On the L2501 with the transmission driven PTO. I was wondering if you can hook up a static load as in a 3pt generator and engage it and leave or do you have to block up the rear tires and have them spin while it's turning the generator?

I'm wondering if it will handle it as in lift it. The Kubota is a GL 3540 with loader and unloaded industrial tires. Gear transmission. 29.5 PTO hp. 2650 lbs of lift 24 inches behind the pins. Woods 720 BB cutter is 6 feet and 1200 pounds. Woods recommends 30 HP as minimum. Mowing will be...

I'm thinking about a B series Kubota. One of my considerations would be a PTO generator. I first thought a gear trans would be better as it would be less inclined to overheat with hours of continuous usage. But looking at the B 2601 it appears that the hydro oil is cooled in front of the...

Its a very odd program. Even Barlows seems confused by it. It is a graduated discount from Kubota on the entire range of tractors. When you mention it to Kubota dealers they act like they have never heard of it. Here is a picture of last years flyer I got. I got two flyers for years and used one...

Been looking in the mail for mine and usually it comes right around the 20th of April. Been getting it for years. So this year I'm looking for it and wouldn't you know it it's not come yet. Do they still do that or is it a program that has been discontinued?

I notice it's engine is direct injection instead of the usual indirect injection. Made me wonder if it is made in another country like Thailand. Anyone look and see where the engine is made? With the DT (gear) tractor you still have to clutch to shift the shuttle forward/reverse?

Looking at a HX 10 or a Bushhog 3210 for a Kubota 7040. I would use either simi mount. Any owner reviews or recent prices for a HX10 would be appreciated, thanks!:D

My mom broke her feedback rod on her B3030 so I replaced it but its broke now also. I think I didn't have it adjusted the right length....duh. So I have one more feedback rod to try out. If anyone could tell me or better yet post a picture of their feedback rod on the 3 pt hitch I would be very...

If someone could check their manual and see what the ground speed is for the B2320DT (gear) Kubota tractor I would be grateful. I would love to know the speed in low gear in low range at the rated PTO speed of 2800 RPM. I think they have that in the manual. Also would like to know if when you...

I was killing time on the Kubota webpage specing out tractors(dangerous I know..) and noticed the economy PTO feature on the M series and specifically the M9960. In economy mode the RPMs are just 1519 you get the full 540 RPMs out the pto shaft to the brush cutter. Cool. However I've read that...

I'm considering a BX2370 as a garden tractor/tiller only. Wasn't going to use it for nothing but tilling and riding around the farm on. I'm disabled and thought it would make a nice outfit to slowly ride along my trails. I was planning on using the cruise control on it. Starting to think about...

Everyone says to break in a engine before switching over to a synthetic oil but nobody ever gives the hours they consider to be the break-in. So gimme your opinion on what you would consider to be the break-in hours needed on a Kubota 3 cylinder engine before you first change to a synthetic oil...

I've always gone back and forth on synthetic fluids. I've never been dissapointed in synthetics but have always doubted they were worth the extra coin. Well I change out my Kubota M7040 yesterday from whatever the dealer put in it to Super UDT2. That is supposed to be a full synthetic...

Got my M7040 from Barlows in the fall of 2012. I thought it had none of the eviromental stuff on the engine. I've since found out that some of the late M7040 models might have had a EGR engine installed in them. Anyone out there can tell me if this engine in the pictures has a EGR valve or is...

Onced again Kubota is saying one thing in their manuals and selling something else. On their website and in my manual says use GL-4 gear lube for the front axle case and differential on my M7040 but when I was at my dealer getting the fluids for its first change the Kubota gear lube said GL-5 on...

Or get a Scag with a Kubota engine......like this.......

On my M7040 the books says it holds 11.6 quarts or just about a pint less than 3 galllons. Ok. Well was doing the 35 hour oil change on my new M7040 and went to fill it up with 3 gallons of Kubota 15W40 oil. I had drained the used oil into buckets, changed the filter too. Tractor was maybe a...

Looking at the narrow B2320 for specialty reasons but wanted a clarification of the "live continuous PTO" on the gear B series. I know you hated the gear system but I wanted to know if they even have a on/off pto lever/button? In otherwords is there any way to drive foward and not have the PTO...

Can't seem to find this anywhere online. If someone has a book they can look it for me please?:D I would like to know the ground speed of the B2320 GEAR tractor at pto speed in 1st gear in low range. As in how slow can it go while tilling. Thanks!

