Cab adds nearly 500 Lbs. to 2650.

Most of the issues with the 3350 have been resolved, though it took some time and owners must insist that updates, etc., be performed, and dealers may well resist. There will be no notifications from Kubota. More importantly, Kubota has extended the warranty of the reformer (source of most...

Indeed, it does to move uphill. SDT

Rim Guard in a 2650/3350 is nowhere near 800 Lbs. The 3350/3310 is much more powerful than is the 2650/2610. SDT

Bingo. I do not use liquid ballast for multiple reasons, preferring cast iron and ballast boxes. SDT

Of course. The B3350/LX3310 is much more powerful than is the B2650. SDT

Agreed. No problems. As always, common sense is assumed. SDT

Yes. This is probably the most frequent complaint regarding the 2650. There was an extensive thread about this topic herein about two years ago. Owner had 2650 with loaded (rear) optional oversized tires, FEL, and Land Pride three point mounted finish mower. Complained that he needed to go to...

While visiting my local CNH/Kubota dealership yesterday, I chatted with my most trusted salesman acquaintance. He told me that their Kubota regional salesperson had visited a day or so earlier informing them that anything ordered now would be delivered in about 12 months, confirming that...

I expect you are right. The Kubota draft control offered for the L series tractors is a bit of a Rube Goldberg, composed entirely of external linkages. I expect that various valves, valve controls, etc., interfere with the draft control linkages, control, etc., requiring alternative...

Kubota does not and cannot control independent dealer sell/trade pricing. One always gets burned when trading relatively new equipment. SDT

The hoods are not the same and I doubt that they are interchangeable but am not certain.

Any rear ballast, e.g., wheel weights, cast centers, liquid ballast, counterweight, etc., will increase rear wheel traction. Three point mounted counterweights are most effective. I have multiple FWA tractors with FELs that are sometimes operated on steep ground. Though I avoid FWA when not...

Found it, and it is not the U joint. While examining the pin at the rear of the front driveshaft I noticed that the spring that returns the HST pedal to neutral rubs on the rear U joint collar and end of the retaining pin when the HST pedal is in certain positions. This is causinig the noise...

I do not recall any such thread but I believe that have determined how to remove the front driveshaft without removing the front axle from the tractor with the help of a copy of the parts break-down from the illustrated parts manual. The rear (HST end) end of the driveshaft is splined and...

Completely enclosed without grease fittings. 625 hours. Never a FEL. SDT

Lately, I've noticed noise that appears to be coming from the U joint in the front axle driveshaft. The front drive shaft is enclosed and there is no mention of any required servicing of the U joint in the Owner's Manual. Upon loosening the plastic joint between the rear driveshaft cover and...

Yes. Expensive and sometimes problematic, especially on B models. SDT

Yes, particularily snow blower and rotary broom. That said, a 72" MMM is available for the GL series. SDT

Mid PTO can be installed by dealer on cab model L6060 tractors without split. Not so of ROPS models. SDT

Though I have no direct experience with the Kubota gensets, I have looked at such. Cost? I installed a 20 KW Kohler whole-house back-up generator and automatic transfer switch about 5 years ago, considering the cost reasonable. I heat with Propane so I chose a propane version but NG versions...

So did I. I have 2 or 3 unopened pails on hand as well as 1 or 2 pails of engine oil. SDT

Because the dealer "wants to sell you a Kubota" and will tell you what you want to hear in order to get you to make a deposit. Dealer will deal with delayed delivery when the time comes. SDT

Agreed. I plow snow from my driveways with a FEL mounted plow on my B3350 ROPS. I installed a HF 22" light bar beneath and inside of the ROPS using the HF wiring harness powered from the Kubota rear work lamp circuit. No problems even with both light bar and rear work lamp on. SDT

LED lights are kinda like one-ton dualey diesels. You might not need 'em but ya still want 'em. SDT

Nice set up and VERY cost effective. Do your knees bump the switches? SDT

Agreed. The short wheelbase and small tires make for a rough ride. SDT

Too big for most conditions and nearly all 60" cutters exceed the 500 Lb. maximum recommended weight limitation in the Operator's Manual. No, I did not say that it could not be done, only that it is too big and too heavy for most conditions. SDT

Glow plugs may or may not function but have nothing to do with starter circuit. Yes, there is a clutch switch that prevents cranking unless the clutch is depressed. There is no such PTO switch on the B1750 (at least in the US). Your symptoms (smoke near starter) indicate loose, damaged, etc...

