    Back in the LS game XR4155HC

    I returned from overseas two months ago to Colorado and the weather here as help make the decision for us that sooner rather than later was the time to get a new tractor. I ended up with using the same dealer in Penrose, Co. Randy took good care of me before when I has warranty issues (minor)...

    I got the hydraulic fluid and filters done. The large drain plugs require a 30 mm. I drained and replaced just shy of 10 gallons. I was surprised how the drain plugs looked. Rear plug Yes there are 2 distinct shavings on that magnet. Front plug The front axle I used a crescent wrench and...

    I realized that I did not post pics of when I cleaned up my front hoses. Bought the clamps off eBay as they had free shipping and got some longer metric bolts from the local farm supply. I think in the future I will up the hose size to 1/2" to increase the flow.

    hydraulic oil

    I've been researching if the Kubota meets GL4, and it's hard to determine. In other countries it looks like they list them as meeting GL4. But given that they most likely are manufacture in different facilities / countries I can say that its good to go. One example was the Canadian fluid is made...

    So those that have a hydraulic top link what are the length of your hoses? I'm about to order the top link and want to order the hoses and fittings at the same time.

    Compare XR4046HC to XR4150HC

    So I've got over 140 hours on my XR4046HC and I was driving by the LS dealer and wanted to see how the new 3cyl turbo performed compared to my 4cly NA shibaura. I did a quick test drive and found that the turbo motor was a little rougher at lower RPMs but smoothed out with a few more RPM's At my...

    I needed room for my kids to stand so I removed the plastic cover/cup holder from beside the seat. But the lever attachment point for the other model types does not leave a nice flat area. So I made up a cover plate. So now one of them can stand next to me without twisting an ankle. It's not...

    When I received the tractor I removed the passenger side step first thing as it has no function since the controls are in the way for ingress/egress. I finally got around to mounting a tool box in its place. I cut apart the factory step and made some modifications. I still have to wait for the...
