48 years old and really enjoy your videos, thanks
Thank you for putting these videos together. I've got a LX2610 also and I'm about 100 hours behind you, so it's been helpful to understand what needs to be done for the bigger maintenance milestones. I always consult the manual, but seeing someone else do the service is immensely helpful. Please keep sharing your maintenance videos.
Yeah I am not a podcast person, CZcams is good enough for me.
Thanks Frank! Appreciate the feedback. Cheers!
You got the funnel!
As far as adding the podcast goes, I simply wouldn’t have time.
The idea for podcasts is very interesting. You seems to have a talent for speaking when overlaying videos and I think that apply to podcasts as well. You take your subject seriously but always with a sense of humor as well.
Thanks for the kind feedback Robert! Have a great day!
I guess I’m one of the younger ones watching your channel (still in my 30s)! Been subscribed since you bought the LX2610, and I finally just bought my very own last week! You are an inspiration, and a great influence. I love your attention to detail! Thanks for the great content, and bringing us along on your daily adventures. P.S. I would definitely listen to your podcast!
I like that you have the SMV sign on your tractor.
You bet Bill!
I'm in a younger demographic. I'm in my thirties but I love your content.
I'm 27 (next week) and have my own landscaping business in the area where I live here in Western Massachusetts. I'm probably the exception to the rule, but I love keeping up with your adventures and your chores on this channel. And I would love to hear the podcast about the generation of yesteryear, discussing old ways, old wisdom and old thoughts. Keep up the great work and thank you for producing such great, informative and entertaining content for all of us.
Like the video reminding that I need to do an oil change etc. NO need for Pod Casts. You Tube is just fine.
Thanks Michael!
Good maintenance Gord good to get that done glad the leak wasn't serious take care have a great night
Hi GP,
When changing oil, for both the filter removal as well as the drain plug, I put my gloved hand inside a plastic bag, like what Walmart uses. Keeps my hand clean, and with the filter i fold the bag over the filter. It seems there is always a bit of a mess, but I like to minimize it! great video as always.
I like these videos working on and with the kubota
Hello Sir I appreciate all of your videos I would simply say keep them coming.
Thanks very much Tim!
Thanks, Cheers!
Another good video GP. At 04:15, ''ugly season'' no, maintenace season (lolll) Usually, fuel consumption is L/hr. The seasonal revision of the tightening of the bolts is essential and remains a very underestimated task and it is a very relevant reminder (even if I hate it because the position of some bolts). Be well.
LOL. Great point - thanks D! You too!
I'm always up for a new pod cast Gord. I get weeks like you too where we jump around on multiple things so it gets hard to make content.
Thanks Kev! Have a good one out there this week!
Hello GP. While the snow is gone, the lawns are soaked and cannot drive on the lawns with the tractor. Your videos are so helpful and have been used as a reference. As for a pod cast. I do not know if I would listen as much as I would like to. My time is limited. Maybe in the future that will change but for now, too much going on.
I'd be interested in your podcast. I spend a lot of time on the road, so new content is always welcome
Thanks Frank!
Great to see you back working on the tractor. It reminded me to check the tightness of all my bolts. Thank you. Good job!!
Hey Jack. I had a few loose ones on the loader mount so happy I got it checked. Good luck!
@@GPOutdoors the kubotas sure are great feul enfishioned
I took delivery of my new Kubota April 1 thanks Gord
Congrats G! How are you enjoying it?
I got a BX2380 with Front loader traded my JD on it so far great, after watching all your videos I finally pulled the trigger thanks
I am anxious to see what you have coming. Great job GP
Thanks Andy!
Great news on the podcast. I’m a daily listener. And will definitely subscribe to yours.
Cheers Roger!
