    Newbie mini ex questions, and Kubota KX vs U series?

    We've got about 3 acres of billy goat country (undulating and frequently steep). My list of things which I need to get an excavator in for keeps growing and growing, to the point where I'm now thinking I might be better of just buying one, even if I end up selling it on again in a few years...

    New hydraulic top link won't clear the lift arms on my B-series

    I recently purchased a hydraulic top link for my Kubota B2301 and when I connect it all up the hydraulic hose fittings won't clear the lift arms of the 3-point hitch. I.e. when you raise the lift arms they collide with the outer edge of the 90 degree elbow: Any suggestions? Is there a way to...

    How difficult to install factory Kubota rear remote kit?

    Hi folks. I've got a fairly new Kubota B2301 and I've just purchased the factory rear remote control valve kit: I'm new to tractor ownership, but I'm doing my own basic servicing (oil + filter changes etc) as I've done this plenty with cars / motorbikes over the years. I've never done...

    How much damage am I likely to have done to my new tractor?

    Determined to make it last a lifetime, I've been religiously cleaning, greasing, servicing and maintaining my new Kubota B2301 since I bought it earlier this year. I've been warned that you never want to "stop-dead" the PTO during operation, hence why rotary-tillers and such have shear...

    Price of rear remotes and TnT for Kubota B-series

    Hi folks I'm new to tractor ownership so I wanted to make sure this all seems A-OK to you before I go any further. Basically I purchased a Kubota B2301 new 6 months ago, and I want to add hydraulic top and side links (TnT) so I can use my box blade more effectively. I already have a FEL and a...

    Current Kubota B-series - issues with rear remote leak downs?

    Hi folks. I bought a new Kubota B2301 6 months ago. I've currently got it fitted with a third function kit and 4-in-1 bucket. I'm now thinking I'd really like to get hydraulic top and side links fitted (mainly for box blade use), however I've seen a few threads talking about some major issues...

    New tractor - preventing rust in a coastal environment

    Hi folks. So I've recently bought my first tractor Kubota B2301 and I want it to last. I live not far from the coast, and I know I need to keep it in an air-tight shed if I want to avoid rust. Thing is, such a shed is still a couple of years away, and for now the tractor will have to live under...

    Just got my first tractor. Tips for mowing steep slopes?

    So I finally took delivery of my Kubota B2301 with underbelly mower. I've had a go at mowing our 2 acres of pasture, half of which is pretty steep (20-25 degrees). I mowed straight up and down the slope as advised, following the manual's advice to back up the slopes rather than drive head first...

    Best CUT attachment for this kind of earthmoving?

    I've got my first ever tractor arriving soon! (Kubota B2301). I've got a FEL and 4 in 1 bucket coming with it, as well as a rotary hoe. No other attachments as yet. I know FELs aren't bulldozers, and I've read the warnings about not abusing your FEL when earthmoving in this thread. I'm...

    Will this work for removing rocks from soil prior to tilling?

    Hey all. I've been reading this thread from 2015 and I can see I need to get something to help pull out the rocks from my soil before I pass my new tiller over it. Is this the right tool for the job? https://hayesproducts.com.au/product/five-tine-tractor-ripper-1436/

    Compact with 150 hours on it, never been serviced. Avoid?

    Hi guys, I'm in the market for a sub-compact or compact like the Kubota BX / B series. I'm looking around at the second-hand tractor market locally, and I've come across this 3 year old B2301 with 150 hours on it. It's never had a loader attached to it, just been used for mowing and plowing...

    Newbie here. Which tyres do I want for my new SCUT (Kubota BX1880)?

    Hi all. Tractor newb here. This will be my first tractor, buying it primarily for mowing our hilly 3 acre property. It's mostly sheep paddock that I want to mow, to help control some of the weeds before they go to seed. About half this paddock is quite steep (20-25 degrees...have checked this...

    Time to mow an acre. Zero-turn vs Tractor

    Got a bit of a newbie question for y'all. We've got 3 acres of land to look after. I keep hearing that zero-turn mowers will mow an area faster than other types of mowers. Why is this? Is it just that zero turns are faster where you have a lot of obstacles to manoeuvre around? Or are they...
