Great video as usual. The winter temperatures here in Montana often dip well below zero. While I store my tractor indoors, it's not heated. Even with glow plugs my L3560 starts SO much easier after an hour or two plugged in to the block heater. FYI. About 20 air miles from my house on Rogers Pass is a sign that says it saw the lowest temperature in the lower 48. Minus 70º F. It's not unusual for it to get down to the minus 20s or even minus 30s here. Sometimes it gets so cold the lawyers and politicians have their hands in their own pockets!

Just bought a New Holland Workmaster. I had an old tractor so already had a standard rear blade, bush hog, and rake. But I wanted a loader which I couldn’t get for my old tractor. New tractor with new loader, done, right? Thankfully I had a young honest sales rep. He recommended I get the third function. I had no idea how important that was. I didn’t know I really wanted a grapple. Man, game changer. I’ve had the new tractor three weeks and in that time I’ve probably used the grapple 10-12 hours. All these years of dragging things around. No more. My neighbor had a box blade and I had used it enough to know I wanted one. By the way NH has skid steer quick connects on the loader. I also got a quick hitch. Yeah I could do without it but as inexpensive as they are, why? Tires filled, check! Wheel weights, check!

I thought I would regret not getting a backhoe, but I couldn't justify the expense. I haven't missed it, yet. If I do run across the need, a local tool rental will be the answer. My dealer included fluid filling the tires as standard delivery prep, no extra cost.

BLOCK HEATER I have a 1025R in southern Illinois last year I could not start my tractor for about two weeks even with putting a heat tape wrapped around the block and a couple heat lamps on it under a tarp it was so cold. I had my diesel treatment in so it will not go up. And it still did not want to start. And last year was extreme cold. I have my block heater and now it is very handy since I have installed a Curtis cab and want the heater for the cab available when I start it up I don’t have to sit there and wait for it to warm up for 10 minutes. I find that it saves me time and fuel warm and ready to go I also installed a trickle charger everything goes to one plug. Keep that battery warm through the cold months save you having to buy a battery later. Prolongs the life of your battery.

I had a1984 Ford truck that I bought at a dealership used. It didn't drive properly. Pulled hard to the right. I took it to the dealer for an alignment. $900 later, the truck still pulled to the right. The service dept manager said to fix it they would have to bend the swing arms. I said that's not happening. He said a bit of pull was required for safety so if you fell asleep at the wheel, you would not keep going down the road. What a load of 🐂💩. I then took it to a frame shop. Told them what the dealer had told me. They took a look and 5 minutes later their service tec called me out to the truck. He told me to get 2 new front tires. They were different sized. the size on the tires was the same, but different manufactures. These were the tires on the truck when I bought it. I went back to the dealer, but could not get my money back. Haven't done business with them again.

Great video as always. Where I live, block heaters seem to be standard from the dealership. I’m sure if you ordered a tractor, you could get one without. With our block heater, our tractor starts in the winter exactly like it does in the summer. But to me, the greatest benefit is that warm up time is reduced significantly. I can be plowing snow pretty quickly after starting the tractor.

I store my tractor outside and I'm in snow country. The block heater helps get the tractor started and warmed up quicker. As for the self levelling, I don't think you need it unless you have a business that requires unloading or loading pallets all the time. On tires, I had R1 Ag tires on my old tractor. My new tractor has R4 tires. I wish I had bought R1 tires. Traction is greatly reduced on the R4. The benefit of not making as much of a depression in my yard is not worth it. Courtney's advice is so true. I bought a new tractor and upgraded for all the reasons he said.

I bought a brand-new John dear tractor in 1978 and I did not get external hydraulics at the time I didn't know what they were. Several years later I started bailing hay and using that tractor as the rake tractor . Now obviously I had to retrofit external hydraulics onto and I never did like him they were expensive to handle just flop around it took them two weeks to put them on. I also did not order rear-wheel weights that I was fortunate enough to have a brother at work to the pipe yard and got me some 24-inch pipe with a six-inch wall thickness so I made my own weights. The interesting thing is I still use that same 950 tractor to rake hay today.

