He changed the filters and hyd. full front loader works fine I would only guess it is hooked up correctly No backhoe could be 7275 I suppose it is around 30 hp , only putting info that was given to me , I am nowhere near where the tractor is. The feedback rod will be worth looking into -- thanks

My friend bought this tractor not long ago and went to use the 3 pt. hitch and it will only go up at full throttle with absoulutely no load . The front end loader works just fine . The tractor did just sit for awhile so he has no idea where to start looking , if any of you can give him an idea...

Had 2 hips replaced and a knee , the knee was by far the worst . I slept in a recliner for 3 months with the knee . I heard the new way they are doing it now isn't quite so invasive , time will tell on that one . All of my replacements after some time turned out way worth it .

The closet tractor dealer is 60 miles from me as John Deere closed down a couple years ago from my area. I didn't realize tractor supply did hyd. hoses . I found out that Napa did them so that is where I ended up getting it done.

I have owned several Kubota tractors and products over many years but very disappointed with Kubota and Messick service department as of late. I have a front mounted snow blower which is only 6 years old and they don't even list it for parts anymore. I tried to get help from a Messicks part...

My Kubota dealer doesn't want to trade tractors either as I tried to trade in my B2650 and the price they would give me for it was crazy low . I could easily sell it myself but I would still have to deal with the same dealer as there aren't any other Kubota dealers around where I live .

I find mowing 40 acres every week very strange and expensive . Also a little strange no more comments about all the questions that need answering .

Whatever brand you choose check out availability of parts . I didn't think I could get use to the kubota pedal either , now it is just second nature for me , no problems at all . I have a friend who bought a new tractor one of the brands your looking at and he has had more problems getting...

I changed both and used the shop vac , and it worked very well for me also .

Mine has both and I changed both of mine at 50 hrs. . Filters are cheap compared to the alternative . Did you buy some fluid as you may be just a little low now ?

I use the pipe method on both front end loader and rear blade and they work very well for my needs . Even with the pipe on it can pick up some gravel if the ground is still soft from wet snow etc., especially with the bucket . I have some paved areas but mostly gravel , about 600 ft. of gravel...

Been their and done that . My grandfather had horses back in the day. I can remember he would put me on the back of an old work horse for a ride when he would be plowing up ground . As I got older I would help him hay , all loose hay . He never did ever have a tractor it was only a family farm ...

You may also have have an algae problem in your tank which there are additives for that problem also . Algae will clog your filters over time . I am treating my tank now . I use use 5 gal. containers to get my fuel in and I first noticed it in the bottom of the containers . I washed my...

My dealer talked me into a light duty ( land pride ) 5 ft. brush hog for my 25hp 2650 kubota and I could cut grass with it fine but I always thought it was to much for the tractor as far as weight went. I sold it as I was that much disappointed with it on that tractor . I wouldn't have wanted to...

Thanks for all the replies , after talking with the dealer I decided to replace the 2 filters with new fluid . I am almost 80 yrs. old and will never have to do this again as the tractor is used less than 40 hrs. per year now . It just wasn't worth the chance of getting some contamination in the...

What maybe missing here is what will the tractor be worth after it is paid off . If you take really good care of it you could be ahead of this as far as costs go . Kubota tractors are very good at keeping their value . I know first hand as I have sold a couple of them over the years . I wish I...

I take care of 600 ft. gravel driveway with a Kubota B2650 ( 25hp ) with no problems both summer and winter . I take care of road maintenance during the spring before gravel hardens up with just a back blade and it works just fine . A snow blower takes care of snow in the winter ( lots of snow )...

Engineering has much to be desired these days for sure , I have to take off a skid plate on my Honda CRV to get the oil filter off and that is more than a pita with the many cheap adapters they use , I can see this as about impossible after a couple of years just to get the plate off with all...

I have had both and for me the bush hog brand wins for me . If they are anything like they were built years ago you can't go wrong with bush hog .

You will see allot of the good , bad and ugly when you first take a look and test drive them . Were they stored inside or outside , tires on the Kubota . Looks can sometimes be deceiving but it can also give you an idea how they were taken care of . I have a 17 year old M5700 kubota that I...

