Kubota B2650: HST Filters Change

[@alanjackson4397]

I never heard about using the vacuum that is a great idea

[@ForestToFarm]

Its works!! Thanks for watching. Terry

[@CanadianBrewingChannel]

I have the same tractor and will be replacing my HST filter soon. The manual does not mention about using a vacuum and I have seen other videos change the HST filter without a vacuum. Is is really needed? Thanks!

[@ForestToFarm]

For us I tried it without the vac. It was gonna dump a good bit of fluid. With the vac we lost very little. I would use it but you could just add fluid after you finish the filter change. Good luck! Terry

[@tomruotsalainen5909]

Which side is the dang hst filter on

[@ForestToFarm]

Sorry. Left side. Terry

[@jamesmcbride2855]

I’m curious which filter went top and which filter went bottom of 660 and 670. The old filters will probably be marked..

[@ForestToFarm]

Hey. Sorry I just now saw this. I will try to check on that. I don’t remember now. Thanks for watching! Terry

[@Raymo853inLeDroit]

Any worry about the vacuum causing the system to build up too much air in the fluid? Also, is having to change some of the fluid a good thing?

[@ForestToFarm]

I personally do not have any concern. I don't think adding a small amount of fluid would make much difference either way but its better than the used fluid already in there so it can't hurt, lol. Terry

[@smp22]

Thanks for posting this, really helpful.

[@ForestToFarm]

Glad to help!! Terry

[@mikecioka1180]

A vacuum work. When I did it I lost 1.8 liters :( i wonder if the vacuum did suck any fluid?

[@ForestToFarm]

Wow that is a lot of fluid. Could there have been a leak prior to changing? The vacuum worked great for us. You have to hold it so a bit of air slips around the hose. At least that is what we did. Terry

[@mark98070]

So wouldn't you just drain the old oil out & replace it while doing a filter change?

[@ForestToFarm]

They only require a filter change at this stage. Next round its filter and oil. Terry

[@foldingchaise8387]

Very cool with the vacuum , thanks for the video !!!!

[@ForestToFarm]

Your welcome! And yes I works well!! Terry

[@rogerhodge1146]

I like to write the hours in each new filter so you know when it was previously changed. Enjoy your vids and the good and encouraging relationship you two have.

[@ForestToFarm]

Thanks! Good idea. I guess we are not your typical father son of the modern times but its working great for us! Two men with a common goal and who care about each other can accomplish great things when working together. We do not fight over who has to do something but rather who gets to do it. Terry

[@ForestToFarm]

Hey Doug I am a dummy when it comes to abbreviations. What does "aa" mean?

[@mr.pickle6777]

Forest To Farm it means nothing type o that got posted I deleted it now did not know I had even typed anything.

[@ForestToFarm]

Lol, thanks Doug. I thought I was missing something. Terry

[@GruntGuitar]

Yep, all filters should have date and hours written on them.

[@t-6273]

I always keep enough hydro fluid on hand to refill the system. Same with the engine oil and filters. They cost a bit but a definitely worth keeping around. Never even thought about the vacuum trick. Great idea! I also just watched a video from another owner who had his loader hoses rubbing on the bracket that keeps them from flopping around where they loop to connect to the tractor. The Kevlar sleeve had slid down the hoses and left them exposed to the metal and they got all chewed up. Figured I'd mention that to you just in case. Great video, Keep up the great work!

[@ForestToFarm]

Thanks! And thanks for the heads up on the hoses. I have heard of that but have failed thus far to remedy the situation. Maybe I will remember this time, ha ha. Lots going on here. Terry

[@iFly4BBQ]

Another great instructional video. Thanks so much! Now I’m kinda looking forward to changing these on my B2650. These little tractors are so easy to work on.

[@ForestToFarm]

No problem. And thank you! Glad we could help! Nothing to it. This was our first time doing it. We learn fast, ha ha. If you are on facebook check out our "Kubota B2650 Enthusiasts" group. Lots of good people there and lots of great info being shared. Terry

[@lcee6592]

Great video! Very informative and will certainly take a lot of “ guesswork” (and mess) out of changing these filters! You guys are the real deal and thanks for keeping it real!👍

[@ForestToFarm]

Thank you! Terry

[@camb1802]

good video I always try to put some fluid in the filter before I install

[@ForestToFarm]

Thanks and good idea! Terry

[@trumpzilla4193]

Thanks - just about to do my 50 hour - very helpful!

[@ForestToFarm]

Your welcome! Terry

[@mattswanairllc7386]

Very helpful. Thanks for doing this video.

