Kubota diesel -4*F Cold Start

[@Holden-McGroin]

These old Kubotas are amazing machines. Mine fired without even cranking after sitting in the corner of a garage for a year untouched. Just touched the key after 20 seconds preheat and it came to life. I will put it to the test cold starting this winter.

[@Edricofifrit]

I miss my Kubota. It was very old, like 1980-ish. I used to drive it to the store as a kid. Rain, sleet, snow, whatever, just give the old glow plugs a few seconds and she'd fire right up. Never had too many problems out of the old beast... A freeze plug here, a new clutch there, had to change the ignition out because of a short (during that time I just had it hotwired lol). Was a great running tractor, had a tiller and bush hog for it.

[@Jthumper]

yup, kubota rocks- just picked up a 2010 2320 and love it- I must also admit that my old john deere 855 started at 10F with no pre-heating this winter- amazed me

[@crimson22s]

any diesel can start up when you hold the damn glow plug switch down for 10 hours. my toro will start up after about 10 seconds of preheating it in like 3 degrees F

[@jameslandon4126]

I own a 1978 Kubota B7100D 4wd and I've never had issues starting in the cold. I've had this tractor now for 8 years and here in Western NY we have weeks on end that average -30 without windchill and my tractor starts just fine as long as my battery is on a trickle charger and I use my block heater before starting.

[@KennethFKlein]

kubota has to be one of the best running tractors out there running neck and neck with case IH and FORD/New Holland

[@joshmclarty1704]

I love my Kubota it starts great plenty of power an it is great I love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Sketchyoffroadfilms]

thanks for posting this video!!! LONG LIVE KUBOTA!!!

[@gasman7777]

nice! that thing fired up great for a diesel that cold! awsome video man!

[@komododragon2007]

Hey, It's His Kubota... A, I Think He Knows How To Start It.. Good Video 5 star start up.

[@steeve1bmx]

i work for a kubota dealer in montreal canada we get temps that go below -30F and we still get them to start no problemo as solid as a tank

[@JasonWaterfalls13]

Great vid, as usual. Its been consitantly -15 or below hear in MI lately. Where gonna have a heat wave tommorow, 19 degrees!.....ahhh o well.

[@bruced1429]

on the newer Kubota. tractors its only a few seconds preheat, I have never plugged mine in in the 12yrears I have owned it and I live in Canada , mine is a L3130 2004 model. just a few seconds preheat and the light for the glow plugs goes out and you start her up.Original battery too.

[@05clenharth]

those kubota's are renound for needing 1 min as they are cold blooded

[@jsjdjjjdj8257]

Had to do that with my kabota tractor and it works like a charm kinda

[@MrShawn305]

what model engine does that tractor have? I just picked up a Kubota D905 3cylinder and I love it. Solid engine. 5114 hours on the clock and still starts no problem!

[@finno123456]

My dad has a vw transporter diesel heating the plugs about three times does. No harm to it it gets the engine started. Vw are bugga to start in cold mornings. Specially diesels

[@dirtygerdee]

ive got a 5740 kubota here in michigan and mine has no problem stating in the cold. auto glowplugs on for roughly 10 sec and away it fires

[@KB3MMX]

Kubota, the best tractors out there !!

[@andrewdevault2148]

We're did u get the steering wheel center cap that says Kubota I can't find one any we're and mines missing

[@allenjanoch]

i have a ford one it a 1620 and i have not use the glow pugs in it and it never fail me to start even when it is 30f

[@MrMoterKid]

Woo! Fired right up!

[@jovanlopez90]

great cold start is it a tractor or snow plow?

[@ebtowne]

my kubota manual says that in temps of 5 degrees f or less to preheat for 8 seconds so i asked the dealer and he sayed that if you preheat for 2 long you'll burn out the glow plugs

[@moveitback1]

Are the new 2501 any good like the old ones I got a chance to get a 01 for 11900 or new for 16 0finance about same payment

[@JTyler52]

you shouldnt need a minute worth of glow plugs, even on an older diesel. Glow plugs heat up real quick. You might want to invest in new glow plugs which wont cost much. Yours couldnt be burnt out and old. should need no more then 10 seconds of glow plugs.

[@dirtbikerider1013]

i have a john deere with a yanmar diesel it starts -25 and colder with out glow plugs i have never used the glow plugs

[@nachos1990]

What kind of golf cart. What did u use for a transmission?

[@brian93ist]

hi what is the model number on this tractor i looked at a l2550 but i think this is newer

[@chrishinkle5725]

need to replace battery what size cold cranking amps?

[@67tr876]

nice start

[@GDSPARTAN]

what happens if you replace the glow plugs with spark plugs

[@bubbaherrera5079]

PLEASE WAIT TO START

[@brian93ist]

@steeve1bmx they are great tractor if there took care of i am considering buying a l2550 i think thats the number there are lots of numbers for kubota tractors

[@kclm7]

I used to have a B7100 4x4 many years ago. It was an early 80's model. Always started no matter how cold. I now have a 2002 JD 4200 HST and I think that little Kubota could out pull this JD with 12 less HP. Pretty sad!