Thanks

Thanks for the reply on the M , I was afraid of that . I will have to pick up some fluid as the gallon I have may not be enough .

There are some quality products such as rp-342 , fluid film , woolwax , etc, as they actually attack any rust and will not evaporate . Rp-342 is a great product and leaves a waxy dry surface .You can research these products on you tube , good luck . One thing to remember about new mower decks of...

I did that on my B2650 and it worked great but I am dealing with allot more fluid and it won't be as quick .

It's time to change hyd. filters on my Kubota M5700 as I usually just dump it all out when I do this but Kubota hyd. fluid is so expensive now I will just change the filters after 300 hrs. as the manual suggests . A full hyd. change is at 600 hrs. My filters are fairly low so I was wondering...

I use power service in the white bottle also but it and most other products listed here do nothing to prevent algae or slime build up . I buy my fuel using 2 - 5 gal. containers and over several years of use I could see a mold type substance in the bottom on my containers . I ended up washing...

You guys have given Lots of great information on this issue . I was new to generators a few years ago and overloaded my generator and ended having to replace a well pump and oil burner motor as they were trying to keep going without the proper current and didn't like it very well . Costly error...

I rarely have had problems with chain saws either with ethonol fuel and no additives as 2 cycle gas has oil added and that seems to have helped also . I had an old chainsaw that sat well over 2 years and no additives other than oil in the gas and it started up with no problem . Yes I did dump...

I live in Maine and have no idea who these people are or where they were headed for their training . It just makes one wonder how much else is going on in this country that some of us have no idea about . ( SCARY )

Look up Pri-g additive it has some great reviews , I just bought some some pri-d for my tractor as it helps with algae etc. also . pri-g is for gas engines and pri-d is for diesel .

Looks like you are well on your way for some good times , just be careful in the process .

On my Exmark zero turn mower blades I just use a flat file with the blade in a bench vise . Like you I don't hit rocks etc. so the blades stay sharp for some time . The good thing about using a file you don't overheat the steel and you don't take off to much steel so they stay well balanced . I...

I disagree with your thoughts on wet conditions . I have had several tractors over the years with both r1 and r4 tires . I live in Maine where we have lots of snow and wet conditions . I have r4 tires on both tractors I now own and find them very adequate , and I don't use chains in winter while...

I had one a few years ago and they are a very good machine . I only had the tiller for mine and it did a fine job , other than that I can't add to much . I don't remember the model number but it was one size smaller than the biggest . The one I had a differential lock and that was a very nice...

I have a farm max 5ft. gear tiller and it did lock up once on me but the soil was wet and heavy so I blamed it on that . Be interesting to find if others can relate to this . I am very careful to adjust my slip clutch when it hasn't been used for awhile to protect my tractor and my tiller ...

I have and like both . I like the cab in the winter for sure . My 2650 will go in my garage after I made a few changes to the top door trim and header , but could still use same door . I like the open station in the summer and I mow over 50 acres of field during the summer once and a few...

If you want parts availability in distant future or even at this time it is hard to beat the Kubota or John Deere . Some of the other brands without mentioning names can be crap shoot . Have a friend who waited weeks for parts . You get what you pay for in most cases . I had a mishap with my...

Chicken manure should be a year old as it is very hot for plants as they will burn so to speak . Potatoes need to be spread out to dry before storing so they won't rot . They do not need to cure to eat .

At 79 I comply with all of the above . Two tractors , zero turn and an old toro wheel horse for odd jobs . Isn't it fun

You will need to keep a fair amount of soil up around plants as they grow which is called hilling . If you don't the potatoes will be to close to the surface when growing and you will have green areas where they are close to the surface . As mentioned the tops will die off when they stop growing...

I have and use all 3 plus a 6 ft. spring tooth harrow , the only time I use the plow is when I am going to have a new garden plot on sod ground . I agree with the previous post , no way are you going to drag a heavy disc with the 2601 . I have a 6ft. light duty disc and that does work with my...

