I just bought a used BX1880 with 5 hours on it. I should have, but did not test it using the mower to cut grass before bringing it home. I assumed they limit it to a 54 mower for a reason. I didn稚 expect huge power output. However, I did think I could mow 1/2 off my grass (grass at 4 and deck...

Add me to the list of ZD owners with a failed exhaust manifold at 330 hours. A new exhaust manifold with a muffler that has the support bracket is $409. What an incredibly bad design on the early ZD mowers.

I am considering swapping out a Honda EM6500SX (9 hours run time) that I am actually very pleased with to get a new Kubota GL7000 because of the diesel advantages. Both motors (though there are differences) are quite reliable. And I feel certain that the Honda generator and associated...

The boot, a rubber spacer ring and a big hose clamp are now flopping around on the driveshaft that goes to the rear of the tractor. Can someone tell me where the narrow end of the boot goes? Or maybe post a picture? Thanks in advance.

Today, when I tried to upload pictures from my iPhone & iPad, I got this error message: Parse Error - The remote server sent an unknown response. This could be a result of the forum software plugin being outdated. Please contact the forum administrator and notify them that there is an issue...

I have searched using a number of different key words and had no luck in finding anything to help me. Obviously the question is broader than just this tractor, but I found nothing. The x575 I bought recently has about 300 hours on it. I noticed that the transition from idle to full throttle...

I have read the threads about noisy snowblowers and don't feel like I figured out enough to diagnose this. I made sure the PTO shafts were in phase. The chain seemed awfully tight - now about 1/4" and in line with the specs calling for 3/16-3/8". I was hoping that by including a short video...

I want to order some better skid shoes for my John Deere 47" snowblower before it arrives to cut down on the overall wait time. Could someone that has this snowblower measure the distance between the skid shoe mounting holes? Thanks in advance!

I have ordered a new 47" snowblower for my x575. I'll be picking it up in about 2 weeks in boxes. I don't want to pay the dealer to assemble and install it, but I have just one area of potential concern. Does anyone have experience with installing the PTO shaft through the front axle -...

This is probably a dumb question, but I've never run across this before - guessing someone on here already has... I'm greasing all the moving parts on my Kubota mower and one of the zerk fittings doesn't want to accept grease. So I replace the zerk nipple thinking it must have been due to a...

I am planning to buy a grading scraper to dress my 500' driveway. Can anyone confirm that a B3030 will handle a 60" (Landpride GS1560)? For people more familiar with brands other than Kubota - this is a 30hp tractor that weighs about 1850 pounds dry, and with no loader. I'm not as concerned...

The ZD331 has stops welded onto the frame on both sides - looks like they're meant to keep the axle tube from getting sprung backwards. The left side of the axle on mine starting banging against the stop at 60 hours. The solution was to tighten the bolt on the pivot pin - not sure how it would...

I pushed snow last year with a B3030 using a Woods rear blade and a front loader if I needed to move any piles. That's not much of a consideration here in central Ohio however. I've pushed snow with a rear blade for 20+ years and somehow I don't enjoy it that much anymore - just hate looking...

I am starting the 50 hour service on a ZD331. The owner's manual indicates that the transmission oil filter gets replaced at 50 hours and refers to page 62 for details. Page 62 shows TWO filters - both called transmission oil filters - making me wonder if I'm supposed to change one or both...

Can someone tell me what the installation & removal time is for the B2791 quick hitch? Does a sub assembly get bolted on to stay? Then the rest goes on/off with pins, or what???? And if the B2755 72" blade is parked on a dolly is it one-person job to install & remove that as well? Thanks...

I was told by the manager of one of the dealer reps (Columbus office) that Kubota released a dealer bulletin yesterday with a replacement program for the B2630/B3030 tractor seats. Can someone reply with a bulletin number, or even better still a scanned image of the bulletin???

Just thought I'd mention this to those of you that might be on Kubota's mailing list... Inside the safety mailer I received yesterday there was a rebate form for $300-$500 off the ZD300 series mowers - good until 5/31/07. I plan to get a ZD331, so I assume that will qualify for the $500...

I haven't used the FEL much at all yet and would like a response from somebody that may have done this. I would like to add a 15x30' parking area adjacent to my driveway. Using a B3030 and LA403 FEL will I be able to excavate the top 8"? I know that the dipping depth of the FEL is a...

Can someone else with a B3030 tell me what the rpm range is for idle and full throttle? Mine idles at about 950 which seems a tad bit high, and top speed is 2700 rpm, which seems a bit low. I realize that this effectively covers the normal operating range, but I'm particular about everything...

Just thought I'd check - does anyone within 200 miles of central Ohio has a 2320/2520 with 200CX FEL with low hours they'd like to sell? I have a new 2320/200CX priced but I will not be using it a lot and wouldn't mind buying used. Thanks.