Remove the left side engine screen and inspect for loose, burnt or otherwise damaged wiring at and near the starter. Note that there is s fusible link in the harness at the starter. Post back. SDT

I bought my first Kubota in 94 and still have it. I also have 4 other Kubotas and have found all to be well built and reliable. No, I did not say perfect. I've owned other brands, e.g., NH, MF, JD, etc. and find parts prices to be comparable with Kubota. Chalk that one up to myth. SDT

Trust me, my L6060 is enormously more powerful than either of the MF 35 diesels that I once owned. Even noticeably more powerful than the 2007 MF 533 with 202 CI Perkins engine that I also once owned. No comparison to any of the three regarding power convenience or work output, but it uses much...

FWIW: I bought a new B1750HSD in 1994. It gets, very good maintenance, is stored inside, is not abused, and still has ALL original hoses, fan belt, etc. SDT

Install a new zerk. If that does not work, remove the pin and inspect. I once bought a grapple bucket that had one zerk that would not take. Turns out that the hole into which the zerk was installed had not been drilled completely through. I found two colors of grease on the zerk indicating...

Getting a jury to side with a plaintiff against a large corporation is one thing. Having such judgment hold up on appeal is quite another. Unless and until it does, any precedential value is negligible. I expect that the buyer was offered rear ballast but declined. I also expect that he was not...

Beet juice equipment is expensive and I have neither need nor intention of buying such. SDT

A BH is very heavy and you have been spoiled. FWIW, my L6060 (ROPS) will not back up a very slight incline on crushed rock with the FEL and (empty) 4-in-1 bucket attached unless in FWA or counter weight is attached. No beet juice as I still change/repair my own tires but it does have the...

When the relief valve opens you will hear the engine labor (do this at idle) and probably hear a muffled hissing sound. SDT

Bingo. Not uncommon and even more common if optional draft control is installed. SDT

Interesting. Prior to the extension, it was 5 years parts and labor in the US. Different laws. SDT

So would I.

Kubota L6060 is 60 engine HP, 53 PTO HP. (MX 6000 is a larger frame size but uses the same engine.) JD 4066R is, perhaps, a couple HP more. Both are the largest HST tractors made by the respective manufacturers and are BIG HST tractors by todays standards. Neighbor has a GST Kubota and has had...

Agreed. HST transmissions are not well suited for ground engaging tasks. SDT

Bingo. A 50+ PTO HP HST tractor is a BIG HST tractor. Ignoring the commercially unsuccessful IH HST tractors of the late 60s/early 70s such HST tractors have only been available recently and will be electronics and emissions laden. SDT

Agreed. 9 MPH is fantasy land. SDT

Not surprising but still worth the investigation. I doubt that Kubota will change it's mind, fair or otherwise, but you could open a claim with Customer Satisfaction. I did this once and was successful but my claim was less than 10% of yours. I wrote a very detailed and very persuasive letter...

The original warranty on the emissions system has always been 5 years as mandated by federal law. If you were charged to repair emissions system failures within 5 years, your dealer has participated in the not uncommon practice of warranty fraud. SDT

Agreed. SDT

PSB-2021-050-E, dated March 31, 2021. This is an internal only document so no link. Your dealer likely will not provide you with a copy but I have verified it with two dealers. SDT

Kubota recently extended the warranty on the B3350 reformer and related components (with provisions) for the life of the machine. Do not know Kubota's policy regarding those who have already paid for emissions system repairs but it would certainly be worth inquiring in order to find out. SDT

No chance of a class action lawsuit in this case. Not enough money to be made by tort attorneys. SDT

Perhaps no reason to do so anymore. It's the only model with a lifetime, transferrable emissions warranty. SDT

Not announced publicly. PSB-2021-050-E. Internal only so no link. There was a thread about it a few weeks ago on OTT. Sorry, no link. SDT

Well said, Taken. SDT

Bingo, but only the reformer and other emissions components that might have failed due to reformer failure. I had planned to bite the bullet and sell mine but might keep it now. It's the only tractor with a transferrable lifetime "emissions" warranty. SDT

Bingo. That's what I do. SDT

Recently, Kubota has quietly extended the warranty for the reformer and related components for the life time of the machine. There is a brief discussion of this on the Orange Board, linked below. Discussion is well down on page three...