I agree totally

With the US power grid system not being kept up to date in many cases or foreign cyber attacks a possibility anything can happen . My main concern is heat here in northern Maine along with food etc. . I have 2 generators and fuel on hand but also a wood stove and wood in case of a long power...

I agree with the dozer or excavator suggestion . I have a B series and a m 5700 kubota and the M would have a hard time doing what you need done . I have a disc and they are not some magic bullet on the type of ground you are talking about . They will ride up over rocks and roots if there is any...

I have been thinking of selling my 2 tractors an M5700 open station and B2650 with a cab. I can get both in my garage . I am thinking of another size tractor the size of the M5700 with a cab to replace the other two so I only have 1 tractor to maintain . I am 78 and need a cab up here in Maine...

Was out snow blowing with front blower and put pto lever in off position , blower stopped , got off seat and tractor stopped and wouldn't restart when i got back on seat . I had to play with the pto lever several times to get so it would start up again . Is there a safety switch on both the pto...

I am disappointed in this blower and the way it was put together , and who ever designed it surely has never had to work on it . Set screws falling out do to no lock tight on them . A bolt came out where the front drive shaft hooks to the blower and the shaft was spinning and banging around...

Anyone else burning coal ? Burned wood for over 30 years and switched to coal 4 years ago and love it . I put in a coal boiler which feeds rice coal much like a pellet stove with a hopper . No more cutting and splitting wood etc. etc . etc. . Takes me about 10 minutes per day in the morning and...

Pros , 1. Seems to be very well built 2. Excellent welds etc. 3. Nice people at E. A. to do business with Cons , 1. No paper work at all for the cutter ,there was for the pto shaft , not a problem for me as i have used rotaty cutters in the past . There was no grease in any of the...

Last winter I somehow broke the rear windshield wiper arm on the B2650 cab . Can you get one that will fit at a local auto supply store ? The wiper motor is fine .

There are 3 videos on you tube about changing bearings on the main shaft , the roller , and idler arm for the Woodmax flail mower . The information is very interesting for anyone who has never done this before and could be relevant for most any bearing replacement I suppose . He goes by...

I am thinking about buying a flail mower , but I would like one I could use on both my Kubota tractors , ( M5700 and B2650 ) 19 pto HP and 54 pto HP. respectively . I would like the 6ft. on my lawn area to just mow grass with the 2650 and use it to mow fields with the 5700 . I have a...

We have had over 10 ft. of snow this year and this is a picture of the last 20 plus inches we just had a few days ago . The B2650 does a very good job of taking care of it with the blower and rear blade . I have over 500 ft. of drive , plus a couple parking areas . If I didn't have a larger...

Changed oil and filter and was checking fan belts etc. and noticed a v cut in the lower coolant hose which was quite deep and caused by the belt as it would chatter a bit at idle speed and hit the hose . The belt was tight but the hose set up right by the oil filter is a lousy one on the cab...

I was pleasantly surprised to find out the 2650 would pull the old disc harrow with ease . Thought I would post this so if anyone else had any doubts you can rest assured it can do the job just fine .

I have been using battery's from Walmart for the past several years for lawn mower and 4 wheelers and having very poor luck with them . I take them out every winter, store them in a warm area , not on a cement floor, charge them with a trickle charger every month or so and come summer their...

I have used this stuff year round in my tractors for years and never had a cold start issue here in northern Maine . This last bottle I used really got my attention though . As I was pouring a small amount in a 5 gal. container a good size glob of jelly like substance came out of the ps...

I had to go out in 0 degree weather this morning to take care of 6 inches of new snow . The tractor is in a heated area so starting was no problem . I noticed when I drove it outside the temp. indicator wouldn't even stay at the 1 bar level even while working the tractor . I read on this forum...

I have 2005 , M5700 kubota with about 500 hrs. on the meter . I'm not sure if the hr. meter is time based or rpm based . I hardly ever run it at full pto speed .The book states to adjust valves at 600 hrs. so my question is do you think it should be done now or just wait for 600 hrs. I don't...

