Thank you for the video, it was very thorough and helpful !! 👍🏼

[@Academy_Farm]

@roydominguez6588 glad to hear it. Thanks!

Nice video. I have watched dozens of videos on oil changes, etc., but still get pulled in and watch newer ones. I have a L2502 and there are not many videos out on those yet, so still watch a lot of L2501 videos. Thanks for publishing and great job. -Tod

Thanks, Tod. Yeah I regularly surprise myself with the tedious and mundane tasks I watch on KZbin so I figured at least a few folks would get a kick out of this. Much appreciated!

[@patrickthomas6170]

thanks, have a L3400. use some tin foil underaround when fliter removal keeps mess down.

[@Academy_Farm]

Good idea! Thanks for watching!

[@susancade2092]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Great video! If I live in South Texas do I use a 10W-40 oil?

[@Academy_Farm]

10W-30 covers all temperature ranges according to my manual!

[@brokenpinesfarm]

Nice and clean! I'm jealous of your garage! Seems like a great work space. Can't go wrong changing the oil more often than required that's for sure and as you said, very reliable machines! Wish the filters came in grey like from the factory so it would be all uniform and pretty! Seems nice to fill with 1 qt bottles...I bought a 5 gallon bucket..what a nightmare haha! Cheers, Alex

[@Academy_Farm]

Haha! The dealer talked me out of the 5 gallon bucket just for that reason! Quarts for me.

Hi, new Kubota owner of a Kubota L2501. Where can I check the transmission fluid?

[@Academy_Farm]

@susancade2092 Congrats! There's a round sight glass near where your left foot rests. Check the manual but the level should be within that glass when the tractor is off and on level ground.

Outstanding video! Thank you so much!

[@Academy_Farm]

Glad it could help! Thanks!

Was wondering if you have ever had your kubota blow out a little smoke while using it.i have a l2501 and sometimes you can see a little light smoke out the exhaust you can see it better at night in the head lights.

[@Academy_Farm]

I sure have. I just got done filming a video in the cold and under load, with clean fuel and clean oil, still can see exhaust smoke from time to time.

[@badgerlandturf]

So do you follow your manual with interval changes or just go by some other variable. You said 250 hours and 4th change, that seems a bit often (unless it’s by years). Just curious reasoning behind; otherwise that was a great DIY oil change that most anyone could follow!

[@Academy_Farm]

Thank you! I discuss in the video that I simply do this annually since I'll never hit the 400 hour/year recommended interval. Perhaps a bit often, but it makes me feel good.

[@badgerlandturf]

@@Academy_Farm ok, that makes sense I missed that. I do the annual oil change also as I don’t hit those hours. Sometimes watching on your phone you don’t get all the info.