Gord another great video. I think for your pod casts it would be worth talking about issues concerning cottage ownership and maintenance where you don’t necessarily have to show people what you are talking about. If you decide to build your garage both videos and podcasts would be very interesting to see. I was in the same situation you are in now 11 years ago regarding a Garage and we decided to go ahead and build a 24x48 2 story garage. We figured if we didn’t do it then we probably wouldn’t do it after we retired. By the way the size was determined such that I could pile 4 cords of wood around 3 sides. I added a 6 foot wide sidewalk around the building to make it easy to move the wood in and out by wheel barrow. No water in our garage in Kawartha Lakes so no need for separate septic system. We just installed a Waterloo Biofilter system last summer to replace our existing old system. Regarding ideas for the tractor I need help with replacing a broken wheel stud?? Length of hoses on the snow blower chute deflector & Grapple. I’ve ordered a self leveling kit for the LA535 loader and it is next to impossible to find information regarding the installation of the hydraulic components. No dealer I’ve talked to has any idea either. Looking forward to your next bunch of video’s.
Thanks for the great feedback and ideas Andrew. The wheel stud - check out my video #212 - Wheel Spacers. I had to remove all of them. LOL. it was brutal but I got it done and was able to install the new studs. I can't help much with the rest unfortunately. Good luck with the self level install.
Sure glad the leak wasn't anything serious. Take care Gord and one day spring will show up. And no, I'm not interested in watching you do laundry, dust, clean the house or even line dance with Guy and Husky Bob. Keep up the great videos and content and laughs.....Be safe
LOL!! Who told you we line dance in the workshop??!!! :)) Cheers and all the best Mike!
At 38 years old, I would thoroughly enjoy listening to your podcast👍
Thanks!
start the podcast! I love this idea!
Again Great video ! I'm not a podcast listener, but things about are generation... I might give it a try ! You are very interesting to listen to, so go ahead, i'm sure it will lead to something great !
Thanks Luc!
Sir, watching the video and I have a B2650, similar to your LX with cab. I had a problem this year with power loss and heavy exhaust smoke while using my snowblower for 45+ minutes; happened twice but always went back to normal after letting the tractor rest for a while. I thought I was running it too hard, contacted the Kubota service department and they advised to keep an eye on it and try to record it if it happens again. A few weeks later it happened again. I Contacted the dealer and the short part of the story is the plastic air intake that extends to just behind and above the radiator needs to be removed during snow operations, and keep the air filter chamber with filters connected. There should be a sticker the dealer said, there wasn’t one, so I marked it with a sharpie to remind me next year. The filter was shot, waterlogged and interior metal screen filter was starting to rust. Replaced both plus picked up a spare air filter and kept the metal screen filter after cleaning it up as a spare. Please contact your Kubota service rep discuss the intake concern with them. Might be fixed on the new LXs. Thanks for posting these informative videos, helps a new owner like me! Stay safe, Len
GP, looks like that winter weather is still holding on. More so for yinz guys. Still,in SW PA, have a bit of snow flurries in the AM some mornings but by mid day the mud starts to grow! Lol
But the wind,!! Sheesh it's STILL too cold to do anything outside! Prolly go right to summer by months end. Stay safe , thanks for sharing!
Yup, same here John. Just far enough from winter but not close enough to summer...the mud is plentiful. Have a great night!
@@GPOutdoors Stayin warm by the heater!
I always appreciate your Content GP. Whether digging a ditch or filling in a hole its all good. Your efforts are always rewarding.
Good morning Dean!
JP... your making me miss my b2650... my front mount blower was different.. I wish it was like yours.. say hi to ( little JP )
:)) I will Mike - thanks!
I had my hydro filter leak before. You install it when it is warm then a cold snap causes it to leak a bit. There is a balance of not over tightening and being on good enough to not leak in all weather conditions. Take Care, J
Gp I think you have a great idea. I'm 63 and like you I like hearing ideas from my generation. No matter how old we get, learning new ideas are important to me. Thanks for the videos my friend. Cheers from Palestine wv
This is amazing, thank you friend for sharing!
I think a podcast on subjects in the way we were raised people of our age is a pretty good idea. Cuz I believe there was better morals and respect. And a simpler way of life
I like the podcast idea. I have had a podcast (about art) for 3 years and just published my 75th episode. I am 55 and many of my listeners are older. If you have any questions, drop me a line.
Thanks very much Mike!
Great video Gord, always enjoy watching you do maintenance on your equipment. It would be nice if you could have your building done and have a proper barn for the equipment but we understand . Stay safe and keep the videos coming. Fred.
You bet Fred! One day - take care!
