I vaguely recall a mention regarding Kubotas using generic ignition keys somewhere. I am considering leaving my tractor in an unsecured location for a while, and was wondering if leaving the ignition key out actually prevents someone from driving it away.

I believe there is slight variation by model. However, every L39 for example is keyed alike.

Hi Jay…
Yes same key for a lot of models. Same door key for the cab doors. If you are concerned you can pull the main fuse, The large red one that feeds power to everything on the dash. It is located just in front of the starter on a number 8 wire. Un-plug the fuse and you can’t start it. KennyV.

They are by model group for the most part with a few variations.

Yea, I could take about 3-keys and start about 3/4 of new tractors. Infact some Kubota keys will start New Holland tractors.

The first key my dealer gave me for my B7510 was a New Holland key. I have tried a couple variations of chaining the steering wheel together with the forward pedal for security when I have been gone on vacation. Of course during the day when I am at work it could disappear. :( But then that is why we live way at the end of the road - so we don't have to worry about that sort of thing so much. :)

Kubota keys can start Case tractors or vice versa.

My best idea is secure the best you can and take out an insurance policy:D

The key to my 2006 Ford Escape starts my B-7800 nicely! Pretty handy really.

All L-Series Kubota's are keyed alike as well.

Greetings,
When I was shopping for new tractor, the Kubota dealer was showing me around and started about a dozen different ones as I was interested in different hoe movement speeds.
I said something about having a keyring the size of a janitor and he just laughed and showed me his "massive key ring" which had 4 or 5 keys on it.
He said that he could start every Kubota and quite a few other brands on the lot as well with just those.
