80/90 gear oil is what I call it. Just used it to fill my front differential in my F250 and paid $35 for a gallon of Lucas delivered. I use one of those plastic pumps that screws right onto gallon jugs.

[@aaronburford5701]

Great content and video! Love this channel!

[@RossOnTheLand]

Hi Brad, this is on my list for spring maintenance. Thanks. Giving it a full watch.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

Thanks Ross. A little tip for draining....get the oil warm!!

[@RossOnTheLand]

@@PineyGroveHomestead yup 👍 exactly. Thanks.

[@tonybrannen8351]

Have really enjoyed the videos and what y'all are doing down there! Born and raised in Panama City myself, but live in Denver now. Y'all are doing it right by having your own slice of heaven and enjoying your lives the way you want! I've just purchased a little piece of land down at Howard Creek and ordered a home to go on it and have a place to escape the crazy Denver life and come back to my roots and for my family to enjoy! Fishing down the road from the land, and our hunting lease 5 mins away is a huge plus too! Can't tell you how many days I have thought about going back to a simpler life and enjoying nature and LESS PEOPLE! Huge congrats to y'all and look forward to continuing to follow along while you chase your dreams!

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

We know that area very well! Here's some food plotting vids: kzbin.info/aero/PLG5yS75HLzo3B_kuSLkG7zUbMJ22vw4GS

[@Harbangers]

Howdy Brad Greg here from TBS. I'm absolutely blown away by where your calendar lock came from. I'm originally from Marshfield Missouri. Rose Metal is in Springfield about 25 minutes away. Had 3 really good friends who worked there. Remind me to tell you the mail box story from one of the employees Retired by now probably. It's a small little world it is.. Good information on the oil!

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

They are great folks over there!

[@comlbbeau]

Front axle oil change interval depends on model. My MX4700 is 400 hours.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

Good point!

[@earlyriser8998]

I will check my MX6000 soon.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

It's easy enough to check and add a little if it's low! Thanks for watching.

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

Lots of folks in the BX forums complain that their new machine came way low on front axle oil. Mine was full and I give credit to my dealer doing the proper inspections before delivery.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

It's a quick check that's overlooked!

[@user-scooter1965]

I've always called it 80w90 gear oil. Good pointers on proper maintenance, it sure extends the life of your equipment.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

That's so true! 400hr service here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6jRc2CDlrKKl7s

[@ajpsawmill4314]

Mine had one quart in it at the first 50 hr maintenance, brand new tractor

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

Oh man, that is low. Glad you caught it early.

[@tangoseal1]

My 4060 had a bunch brand new but I changed it anyways

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

A good dealer would check it before they let it roll out the door!

[@coltsfan357]

My 2019 L2501 was a quart low also. Mine had 98 hours on it when I bought it if from a friend who had bought it new. He had never changed the gear lube and I seen it was a common issue for the the axle to be a quart low. I checked and sure enough, it was.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

Weird, huh? Kubota doesn't forget to take anything off the price, but they short you a quart of oil in the front axle!! Here's a 400 hr service video if you haven't done that yet! kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6jRc2CDlrKKl7s

[@robertmartin3367]

You may find that there is a vent tube in the middle of the front axle. It is a little hard to find. It is on the top of the axle.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

I need to check that. It might be plugged!

[@hugostiglitz8465]

It may speed up things up if you drive around in 4wd and heat up the axle fluid before draining.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

That's a good tip!

[@BradMyers]

Mine was low also. I checked with my dealer and he stated, they fill it up, you should run it about two weeks, then recheck and you will need to add a little. He said it was normal as it works it way all through the front axle.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

I will recheck it but it took the whole amount (4.8 qts) to refill it.

[@Brandon-cz1ig]

Thanks for the video. I’m about to do the same job on my 2019 L3901. One question, can you not drain both sides at the same time? Or is there a reason to only do one side at a time?

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

I only have one drain pan! But yes, drain both and it would be 1/2 the time!!! Here's the 400 hour service video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6jRc2CDlrKKl7s

[@Brandon-cz1ig]

Haha got it! Thanks!

[@beydlercnc]

My L3902 at 60 hrs was bone dry up front.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

That is sad.....dealer should have checked that before releasing it to you. I got a chance to used a L3902....sweet tractor: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmGzZ5KsnNeonLc

[@thaddeustroyer]

Good video, i could also recommend 2 ways to make the oil flow better 1, drive the tractor before draining to heat up the oil/lube to make it flow better. Or.... Drain it/fill it during thw hottest part of summer, hottest part of the day, with the axle facing the sun to heat up the oil/lube that way. Either way im saying it, hot oil/lube flows better, so get it hot and change it then. Thanks for the maint. Reminder.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

That's a good tip to help it flow quicker.

[@paullubeck3817]

At 50 hrs checked my 3901 and it was 3 qts low

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

I've heard that happens....too often!

[@shawndickmann8215]

The dealers use vacuum pumps to suck out liquids.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

That would make it quicker....it's so slow!

[@scottbarnwell512]

I call it gear oil

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

Thanks for watching.

[@juny2816]

"check your kubota axle oil." That's what I wanted, not a new piece of equipment, not a oil change, check the fluid. Do you push the dip stick all the way in?

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

This model doesn't have a dipstick -- it has a fill level plug

[@kevinpulliam8029]

I have a mahindra and the rear uses the same oil for hydraulics as the gears so hydraulics oil is good for the front as well. I don't think u need 80-90 in front logic just says if it's good for the rear it's fine for the front.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

This is a hydrostatic transmission tractor, so the rear is lubed by the hydraulic oil. We changed that in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6jRc2CDlrKKl7s
