    Rotary Cutter 60" or 72" for 27 PTO HP?

    The last thing you want to do is overheat your tractor running something that is too big. Especially if mowing in summer heat. I would stick with the smaller brush hog and not risk it.

    Kubota M5660SUHD caught on fire (60hrs)!

    I would think this is possibly warranty related. Can you contact your local fire marshall and ask them to send someone to look at your tractor to determine where/how/why the tractor caught on fire. They are good at determining this stuff, so it might be worth it if they can find the cause and...

    Buying Advice Is it possible to go too big?

    Kubota L4330 HST Running Temp and RPMS

    So I did change the thermostat, I wanted to rule out that maybe it was sticking or defective in some way, and it's really not that hard to do. The one that was in there was a 71C, the new on I put in was a 71C, which converts to 160F. I ran it last night at faster RPM, and it seems to stay at...

    Hi All, I'm in North Texas, high temps are in the low to mid 90s these days. I was mowing yesterday, 6 foot brush mower on my Kubota L4330. I was in some pretty heavy grass, and I notice that coolant is coming out of the overflow tank, dripping on the ground. The tractor did not overheat, it...

    Repo
