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...

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...

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...