The Kubota LA854 loader on my tractor is self levelling. It seems fine to me though I don’t have pallet forks, yet. I can’t compare it to a non self levelling loader as I don’t have access to another tractor without a self levelling loader. In any case loaders are such a wonderful implement. Yesterday with the bucket I scraped away around six bucket loads of topsoil from one part of the farm to use on another. So much work done that would be really hard by hand. Getting extra hydraulic circuits installed by the dealer when purchasing a new tractor makes so much sense. You’d be saving cents on buying a new tractor without extra circuits and spending dollars to get them installed later.
@acdii2 жыл бұрын
On the L4060 HSTC-LE I ordered, the rear remotes are the same price as the actual kit you can buy afterwards and labor would be the same price since they are dealer installed. Maybe it is different with Deere and they are factory installed, but Kubota would be no different in cost if you get them installed new or after already having it. If you decided on 1 remote installed, then later on decided to add two more, now it will cost you more as they have to do the same work twice, so you pay double the labor. If you buy multiple options to be installed, like air ride seat, rear remotes, anything that requires in cab work, it is better to have it all done at the same time as labor is less. I plan to install the 3rd function and QA remote myself, kit price is same minus install fee if bought new.

@@braxtonwiggins6576 Labor on mine was only $600 to install all the rear remotes, but I will be installing the 3rd function/QA remote myself. Reason I had them install the rears is because the case is cracked open under the seat to install it, and would rather they do that for warranty reasons than if I did it and something went wrong with the hydraulics. Cheap insurance. Otherwise I would do it myself as well. The 3rd function and QA remote doesn't involve cracking the case open.

Unless you are buying the tractor strictly as a glorified lawn mower with no plans of using it as a actual tractor that would be fine however if you plan to use it like most people do as a Swiss army knife and do a little bit of everything the $2,000 optional mower deck I do not think is worth it as you can buy a brand new zero-turn which is much faster and more maneuverable for just a little bit more money plus the mid-mount mower is always in the way when you're trying to do something other than cutting grass not to mention it is a pain to take on and off

I have the 72" auto connect mower deck on my 2038r and I am not a fan. I find that if I don't remove my loader first that the parking stand hits the front arm on the mower deck making it hard to install and impossible to remove without someone holding the front bracket on the deck down so it clears the parking stand on the loader. The grass (especially dry grass) gets into the radiator screen and I have to stop and clean it often. With that being said I love mowing with my tractor much better than with my 0-turn mower. My tractor rides much smoother and I have much less fatigue. Also on my tractor I am much higher than on my 0-turn mower and that puts me up out of the dirt.

The MSL loaders seem to have less curl than the comparable NSL loaders which is a big deal when moving material with the bucket. The increased lift capacity with the MSL is just mechanical advantage of that type of lift mechanism. If you mostly move hay bales and pallets then the MSL is probably a better option. If you are going to do mostly bucket work then I’d lean toward the regular loader.

I see almost all MSL loaders do not curl back as far. This means less full bucket loads, and is a problem with round bale spears - the spear can't hold the bale on as well when picked up in the field, especially if on a little downhill incline.

As usual, your "point & counter-point" items are well made. I couldn't agree more! The MSL vs NSL comparison gave me a bit of a chuckle. My LX2610 has a wonderful feature built in with joy stick to enable MSL function when you need it. Something I think only Kubota has. It is a fantastic feature!!!

I filled the tires at home with -30 windshield washer fluid and a fill adapter to go on a small pump. I added arm rest too. The upgrade was a ridiculous price.

Your channel would have been helpful in 2000 when I bought my New Holland Boomer. The tractor has been a great tractor but at the time I had a skid steer and did not need a loader but in hind site I wish I would of bought the loader hydraulics so now to add a loader the only option is a valve that is attached to the loader frame and not on the tractor fender witch would be more user friendly .

I'm not sure how this works, but if you change the size of the rear tires, don't you have to put on a set of compatible front tires also? Changing the diameter will affect the way the front wheel assist synchs the front and rear tires. If that is the case, you should mention that also when bringing up changing rear tires. Love your videos! Keep up the "Good Work"!

Kubota LX2610 has two different offered size tires aswell. If you go with the larger size they say you cannot use the mower deck because of clearance. Clearance and weight gain and not ever planning to use the tractor to mow sold me on the larger size tires.
@mwt35792 жыл бұрын
Retiring in a couple years and looking at a Kubota 4760. On their "Build My Kubota" feature, on the rear remotes it gives you a choice between two types, a Float Detent and a Double Acting Valve. What is the difference between the two? (I'm looking at mine as a general utility tractor: mowing/ brush hogging, food plot prep and planting, general property maintenance)
@court23792 жыл бұрын
Float detent allows you to push the lever past the normal operating position and the valve falls into the detent where it stays out on it's own. The fluid is free to pass in that position and is not pressurized, so an attached implement can "float" (named assuming it is something that follows the ground which is the primary use). The other sounds like a standard two direction valve. My tractor came with one of each, but what I wish it had was a valve with a detent that was powered. Useful for things with a remote valve like a log splitter, backhoe, or any hydraulic motor. I think they typically just route a line directly from the pump to cover that use instead (if purchased) but then it has no valve to control it.
