Anyone successfully running anything other than the kubota brand in their tractor? My L 2501 ( FEL and backhoe gear driven) blew yet another hose and I’m back in the market for fluid If I were operating a hydrostatic trans I wouldn’t consider anything other than UDT-2 but there are a lot of...

I’m curious why more people don’t build underground? We are considering a root cellar for my wife’s canning. We are in FL where it is dry, so dry that very little survives here with the exception of king leaf pines and sand oaks. Very, very little rainfall throughout the year. Why don’t we hear...

Looking for ideas I welded autobody for over thirty years, as the years progressed the metal became thinner. I can weld a soda can but it will distort the can badly. For some reason someone cut section out of my hood, I have another hood that is beat to hell but this area is fine. I’ll need to...

I bought another one yesterday, I may sell the first one cause I don’t need two. I prefer this one. I can’t find a sub section here for Power king tractors? I’d hate to go to another web site, people on here are two friendly and willing to help. Am I missing it? Pictures attached

This is my beautiful wife standing next to a beautiful tractor that has less than 150 hrs on it. It was sitting in the local kubota showroom. I thought maybe some of you guys had owned this model tractor might like seeing it. Too bad it doesn’t have the mower deck. Assuming it could have had one

I’ll need to replace mine, I didn’t realize that the foam was covering up so much rust down in the seat pan and so now it’s almost beyond a feasible repair. It’s been a great tractor and I’d like to find an original used seat in decent condition at a fair price if possible. Maybe someone here...

I need a battery for my b6100. E. someone put a car battery in it and while it works fine it doesn't quite fit the tray properly. I've called around to several places and I'm getting very conflicting information. Kubota dealer in Lakeland is telling me that they sell car batteries for...

These directions are unclear. 1- Fill the fuel tank with fuel and open the fuel cock Ok got it 2- twist off the bleeding screws at the top of the filter with two turns. 3- when bubbles disappear from fuel coming out of the plug twist it back on. Okay so is the engine supposed to be running...

My B6100 pep cock clogged, got it unplugged and at first sludge only came out, now it's looking like pure water. How do you guys suggest handling this. I'm a bodyman, not a mechanic per se and so it's better to get opinions from people that know more than I do. Thanks

I'm trying to learn how to maintain my tractor better. I probably haven't done a great job up until now. I believe I was supposed to shut off the fuel when I was done for the day with this tractor. I never did and now the sediment bowl is leaking. I'm assuming that maybe I can make a gasket if...

I hope thats an Ok title, spent the weekend on the property, I went there with a 2.5 glallons of Kubota trans/hydraulic fluid knowing that I needed to add some cause last weekend I had to fix a hydraulic line that had never been tightened properly underneath my backhoe. The owners manual is...

Some months ago I bought a trailer off Craigslist. On the way home with the trailer empty and hooked up to my Ford ranger it started swaying from side to side really bad. So bad I had to stop get out of my truck and scratch my head. I got the trailer home, put new tires on it because the...

Last weekend I was surprised to see that a hydraulic line had not been tightened well enough on my new tractor and fluid was escaping. It was a line down under the BX77 backhoe that was installed. I dont know how much fluid was lost, seems like hydraulics are weaker though now and Im assuming...

I've got 13 hrs on it now but it looks like 30. I need to get it washed, I don't have water on site, I'm working on getting something set up but don't want to half hazardly damage my equipment cause I took chances. I've been doing a lot of research online, in my opinion people do alot of...

To cutting a limb off or damaging something very badly. Im looking for the best you tube video on proper use of a chainsaw. ( any suggestions ) Ive been using them since I was old enough to carry but evidently I need to re think how I use and respect the saw and Ive also been reminded that...

I bought a 275 gallon IBC 275 Gallon IBC Storage Tank Tote - farm & garden - by owner - sale tote this weekend for use on my remote property as a storage container. ( water ) Ill have to bring the water in....no big deal and no choice at this point, no electric and no well yet. Generator gives...

I know there is an ongoing 11 page thread. Can someone cut to the chase and recommend the BEST safety gear that I should be wearing while using the chainsaw. Cost isnt so much an issue as long as we arent talking Nasa kinda stuff. I had a chain break yesterday, caught my left testacle...

I bought a second back up generator this weekend, its an older Onan but it runs well. Of course the add on Craigslist never mentioned the fact that the fuel tank was rusty and the seller didnt say anything until I had already driven the hour to go look at it. Ive called Onan and they say no...

I like the tractor, think I made a wise purchase, this is not a bashing thread but more of a hey I agree but this is what I did to overcome your issue thread. Im prob not gonna think of everything at once, Ill add things as I re remember them and hopefully people will chime in Maybe since Im...