This a picture of the hyd. fluid that came out of hst filter after the first 50 hours of service , and an open view of the filter element . I could see a very few very tiny specks of metal which was expected . I never dreamed the oil from filter would be this dirty though . The fluid on the dip...

I am quite sure that oil first passes through the center of the filter and then goes through the element to it's destination, is that correct ? The reason I ask is that there were a couple specks of metal ( very very tiny ) when I dumped the oil that was left in the filter into a clean...

My dealer is 50 miles away so when I got the tractor I bought hyd. fluid , oil , and filters for the 50 hr. service . I only bought an oil filter ( HH160 ) and one hyd. filter ( HH660 ) as that is what they said I needed . I just looked in the manual and find out there is another hyd. suction...

First off I know nothing about hydraulics . In my manual for the 2650 ( important ) do not connect attachments through hyd. motor useing ports c an d as it can cause damage to seals do to regen mode on port d etc.. I use a and b for up and down and c and d for rotation ( per Dealer ) . If not...

I have a B2650 with factory hyd. for loader or snow blower etc. . I just mounted new kubota blower ( B2782B ) on front and attached lines like the manual suggested . I have up and down just fine but the hyd. chute will only turn one way . I tried switching the lines for the chute and it would...

Trying to figure out how to slide the front pto shield cover to grease front u joint etc. . On my bush hog you turn 4 items and then it releases , no such luck on this thing . I'm ready to cut it off . I mounted blower and put up in the air and was able to grease that front u joint just fine...

I was at the kubota dealers a couple days back to pick up some hyd. fluid and filters . The person at the counter mentioned that kubota has sent them a couple of items to replace on B2650's , one I believe had to do with a battery cable and the other was to replace something to prevent a hyd...

I have loaded rear tires and was wondering if you guys who have loaded rear tires run the same air pressure . The salesman mentioned I could run much lower pressure with loaded tires . I wasn't sure if he was correct in saying that or not , or just trying to make a sale . The reason for less...

Is there anyway to get the shield off in front of the gear box of the land pride rcr 1860 rotary cutter ? I know there is an inspection door etc. but it is still hard to work on the slip clutch to see what you are doing etc. . Thanks, HEC

I now have my first tractor with an a/c unit and not sure of the best way to clean the condensor . I have thought of useing a filter of some type in front of the screen filter to catch the finer material and keep a close eye on it so it doesn't fill up and block any air flow .It would work...

I just bought a new land pride 5 ft. R.C. and tried to mow with it today and it vibrates badly on the B2650 , not just when you start up but costantly like it is out of balance . I have used and old bush hog for the past 25 yrs. so I am use to rotary cutters . I checked the blades to make sure...

I just bought a 2650 with r4 tires and cab can anyone tell me the exact height as it hasn't been delivered yet , they are waiting for the snow blower and bush hog to come in . I just measured the height of my garage door and the best I can get is 84 1/2 inches . The dealer told me it was around...

I keep my tractor in the garage which is about 60 degees at all times from the wood furnace . The temp. was about 5 above and windy when I took the tractor outside so I let it warm up for about 5 more min. before heading to the wood pile to bring in some already cut and dry wood.It took me about...

I have one garden plot 30 ft by 60ft. that is full of rocks, usually fist size and smaller.I live in an area where we have a deep frost so they just keep coming up every year.I keep picking them up by hand but this sure is a slow way of doing things.I use a 2 wheel rototiller on this plot for...

I had to buy some 1/8 in. 6011 arc welding rod today as I haven't bought any in years to finish up a project. I couldn't believe how much it cost , $11.00 for 5 pounds, is this what this rod now cost or did get taken?

Does anyone out there have a driveway groomer? I saw one advertised , they look to simple to be very effective but the reviews are great and they cost under $400.If any of you have one I would like your opinion and would like some pictures as the one I saw had no pictures of the underside of...

There seems to be a fair amount of marvel mystery oil being sold in my area and when I ask people why they use it I get many different answers such as for lubricating fuel pumps and injector pumps etc. etc. and some use it for gas engines ,some for diesel engines.My question is do any of you use...

