rotella always...

Yep, looks like my place too, mailbox and all. Just wish their merchandise department would make as much stuff as John Deere. I still can't get Kubota bedding and toilet paper, LOL

Not, not at all. But my rears do if it's wet when I do tight circles around my trees. And I am always in 4WD and I have R4's. My yard is sand. The gras and weeds are all that hold it together. It's actually more weed than grass......but it's green when it's mowed, LOL

Thanks mmancuso13. As long as it's do-able I'm happy. I like the option of using my winch on either end. I got the mount and harnesses from Orange Aftermarket, along with the rear protection plate.

Swampy6........I was just going to ask this.......I just ordered the Boss 6.6 vee plow for my new RTV 1100C and I was wondering if you could still use the grill guard. Looks like you can! One other question, my Boss dealer wasn't sure........do you still have access to the front receiver...

Here is what my dealer told me to get. The HLA BOQF10. But I just didn't feel like modifying or replacing my bucket. The HLA came in at $845 for the SS QA and $745 for the forks. I'll be happy with the Kubota pin style. I have no intention of ever using anything except the bucket and forks anyway.

Very nice! Enjoy.

Well, I just ordered the Kubota pin on quick attach and the pallet forks. Had to get through whole goods, parts guys couldn't find the numbers. Salesman told me it is going to be 3 to 4 months to get the QA and the fork frame. Said they have to make them? Kubota did have a set of forks though...

Moderators will be busy on this forum. The "brand loyals" are even more mental about their trucks than the tractor people. LOL

I've been back dragging with my bucket in full dump position for 8 years now with no issue. But I do it on float and I don't try and go wide open and ram stuff. Got many areas around my house where I back drag the snow and ice out, then move with the loader or snow blower.

I never even thought of this until now. Does Kubota use backhoe/Deere pattern? Because I only operate Cat pattern, so I'm probably going to be all screwed up? LOL

I know it's outdated, but didn't want to get rid of my B2620. So now that I have the 3 point arms all off to get it set up for the new backhoe I just bought for it I was wondering......am I remembering correctly that there was another B series that had extendable lower arms for the 3 point...

I emailed Land Pride today and as usual, great customer service and an answer right away. I have an RB1660 3pt rear angle blade with the hydraulic rotation. As I have mentioned before I don't use it very much because I can do almost anything with my box blade when I'm building and maintaining...

The new LX series brochure is now up. https://www.kubotausa.com/docs/default-source/brochure-sheets/20_04_08_lx_series_ktc.pdf?sfvrsn=35d4f886_4

Anyone have a 60 inch mid mount mower deck for a B2601 they can take a few measurments off of? My dealer, nor Kubota Canada can answer my question. I want to know if the RCK60-29 from my 2013 B2620 will fit on a B2601. I know the deck model number and part number are different, and that they...

Did you all see these? My local Cat dealer has one on display but I couldn't get pics as I am working nights and only see it in the dark. Cat has a new mulching package for the D3. The mulcher can be angled and tilted same as the blade. Cat | D3K2 Mulcher Dozer | Bulldozer | Crawler Dozer |...

Been a crappy winter this year. More freezing rain than snow. Big change from out annual 13.5 feet of snowfall. Got the plow truck but I rarely use it. I prefer the tractor. Better visibility, more maneuverable and easier on fuel. But once in a while I will fire up the truck just to run it. It...

Was looking at all the new Kubota offerings that are coming and was quite surprised to see these. Looks like Kubota is offering trailers now too! Kubota | K-Haul Trailers

The new Canadian built M8 is up on the web site now. Not sure if this has been posted here yet. This is the result of the partnership with Versatile tractors built in Manitoba. Kubota gains a bigger tractor and Versatile will gain the Kubota KVT variable transmission for their tractors...

Anybody know anything about the 3625 models from 2006/2007? Were they a good tractor? Any known issues?

Lately I have been seeing all kinds of adds in magazines and the farming channels on TV and Sirius Radio for these tractors like Zetor and some other Russian brand advertising they are tier 3 with no emissions BS and no electronics. How are they allowed to sell NEW tractors with no emissions...