Gord, I think a Podcast would be a great idea. If I maybe so bold, I think a couple of guests would be "Husky Bob" and or Guy. Seems like they are both a wealth of information and I would be interested to learn about Guy's life and where it has lead him to live where he does. He seems proficient in many skills. Just a thought. I know you said you already have an outline but thought I'd throw it out there. Cheers
You bet Mike, love to get their perspectives in there too on some episodes. Great idea! Thanks
Dang GP, here I am in a T-shirt today and you guys are still -12C !! We were in the 70's (20-ish C). The shed is a MUST !!
I'm not sure I could do a podcast. My workload is out of control already, but I would stop by as time allows to see what you have to say. It does sound interesting and you do have a high level of professionalism displayed daily in your CZcams videos, so I am sure the production would be the same quality.
What's odd is that you and I have the same demographics watching our channels, though my content is quite different than yours though similar in a few respects. What I think is odd, is I have 8.2 % Canadian viewers. LOL Good Luck with all your ventures GP.
Great video GP
Thanks Trey!
Always good to see another GP Outdoors video. You always impress me to know how well you care for your equipment. Have yourself a fine week good Sir!
You too SD!
Good job GP. Yes I watch pod cast on a couple of Dr I follow and there the same thing as there CZcams video was. So I don’t listen to them . So your right it would be redundant. Your doing a fantastic job doing what your doing. Cheers.
Hello my friend. I became concerned for you while observing your tractor move and shift weight. Perhaps when you have your cab mounted for winter weather, you may consider installing wheel spacers. Spacers sure would help with the added weight on top and relieve some of us who enjoy your content. Be safe up there and wish you all well.
I have not started listening to pod casts. I did work on the tractor a little today.
Gord, First time I have sent you a note, I have watched you for some time. You are such an inspiration, and it does not surprise me about the age demographics of your channel. I too am in that general demographic. I really enjoy watching your videos, especially the tractor work. I too have LX series tractor complimented with about 8 implements. I marvel at how clean you keep your tractor, it always looks great, kudos to your for keeping it that way. I really enjoyed this episode as you perform the 200 hour maintenance while talking about the potential of a pod cast. My tractor has about 75 hours on it, so this video will be very useful to me in the near future. I have a few questions for you.
I was watching you change the hydraulic oil filters, or perhaps one was transmission the other hydraulic oil, I noticed that you did not wipe off the mating seal surface of the filter housing. Is that because there is such a rush of oil that you wanted to quickly change them without loosing oil?
I also have the same snow blower, looking at your blower housing and mine they look like they wear towards the bottom more than the top. Will you repaint that area as part of your regular seasonal maintenance? Have you had any rusting of the housing either during or after the snow season. And, how many grade 2 bolts do you usually go thru in a season of snow blowing. How many hours to you put on your snow blower in a season? I depend on my snow blower during the winter a lot, I just want to get an idea of what to expect.
Also, I too have a grapple. I noticed that you do not have a center grill guard on this tractor. I can tell you that the first day I installed the 511 unit on my tractor, it saved my grill on the bonnet. I was stacking limbed logs onto a slash pile when one of the logs came rolling off the top of the pile and a very stout cut off tree branch came crashing down into my new grill guard. It did not dent the grill guard, but it sure put a big scratch on it and yes, it saved me much self criticism for not being more mindful. Carry on Gord, I really like how you run your channel.
Good morning Craig and thanks for the note. Can you email me - gordpotter55 at gmail dot com. It will be much easier for me to answer on email. You don't need to resend the questions - :)) Cheers and thanks!
Well, Im at 45 hours on my LX2610 and was already planning to go back to your 50 hour maint video for reference. But hey GP, you got some of us GenX watching, keep up the hard work.
Thanks Todd! Good luck on the first maintenance. You'll do great!
Hey GP, the podcast sounds interesting, challenging our values and beliefs is a great way to consider things we see in society with today's culture. I serviced my Msssey Ferguson last Fall at 225 hours and changed everything, all fluids and filters, completely greased all grease fittings.
Good stuff john. Feels great to have it done - I was just waiting for better weather. Appreciate the feedback on the Podcast too. Cheers!