I have a toro wheel horse garden tractor with a hydro. transmission and the manual states to use a 10w 30 oil for the transmission.I was planning on useing a synthetic oil if that isn't a problem.You would think they would want a hydraulic fluid instead of reg. motor oil but it doesn't state...

Just bought some prem. hyd. fluid from Canada and this is what it said on the container[Performance similar to udt with the addition of super low temp. properties][A winter grade universal type tractor fluid]I am quite sure I have seen it posted on this site that pudt was a syn. fluid but I...

I am retired now and the garden keeps getting larger so I have decided to get a tiller for my M5700.I need a 6 footer to cover the tire tracks unless there is an offset type.I have been looking at the ccm and king kutter on the net thus far.I won't be tilling hard ground as I have a 3 bottom...

snow, rain, freezing rain, with R- 4\'s My previous tractor , an M5400 had R1 tires and other than a few cuts etc. no problems in snow or woods or fields.I traded to an M5700 so I could get creeper gears but other than that it is basically the same tractor except I now have R4 tires.I was very...

I was in Canada and noticed kubota premium udt,I asked the sales clerk if it was syn. , I don't think he really knew if it was or not but said no. I didn't notice anything on the pail to indicate either way but I didn't have much time to look either.

I have about 50 acres of field I mow every year ,and most years I will run over at least 1 bees nest but have never been stung.I always leave my bucket on the fel and it is always painted black.I keep it high enough so it is above the hood of the tractor. When I run over a nest the bees will...

I noticed wal mart has rotella udt rated for kubota's for about $39.00 for the 5 gal. pail,just wondering how much the kubota udt is and if it is any better than rotella.

I have a back blade and I have never used one before.The three point hitch I take it was designed to pull is there any issues with pushing on the three point hitch that one should be aware of as I had planned on using it for both forward for some applications and in reverse for others. Thanks, Herb

I would like to thank everyone for all the questions you have answered for me ,it was a great help.I traded my M5400 8 by 4 std. shuttle shift trans. for the hyd. shuttle shift with creeper gears which makes it 16 by 16.I needed the slower speeds in order to run the snow blower on the back.The...

Can you set the cruise control with the load match going in reverse also.The reason I asked this question is I am going to be using a snow blower on the rear and it would very difficult to keep ones foot on the reverse peddle and turn around to watch the blower at the same time.I didn't ask the...

If so how do like your tractor as I can't make up my mind on a 4520 or the 5225.I would want the 12/12 power reverser trans. on which ever one I choose.I did notice the 5225 does have a creeper gear opt. . I will be using a rear mounted snow blower and we get some heavy snow where I live.Anyone...

I have been looking at the 4520 with a power reverser transmission.Just wondering how many of you have this transmission and how you like it,and if anyone has had any problems with it. Thanks

I just got a quote of $28000 out the door price including 5 per cent sales tax for the 4520 with loader, hvy. duty bucket,r4 tires and a weight box.Is this to high or not, and are there any issues with the 4520 I should know about?I have been looking at the Kubota 5030 also and really not sure...

I am looking at the gl 4630 and 5030 with a cab and would like to be able to put it in my garage which has a 7ft high overhead door.I was wondering if any of you have done this with the R4 tires.with the ag tires the spec sheet has the 4630 at 87",and 5030 at 89.4".

I went to look at tractors and they didn't have a gst tractor I could try out.The kubota rep. was there and said I should probably go with a gst as I do some plowing .I only talked with him for a couple minutes as he was quite busy.I still don't understand all there is to the gst trans. except...

I am going to look at the Grand L 5030 soon so I would like to know in advance what would be a good price on the tractor with a loader and creeper gears. Thanks, Herb

Hello to Everyone, I am a new member and own a bcs 830 walk behind tractor , 9 hp and would like any info you could give me on a snow blower attachment for it , good or bad. I know what is available from the bcs dealers I just don't know how good they are, and how rugged they might be as I have...