I have no such issues with my L6060 though I have some very steep hills. That said, having stall guard and Auto HDS on at the same time will cause a bucking bronco effect when climbing hills near power limit. No, I do not over fill my sump. SDT

Stall guard does not compensate for increased load by increasing engine RPM. Rather Stall compensates for increased load by reducing speed (increasing effective gear ratio), same as backing off on the HST pedal. Having both stall guard and auto throttle advance on at the same time can produce...

Agreed. SDT

Agreed. It actually does "work that way." Lifting the HST pedal does, indeed, increase effective gear ratio (reduce speed). SDT

Bingo. SDT

Bingo. Kubota does not send its tractors to NE for testing, nor do many others these days. The NE tests remain the gold standard of tractor performance tests but testing is expensive and time consuming. Of course we all know that gear driven tractors put considerably more HP to the drawbar...

Bingo. SDT

It's the nature of the design. Using a properly adjusted slip clutch on your mower will make no difference. Let us know the results of the smaller orifice and cost of installation after it has been done. SDT

Tiller and loaded tires add a lot of weight to the rear tires. FEL adds a lot of weight to the front. R1 tires? SDT

I own three HST Kubotas including an L6060 and a B3350. High is for transport and light duty work on level ground. M is for non ground engaging work and much work on steep ground. L is for some work on steep ground, FEL work, and similar tasks. Loading one down with liquid or cast iron...

Sounds normal to me. Stop on a hill in high range with engine at near full throttle. Mash HST pedal fully to floor. Stall engine? Thought so. SDT

I doubt that anyone will publicly admit doing so even if they are. SDT

That's what I would do as it's still within warranty. Be advised that Kubota will not pay a warranty claim if the dealer does not find anything wrong. As a result, Your dealer may charge you. Mine most certainly would.

Same as mine. SDT

Confused here. High range is rabbit. Low range is turtle. SDT

My 6060 does the same thing and always has. No shudder or stop, just creep. SDT

I spoke with the regional Kubota sales rep recently and he told me that the supply shortage is likely to get much worse in spring/summer. SDT

Investigate the plow condition thoroughly. Kubota offered both self-contained, electric-over-hydraulic (light duty) plows that mounted to the front receiver as well as HD commercial plows that required an expensive optional hydraulic package. Yes, mileage/hours are getting up there. Probably...

Bingo regarding the R14Ts. I posted here several months ago about the ballooning of the new R14T tires, especially, the optional, oversize ones available on the ROPS models. When a tractor with R4s is sitting alongside another of the same model with R14Ts, the ballooning is so obvious as to...

Is it the SAYA-507? Do I see the optional weight package? How much? SDT

Is that a Tar River drill? If so, how do you like it? Been looking at them. SDT

Operators manual advises to stop engine before shifting EPTO selector. SDT

Enormous cantilevered stresses on the transaxle, especially with heavy implements mounted. SDT

Hard to beat Woods and Bush Hog. I bought a Woods BW15.50 about two years ago and have found it to be all it was advertised to be. Woods has a proprietary blade mounting system that makes it easy to change blades even after years of use. The BW is my 4th new Woods cutter in the past 12/13...

Was unaware that R14T tires were yet available in BX sizes. SDT

Moving the wheel/tire combinations side to side will adjust tread width to either of two positions. SDT

Many things can be done with enough time and/or effort and this will require some of both because the bucket curl function is used to lift/lower the rear of the FEL frame during removal/installation. SDT

Many (most, all?) manufacturers pay their dealers for set-up and PDI. I expect that Kubota does as well, but am not certain. Anyone know conclusively? SDT

Yesterday, I visited one of the Kubota dealers where I do business because he had 3 new LX series tractors in stock. All were ROPS models and all had the optional over sized tires, available only on ROPS models. The 3310 had R4 tires whereas both 2610s had R14T tires. Aside from appearing...

