Oil & Fuel L2502 smokes really bad at cold start

Does your tractor smoke like that? I don't think power service will help but you can try..

Personally I wonder if it is the dealer or if there isn’t a bit of “buyers remorse” going on here

Are you using the glow plugs?

Yes

If you end up finding enough wrong with it, you will get all your money back and the dealer will owe you money!

I wish I never found anything wrong with it but it seems like this thing was made on Friday.

Yes

Yes but I wonder if I got a block heater would it help.

I’ll add to my Original post.this is not my video but my tractor acts similar to this. It’s not exceptable.

That's a lot of smoke. Like, I'd expect some from a machine without DPF, but that's a lot.

I would send it back to the dealer..

If you get on and goose it, increase the rpm and run the rpm up and down some after the first 20 or 30 seconds does it still act that way or does it "clear it's throat?"

Is yours an L2502 or l2501. 25 hp?

No, it is an earlier Kubota from an era with similar injection and emissions equipment to the 25 hp tractors made after 2014 and the introduction of the Tier IV emissions requirements in place now.

Looks like others have had the issue. One guy had a new fuel pump installed and it cleared up.

Tried that but it doesn’t clear. Reving it up warms the motor quicker so it does seem to stop smoking a bit quicker because the high revs warms the engine quicker.

Video is good but your spelling flat sucks...

Feel free to enlighten me, as I'm not seeing it; though I am curious as to what I'm missing.

Wow, a quick search shows this has been common on the 2502. It’s not a glitch, it’s a feature!

A feature?

A mosquito fogger?

Just hit up Duck Duck Go, and wow, that's unfortunate. I'd really hope that, whatever it is, is resolved.

I mean the Standard L is a bread and butter item, and the larger frame 25 horsepower machines are a big market segment. I'd presume this is a problem, and it's one that ought not be ignored.

Hey it's Kubota, they don't have to sell good machines, they told you exactly who is going out of business, and it's not them

You're blaming me for mistakes that aren't even mine; who are you, my father-in-law?