I used to listen to books and podcasts on my way to work and back. Now that I’m working from home instead I have not listed to any since this stay at home stuff started. I’d love to get back into it though. I used to look forward to some coffee and a 40 min drive each way. Keep us posted on it. I’m a bit younger than you but I have a feeling that we share the same values. 👍🏼
Thanks THS! I appreciate the feedback ad will continue working through it to a decision. Cheers!
6:51 Holy cow Gord...i had no idea my tractor could even GO that fast! (Well, except when it's tailgating my truck on the highway 😉👍)
Also, as I mentioned in your poll, I am a consumer of quite a few podcasts and would love to see you go forward. Another nice aspect of a podcast is you could pretty easily have guests. I applaud your creative spirit Gordon, and your courage to broach topics that might challenge "status quo" thinking. We're never too old to learn, and we shouldn't ever be afraid to absorb new info and re-evaluate your position. I'm rooting for you my friend...
LOL! It is so funky looking when it has no attachments on it. :)) Thanks Chris - lots to work through still and to decide - thanks for the support!
Maintenance. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure 🙂
Enjoyable video, GP. Thanks.
Cheers Edward!
Good video! I am not a podcast person but maybe I should look to see what’s out there, maybe some good stuff!
Thanks Bob! If you like real crime stories try "Serial" ( Season one was my favorite so far), and another one called "Crime Junkies". True stories - great reporting. Cheers!
Another well done video, GP. I do listen to podcasts. CZcams content is limited to times where you can actually view the video. Podcasts can be done in background while doing other things like driving. A format like a talk show or interviews or discussions could work very well in both formats. You are a smart, sincere, respectful fellow and I think that you would handle differences of opinion gracefully. I’d subscribe.
Good day and thanks for the great feedback Larry! Have a wonderful week - thanks again!
Good evening GP 👍🧐 Great video Sir and have a nice defrost cycle week 😎🌞👌👍🤣 Cheers 🍻
Hi Dave! Yes gets warm, and the we get flurries. LOL. Hopefully it will be over soon. Have a nice week mon ami!
@@GPOutdoors 😉👍👌🍻
Hey GP. My wife listens to many podcast but I've never tried one myself. You put one out, it's gonna be my first one.
I was watching you change you hydraulic filter and loosing fluid. When I do mine, I arrange to have someone hold the shopvac suction over the fill up port. I swear I don't lose more than a table spoon of fluid during the filter swap. I did not believe it till I tried it
Thanks Yves! And thanks for the oil tip - a few others mentioned they do the same thing. Cheers!
I really like the podcast idea. I believe people grow, become smarter, wiser, even more energized in life when they except other opinions and idea's that may be better than their own. It is a great feeling to know and see others from different walks of life be capable of coming together to challenge each other. When individuals think of it and see it as the conversations/content actually being able to benefit their self and others and is never to absorb it as offending, it is a great force of power (knowledge is power) that a large percentage of our world surprisedly isn't that capable of handling professionally and friendly. It's not a hidden secret, but sometimes to me it seems like it is. The only idea i have for your podcast is us young fella's, which I know without you specially stating, is more than welcomed. Because, well, as we all know, we know more then anybody (haha wink wink), but to show the different perspective as technology, designs, etc., change faster than what i feel like they use too, we can attempt to provide insight to growing up right in the middle of it.
Hey Gord. I will admit I have been looking into doing podcasts as well. I pay for CZcams Premium and listen to many channels as audio only, but a dedicated podcast is a good idea. One for our age demographic is a wonderful idea! Please do that, and I'd listen.
Good day Ross! That's great - I know a couple others are considering it too. Thanks for the good feedback and good luck if you go forward on the idea!
Gord. You will keep us informed on your pod cast looking forward to checking I’m from northern Ontario leaving in northern Quebec. Just retired and Would enjoy tuning in. Good look
Thanks Richard! Appreciate the feedback and interest. Have a good evening!
Even though our diesel at the pump is supposed to be winter blended I still put conditioner in it too it ain't going to hurt
Just had mine done at the dealer. Holding a bake sale to fund raise!🤣🤣🤣🤣
LOL!!!