Im gonna have some questions, rather than have 12 different threads Im gonna post them here over time and hope someone will come back and answer them for me. My dealer was supposed to demo the tractor for me on Fri when I picked up but for whatever reason did not do this ( just left with no...

I don't have my tractor yet hopefully picking up next weekend. Kubota l2501 Quick attach/skid steer style front end loader. I want to put something in the hole opening of my grapple to keep the branches and s*** out of my grill and radiator. Is there going to be an issue using 7 mm screws...

I've never financed anything before other than my house, I don't like owing money, I worked 7 days a week 12-14 hrs a day for 2 years to pay that off. My payments though remained the same if I remember correctly. I thought the more you paid the lesser your monthly payments would be? I intend...

Recently I was in the market for a used tractor, I was looking at 1 tractor after another that had a few thousand hrs. on it and major engine work done. That was an exclusive selling point for these sellers, the fact that major engine work had recently been done. I assumed that a tractor's...

Has anyone here ever considered an external power source for running their backhoe? I'm wondering if it's doable and cost affective rather than having their tractor engine revving high all day long just to use that particular attachment. Harbor freight predator engine is cheap, pump might be...

I often drag logs out of the woods using my pole boom attached to my 3 point. Sometimes when I am lowering the 3 point it will drop down just a little then stop, then I have to move the lever back to original position, then move it back to the lowering position and again the 3 point will drop a...

Im wondering why people like ( Im not gonna mention names ) make videos on You tube, whats their incentive? Making these videos takes an incredible amount of time, in my opinion they have given up alot of their privacy, they are exposing and putting at risk their families cause of all the scum...

Im a car/truck guy but I feel alot of interest in these tractors now, how can I find about where I can attend local shows? Ive attended alot of pulls and while I VERY much like this Ive always been more of an original appreciation type guy.....in other words unmodified bare stock just the way...

Im hoping to see it Fri, I know its on its way cause I talked with shipper. Price was the major decider for me, Im gonna get my OEM 3rd function installed by dealer and cover the cost of the attachment for a little less than some of the other higher priced grapples. If the thing looks like...

Has anyone here installed any other root grapple other than the wicked? Im sure it a very nice root grapple, Im sure that its prob. better quality than most any root grapple to be found.....its 2 grand. I just spent nearly 30 for my tractor! I can get one alot cheaper online but of course I...

I am gonna pick up my new L2501/loader/backhoe combo in a couple of weeks. Its my first tractor, Ive since learned I need a 3rd function added to run a grapple, I would have thought that the dealer would have tried to sell me everything under the sun including the simonize but no, he even...

I dont undertand why I cannot buy a root rake/grappler and hook up the same hydraulics that my FEL would use. Why do I need to buy a special kit and plumb in more hydraulic lines? Why are the kits so expensive, what in the kits that add up to many many hundreds of dollars? Help me to...

I know theres more to moving material around with a FEL or a backhoe than just filling the buckets with as much material as possible, there is a right and wrong way, wrong way strains/breaks the machine. I wouldnt know the difference between right or wrong and Id rather start out with my...

Ive read thru my L5201 operators manual completely ( online, still havent picked up tractor from dealer ) and there is nothing inside regarding FEL or backhoe usage/maintenance or engaging/disengaging. Ive googled them and havent seen the PDFs? Are they avail? Im trying to become familiar...

Why is horsepower so important on a tractor. On a car or truck for me I am after torque first and horsepower secondary as the vehicle is already launched, torque value is what I would think a tractor would be advertised as cause low rpms engine, stump pulling torque is what we are all after...

Ive searched the web for videos that show very specific procedures for using my new tractor ( Kubota L2501 ) including removing and re installing FEL and backhoe and have come up with nothing except videos several years old and non specific to my model. I would have thought Kubota itself would...

I have a few questions about my L2501 Kubota and tractors in general so I can better understand how to repair them Im wondering if they are designed like cars.trucks The one I recently purchased is 4WD so does it have a front driveshaft Does it have a typical ring and pinion in the front and...

Maybe another forum? Seems like no general discussion forum here? Anyway I've been wondering ever since buying the land (2013) that nothing seems to grow healthy but pine trees. I don't like pine trees, planned on removing them from the get go. Visited my local extension office and asked them...

Stupid question but is it really beet juice as in the vegetable? I told my dealer yesterday that I wanted tractor weights added to the wheels, he told me that instead they would fill the tires with water. I told him no way I don't want water or windshield washer fluid in my tires. If anything...

