Don't forget about us 2620 Kioti cab guys!

We’re planning on having an option available for the Cab/Cab + A/C owners.

I thought I’d share a truly amazing L2501 Turbo Kit installation on a non-L2501 tractor!

An OrangeTractorTalks forum member has successfully installed the S2T L2501 Turbo Kit on his Kubota L3240 “Grand L40” series tractor equipped with a Grand cab, HST Plus transmission, D1703 engine and factory A/C.

As you might expect, the L2501 Turbo Kit didn’t simply bolt-on to the L3240, like it does on a Kubota L2501 tractor. The Turbo Kit required some expertly executed fabrication, massaging and minor modifications to complete this upgrade. The results, however, were well worth the effort!

And considering the size and weight of the Kubota L3240 Grand L40 series tractor, the Turbo Kit is even more of a welcomed upgrade, when compared to the L2501.

The new owner is now putting his mighty L3240 tractor, nicknamed the “Orange Angry Dragon” through its paces while enjoying its newfound Turbocharged performance at an elevation of 8,700 feet.

That’s needed at that elevation. Does it have oil cooled pistons?
Limiting factor is of course the weight. Those little machines are for light farm duties. Every machine has a purpose.

That's pretty sweet!

I love my Kioti CK3510, but honestly I would also love to trade it for a 2620 Cab with a turbo kit.

I see more and more guys turning up the fuel screw on the 2610/2620s to gain power. Good for them, but I also see smoky exhaust that I would never want. But mostly I just want to hear a turbo and feel it spooling up!

It’s coming. We just need a bit more time to catch up on L2501 Turbo Kit production then we can start on the Turbo Kit for CK2610/2620. The L2502 is also in the mix.

I’ll admit, I certainly enjoy hearing the Turbo spool up on startup and listening to my mini-Cummins while working. The Turbo adds a whole new dimension to tractor operation.

The TYM/Branson 2515 may as well be another great candidate for a Turbo kit. That engine was offered with a turbo on some models at one point. They have sold and still sell tons of those tractors and people always want more HP, specially with those hydrostatic transmissions.
