Field work

Wife caught me working on 5 of the 40 acres today with the faithful little L2550DT. Turned 6,330 hours today.

Up there with me and my M9's in hours. Kubota's are very reliable in my view.

That sure is a solid little tractor.

Like the old saying goes..."If you take care of it,it will take care of you" and by the looks you have.

Oil change every 100 hours and regular grease. Two clutches I believe, a lot of $ in the front axle from asking it to lift too much and reinforcing of loader arms. Fortunately, beyond the valve covers being off for valve adjustment I have never had the engine apart including fuel injectors etc.

It is a tough little guy and will serve well with some care.

Oil every 100 hours?

Wow.

 

[workinonit]

Yeah, I don't do that either. That would be a lot of oil changing for me.

100h sound like a lot but I change mine once a year at the end of the summer ( I don't use it during the winter or very little) regardless of the hours I change it at that time, it's mostly would be anywhere between 100h to 200h. My owner manual ask for every 200h I believe.

I look at the posts about electronics and air pollution stuff and a host of other items that may cause a new tractor to go to the shop for repair so for about the same cost as 15 minutes of shop time I can do an oil change to keep this purely mechanical tractor running.

Oil costs too much to throw it away unused IMHO 100 hour oil changes are not needed but won't hurt anything but your wallet. lol
Neighbor has had a 30 hp Kubota for about 20 yrs now. .. I 've told this before but last year I asked if he was doing his own oil changes. He said no, I've never changed the oil.
One extreme and the other yet both tractors are running.