@@GPOutdoors Chocolate Merlot Cupcakes, anyone?😇
Your comment on fuel consumption i thought was neat. Now i know how long i can run my B2650 before she runs out of go-go juice. When i was using the BH77 back hoe to dig out a detention pond in the back yard i noticed that running it about 8 hours a days was using between 4 & 5 gallons a day if that puts it in better perspective for viewers. My Kubota BX2370 i had used ½ gallon per hour at full RPM.
Thanks Andy! Much appreciated
I like when you show yourself doing the hour based maintenance on your tractor; I bought my LX2610 around the same time as you and I had wondered how many hours you had on your tractor. From what I can tell our usage is within 30 hours of each other! Keep up the good work with the channel. I am not a podcast kind of guy but who knows, maybe that'll change.🚜
Cheers Mike!
you might see if Kubota has a gasket softener or try grease instead of oil. there seems to be a lot of people doing that.
Thanks Jim. I had not heard of that before - Cheers!
GP, your idea for the podcast sounds great. As an old timer the content sounds goods. Now ideas to entice the younger generations to tune in and share their views. Could lead to better understanding between generations?👍👍👍👍👍😺🤗🐺🇺🇸
Thanks Glenn. Great feedback - have a great week out there!
All your videos are great. I have a hard time getting my videos edited
Thanks Larry!
Gord I hope that blower is staying off until November. This winter seemed long for some reason.
Ditto Chris! LOL.
Another great video. I can relate to many of the topics you cover in your videos as I am often at my property in northern Michigan working on projects. Your videos cover things I have thought about doing, or I have already done them myself and am curious to see how you handle them. I definitely look forward to checking out your podcast as well. Keep up the great work.
Cheers and thanks very much Nick!
Very informative again GP! I do check my lug nuts a couple times a year but never the chassis fastners. Got that on my list, I noticed a few of yours did move a bit. Thanks!!
Hi Jeff. Yes, I was surprised I had a couple of them. The manual says to torque those loader mount bolts every 10-20 hours of use but honestly, I have not been that diligent. Happy I got it done to start the new season off on the right foot. Have a good evening!
Great video, Gord! i think you have both the intelligence and the voice to produce a really interesting podcast, and I also think your theme would be of interest. At this point I’m not a podcast fella (I struggle for enough free time to keep up with my favourite CZcams channels), but perhaps that may change in time 😊. Cheers!
Thanks very much Dave. Appreciate the comments. Yup time is always tough to find. I tend to listen in the truck on the way north or back home. I'll continue on and decide soon. Hope you get some time up there soon - exam time....:) Good luck!
You have 229 hours on your new tractor already. It took me 3 years to get that many on my B 2601. After how many hours did your transmission whine go away? Thanks for the informative video Wayne from Wisconsin.
Hi Wayne - the whine never goes away my friend. Folks have told me it gets quieter over time but at least for now, it still sounds more or less the same. Cheers!
How's she goin'? Spring is coming eh!!! It's amazing how much snow you have lost already!!! Nice work getting the maintenance done. It pays to do the maintenance that's for sure. I think your idea of a podcast is an interesting one. The topic could surely be of interest as I know I often find things and thoughts of today's generation not what I grew up with!!! Take care!!!
Hey good afternoon Grampie ( well, evening for you I think now). Yes happy I got it done - was just waiting for a day that wasn't freezing.. LOL. Thanks for the feedback on the podcast. Still in consideration but will see soon. Take care and enjoy the warming weather- hope the taps are in place!
Nice work along video GP, your demographics from YT is where you are coming up with your idea of where to start, would be interesting to see the graphs of age groups, country watched from, and time watched ( if you don't get their attention in the first minute, it explainable). I have that old brother too but we are polar opposites and if no one noticed, you wore 3 differant gloves, plus the disposible latex as part of the tria lol. Cheers and stay safe. Pete
LOL! Good eye Buddy! (Pete). I did - sadly it was cold and very windy that day - I walked into the cabin for a second to grab the other camera and when I came out , both my latex gloves were swimming in the oil pan...:(( Guess I'll be buying a new pair LOL. Cheers!
