Have probably 15 hours on mine over a year and a half. I have 8 gallons of flow for attachments, no issues so far. I did add the return to sump line. I have the smaller LS3 which only requires 5-8pgm. 872070

I've never seen a square one, but they make adapters. I use a hex to round adapter on mine, adds a little extra depth too, works great. And wow, have they gone up in price in the last 18 months lol https://www.tooltuffdirect.com/products/tool-tuff-auger-adapter

that's a nice big tractor you have, have you though about a hydraulic auger? Made in USA Digga 2DSS Auger Drive Unit Been working great for me. Easy hook up, reversible, visibility, etc. 850205 850203

Seems to run a bit smoother, though it was also smooth before. I used to have a squeal after I started to move right after startup. That is gone since the fluid change. It used to be really bad, the dealer split the tractor and replaced the HST drive unit, but a little 3 second or so squeal...

all good, got in some bucket work, grappling and stump grinding.

I hit 600 hours, and my hydraulic filters were due, fluid was coming up and I've been wanting to swap the fluid to synthetic for a while, so all that happened today. Draining it was pretty straight forward. I used an oil extractor through the fill port and pulled out almost 5 gallons. Then...

That's one of the main bothersome things. I have excessive wear on a very expensive system to replace.

What? lol

Why did you try swapping from the 51085 that fit to the 7426 that didn't? Wanted a larger filter?

Just went over 600hrs, and had another Regen at 599. That puts me at 50 regens in 600 hours, what should be somewhere in the neighborhood or 12 regens, is at least 50, with the ones I caught an average of every 10.16 hours and an actual clock value between 1 and 29 hours between. Original post...

I've had more batteries fail that have been left on battery tenders (several brands) than not.

HyPro D30 is no pressure washer, sounds like a nice sprayer pump 9.5 GPM and a maximum pressure of 580 PSI Gas Pressure Washers are up in the 2500-4500 PSI range and beyond https://www.qspray.com/product-category/hypro-d30-pumps-parts

my lower link has the same type adjustment, I'd say the best I can get it 3" per side, maybe 6" side to side sway. I wish it were less, but it isn't.

the Kuboda insurance is evidently pretty darn good. The guy I use who I posted about above got his burned down skid steer replaced for almost nothing, and it was a few years old coming up on the end of his warranty period. He was a big advocate for their insurance. The replacement happened...

glad you're OK, it it's not extremely rare (not common either) for those Kubota skid steers to go up in flames. My forestry mulcher guy had the same happen, and told me of a few others who had the same issue. Like you, his was insured and it was quickly replaced. It's crazy to think it happens...