I heard rumors and it finally did happen! Canadian built Versatile tractor is going to be building orange versions of large agricultural tractors. Page not found – RealAgriculture This is one of the new models. Guess we will now have a Cummin's powered Kubota.

I found that with the Kubota RTV-X1100C cab. I tried one last summer and I was shocked at how loud it was in the cab. Did you put a heater in the cab for your plowing? Do you think it will fog up at all? I was just at my Kubota dealer today and they have some of the new RTV 850 Sidekicks...

I just looked up the dealer I saw them at. 219 Cub Cadet Challenger 75 EPS for sale | Allen's Automotive - Manitowaning (75) 859-2525 They have a lots of nice features like you say. You have any dislikes so far?

That sure does look nice. I don't have a CC dealer here, but I was working out of town a couple months ago and saw a couple at a dealer. I thought they looked pretty good. You're in Ontario too? What are the Canadian prices on those if you don't mind me asking? I should have stopped and looked...

I had this posted on a Kubota forum, but now that we have a project thread here I'll post it up here too so people can see what can be done with a small tractor. I'll start with this......some of the one kilometre of bush road I made on my property for harvesting my firewood from up in the back...

Been wanting an antique tractor for a long time and finally got one. 1955 Allis Chalmers CA. Motor was just rebuilt, new drive clutch, converted to 12 volt. I'm going to fully restore it now and get everything back to original.

There has been talk here about the difference between the US SUDT and the Canadian Premium UDT from Kubota. Well I have done two oil and filter changes on my B2620 with the Premium UDT, and at 520 hours I did the third changeout and tried the SUDT I bought in Michigan just to see if there is...

If I get a chance this weekend I am going to go visit my dealer and try and find out more about these. Kubota | RTV-XG

Bought my first Sportsman 500 H.O. back in 2004. It's the 04.5 half year model with the updates. One of the best purchases I ever made. It plowed my yard for 8 years plus all my trail riding. Only ever changed the battery and tires. NOTHING else. Has been bulletproof. Only today just noticed it...

Kubota unveiling its first-ever diesel engine above 1HP, ready for Stage V regulations

Need a quick Kioti education. My friend in another town is going to buy a bigger tractor and he has a Kioti dealer. He was looking at a brand new 35h.p. cab tractor.....but looking on the Kioti site it says the DK was discontinued and now the NX45 is the smallest cab tractor? Is this right? He...

Anyone else notice Kubota Canada has a new web site. They are finally posting downloadable owners manuals too, like JD has been doing!!!!! Kubota | Home

Went to look at a friends B2620 this weekend. He bought it used and the hydro pedals do not neutral (center.) Everything moves freely. So I removed that HST damper, the thing that looks like a shock with the rubber boot over it. (part # 6C350-4335-0 Is this part supposed to center? When I push...

API CK-4 oils will replace current CJ-4 engine oils and will be backwards compatible with most applications in which CJ-4 is used today. They all offer improved shear stability, oxidation resistance and aeration control, the API claims. API FA-4 oils will provide similar improvements, but...

Curious about your opinions. I'm a diesel guy, but recently bought a VW Tiguan SUV. It has the 2.0 liter turbo engine. It says it requires premium gas. I rarely drive it as I am always using the trucks, and when I do, I'm not throttling on it. Nor does it get really hot here in the summers...

They are going to have a functional ram-air hood, with an air/water separator. Will be a nice feature with all the under hood heat these pickups make when towing heavy.

What do you think? I'm trying to set my snow blower up to work with my quick hitch and have the same problem as with the Wallenstien chipper/shredder. I can get the bottom pins to sit in tight but no matter what combinations I use the top pin does not sit down tight in the top hook. There is a...

Here's a good one. A friend's new F-350 diesel started acting up. Limped it to dealer. Was throwing all kinds of codes and was stuck in fifth gear. Diagnosis: 6 modules in the transmission, all bad. Here's the best part. Ford has none in the parts supply. Told him it will be about a month. In...

Anyone else hear the announcement......Kubota says they are going to enter the large AG tractor market. They are going to start developing tractors larger than the new M7 over the next 2 to 4 years. Can't wait to see what they come out with.
