Taking myself a ride today to get the filters and oil 50 hours service Mike.. brought mine home 32 days ago she will be ready by the beginning of this week.. good video

[@AkDadStuff]

Good luck!

[@GPOutdoors]

Thanks Mike. Good concise walkthrough. A suggestion that my dealer mechanic mentioned to me : when you check the hydraulic fluid level , it is best to check it with the loader in float and the 3 point hitch all the way down. Hope that helps. Cheers and thanks for sharing!

[@j.patenaude5969]

Great video. I decided to do my 50 hour at 41 hours before cold weather sets in and got some great tips from you and GP Outdoors. It's really great to see folks helping folks. Thank you again.

[@AkDadStuff]

Heyhey Glad I could help and thanks for watching

[@HomesteadEngineering]

Well thank you very much for this timely video. I have had my B2601 for about 6 months now and getting up around 35-40hrs. I will probably be doing this in a few months. Thanks!

[@isaacredditt3597]

Thank you sir for doing this video! I’m about to do my 50 hour service and was worried how to do it but know I know exactly how to do it! You rock!

[@AkDadStuff]

I am glad you found it useful and glad you have found my channel.

[@RCAFpolarexpress]

Good evening Sir, maintenance Job well done !!! Cheers !!!

[@KenAmmon]

Nice video on the 50 hour maintenance. I watched MyClutteredGarage video (just like yours) a day before I did my service and learned about the hydro filter oil "waterfall". My waterfall was the same as both of yours! I also enjoy GP Outdoors videos. I blew out the air filter with my compressor, it was pretty dusty, I may buy a new filter sometime this summer since our land is so dry right now. I don't know about other tractors, and this is my first tractor, but the B2601 seems to just sip fuel, it seems very efficient. Thanks again for sharing!

[@AkDadStuff]

Heyhey Ken I am glad the video was helpful. You are correct it sure doesnt use much fuel. Thanks for watching

[@HysTaRiCFiSHy]

“I may be slow but I do poor work” ha! You had me rolling.. I’ve used my B2601 twice in the couple weeks I’ve had it, having to wait for weather conditions, and have about 9 hours on mine already. Keep having fun, even I mean working!

[@TheChip416]

Thanks for this. I'm sitting on 48 hours now so I knew I had this coming up. Need to get to the Kubota dealer and get those filters.

[@AkDadStuff]

Glad I could help

[@rodgersadlk]

Thanks for the tutorial. As a new b2601 owner with a month of greenhorn experience. Very helpful.

[@AkDadStuff]

Het Dallas I appreciate you watching. I may not be the best guy to learn from but I try. Thanks again and enjoy that B2601 it's a great machine.

[@bighammer587]

No need to use the pre-heat in that mild weather. You’re shortening the life of your glow plugs for no reason 😊 Thanks for the video

[@WoodsTreeFarm]

Helpful video. "I may be slow, but I do poor work." LOL. Good one. I'll have to use that one. I don't have this tractor, but it caught my interest since I put up the 50hr vid for my L3901 a few months back.

[@HomesteadJay]

I loved that line too haha it was good!

[@JeffreyCurl]

Niagara falls on those lower filters...wow! Thank you for the walk through

[@JeffreyCurl]

*that filter

[@AkDadStuff]

Got to be fast

[@FromSteelToWood]

I always enjoy seeing Kubota owners change their hydraulic filters... It's kind of a competition of who is going to thread the filter the faster! Lol! But I should not laugh too much, as I changed mine for the first time on my Case after 16 years of use... (long story!) I like your 3 pt top link. Again, I should not go too far on this one because mine also looks like a boomerang! Thanks for sharing Mike!

[@HomesteadJay]

Hey Joe!

[@josimon6229]

Great video, I just did the 50 hr service on my BX23S and the engine oil filter was so tight I was sure I'd break something getting it off.

[@deanbarr5740]

Good job AK. I got 51 hours on my John Deere. My manual says to change engine oil and hydraulic oil and all 3 filters. I don't think a quart low even a qt. and a half on the hydraulics will cause any immediate damage as the hydraulic and hydrostatic transmissions hold about 5-6 gallons of hydraulic oil. I would most definitely top it off as soon as i could get the right brand of oil. I hope to get my service maintenance done as soon as i can. Thanks AK. 👍👍👍

[@0re02bruh]

Good learning video of the Kubota oil change

[@la435kubota]

The use of a vacuum on the Oil Inlet no doubt works well. Another thought is before removing the Oil Inlet rubber cap would be to grab the Breather tube next to it and suck a bit of vacuum on it then pinch it off with a clamp. Then go remove the Hydraulic HST filter and likely the loss of fluid would be minimal then too.