Just took delivery of this L3540 GST with one hour on the meter. I looked at the 60 series but for less money decided to go with the proven engine. This puppy is going to do some mowing of some tight trails with a Land Pride 1860 cutter.

Seems like anytime I mention this model the dealer clams up. What is the rumors out there about the new Kubota B3350??:confused:

I had them price a Kubota that is in the upper teens. Told them it was a cash buy with no financing. But I wondered if they still had some room to bargain as they might still give out a trading price on their first pricing in case the customer then threw a curveball with a trade. So does Barlow...

I was looking at Kubota's Canadian web site and saw the new m9960 has as a option a 540/540E pto. I assume they will offer this in the USA? Also what are the drawbacks to the tier4 engines? I kinda like the idea of better fuel economy and with all that muffler they might be more quiet. Anyone...

I have a Kubota L5040 and a JD mx6 cutter. I usually engage the mower at about 1500 to 1600 RPM. It lugs the engine down to about 800 RPM then revs back up. Also do any of you "feather" your PTO engagement? Like just touch it to get the blades turning then really engage it?

Just check the Kubota website and used the "build my Kubota". The Kubota I've been building, a b2320HSDN had been coming to 14,000 earlier today. Tonight its gone up to 14,770. Kubota hasn't got the word that their isn't any inflation I guess...:D Looks like increases all across the board. The...

Talking about that little orange lever on the B2320 B2620 and B2920 HSD. Does it pretty well set whatever speed your going or does it vary by how the rachet slips in the whatever that holds the pedal down? As soon as you hit the brake the cruise control is disabled right? I've read one account...

Can anyone tell me or give me the timeline on when Kubota started to put the exaust gas recirculation on the M8540? They have the particle filter on the new cab models in addition to the EGR. I would guess they are going to put the particle filter on the open station models????

How are they going to be marketed? Are they going to be re branded with a "name" or are youi going to market them under your own name? I would market them under DFAM brand. I just hate the idea of spending a few hunderd dollars for a old name that is "legendary" but not in production for years...

Ok my dad is a older man and I'm disabled and can't get up in the seat (yet) to check out the controls. He says there is a mark on the tach that shows where the economy pto should run but that it doesn't have it, as in he can't find out how to make it use the economy PTO. Its a 2 year old...

I'm looking at a B2320 narrow in the hydrostatic drive. Its 37 inches wide. The B2320 standard says it's 45.1 inches wide at the minimum tread. However I think that is with R4 industrial tires. I think the AG tires on a starndard B2320 mine bring the width down to about 43 inches from what I can...

I'm looking at the Kubota 2320 HSDN.......thats the narrow one with hydrostatic transmission.Only been out two years. Interestingly enough on the Kubota build it section of their web site its not listed at having cruise control, however the standard hydros ,2329 2629 and the 2920 all have it...

to control the speed? My mom's B3030 does. You just push it foward and it goes or pull it back and it stops. No need for much pedal work. I'm disabled and looking at a used 7510 that is quite a drive away. Wanted to find this out before I spent the time and ga$ to go look at it. Oh its...

Ok I'm disabled and its not all that easy for me to take off the side panel (around the loader) on my Kubota L5040 to get to the fill plug. However after I've drained the oil and removed the oil filter there is a nice hole there where it would be much easier for me to fill the crankcase with a...

nephew in law wants a plot to bowhunt here in southern KY. What would be the best thing to plant? I have the equipment to put in anything. Turnips? Alfalfa?

I guess this should be in the oil and lubricants section but here I post it. Recently got a new car and saw they reccomend 0w 20 oil for better mileage. I've heard of them going with light oil to make the mileage requirments. My question is on a diesel engine, such as my L5040 kubota, how much...

I noticed today when the light is just right there is a slight "ruffle" to the steel skirt on the support under the "KUBOTA" name on the frame of my Kubota LA854 loader. Its where the frame has been bent down during fabrication I think, but thought I would ask if anyone out there has seen this...

I have some 10 20 20 and I was going to spread some on some alfalfa. Will the nitrogen help it any even though it gets its on nitrogen from its roots? It won't hurt the alfalfa will it?

Been reading the post by our fellow members to the north and wondered if the Kubotas in Canada have the same enviromental do dads on the engines as we here in the USA have? So do your M series Kubotas have the Exaust Gas Recirculation engines on them? How about the GL 5740? Are all your engines...