[@ForestToFarm]

Your welcome. We enjoy doing them. Glad to help. Terry

[@hughhyndman]

Thank you. During the COVID-19 isolations, I decided to do the first 50 hour service on my MX5800 myself. Your video explained everything well and I will have my wife hold the shop-vac to reduce oil loss. One thing, I was surprised that you were wearing such clean trousers and didn't get a spot of oil on them. I wear my worst jeans!

[@ForestToFarm]

You are welcome! Glad to be pf help. Yeah I do pretty good about keeping clean. I usually try to wear older cloths though. Terry

[@greggdell4677]

As always a very well done informative video, thanks for the time you take to make them.

[@ForestToFarm]

Thanks Gregg! We enjoy doing them and hope people can learn from us doing this. Its a lot of fun making them. For a pro its probably not so great but for rookies such as ourselves its nice to see the basics when doing things for the first time. Terry

[@deanbarr5740]

Good job guys. I learn alot from You Tube. Your posts are always a welcome. Thanks so much Terry and Brian, appreciate you both.

[@ForestToFarm]

Thanks Dean! We appreciate the comments. Terry

[@johnhernan1122]

Thanks guys for sharing.

[@ForestToFarm]

No problem. Thanks for watching! Terry

[@dunner8125]

Vacuum does work...had to use on a Cummins to change the the oil drain plug after we already put new oil in n had leak

[@ForestToFarm]

I agree it works well. Terry

[@lucky13farms99]

Maybe I missed it in your video but did you run the tractor, then check the fluid? That filter was empty when you installed it.

[@ForestToFarm]

yes

[@dubyajay7860]

Feel like buying you a better filter wrench. That was painful to watch.

[@ForestToFarm]

Ha ha, We will gladly accept!! Thanks for watching!! Terry

[@codyf3249]

Gotta keep that pointing finger safe! Great video.

[@ForestToFarm]

Its very valuable! LOL! Thanks! Terry

[@garydietzel6730]

Enjoy these videos especially when I have the same tractor as you. Good information to show and how to. Your maintenance book seems more than what is in the owners manual. Is that available online or somewhere? Thanks.

[@ForestToFarm]

Thanks! Yes it is online. Its a PDF file downloadable. I think it is actually the same book but we printed it out on one side so there is twice the number of pages making it look bigger. We printed the book/manual so we can keep the actual manual safe and clean. Terry

[@garydietzel6730]

Thank you Terry. I'll check my manual.

[@ForestToFarm]

Hey Gary, Here is the download link to the manual. I am pretty sure you can get all their tractors there. Sorry it took so long. Been extremely busy here. Terry kubota.ca/getmedia/82f4431d-325f-40b3-805c-45f2c62b4f22/B2650%C2%B7B3350%C2%B7B3350SU-OM-EN-6C41063113?ext=.pdf

[@garydietzel6730]

Thanks again Terry, appreciate it. Yes, you are busy. Enjoying your videos.

[@walt1064]

Just remember to clean the suction strainer

[@ForestToFarm]

That would be a good idea. Thanks! Terry

[@RichardGilbert2727]

@@ForestToFarm Where is that strainer? I don't see a reference to it in my B2601 manual. Also, is the 80 mm socket for those filters the size needed for that cap or what?

[@RobShutt357]

You need to change the title of your video to “how to change your bad boy on the Kubota” 😂

[@ForestToFarm]

Lol it may get a few views . :) Terry

[@frankg6563]

When I bought my filters from my Kubota dealer, he warned me about the loss of hydraulic fluid. He said to have the new filter ready in hand and be quick. I was as fast as possible and still had to top the trans off with 2 quarts. Next time..the shop vac!

[@ForestToFarm]

Thanks! Very glad you told us that! We ended up using a quart. The quart was not quite full and the tractor was in the safe zone but not at the top level. It was in the middle roughly. So loos like we saved maybe a quart based on what you are saying by using the vacuum. The biggest advantage was we did not have to rush. The air flow into the filter inlet held that fluid back. Terry

[@scottjenkins4613]

The filters alone probably hold a quart

[@ForestToFarm]

That sounds about right to me. Terry

[@GruntGuitar]

Let's face it, it's mickey mouse at best. Not a problem you have with Case or John Deer, that's for sure. In any event, you can't just pour fluid into the reservoir and check the dip, it has to be run each time after you add. It's in the manual, so RTFM ;)

[@ForestToFarm]

Thanks for the input!

[@tsts437]

apparently mini mouse didn't watch till the end where he stated it still needs to be run and checked again cause the filter were empty.... also mini mouse it says right in the manual step 4 fill till its at the upper line step 5 run the engine for a few minutes then add more till its where it need to be.... don't be a puss all your life mini mouse