Just learned about this on the other board but details are sketchy. I understand that it affects L and MX series tractors. Anyone know any details? SDT

Sometime, in the future I plan to replace my Kubota B3350 ROPS with either the forthcoming LX3310 or, perhaps, a JD2038R. The 3310 is the replacement for the 3350 and nearly identical in size and HP while the 2038R is about 500 Lbs. heavier and has about three more PTO HP but appears to be...

As expected, the new LX3310 is common rail injected. This should eliminate the regeneration issues that so plagued the B3350. Cab models have LED work lights and optional air ride seat. Both models offer single lever FEL hydraulic connections. Quick connect front hitch similar to BX models...

I bought my B1750 HST/MMM new in 1993, still own it, and consider it to be the best major purchase made in my life. I did not buy a FEL or BH. Yesterday two of my neighbors and I worked on a small community project creating a berm of crushed rock to allow over length vehicles to negotiate a...

Today I learned from my dealer who learned it from their Kubota representative that Kubota is no longer accepting orders for the B3350 (at least in my Midwest region) and that the common rail replacement will be announced at the dealer's meeting in September. SDT

Mowed for about four hours with the L6060 and Woods BB720X HD 6' cutter today. Parcel is mostly fescue and orchard grass, is irregular, some places steep and lots of obstacles. M9960 with either Woods BB840X 7' cutter or, especially 15' BW is not practical here due to the many obstacles. Parcel...

Folks, I guess it's time for me to stop bragging about my flawless 1993 B1750. Today, while mowing with the 60" MMM, the spring that returns the hydro pedal to neutral failed. I finished the section that I was working on by returning the pedal to neutral with my hand but decided not to try to...

Folks, this has been a struggle. I bought my B3350 ROPS with FEL in June of 2018 but did not buy a MMM because I did not need one. Recently, I found and bought a like new, low hour RC72-30B MMM for a price that I was willing to pay, knowing that I might never use it. It was removed from a...

Today, I saw a Kubota walk behind lawn mower at my dealer. It had a 179CC recoil start Kawasaki engine with a replaceable oil filter, cast aluminum deck, and three speed transmission for the RWD. Truly a premium unit aside from the recoil start. It had been special ordered for a customer. The...

Recently, I stumbled across a very low hour 6' MMM in excellent condition that had been removed from a B3030 trade in. The buyer of the 3030 did not want the MMM so I bought it with all hardware and owners manual. One does not find these things separately, let alone in pristine condition. I...

Though late, I'm finally getting around to finding a hard rubber or poly cutting edge for the V5060 snow plow on my RTV-X1100C. Kubota does not offer such cutting edge. Anyone Know where I can get one, hopefully, but not necessarily, pre-drilled. SDT

I believe it will fit without modifications or different brackets. Anyone know with certainty? SDT

I just returned from the Louisville show where I learned that the R-14T tires are now available . Both Good Year and Titan had displays and Kubota had two or three models with R14Ts mounted. They look to be just the thing for those who cannot decide between R-1s and R-4s. SDT

Does anyone know the procedure to appeal the denial of a Kubota warranty claim? Issue is complicated and lengthy so will not try to explain details here but certainly something that Kubota would not deny if all of the details and the sequence of events were known by a person having the...

This week I learned that, as predicted, the mechanically injected 1.5 L 4 cylinder engine used in the B3350, F series and high end ZTR mowers is being replaced with a common rail design. This should eliminate issues with regeneration just as Kubota has apparently resolved such. I've expected...

It appears that Kubota has recently changed their policy regarding regen warranty claims. I will not go into details at this time but it appears that Kubota has decided that they are spending too much money for regen issues submitted during the warranty period, and is aggressively looking for...

My dealer recently received their first RTV-XG850 Sidekick. It's the "Special" (black, aluminum wheels, etc.) version. I have a RTV-X1100C and am not in the market but I had not seen one so I looked it over. It's an 850 cc twin DOHC 4 cycle water cooled engine producing 48 HP. Brochure says...

I would like to replace the steel cutting edge on my Kubota V 5060, 60" snow plow with a hard rubber or poly cutting edge . This plow is used on my Kubota RTVX-1100C. Kubota does not offer a rubber or poly cutting edge for this plow. The OEM edge is 1/4" flat steel 72" long X 6" wide and is...