[@Mainly-boy-outdoors]

If you have a barn or garage you should do the oil change on a flat Surface at least that's how I was Taught to do that.

[@AkDadStuff]

I in the video it doesn't seem level but that spot is level. Thanks for watching

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Good video 👍

[@HomesteadJay]

Hey Hank!

[@senchief1990]

I've read where you can use a shop vacuum applied to the fill port, to minimize fluid lose. You need to make sure the area around the filter is clean so the vacuum doesn't pull any dirt into the filter port

[@AkDadStuff]

I ended up only losing a quart

[@MRnounoursSQ]

You made me remind that I'm at mi 450 hour need to change the engine oil .

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? If you look after your gear it'll look after you!!! Nice work on the 50 hour check buddy! Now you're ready to go. I need to change my engine and transmission oil too, but mine is for the 1000 hour maintenance!!! Take 'er easy!!

[@scottsorter7]

thank you sir

[@AkDadStuff]

Glad I could help

[@FISHH00KS]

.Mike, just did my 50 - thanks for preparing me, but what a mess on that hydraulic filter. I guess I'll be headed to ESI in the a.m.

[@AkDadStuff]

I am glad I could help. ESI is a great place we are lucky to have them. Thanks for watching

[@philedwards1460]

touch and roll the hyd. fluid dipstick to your arm and you can see the level easier.

[@A2dy]

HAHA at the Scotty Kilmer reference.

[@AkDadStuff]

Haha I love Scotty

[@charlesmach7511]

With the radiator hose hitting the oil filter its look like you might be able to disconnect the hose from the radiator and cut maybe 1/2" off the hose and reconnect the hose. It might pull the hose away from the filter. It is really hard to tell from the camera angle. Good luck.

[@eesquib3]

Great video. What kind of pocket knife was that? The deployment was fast and sounded crisp

[@AkDadStuff]

It is a Kershaw. Thanks for watching

[@msgt1942]

Your 3 point was all the way up. My understanding is loader if you have one and 3 point should be all the way down or you will get a low reading because your fluid is inside the cylinders. If you do it the way your doing it then top it off. You will actually have too much which is not good.

[@shisholy7828]

Hi, great video. 1week and my baby is delivered. Curious, was that radiator level pink fluid in tank low? Love the sound of that engine,

[@AkDadStuff]

Hey Shish Oly nah it wasn't low . Its not supposed to be full. Thanks for watching

[@toddbenfield6546]

Should you not change your transmission fluid? According to the service interval that I got. Would love to just change filters👌nice video

[@AkDadStuff]

Hey Todd the manual doesn't call for transmission fluid change until 400 hours. Just filters. Thanks for watching

[@GeorgeMH3]

Was it the angle of the view, or is your top link bent? My bottom right got bent some how...

[@AkDadStuff]

Top link is bent. . Its been bent a long time. LOL

[@0re02bruh]

AK so how much hydro did you need to fill it back up to full

[@AkDadStuff]

Only one quart

[@0re02bruh]

@@AkDadStuff ok you added I thought you had to add more

[@AkDadStuff]

@@0re02bruh After I put the loader it all came back to good

[@CAOHnutrition]

Is that yellow cord for your block heater?

[@AkDadStuff]

Yes it is also it is an oil heater

[@BigDog-xj8ol]

Would you buy the 2601 again? Thanks

[@AkDadStuff]

Without question I would. It has been a solid, rugged , fun and dependable machine that has done more than I probably should have done with it. Never an issue, not one. Thanks for watching

[@bighammer587]

Any idea if the procedures are the same for my 2650? Anyone? Thanks

[@AkDadStuff]

Very close. If not exactly the same

[@ML-lg4ky]

If my filter is crowded like that I’ll be pissed!

[@AkDadStuff]

If it a 2601 it will be just like that

[@diesel8762]

So you thought the higher filter would poor more fluid? Dang gone guess ive been wrong understanding gravity all these years...

[@AkDadStuff]

I wasn't thinking about it that way at the time. And I was upside down myself. Good point though . Thanks for watching.

[@HomesteadJay]

Hey Ak! Hope all is well! I have a BX24 and I need to overhaul it too! I have a similar channel with tractor stuff, firewood, construction and so on! Check out my channel! I subbed to yours as well! Looking forward to chatting!
