kubota m62

All of a sudden a few weeks ago it felt like our M62 was a bit slower at the usual Medium HST settings. If anyone has an M62, could they check what its speed is at the Medium gear range with the Rabbit setting? On level ground, ours is going about 6km/hour. This would be a big help before we...

Here’s a bit of a head scratcher. We tend to run our M62 HST at medium either high/low (transmission on medium turtle/rabbit). Suddenly last week, at either setting, it feels like its running about 20% slower. At 1500rpm on level ground, its going about 6.5km/hr. 600 hours and everything else...

Stopped in at local dealer today to get pricing on an MX6000 they’ve had on their lot for long time based on the faded paint and cobwebs and ask how much to add a backhoe. ($55k) was the price he quoted with a 3rd function valve, 2 remotes, and hoe(open station not cab) 🤷‍♂️ (yikes). I asked...

I've been mowing on steep uneven ground the past few days and have a problem with the tractor coming to a stop all by itself while traveling in a straight line. Engine speed isn't effected; it's as if I've taken my foot off the Speed Control Pedal causing the tractor to stop. I've also seen this...

Time to change the HST filter on the M62 and the Owner's Manual sez to drain the fluid first. Big PITA to do so, and I'm wondering, if I work fast, how much fluid will I lose if I don't drain the fluid first? Anybody done it?

I bought some land for an investment, hunting and as a retirement piddle project. I've got 215 acres of land that's 50% moderately sloped thinned pines and 50% steeper sloped hardwoods and hardwood bottoms. I need to maintain the existing roads/trails and create/improve others so I can...

Any special likes and dislikes about the cab? Would you consider the cab quiet? Also, about how long does is take the remove the backhoe from the tractor. I am considering the purchase of one. Thanks.

I have an M62 that I bought new in April of 2020. It was fully serviced at 50 hours, 100 hours, and 200 hours, including a complete HST fluid replacement. Currently has about 300 hours on it. It developed a steering issue at around 100 hours (steering became very stiff, and would actually...

Kubota M62 With High Insolubles in Hydraulic Oil We have a pretty new Kubota M62 with just about 200 hours. I was changing the hydraulic and transmission oil filters and took a look at the oil itself. It looked much dirtier than I had ever seen in our other machines. I could actually see...

We reattached the backhoe (BT1400) after using a three point hitch implement on our M62, and have almost no swing power left or right. Things get a bit better at high rpm’s - the hoe at least slowly swings, but it has no power. The controls are correct. Everything else is good. I was pretty...

With the start of summer right around the corner and a huge amount of dust on the ground, it was time to tame the billowing exhaust plume from the Kubota M62. For some reason, Kubota saw fit to aim the exhaust to the front and down, where it lands a few feet in front of the tractor with enough...

We’ve got about 100 hours on the M62 and the first little problem has cropped up… The loader has begun to drop relatively quickly when the tractor is shut off. There is a clicking sound, and the bucket dumps and the loader drops to the ground over about 20 minutes. For the first 100 hours, the...

We just checked the oil level in the front axle of our new M62…there are no marks on the plug dip stick…does anyone know where on the dipstick the oil level should be? Thanks in advance for any help.

I just bought a used 2016 M62 and looking for a bit of info. I don't have the service manual yet. The backhoe hydraulics seem a tad weak; and I'd just like to verify pressure at a few points. Can someone provide me the type/size of fittings used at the hydraulic cylinders? Thanks!

Fellow Kubotan's..... I made this video for a friend (named Darrell obviously) at the last minute and had no plans to put on YouTube so forgive the poor camera skills and narration. After giving it some thought, I feel others may benefit from it. It sure woke my eyes up to how quickly a very...

Just wondering if other M62 users have to push down on the ignition key before they can get it to turn. Seems like something is wrong with that, but it could also be some sort of safety feature. I purchased a new switch thinking the one I had was bad; it does the same thing...

Kubota M62 Tractor Loader Backhoe, 279 hours. It went through a regeneration cycle yesterday, sitting parked in the driveway. Everything seemed normal after that, moved it over to the backhoe and got the hoses hooked up, and the tractor wouldn't start. Cranks fine, just won't catch and run all...

Here's a post about how not to add top'n'tilt cylinders to a Kubota M62 TLB, and also about a set of spools that will fit right (there's a hint there). I took delivery of an M62 last summer, used the hoe for a couple of weeks for some trenching, then pulled it off. The tractor didn't come with a...

A neighbor of mine showed me the fork shaped teeth on his Cat backhoe that he claims are better at breaking rock. He also said they should be available for the BT1400 backhoe on the Kubota M62 I have here. I'd like to remove a tooth off the bucket and take it down with me when I go looking for...

Bought a 2016 Kubota M62 with 113 hours on it from an outfit in Texas, and it just arrived today. It started right up to offload from the truck, then started again just fine to run it up the driveway to the garage. There I noticed a hole in the plastic front grill, and when I popped the hood...

There's very little flat land here on my little 13 acre parcel, and most of it runs between 10-15% gradient, with some close to 25%. I've been running R4 tires on a Kubota L3240, and get a lot of slipping when the grade gets steep. Now I'm looking at upgrading to an M62 for more power and a...

Going to add a thumb to my m62. My backhoe is a bt1400, not 1400v so I need a bt2385 hydraulic kit and the thumb kit K7545. Any outlets for these kits online. They are kinda an inside Kubota thing I'm gathering and not really a public available part. Thought about bypassing the hydraulics and...

I am currently finalizing my M62 order. I plan to build a small structure to store it in (the building will also serve as a power distribution point for my farm). Could any current M62 owners comment on the minimum size building required to fit the tractor? The specs say that the overall...

Shortly after my 4720 broke in half I realized that I needed a new tractor. So, we looked around a bit and settled on a Kubota M62 TLB. Great machine. Love it so far. Since we have a lot of hills, I would like to get the rear wheels spaced out a bit. The M62 must be a newer model since I...

Looks very capable with nearly 2 tons of loader capacity... Does have the DPF which I have avoided. Kubota Tractors - M62TLB Series
