- I review my mid 70's Kubota L175. I look at my homemade cement counterweight using a garbage container. I also demo hauling logs out of the bush and plowing snow. I bought some plastic snow straps last year and wow! Plows through snow like a 4 wheel drive. Check it out. • Plastic Snow Straps fo...
Really impressed with this little tractor. IMPORTANT - a viewer gave me a heads up about the dangers of flipping the tractor especially on un-even ground with the bucket up in the air as I am doing at 9:46. Thanks for the input, much appreciated. - Jak na to + styl
We used to have one before I upgraded to a bx25d (needed the backhoe). But our old l175 was awesome. I just wouldn’t quit no matter how hard you worked it
Ya, I can't believe how much I am able to do with it.
thanks for the demo, that is exactly what i was looking to view
For me this is a great machine, a real work horse. I knew I was getting a 2 wheel drive and even with the counter weight if wasn't great for plowing snow, wet snow that we get here on the West Coast often and forget it. Bought these snow straps and used it last year in wet snow and it worked like a charm. czcams.com/video/Pd85gcjH7UA/video.html
Safety alert: Don't hook your chain anywhere higher than the draw bar. The suicide move for rookies is to fasten a chain onto where the top link connector goes, and then try to pull something heavy, tipping the tractor over on the operator.
Good tip. Cheers!
I prefer the sound of the 2 cylinder diesel engine. My 2 cylinder Bolens/Iseki G174 is a very pleasant thing to be around.
I have one ,there great little tractors!
Ya, it sure has made my life easier, hauling logs out of the bush and bucking them by the wood shed and a little light land clearing and snow removal. Love it.
Hello edward great video, i was recently given a kubota l-175, my problem is the starter was not installed and im having trouble wiring it back up. Could you do a starter wiring video, thanks!
Sorry but I can't help you with that. Good luck.
Hi Edward, love the kubota l175, I have one that I'm putting a front loader on, I have a few questions for you about it is there any way of discussing them.
Thanks
Mike
I'm not a mechanic so can't help you there. What I like about the Johnson loader is it is a bigger bucket than the Kubota. I put a counterweight on mine and that helps.
Hi. What is the type and name of the fronloader? I really want one. But in Denmark, it´s hard to finde for my L175.
It's a Johnson. Company no longer exists. Good luck. Ed
Hi Edward. I'm thinking of buying one. Can you level a yard with it?
Depends on how much heavy lifting you need. This guy does a lot but it struggles with small bushes or small trees. It will move big rocks if you can get behind and under and then push them. Will lift some pretty big rocks too. For me when I am doing some clearing I take my time and with small bushes/trees I just jump down and go at them with my madock. Good luck and cheers.
Mine came with a heavy duty brush hog and wheels weights. I need a loader tho
When I looked the loader was top of list. I use ot to move manure, some light clearing, moving bucked firewood etc. The brush hog sounds handy.
what is the lever on the right side below the three point raise and lower lever just bought one no idea about that one am lost on that one found out all the rest thanks great video
Can't find lever on mine. Good luck. Check out the other two videos I did about my Kubota.

its one you would use your heel of your foot to use but thanks i will watch them
Down on the floor? I have a gas (diesel) pedal at my right foot. Love it.
nothing behind your right foot a half inch bar that your heel could catch and you could push down
well i am at a loss ill take a picture and send it to you lol
@@hobbit321a- I´m not sure if that´s what you´re looking for. But it might be the differential lock. That one in these small Kubota´s is actuated by momentarily pressing with the heel.
Press down to activate the differential lock, release to deactivate.
Cheers
She smokes a bit but not to worry.
The Japanese live in a different world, even a country like Germany is far far behind them
Ya that machine is amazing, a workhorse.
