Good job! Seems your racking up the hours pretty quick doing those farm roads. 😀 thank you for the tips!

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Haha! Yep, I was on my tractor almost constantly this past summer. :) Good to see you again. Thanks for watching!

[@brucelarcombe3229]

Thanks Dave, very informative, particularly the fuel filter, should help when I tackle mine. Enjoy the rain. 😊

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Hi Bruce! Thank you, sir! The fuel filter cleaning part of the manual is pretty vague in places. I got a couple more tips: Use needle nose pliers to remove the element. I've seen others use small screwdrivers (and that works) but the pliers work much better in my opinion. Hold your catch bucket up high as soon as you start to remove the filter bowl because once it gets loose enough, the fuel that's still under a bit of pressure will start to gush. Thanks for watching!

Don't know how I missed this video! But I've watched it now. Good comprehensive video. Thanks for sharing Cheers.

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Thank you, Ross. I appreciate you watching. :)

[@tomvonkamecke7136]

Nicely organized

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Hi Tom! Thank you very much. Thanks for watching and I hope to see you around!

[@tomvonkamecke7136]

It made me get on my tractor to do some trail work myself.

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

@@tomvonkamecke7136 That's great! I'd love to see your trails and land!

Very good job David

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Thank you, Mike! I really appreciate it.

Excellent guide on Kubota maintenance👍 I like your use of angles, different shots and the way you edited it all together. Professional tractor therapy at its finest 😃👍

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Thanks, Dana I appreciate it! I thought this video was going to be a quick one but I had so much footage and so many angles it took about a week to edit! I'm happy you enjoyed it. See you soon!

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

Amazing video David, it felt like I was watching a official Kubota maintenance video oh and the Halloween bucket…cute 😉👍🏻. Have a great one 🙂🙋🏼‍♂️👍🏻

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Hi Luc! Thank you very much, sir! Hey, it was Halloween! LOL Thanks for watching, buddy.

Thank you, Dave! That really means a lot coming from a maintenance master such as you! I appreciate it very much, kind sir! Thank you for watching :) See you on the next one!

[@FabbedFun]

Very professional looking video! Great job!

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Thank you, Logan!

[@bhall7997]

Great Video :) I hate to admit this I have no idea when I checked front tire pressure last :( Noticed moving dirt they seemed to squat.. yep down 7 lbs. Turfs are back up to 22 lbs.

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Hi again! Thank you for your kind words! I'm surprised that tire pressure/tire checks are not part of the daily or regular maintenance schedules. The manual basically just says to keep an eye on them and service as needed. Thanks for reminding us!

[@ww3ok]

I have a B2601 with about 60 hrs. I’ll bookmark this video for 100 hr. reference. Thanks.

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Hi Gary! That's great 👍 I hope it's helpful to you. Thanks for watching!

[@khtractors]

Excellent job! These type videos are some of my favorite to watch. No matter how experienced we are at doing maintenance on equipment from time to time people will share tips you never thought about. My battery on the M6060 still shows green but being 6 years old I’m expecting it to fail at anytime. Take care!

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Hi Ben! Thank you kindly, sir! I agree. I watch all sorts of maintenance videos about machines that I don't even own - I think it's therapeutic and you can pick up a lot of good tips from others! Thanks for watching and I'll see you soon!

[@DIYMyWay]

Well done, David! This should be a big help to B2601 owners!

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Thank you Martin! I sure hope so! Thank you for watching 😁

[@HeritageFarmsTexas]

That is a nice shop. I’m jealous. Good job on the maintenance. Not sure if Luc or yourself keeps their tractor the cleanest. Looks good.

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Thank you Scott! I'm going to have to say Luc wins that one. Mine is filthy right now after working in the rain and the mud. Haha. Thank you for watching buddy!

[@ritterjon]

💥 Hey Dave! You really do a nice job using multiple cameras and your audio is fantastic. Nicely done video as well. You’re raising the bar. 👍 *Keep on tractoring!*

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Hey Jon! Thank you, sir I really appreciate your kind words! There are so many outdoors and Kubota creators in this community that inspire me every day! Thank you for watching and I hope to see you soon!

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

Hello there David!!! You have done a great job on the 100 hour maintenance. Some of the checks are tedious but you got to them and your tractor will thank you for the effort!!! LOL Good looking sticker there buddy!! It will look good on my wall I bet!!! Take care!!

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Hello Mike! Yep, it will look great on your wall! :) I got a letter from Canada in the mail today, I hope it's what I think it is! Thanks for watching, buddy :)

[@6DOutdoors]

Great job David, looks like we kind of had the same idea for a video 🙂 Keep up the great work. Your channel is looking good 👍. Take care.

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Hi Kyle! Yep, I noticed that too. LOL Thanks for the kind words, man. I appreciate it! You take care, too.

[@HomeWithTheBuffingtons]

I do not have an Orange tractor or even a green tractor (mine is red) but this was a very informative video. Great quality and editing. Found you from Luc's channel (Orange is my new Green).

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Hey 👋! I love all tractors. Thanks for the compliment and for joining my part of this community. Luc is a great guy and I love his channel! I've subscribed to your channel and will see you over there! Thanks for watching! - David

[@HomeWithTheBuffingtons]

@@PaleHorseOutdoors Luc is definitely a great guy and very supportive. I appreciate you subscribing to my channel Hopefully this city boy moving to the country brings some entertainment to you.

[@billgammon8734]

I'm preparing to do the 100 hour service on my B2601 and going over the procedure (my first tractor). On the fuel filter cleaning, can you use anything other than kerosene? I don't have any use for kerosene, so I don't have any on hand. Thank you for the informative video!

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Hi Bill! There are other solvents for cleaning parts that are similar to kerosene, but I don't know if they would be appropriate for the filter material. And you'd be in the same boat of having a quantity of fluid that you don't use for anything else. Those filters and filter assemblies are really cheap though. I've read that a lot of people just replace it each time (along with new rings). If you come up with a good alternative, let me know! Thanks for watching. :)

[@billgammon8734]

@@PaleHorseOutdoors I'll keep you posted. By the way, what's that ballast box you have on your tractor in the video?

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

@@billgammon8734 Thanks, sir! That's the WB1099 Weight Box. I really like it because it's size and shape let me maintain maneuverability in the woods. The only thing it's missing is a 2" hitch receiver but there's plenty of room to add one.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Man, Dave. Kubota should just give you the $20k+ they would have paid to produce this video. Great job! Nice stickers, and hey what size pole building is that?

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Hey Ed! I really wish they would! LOL Thank you so much for your kind words. I really do appreciate it, buddy. The building is 36x48. It's nice and roomy, but I wish it was 60' long so I could have an inside attachments bay. I think we're just going to extend the roof over the rear pad similar to Martin's one day. Thanks again, man! Take care

[@thegreatnorthwoodswithbb6513]

Did you end up finding your fuel filter small o-ring? wasn't still on the fuel bowl housing was it? Good video you take care of them and they will take care of you

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

No, I couldn't find it anywhere so I bought a new set and a new filter. Thanks for watching!!

[@johncourtenay1730]

Loved the video but Please do a better job filming the fuel line clamps. Btw, is there a cap that can be open to bleed the air out of the fuel line? Thanks