Hi GP, I'd like to listen to your podcast and I think you are connecting with the right audience for that. Watching your 200 hour service, I noticed that you didn't drain all you hydraulic fluid when changing the filters. I thought the 200 hour service was replace the hydraulic oil and filters. At least I believe that is the way it is on my B2650 and I think they have the same maintenance schedule. See what you can find out. It doesn't make it clear in the checklist page but if you dig deeper into the every "hours" service section it shows that you drain and replace the fluid in the manual. Anyhow, the video editing is top notch and you have set the gold standard in our tractor community. Best, Dave
Hey good evening and thanks Dave. I will take a look into those sections. The 200 only required the trans filter to be changed but I changed both but thought the fluid only needs changing out at 400 hours. Big Expense as it needs alot, as you know. I will check - thanks for the great feedback!
@@GPOutdoors I believe you and Big Bear are correct now that I've opened the manual and dived in deeper. It shows replace at the 400 mark on the chart. Slightly confusing is the directions on the 200 hour HST filter change as it stated to drain the oil then remove the filter. I have my 200 hour coming up soon so glad to have discussed this with you guys. This is more like the initial 50 hour service. That could have been costly like you said and I was dreading it. Thanks!
All good B. Always good to extra eyes and thoughts on things. Good luck with yours!
@@GPOutdoors Thanks GP!
Hello GP. Say, if you stick a shop vac hose in or around the hydro fill location you will lose hardly any hydro fluid. Simple search on CZcams will bring up many videos to check out. My dealer turned me on to this. Cheers.
Hey thanks Paul. I will check out that. I had heard about it before but had not checked into it. Thanks again - have a good one!
Oh wow. You guys going to have a spring ? We are well on our way into spring. But the polling is very bad this year. In the middle 74 today. Now we do have storm coming temp will drop some and be cooler this weekend.
LOL! We keep getting false starts Ron. But it is looking better this last several days. All the best!
Looks like it’s your mid PTO seal that’s leaking, mine does too.
Thanks Larry - I'll keep an eye on it!
What??? A podcast??? Oh come on Gord, I don't have time for that! Between Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tic Tok, LinkedIn, email, snail-mail, telemarketers, and screaming teenagers, when I am supposed to listen to that? HA HA HA! This is a great idea and I'm looking forward to this especially since I'm Toronto/Haliburton as well.
You asked for generational ideas so how about the different 'work ethic'? I didn't say good or bad...just different. In our day we dedicated ourselves to an employer but now it seems there is less of that. Goes both ways too..employers are different!
Food for thought Gord, and good luck! Interesting to me!
Dan.
LOL! So true - but thanks! Yes, great topic! Have a good, "relaxing" week... re: the crazy busy teen years...you are going to miss it when they move out...:))) Cheers!
11:45 did that filter seal properly? You don't have to show it, but I only wanted to bring it up that you should put a film of oil on the filter gasket before screwing it on. I assume that is the implement hydraulic system filter as you already changed the engine filter at this point, but I don't know the tractor well enough to be sure. Good luck!
Good morning David! Thanks for the great advice - always helpful. Yes for sure, I did it on each before installing them. Cheers!
Hello Gord, Quite a difference in how fast you can go with the new chains vs the ones on the old B2601. I am interested in the podcast as well. It would be nice to have something decent to listen for a change.
Thanks Stephen! Yup she is pretty sporty when she's naked! Cheers!
GP, I enjoy your channel but I'm guessing I'm a bit younger than your age group at 38! Thanks for sharing your videos.
Hey Gord I think I'm probably in or near your generation!! The podcast sounds interesting.
Gord, I noticed a couple of things that you do, that maybe could be improved on. The main one I noticed is when you use your Torque Wrench, you also use a 'standard' ( i.e. not specified or made for use on a torque wrench application ) socket extension, looks to me maybe it's a 4 inch or six inch model. You are not getting the torque as you have set up on your wrench when you use these.
Don't take my word for this, please check and ask a specialist in Torque Wrenches, and you will see why these extensions should not be used.
If you can't 'reach' the bolt or nut, then use a deep impact socket and or, buy an extension that is designed and built for use with a torque wrench. These will not twist nearly as much as do those standard extensions. These are points that I have been told by people who do know. I've spent all my working life in the mechanical field, of sales, service and rentals of construction
equipment, so I speaking from some experience here and not being a" troll "here.
