    M5 steering noise vibration

    Funny you mentioned this, I was leaving the shop with the batwing. Driving on the gravel drive the front end started this shaking thing. I thought it was some sort of resonance between the road, bar lugs & my tire psi & speed. It stopped after a few seconds & haven't noticed it again... This...

    Kubota M5-111 Supply Pump problems

    I feel for you... That's not what you need going into summer months. I have the service manuals which I got in 2018, I assume they'd be the same. if that can help you message me. Steve

    Today, would you buy an EV vehicle.

    I don't see the purpose in an EV. If gas prices don't come down soon, the last worry I'll have is whether or not I have an EV! I'll be more concerned with food & protecting my livestock. Time to go back to horses for travel when needed. otherwise learn to walk again. I hope all these worldly...

    Trimble GPS control systems

    Does anyone have any experience with these Trimble systems that assist on dig on grade? How accurate are they? How easy do they work with experienced operators? How much do they run? Anything anyone can say regarding them I'd appreciate. Steve

    200 acre property, Considering a M-5 111

    I just went with a Kubota/Landpride 12ft. I had one spindle tranny bearing go out, but..... I tried to mow a t-post with so not really their fault. What does tick me off is bush hogging & the batwing never can pull up the grass that my tires run over, so the pasture has strips of long grass...

    Kubota's SVL series Hydraulic Cooler

    My 97 is brand new so i dunno about running hot, if anything, I'd say it runs cold. I have to really work in order to keep the temp up. Rusty, yeah that was the idea this year was for land clearing for survey & friends who cruise the timber. However, the drum mulcher is 3 mos. backordered &...

    Kubota's SVL series Hydraulic Cooler

    I've got an SVL97-2 & need a hydro cooler. I've been looking at all the after market coolers & like Loftness' cooler except it adds about 12" of height to the machine & the added weight makes it impossible to lift the cab to work on it. Does anyone have Kubota's hydro cooler installed? Any...

    Are we in the USA really this far behind?

    I watched your video. All I can say is that you can only charge so much for SCUT whether your costs are constricted to emissions or allowed for new innovations depends on where you live. India, Indonesia & China aren't at all worried about tractor emissions, as a result they get the cool new...

    Moisture in the pasture

    If anyone has a good way to handle this please share... The pasture is about 70acres in total, a little less than half is a gentle slope that can be still be cut laterally to the slope but enough of a slope for watershed to collect at the bottom half. The problem is the bottom half. Even though...

    M5 series clutch usage

    I have an M5-111 with the 12speed trans & the optional creep gear. My dealer says I'm SUPPOSED to select my range then gear after which I can engage the clutch & then select F or R for the direction. The problem is in the real world tractors are used so much more than in the pasture or fields...

    Having a blast with our new M62

    I was thinking vertical exhaust but that would require cutting the side panel or equiv..... shooting the exhaust in between the front tire & the FEL is a tight fit but it looks like the best option available. Wormwood

    Having a blast with our new M62

    Well, I still don't believe what found but the hydraulic radiator was clogged again. This is only after ~15 hrs. of use. Here's the problem I see with a crankshaft driven fan & your operating rpm 2500+, you have a good suction through the front. Additionally you have the FEL in front of the...

    M62 TLB wheel spacers

    I have 2" spacers on my M62, night & day difference on stability. Adding fluid in the tires, half full is good & it really can stick to the ground on a hill so long as you don't lift the bucket. Drop the backhoe & put on a batwing & it oddly sticks to the hillside. The only thing I can conclude...

    Marking high & lows while mowing/brushcutting

    Is there any product that you can attach to a tractor to mark places in a field or yard? I'm using a marker paint extension wand to mark places I need to fill in with dirt or scrap off the top as I run over them with the tractor. I was thinking of something attached behind left or right rear...

    Any one heard of the new M62 coming out?

    Hey Matt, I was looking at all the attachments & implements, regarding your grapple who is the mfg. Also did Kubota ever offer one for your tractor? I'm curious about a grapple on the M62 since I installed the thumb on the backhoe, it's got me thinking... I need a sprayer first, it's about to...

    Any one heard of the new M62 coming out?

    here you go... this is the new M series M5-111, nice tractor, but it's the 12' winged bushhog that's got my interest. :) Since my daughter loves driving these things, I'm sure I can snap some more shots soon. Heh, she'd be really upset if she realized I never take my eyes off her win she at...

    Any one heard of the new M62 coming out?

    Yeah, sorry. After I reread it, I realized my reply sorta missed the target altogether.... The L6060 shares a bunch of components like the front axle looks the same, rear axle as well. I wouldn't think, with all the unique features like the cab, a mid pto, an HO alternator and ac compressor...

    Tier III & IV vertical exhaust conversion

    This is related to all newer tractor that meet tier III or Tier IV emissions. I can accept the new emissions and try to find warm fuzzy feeling I'm doing my part for the environment, however, for the life of me I can not understand why they have to direct the exhaust at the ground? A tractor in...

    Any one heard of the new M62 coming out?

    Piston, I picked up my M62 today but I'd like to hear from anyone else with an M62. I only know of one other local guy with an M62 & he's loves his...This 14ft. backhoe is deceiving how big it really is. Kubota's got a good approach with all the emissions systems. They give the customer some...

    Need some guidance

    I got a Yard Machine walk behind tiller & would like to put a 18"-24" grading blade on it. I've been wrestling whether it would be better up front or in back. Also if anyone knows of a conversion kit or someone that's gone down this road, I appreciate a point in the right direction. Lastly...