Does anyone have any information on the new RC3712 HD 12' bat wing? I believe it has been released for sale but do no find it on the LP website. SDT

Today I finally mounted the 5' cutter on the B3350 to try it out. (Love it!) As expected, I will need front weights to use it in all the places where I plan to do so. I have a complete set of 5 front weights and the front weight bracket for it (great CL find about a month ago) but have not yet...

Currently, I have 4 Kubotas including an L6060 and a B1750. I am currently shopping for a B3350. Serendipitously, I received two quotes for a B3350 yesterday. Included in my quotes was a front weight bracket and 5 front weights, as I plan to use a 600 Lb. 5' rotary cutter with this tractor...

Considering replacing my M9960HDC12 ROPS with a 2011 M9540HDC24. This is a long story so I will not go into the rationale for potentially doing so. The 9540 in question has about 400 hours and appears to be in excellent condition. My 9960 has about 40 hours and is definitely in EXCELLENT...

Recently, a new shop opened up in my area owned by an acquaintance of mine. He sells Kioti tractors as well as other brands of mowers, etc. This is the first and only Kioti dealer in my area. I'm a long time old Ford and modern Kubota owner but am open to Kioti now that there is a nearby...

Still shopping for a BW mower and one alternative that I'm considering is a 12' BW so that I could use it with my L6060 if I sell my M9960 at some time in the future. I've seen the Woods BW 12, the Land Pride RC2512 and have a brochure for the Bush Hog 1812 but will not see one for a couple...

I own a 2015 M9960. Today, I was at my local Kubota dealer investigating bat wing mower options. While there, I noticed a split M9540 in the shop. As it turns out, the 9540 had been split to repair/replace the PTO brake. I inspected the damaged parts and learned that the failure was...

I'm shopping for my first bat wing mower. I plan to use it with a Kubota M9960, 90 PTO HP FWA ROPS tractor (do not use cab tractors due to propensity to drive beneath tree limbs). I mow only my own property, and the parcels are relatively flat to rolling with a couple of exceptions of steep...

So far I've been unsuccessful finding a hard rubber of poly edge for the V5060 snow plow on my Kubota RTV X1000C. Anyone know where I could find one? SDT

A close friend of mine is planning to buy his first new Kubota early in 2018, and has asked me for advise. He plans to operate a HD 6' rotary cutter, 6' tiller, 2 bottom plow, small three point mounted disc, as well as a FEL mounted (or, perhaps three point) fence post driver. Some of his...

Anyone know where one could find a poly or hard rubber cutting edge for a V5060 snow plow used on a RTV-X1100C? Kubota does not offer one for this plow. SDT

I'm finally getting around to replacing the Woods BB840X 7' mounted cutter that I have been using with my M9960 ROPS that I bought about 2 years ago. Ground is clean and most of the areas where I will use the BW are not steep but there are some areas where I can allow a BW to ride along a...

The two year warranty on my M9960 ROPS will expire in about 6 weeks. The tractor has less than 50 yours on it so is not broken in. I've noticed that the transmission howls upon starting under load, e. g., uphill, etc., until the tractor builds speed. It does so whether the start is a reversal...

I bought an L6060 in Jan 2016 for mowing duty with a Woods BB720X 6' cutter. This is a heavy cutter and I use it on steep ground with many trees. I am routinely turning sharply and reversing direction to mow around and close to trees. I'm very good doing so so rarely hit trees with the mower...

Recently, I took delivery of a V5060 snow plow for my RTV-X1100C, assembled and installed it. Looking for suggestions for mounting/dismounting the assembled plow to the RTV. I need to be able to do this unassisted, and have not figured out how as yet. Anyone have any suggestions? SDT

Yesterday, I bought a RTVX-1100C with worksite tires and 72" electric over hydraulic snow plow. Currently, I plow my nearly 1/4 mile asphalt driveway with my B1750HST and 6' back blade. The driveway is steep and the B1750 plows it well with chains but will plow going downhill only without...

Yesterday, the bolt attaching the telescoping stabilizer to the right lift arm on my L6060 sheared. The tractor has less than 50 hours on it. The BB720X is Woods middle duty series 6' cutter and weighs over 1,200 lbs. with rear chain shielding. I use it on steep ground. Kubota recommends rotary...