Anyone here ever had to deal with their removal? Ive got a lot to remove. Ive already played around with them enough to know they arent very cooperative. Sandy soil, tap roots go straight down and the trunk only gets larger underground. Ive just ordered a Kubota tractor/backhoe and I plan to...

Im in debt! Signed the purchase agreement today after talking with salesman over telephone about my concerns of getting what I feel that I am paying for....and that is a very new tractor. He assured me that the tractor I would be getting has less than .5 hours showing, brand new with no signs...

Was at the local RK today and couldn't help but look at the tractors. RK 37 bigger tractor, same FEL backhoe package same money as Kubota L2501 tractor. Service is done in house, evidently all the FL RK stores have this feature and no def fluid. Just asking. Thanks

Because of my schedule the soonest time I can drive the 2 hrs to my Kubota dealer is next Sat afternoon to sign the purchase agreement for my L2501DT/LA525FL/BH77 mech thumb package. Im new to tractors and tractor related, I would think it would be perfectly OK to expect my salesperson to give...

Id like to have it, I bet I could get ALOT of use out of it and would be surprised at how much work it could do. 1979 hinomoto diesel compact tractor front loader/backhoe | eBay If it were 4WD Id almost have to seriously consider it. Im a sucker for anything even remotely vintage

Looks like Im going with the Kubota package seen here L251 LOADER BACKHOE PACKAGE | Packages | Beshears Kubota Mine is gonna have the manual thumb since I was told they dont offer hydraulic. Im not getting it from them, Im dealing with my local dealer instead even though it is about 1700...

LS XJ225 Tractor 3 month review - YouTube

Im in the market, tractors are expensive, Im getting ready to spend ( in my opinion still ) ALOT of money on a Kubota, Im considering the Kubota cause I have one already and its been a great tractor but Ive never owned any other brand. I also like orange VERY much. I also like old Mopars and...

Is there one time better than another? Im not in a huge rush and if I can save thousands than its something to consider. Also is it true that like in the old days with cars a tractor isnt necessarily given a model year until the date it is sold? Im wondering if Im considering a tractor that...

Is there a way I can compare pricing of a particular unit without calling or visiting multiple dealers? Trying to find accurate pricing online and not having any luck, sending e-mails to dealers attempting to get a response hasnt worked I.E no response in all cases Im also wondering if buying...

I went to kioti dealer first this a.m and then to Kubota. Surprisingly the nearly same speced tractor at Kubota was only about 500 dollars more so if given opportunity I'm gonna go with the Kubota. I looked at a L2501 DT. Not sure what DT is? It comes with quick release loader, 4 W.D and...

I currently own a B6100 that I love but Im in need of a bigger machine ( the 6100 isnt going anywhere ) I need something with a FEL and the capability of adding a backhoe attachment, Im not in the market for a 30000 dollar machine, Id like something along the same vintage as my 6100 so mid...

Dealer wants 25 a gallon for the utd Operators manual says if need be I can use sae 80 weight. What's your opinions?

Where can I learn about the various implements I can attach to my tractor. Ive read here that since I have a 3 point system just about all implements are universal in that they will work with my tractor. Is this true? Ok so what is avail implement wise that I might start looking for on...

I checked the oil in my tractor today and it was black as coal, not familiar with diesel engines, is this typical? What type of filter and oil do you guys change with? I dont want to call and ask dealer cause I have no intention of buying it from him. Maybe one of you guys knows a good part...

Would one of these numbers help to identify approx year of my B6100E?

Years ago they would put something in rad and let sit overnight, cleaned rad and engine block, more recently I've heard of guys using cocoa cola. What can you guys suggest? Haven't even opened cap, I'm just assuming it would be a good idea to flush the system out with something that would...

I don't have tractor in front of me to see how this works, does this lock the spider gears in rear axle? I need this on some of my cars if so 😀

I'm studying my operators manual, unfortunately I don't have the tractor in front of me. Some quick ?s Why do I have an accelerator lever, I don't see the point since I have a gas pedal, maybe it has something to do with running an implement? Also let's assume the tractor hasn't been used in...

I want to get one off E-bay but not sure which parts book, I type in Kubota 6100 and get over 600 results and there are alot of OEM parts books, some dated, some not. Some green cover and some orange, Im not even sure of the year of my tractor yet, I was told a 1980 but not sure how to verify...

Ok so I read thru my owners manual and I have a few more questions. It states there is a separate implement manual, the owners manual has little to nothing in it about implements. At this point I don't know a single thing about connecting/disconnecting/using the one implement I have now never...
