Long story short, I am getting rid of my 42" cut zero turn because of issues on modest slopes. I am looking to replace it with the Cub steering wheel type ztr. I'm fine with the 42" cut I currently have, due to tight spaces, lots of small trees to circle, and not that much grass really to mow...

Wall Control is sturdy steel pegboard available in various colors, and it's helping me get control of my workbench in the tractor shed. I picked orange to honor my Kubota, with some blue fixtures like the paper towel holder. Nicely painted, Wall Control looks more expensive than it is. Internet...

Today I was doing a fall service on my B2601, and when I checked the hydraulic oil I noticed the tip of the dipstick appears to have been sheared off. There are supposed to be two indicator pegs—as I recall and from watching YouTube videos of others' services—and the bottom one is gone. The end...

I am interested in this smaller zero turn because we have a tight, irregular lawn for the most part. But I wonder what the pros and cons are of this being at the bottom of the 231 lineup. It has a Kawasaki engine, 21.5 hp, which seems fine for my needs. It seems that in other brands the smaller...

When fueling up about 3 weeks ago at the corner station, a clump of snow fell into my fuel tank. The clump must've been somewhere on the handle above the nozzle. I didn't see it until it fell. It sat before my amazed eyes for an instant between the nozzle and the rim of the tank opening. The...

I've been irritated recently because when lifting my blade or bucket from the ground, my loader stops, jerks, and stutters. Come to find out, I'M doing it! My 3rd function buttons are on the front of the joystick knob (see photo). My fingers tend to at least brush the buttons when I lift my...

We are getting heavy snow now in SW VA. Snow is really piling up. Then we are supposed to get "heavy freezing rain" at 4 p.m., then back to snow. What do you all think of this strategy: let it pile up and wait till 5 p.m. to plow? Hard to see it keep piling up, but if I go out and plow...

Minor question; minor issue. But one I face anew. I bent the top link that came with my tractor so got a new beefy one from Heavy Hitch. My old one had a zerk fitting in the middle of the tube. So you keep some grease in there to help lubricate the threads as the top link's ends are screwed in...

I have been planning to get a Land Pride Quick Hitch, partly because most of my rear attachments for my B2601 are Land Pride so far. However, I am looking for a Woods Brush Bull cutter and the regional Woods salesman has a Woods Quick Hitch (TQH1) he's eager to sell. The price beats Land Pride...

Hi All, Have just started kicking a few tires. I contacted three VA Kubota dealerships and one got back to me with a quote. I wonder if a B2601 for $15,000 and a LA435 loader for $4,225 and a 54" midmount mower for $2,400 is a decent price? If I do cash, Kubota and cash incentives total...

Hi folks, I am shopping for a rotary cutter for a JD 1025R and saw this dual-wheel model at Rural King. What I liked was that it appeared noticeably shorter than the regular single-wheel model. More compact and close to the tractor. My concern is whether it would be more likely to bog down in...

I have been tractorless for over a decade but am now living on 7 acres and next door to my daughter's 20 acres in SW Virginia. I have owned three tractors, two Kubotas and a Deere. All were satisfactory and had no problems. The mistake I made was not getting a loader. Could have really used it...

Hi all: I am in the VERY early stage of trying to decide what Kubota model to get for my new property. In looking at dimensions, I wonder why the ROPS on the BX models is so tall? 87.2 inches on the BX2370 and 2670. My garage and outbuilding doors are 7 feet/84 inches, which means I'll need to...

Hi all, I am going to look at a Walco Douglas 72 inch rear discharge mower, new priced at $1,500. Also an air tunnel side discharge 72 inch Bush Hog, a demo slightly used for about $1,750 (he has new for $1,950). The same dealer has both lines and offers good service. I am going to see them...

Hi all, I need to be able to mow my pastures after rotational grazing by my 50 ewes, now with 75 lambs, and sometimes take down the grass that hasn't been grazed when it is getting too tall and shading out clover. I have a base of tall fescue and want to be able to mow it to 2 inches---this...

Has anyone compared these two tractors closely? Their hydraulic specs are almost identical as far as gpm and capacity, making me think loader operations would be the same, but the 5030 does have a higher 3 pt lift capacity. Also, how much difference does the extra 5 hp of the L5030 make in...

Hey, I love the Kubota forums and decided to tell a story that's been on my mind for some reason. About 15 years ago on our property in southern Indiana we had a pond dug. Had a great old excavator named Walt Taylor dig it, mostly with his little dozer. He noticed I had a Kubota and to my...