I am considering a B3350 to replace my 51 Ford 8N for medium duty 5' rotary cutter duty. The 3350 is small and light but I do not like the 3301/3901 tractors. I use the 5' cutter only for certain parcels that do not look good if mowed with one of my larger tractor mower combinations and the...

When I bought my L6060 I was aware that, being a hydrostat and a large one, it would be thirsty, and it is. Moreover, it appears to make little difference how heavily it is loaded as about 2,400 engine RPM is needed to maintain 540 PTO RPM. What king of fuel consumption are you other owners...

My dealer delivered my new L6060 ROPS tractor yesterday, and I spent New Year's evening reading the operator's manuals. The manual states to engage the front wheel drive "with the tractor stopped." Certainly, Kubota did not incorporate a mechanical dog clutch to engage the FWA??? I will be...

My dealer delivered my new L6060 ROPS today and hauled away my 2007 MF 533. I've never before traded a tractor but could not wait to get rid of my both of my Massey Fergusons (larger 2012, MF 2635 was replaced with a Kubota M9960 about two months ago) so I decided to do so in this case even...

I'm working on a deal with my local Kubota dealer for an L6060 ROPS (cannot use cab tractors for multiple reasons) CUT. My local dealer has priced an L6060 ROPS with R4 tires, LA1055 FEL, Kubota 60" (don't want a 72") 4 in 1 bucket, third function valve, single lever hydraulic manifold for both...

Soon I will be buying a large hydrostat CUT to replace my 44 PTO HP MF 533. The tractor will be used as my "first round" tractor to pull a heavy Woods BB720X 6' cutter. I spend a great deal of time cutting in my various irregular, some steep, parcels due to continual reversing to back beneath...

Why is the thread on this topic below closed? FWIW, the federales are driving multiple markets back to gasoline. Like most cube dwelling federales, they have no idea that they are doing but will no doubt attack the gasoline alternatives once they realize that such alternatives are becoming...

I've decided to replace my MF 2635/DL250 with a larger Kubota. I'm not one to trade cars/trucks/tractors, etc. Rather, I've always done better selling my item before/after buying a replacement. My 2635 is a 2012 with about 95 hours (more put on by the dealer than by me). It has the MF DL250 FEL...

I'm working with my local dealer about either an M7060HD12 or an M9960HD12 ROPS to replace a MF tractor that I bought two years ago that I have lost confidence with. My local dealer is only 4 miles away, is a good dealer and I trust their work but they are not known for the best prices around...

Today, I used my 2635/DL250 FEL with grapple bucket for the first time. I'm building a new 1000'+ driveway this summer and need to clear cedar trees from the roadway. Last fall I bought an Edge 66" grapple bucket knowing that this unit was designed for a skid steer and at nearly 800 Lbs. it...

I'm still considering a 4600 series open station tractor to replace my 2635 (with FEL) and (hopefully) 533, both of which are used primarily for mowing duty. I like some of the features of the 4600 series, especially the 6 speed synchronized transmission. I've read all of the available published...

I've been struggling with this for a couple of weeks. My local Kubota dealer has a 2012 non Tier IV cab L5740, while my local JD dealer has both open station and cab non Tier IV 4720s. Being an engineer, I've thoroughly digested the specs. The prices are competitive. I will not buy Tier IV...

I'm considering both new and used 4720s. Are there significant changes between the 2007 version and the 2012/2013 version? I have heard that the earlier versions were rated at lower PTO HP but have not heard if/when this change was made. SDT

I'm in the market for a 50 - 55 PTO HP tractor with hydrostatic transmission. I've shopped NH, MF and Kubota but there are no JD dealers in my area and the JD website is dismal. The Kubota M5740/M6060 is the closest that I've found to my needs but I'm uncomfortable with the 148 CI/2700 RPM...

Not good news, folks. Today, I took the 2635 and Woods BB840X 7' mower out to tackle one of my tougher mowing jobs. The tractor had about 21 hours on it when I started. I had previously used it only for a couple of less demanding mowing jobs on flat ground with no obstacles and much lighter...

