Help Air Filter Relocation?

descanso1 · Feb 7, 2014

I currently have a Kubota B7800, and have had a Case dx33 and several other kubotas all having the same problem, the intake for the air filter is located in one of the dustiest locations, I also have a Kubota RTV900 which had he same problem so I made a snorkel for it raising the intake up high to get it out of the dust, big difference. Before I relocated it I had to clean the air filter every other day now about once every 30 days... My question is has any one relocated the intake on one of these tractors to a better location? If so do you have pictures? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you!

I don't have any pictures or ideas but I would be interested I seeing pictures of how you relocated the filter on the RTV. I have always thought it was put in a horrible location.

Sorry it took so long to get back to you but just got back from a trip.. I removed the intake portion from behind the cab, part before the actual air filter then used the hose to connect to a 90 degree pvc elbow which connected to a thin wall pipe to run up to just below the roof, then I connected a pvc drain p trap to point it down (do not want water getting in when it rains, so pointed down plus under the roof keeps it out) On the side of the straight metal pipe I welded a tab to connect to one of the existing bolts for support and I used a couple of zip ties on the pipe to help support it,, total cost 0.00 as I just used junk I had laying around the shop... Kubota does make a kit as well called a High mount air filter cost around 200.00. The Mack Bull Dog was added to the hood because the RTV reminds me of an old Mack truck I saw one time,,,,,,,,,,,, The tail gate net on the right side is because my Labrador has a tendency jump out some times when we are driving so I try to protect him because he does let me use his RTV.