Ok when I got my L5040 I told the dealer to put the tires as wide as possible. He turned the front tires out. Later I read that your not to do that as it might hurt the bearings and puts more wear on your front end under heavy loader work. Well I've not done much heavy loader work yet on it but...

Stopped by the dealer today and ask him to price out a Kubota 8540 with the open station (no cab) and the 12x12 hydro shift transmission. Its listed on the Kubota web site and in my kubota catalogs. He declaired they only make the 8540 in the open station with the 8x8 transmissioin. He doubled...

So many of the posters here put in food plots I think it would be a popular forum. We could talk what equipment to put in what seeds and what to do about fertilizer. I think it would be a hit. Lets get some hands on if you think a food plot forum would be a nice addition to the TBN boards!

I know there is some fudging on the horsepower/pto but this takes the cake. I was looking at a cute M9540 Low profile tractor at my dealer today and came home and checked out the specs on the Kubota website. It says it has PTO power of 84 horses at rated speed of 2600 RPM. But wait! To get 540...

When I got my Kubota L5040 last year the Yen was about at 87 per the dollar. Now the dollar only buys 76 Yen. That is quite a drop in the dollar value. Way over 10%. Any dealers out there have a heads on up Kubota (and Deere/Yanmar) price increases? Was there that big of margin that they can...

12 foot batwing mower rated for only 35 PTO horsepower??? Wow! Someone on here will buy one and I want a review. Anyone seen one yet? They appear to be made lightweigt in the bladepans and shaft/gearboxes to be able to be run with low HP tractors. A interesting mower indeed.:thumbsup:

Ok I have a patch of bi colored lespedeza that I planted ten years ago for the quail. Its about 50 yard long and ten feet wide. Its never been mowed since the planting, ten years ago. Trees have grown up in there and they don't need to be there. Almost all are sumacs. There is a walnut that will...

Had to dig a grave with my Kubota L5040 and bury my beloved Brittany Spaniel today. 16 years of faithful frendship. He used to love to run alongside my tractor here on our farm and today for the first time he rode on it to his grave near the creek he loved to swim in so much. It was our last...

UPS man just dropped off a case of 50 tubes of Paragon 3000 no.2 grease at my door. Man that is a lot of grease. It was the smallest size they would sell me. I just need about 40 tubes of it. If someone else would like to take 10 tubes off my hands for what I gave for them + postage I'll ship it...

Ok kinda a long story but here it goes........My mom uses her "botie" in her daylilly operation. It has a 400 pound tiller on it and thats all. No loader or loaded tires or grill guard. I'm concerned that on some of our steeper grades here that she might lose traction up front going up hill. She...

I have a JD 660 tiller with skids. A local dealer has a Kuhn el 61 210 with the wheels mounted on it. Anyone can tell me the advantages if any of a tiller with wheels vs. one with plain old skids? I would guess a smoother finish? Ease of depth adjustment?

The title says it all. I'm looking to get a B2320 Hydro or a BX2360 with a 60" belly mower. I've searched and read the forum till my eyeballs are dancing around but still can find out if you can lower and mow with the belly mower and keep a implement raised on the hitch. If you can't you would...

Thinking of looking into a BX for a replacement for a Grasshopper mower. We are cutting back on our mowing and the Grasshopper is on its last legs. One of the things we hate most about the Grasshopper is your supposed to grease it every ten hours and it has about a dozen zerks,some are hard to...

Looking at a Keen Kutter disc here that has 20 inch discs on it. Most others of this type have the 18". Its a 6 1/2 foot disc and I think my 44 HP Kubota won't have any issues pulling it. What are the benefits of the larger 20" discs and should I let it sway me over another disc I'm looking at...

I've heard both ways. Anyone out there with a Kubota7510 HSD can tell me for sure if there is a lever that maintains constant speed or do you have to keep your foot on the pedal all the time? Thanks!

I've looked but can't find the listed MPH of the B2320 gear transmission run at rated speed in first gear. I want it S L O W but I know that many times 1st gear is still too fast for some appications such tight garden work. If anyone has the numbers I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Are the commerical GX engines made in Tailand or Japan?

I see it has position control and you can get it in the HST now. I'm disabled and coudn't use the gear transmission at all on the older narrow tractors. This new one is very interesting for me. Not only usable in our commercial dayilly farm but I'm a avid gardener and would love the idea of...

