    replacing engine oil filter every change

    Years ago with one of my first cars, I was told to change every 2500 miles which I did for years. (Conventional oil with filter). When synthetic became more popular I was told it would go 10,000 miles so that is what I have been doing for 20+ years now. In that time I have had 4 different trucks...

    Filters and fluids, name brand or generic?

    In my early days of owning my first tractor I did my own service and usually used what was on sale at the farm stores. I don't use my tractor all that much so changing oil is a once a year event for me so at some point I started using OEM Kubota filters bought from my local dealer. If I was...

    New Kubota Financing Requirement, Looks Like an Attempt to Force Buyer To Buy KTAC Insurance

    Glad they signed off on it. Maybe they have seen the form already and knew what it was about. I don't have a farm policy but my regular insurance company wrote up my tractor under their "Off Road" classification. It usually covers stuff like ATVs and such which I would assume roll over quite...

    Skid Steer 3pt Quick-Hitch

    I bought one of those for a specific use. I built a garage a few years ago and there is a fairly steep drop off to the grade on the back and west side. I needed a way to grade this but it’s too steep to go at it from the top so I used this device with my box blade so I could go at it from the...

    YT359c Dealer states insurance from Yanmar will be $10,000.

    It's been a while since I bought my Kubota B2650 but I called my insurance agent and bought a policy just for the tractor. I did that because I take it off my property sometimes and this covers the tractor for damage plus liability if I should damage something with it. I don't know the matrix...

    Runnings tractors

    I happened to stop a a Runnings by me recently and those tractors caught my eye too. I’m not really in the market for a new one but the price was pretty good. I’ve seen some other threads comparing it to a JD 1 series / Kubota BX but the specs I’m looking at put it in the same class as my...

    Whose idea to put the brakes on top of the 'Go' pedal??

    My old B2410 had that same design. Clutch pedal was on the left but the brakes were directly above the forward pedal. They were split too so you could brake one side or the other. Dealer told me that was for going around tight corners but I’m like you guys and couldn’t really figure out how you...

    Battery operated backpack sprayer pump

    Thanks for your replies and ideas. This sprayer is as no-name and generic as you can get. The only sticker anywhere on it is a large one on the front saying it’s 18V Lithium powered. Inside there are no identifying tags especially on the pump itself where I looked to see if I could get the...

    Battery operated backpack sprayer pump

    Hello everyone, It’s been a while since I have posted here but I’m glad the forum is chugging along. I need some help on a repair project I have. I have a battery operated backpack sprayer that I screwed something up on and have a question. The original battery was a removable 18V of...

    B2650 Question about Charging after Light Bar Install

    Hello all, I have a question that I wanted to get some input from anyone more knowledgeable than I am. I have a new B2650 ROPS that I installed a pair of led light bars on (1 front, and 1 rear). Each bar is rated at 126Watts and they are individually controlled by switches I put in the dash...

    B2650 Loader Control

    Hello, I've had my new tractor for a coupe of weeks now and have come across an annoyance that maybe some one has a solution to. I have found (twice now) that when I turn myself a bit to the right to watch what I'm doing behind me, my right calf contacts the loader control stick and pushes...

    Loader  Kubota B-1658 Quick Coupler Dimensions

    Hey guys, I have searched this to death but can't seem to find the answers I need. I know this piece will fit on the newer LA364 loaders but I want to find out if it will fit my older LA352. These loaders are in the same class but mine is 10 years old or so. Does anybody have first hand...

    Pallet forks and fork frame

    I asked this question earlier but was specific to a Kubota frame so no one replied. Hopefully this will be a better method of asking. Are forks made for a forklift built to a certain standard so they are interchangeable? I am looking at the Kubota B1659 frame but I'm not sure if I would have...

    Forks  Kubota B1659 Fork Frame

    I am considering getting one of these and have a question about the forks it uses. Are forks made to a general spec and therefore interchangeable between frames. I have seen lots of threads were people get used forks from repair shops etc but then they are usually building some sort of frame...

    Spreader  Silex FS-150 Spreader

    I recently was given - yes given - one of these spreaders. As with most free things, I have spent way more time and effort getting it running than a new one probably would have cost. No money, just my time and aggravation. This is an older model, I think, that has two holes on the bottom of...