[@crisp2882]

great video

[@NRP1991]

ahhh man gotta love that! pup fired right up gotta love Diesel man! haha u tell him tho hah

[@MrDirt251]

does it have glow plugs

[@shiftedproductions1629]

I have a question, what are the 3 gauges on the black thing

[@tylercorbin8073]

Diesel Nation 1.Engine Temp 2. Battery Voltage 3. Engine Oil Pressure The bigger gauge is the new hour meter he put on.

[@2adkhikers]

@doggy8kitty Yeah JD sure..we have one use it for a PLANTER!

[@rider9195]

i got a kubota diesel and all you have to do is heat up the coil for 5 seconds and it starts fine

[@patriotsfz]

Kubotas are good tractors BUT when it breaks down you have to get the parts straight from a Kubota warehouse. with a Farmall or a John Deere you can order it from NAPA which is a heck of a lot cheaper. so great tractors bad to replace parts.

[@V8Jagnut]

nice start. you volts are a bit lo. you like the cold.lol

[@dancarroll2049]

Sorry buddy , but -4 is not cold ?? -44 or 50 with the wind That's cold in Canada??

[@ScotiaDiesel]

-4 Fahrenheit (-20 Celsius) isn't cold?! Are you mental?

[@dancarroll2049]

NO ! I am Canadian .....L OL

[@recrdholdr]

@@dancarroll2049 -20 is cold no matter who you are.

[@dancarroll2049]

@@recrdholdr kubota is the best know matter what... if your tractor is well maintained 20 30 40 below...

[@lauder12345]

you should try cold starting a minniapolis moline 115 horse tractor when its cold it a bitch to start

[@tomastefanhodor2132]

what start easier , the answer is UTB from Romania search (intorsura buzaului)

[@tomastefanhodor2132]

a see your video and i am disaponed of Kubota, I am from Romania and we have here temperature under -30 C and the tractor must stard, and it start essey, search UTB 453 45 hp (uzina tractor Brasov) the tractor from Romania was the best i have the courage to test whith any tractor, easy to drive, cheap service, low fuell you can,t break him

[@mikerodgers7003]

Does NO one think of oil flow?? How about spin that sumbi**h for several seconds to at least *start* oil pressure to build, to fill the oil galleys, etc. THEN heat the glow plugs and fire it up. I can't imagine how much bearing wear occurs each time you fire that thing up, at high idle, with no spin time. Think of the crankshaft bearings. They cry.

[@TheFIREGOD12]

+Mike Rodgers Think about when you go to start every other engine.

[@leroycapuna9727]

Hell my old jd 4010 starts in 5 seconds of cranking. With a low temp of -50

[@1944johndeerel]

the biggest pain in the neck would be the chinese jinmas! i have seen vids on youtube of them being a royal pain to start!

[@zachzimmerman7076]

Kubota is the best. John Deere is juck

[@go4damo]

Then, it's not a "cold" start.

[@leroycapuna9727]

Besides he let the motor warm up before making this video

[@lisalanham9606]

You a fucking dumb ass

[@RM250D8rzr]

1 minute is to much lol. there no point holding it on that long. 10 seconds it more than enough for -4. they dont really star past -17. need a block heater. or it might be 14. but anyway. i live in canada and give it cold starts all the time. 10 degress i just hold it on for 5 seconds.

[@crunchycrispybacon]

it only needs about 10 seconds of glowing, not a minute.

[@jameslandon4126]

You obviously don't know anything about these tractors so be quiet.

[@Holden-McGroin]

These tractors say right on the ignition switch to heat for 20 seconds above freezing, 30-60 seconds below freezing. Please stop spreading misinformation. If you don't know what you're talking about, don't talk.

[@tylercorbin8073]

Your supposed to do the glow plugs in short bursts not a full 10 minutes, it will burn out the glow plugs!!!

[@sqhschief]

Exactly why don't people that know how to operate the things comment, not a bunch of noobs.

[@kmcwhq]

You have zero oil pressure.....

[@tannerdamico9895]

That tractor is probably slap war out

[@dylanstewart4861]

either that or no reading

[@jonathanmorley3149]

Jesus! 1 fucking minuet! First of all, you only need 20 seconds max! Second of all my John Deere fires up in -30 degrees Celsius with only 8 seconds of plugs

[@turtlemann14]

+Jonathan Morley all plugs are not created equal... more than about 10 seconds on a 6.9l idi and the plug will burn out.

[@jimmyhill9843]

Ive never seen a john deere diesel start up in the cold lol my granddads 4455 is a hell of a tractor but it hardly ever starts below 20 degrees even when he bought it new. it starts but it burns a lot of battery doing so. kubotas are great cold starters hands down. and that's coming from a john deere guy in myself lol

[@lukendad]

problem is kubotas eat batteries

[@Awesomeman1987]

yeah but 30 f isn't cold.

[@DrCadillacV]

I hate Kubes, give me a caterpillar diesel any day of the week.

[@Andrew-sm5qq]

What the hell is this guy taking about I stared my kubota in - 30 and he thinks -4 is cold come to canada

[@dancarroll2049]

+Andrew - That's the first time I ever seen ''A'' Green Kubota L O L ....

[@on4acres]

I think you’re confusing Fahrenheit and Celsius.

[@lucacarelle6892]

No people please... it's called he actually got the tractor running about 10 minutes before this video and shut the tractor then started the "cold start".