I have a new Kubota L5040 and I'm going to do the first change in the engine oil soon. Went to my dealer and the Kubota oil filter is made in Indonesia and dosn't look up to the quality of the Japanese/American filters that I used on my previous Kubota tractor. What other brands of filters can...

I've looked at the TSC ones. Considering a Landpride and a Leinbach but the favorite by far is the Woods DHM7. Local dealer has one on his lot asking $1550 for it.My tractor is a L5040 kubota with 44 pto HP. I like the idea of a 7 foot disc giving me 6 inches coverage outside of my tire tracks...

Ok was hooking up the John Deere MX6 mower to my spanking new L5040 Kubota with catagory 2 links. I had the bushings but my mom tossed them aside and the links went on the pins VERY easy without them. So I mowed some with it like that and for the life of me can't see any reason to use the...

I found the Befco T30 series and the CCM both in 34" widths. I'm wondering if I could get a narrow tiller and then till my sweet corn with my tractor either by tinkering with the offset and the row spaceing. Has anyone out there removed a gang of tines so they could till on either side of a...

Well here in town. The dealer called and said they unloaded my L5040 this morning (August 13th). They will deliver it Tuesday. Now to decide on where to park it.................

My incomming Kubota L5040 has 9.5-16 tires. The Rimguard website shows that it would add about 125 pounds per tire if filled with Rimguard. Thats considerable. 250 pounds total way out front would certainly keep my front end solid on the ground even with a heavy mower on the back. What is the...

Now that the Euro has fallen quite a bit will there be any discount on the next order of Italian tillers? I see we've hit a 15 year low against the yen,(it was about that time I bought my kubota!) but the Euro is down a bit. What is the lag time for a currency dip to show itself on a dealers...

After my dealer told me my L5040 would arrive in "just a few days, end of the week" I'm now entering my fourth week of waiting with no firm date of delivery. How long did you have to wait for your 'bota to hatch?

Dealer just delivered my MX 6. Not used it yet but I wanted to comment on the paint job. It looks great! It has a undercoat and appears very think. I can see where the green paint should cost more!:thumbsup: I looked at a new Rhino 172 dealer's lot that had blisters all over it and rust...

When I got my L4200 years ago you had to get either the single,double or triple remote. No way to add two singles together. I talked to my dealer just now and never could get if I could order a single NOW and later add another single on my incoming L5040. They used to come were if you wanted two...

So that is what everyone says. What happens IF you mix them? Say you have Moly grease on a U-joint and you pump in some JD polyurea.....does it explode, turn to acid, emit a deadly gas, become radioactive or what exactly? I would think you would still have grease in there even is it didn't mix...

In the JD 4000 series the 4720 has 56 PTO hp out of the same sized turbocharged engine as the 4320 that has "only" 40 PTO hp. Both engines are turbocharged. The Kubota L5040 has the same displacement and its turbocharged engine puts out 44 PTO hp. I know you can "turn it up" but that seems like...

I might need to leave a new kubota L4750 outside for a year or two. What damage could this cause? I would coat that sucker down with fluid film and over the winter would toss a cover over it but summer wise it would be outside and in the shade of a tree. Is there any advice that you could give...

Anyone out there with a creeper gear on their Grand L series Kubota? I was thinking about this option if I get a new L5040 but wanted to know some things about it. Do you have to clutch to shift it into the creeper range on a GST? Once in creeper range can you then use the glide shift to go up...

One of the issues on the older L series was a oil leak at the front axel hub pivot. I was looking at the new GL series and they seem to have the exact same design. Have they address the seal issure or do the new GLs leak at the axel also? The Deere drivers seem to have the same issue with the...

I have a 12 year old L4200 with a Kubota loader and one remote, GST and 575 hours. Its in VERY good shape. I'm looking to trade up to a L5040 GST with loader and one hydro remote. Dealer has $10,500 on my L4200 and value of 28,000 for the L5040. So $17,500 difference. Thats the starting price...

I was looking for a Squealer in 6 foot but nobody has them on the lots around here. Last year they were sitting everywhere. I have a Kubota L4200 with 37 PTO and I'm torn between a 6 and 5 foot. It would be mowing trails and some rough stuff like fallen limbs and small 1-2 inch saplings. The 5...