I've recently learned that a forthcoming line of MF CUTs will be made by Mitsubishi rather than Iseki. Has anyone additional information regarding this development. In particular, is MF breaking with Iseki? SDT

Has anyone out there installed a rear wiper/washer kit to a New Holland T4050 Deluxe? The instructions with the kit are woefully inadequate with respect to hose routing for the rear washer nozzle. Frankly, there appears to be no way to route the hose as directed and as is necessary. Any help...

I worked the snot out of my 2635 the last 2 days. The owners manual says to operate at full load for the first 50 hours or so, so I used it to bush hog some heavy grass that had not been mowed yet this year. I used a Woods BB840X 7' cutter set as low to the ground as possible without leaving...

My local dealer recently received a 9960. I looked at it briefly yesterday but did not have time to ask about pricing and the dealer does not yet have literature. SDT

Though I held off nearly all summer, the incentives finally became too great to resist and I bought a 2635. I will use it mostly for mowing duty with occassional miscellaneous duty. I bought the Synchro-shuttle, independent PTO,a FEL since it was nearly free, HD bucket, 4 rear weights for the...

Does anyone know of a very good, low hour, FWA 563 with synchro shuttle transmission for sale in the midwest? I would be interested in buying the right 563. SDT

I'm considering buying a 2635 FWA primarily for use with a very heavy 6' rotary cutter in sometimes tough conditions and on steep ground. I will likely buy it with a FEL as I plan to sell my only other tractor currently equipped with a FEL. I've heard that the MF "free loader" program ended at...

I bought a new MF 533 in June of 2007. The tractor has been used only to operate a 6' rotary cutter (bush hog), and has been well maintained by an extraordinarily particular engineer/mechanic owner and never abused. Last fall, the left lift arm pin broke at the axle trumpet at a time when the...

I'm window shopping for an L5740 TLB open station with R4 tires and, maybe, an optional front blade. I would also want full F & R weight packages, 2 rear remotes, third function loader option and swinging drawbar. What kind of selling price should I expect in SE IN? SDT

Has anyone adjusted (shimmed) the bi-speed turn clutch in a Kubota B1750HST. Mine does not pull like it once did and I would like to adjust it. I do not have a manual for this tractor but know that it is adjusted by shimming the clutch fork actuation shaft. It appears that it can be done from...

Today, I bought a T4050 Supersteer, which will necessitate disposal of at least 3 or 4 of my (very good) vintage red and grey Fords sometime in the not so distant future. With the 4050, I bought an 820TL FEL as well as a front weight package (6 weights) to counter balance a 10 or 10 1/2 foot...

My new 533 was delivered Saturday. Seems to be everything that I expected. I already had a spare set of the old style front wheel weights for Ford and Ferguson front wheels and planned to use these on this tractor as it has the 4 bolt holes in the front rims for mounting them, and I will need...

I bought a new MF-533 last weekend but passed on the MF grill guard because the dealer priced it to me at $235. Apparently he must order it through the parts department as a spare part for the FEL package. The newer MF small utility tractors use a different front axle than the older ones like...

Hi, folks. I have been shopping for each of the above tractors but am having difficulty finding representative pricing. Has anyone out there bought one of these lately? My local dealer seems unwilling to talk bottom line and I will not buy until I can determine a basis for comparison. Thanks...

Lately, I have looking at new tractors including the MF 1560 compact and the MF-533. My dealer does not have either in stock so I have not been able to see and drive either but have devoured the brochures. I need to be able to pull a six foot bush hog through just about anything on sometimes...

I haven't been to the forum lately but am looking at new tractor models that I am not very familiar with and would appreciate the advice of owners and shoppers. I have been looking a several models including the Kubota K5740 and the MF 1560. The Kubota has lots of bells and whistles that I do...

I am considering buying a TN70 or TN75 with FWA to operate a 7 or, more likely 8, foot three-point cutter over varying terrain, some of which is quite steep. I am also considering the Kubota M6800 with FWA. Anyone have any helpful comments regarding these machines? Thanks, in advance. Dean

Hello, all. New registrant here with question about Bi-Speed steering clutch on B1750. Seems I may need to adjust mine as unit seems to slip more than it did when new. Tractor now has nearly 300 hours. Been a mechanic for many years but do not have a manuel for this tractor and don't know just...