You seem to be a person who likes to do things correctly, so I just thought that perhaps you might like to know this.
Hey good day and thanks Reg. I was not aware there were special types of extensions. Yes these are regular extensions ( I think). Much appreciated good sir!
@@GPOutdoors Then I am glad. Cheers!
This is the ugly season. I'm tired of slipping on ice in the morning and walking through mud in the afternoon! I'm spending my time boiling sap for maple syrup these days. So much work for such a little bit of product, but it's so, so good. No desire to put any taps out on your land?
Good stuff Ian. No, I have never really had the urge. A good friend of Bob and Guy's has a huge acreage and system but personally, I've never done it. Enjoy it!
Hello Gord, looks like Kubota isn't free of a mid PTO drip. My New Holland tc33D has had one after many hours of powering a mid mount 72" mower deck. Even after dealer replacing an internal seal. Not one of NH's better designs.
Good day Jim! I think it was leaking from the hydraulic filter seal. But I will keep an eye on it and see. Thanks for the head's up!
HI Gord the podcast idea sounds great. You can also do CZcams podcasts where you have a couple of people sitting around discussing ideas. I also watch Dirt Perfect and Mike does some great podcasts. Check his out sometime.
Thanks Brian! Great info _ I will check him out!
Hey GP, I was wondering if the two issues you remarked were negatives back at 70 hours were still a problem for you. Has the transmission being jumpy and the whine improved? Thanks again and have a good one.
Hi Aaron. Thanks for the q's. The tranny is much better but the whine is still there - not sure that is ever going away. But I wear hearing protection (PPE) so it doesn't really bother me much anymore. Have a great week!
I see your SMV sign is cracked, I remounted mine on the bracket upside down so the 3 point won't hit it when raised all the way up.
Yup, I lifted a little high for sure J. Thanks for the great suggestion!
Great video! I’m looking at the same model w/cab. Have you ever smelled exhaust fumes in the cab or is it pretty well sealed?
Hunt around for a used landscape rake I paid $250 for mine... Then we luck out on one just like it for my brother for $250
Wouldn't it be easier just to add the conditioner to the diesel storage tank?
Hi Joe. It has winter diesel in it - Guy has never used a conditioner so I just add it for me. Thanks - great suggestion if it were mine. Have a great week!
Hi Gord love all the videos. My wife and I have a property in Ontario we want to build on this year and security is a concern. Can you tell me the internet provider you are currently using. I have looked into several for remote locations and they can be quite costly. Thank you
Good morning and congratulations Alan. Pretty exciting for you and your wife. perhaps email me at gordpotter55 at gmail dot com . Cheers!
When you drain your hydraulic fluid do you drain it completely or just change filters and add what little was lost? Thank you
Hi Drew - great question. I only add what was left. The maintenance schedule does not call for a complete drain until 400 hours - in the interim, just filter changes. The fluid is super expensive to have to replace it from empty, so I will wait for the 400. Cheers!
@@GPOutdoors good plan I’m gonna do the same! I have a b2620 needs service and thought yeah let’s just change filters out this round on hydraulics
Don’t get any oil on that shirt lol!
LOL!! :))
Been meaning to mention this. DO NOT PRESSURE WASH ANY MECHANICAL/ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT!!! Soapy water will get into places where you don't want it and do nasty things to whatever in remains in contact with. Even if you follow with a pressure rinse, bad juju.
Great point Don. And good timing for me as I am about to wash it today. Thanks!
@@GPOutdoors Tractors and such are designed to play in the dirt, not in soapy water. Dirt good, water bad.
LOL!!
Sorry, it isn’t the mid PTO it’s the input seal on the transmission.
Myl6060 computer says i burn 3.6 litres perhour. Thats for the total hours onit 210 hours
Hello GP, I may have missed it, but did you oil/lubricate the rubber seal on the new filters before replacing them? I would bet you did, but just in case. As others have stated, you just reminded me that I need to tighten all of the nuts/bolts on my 3301L Kubota. As I recall, the torque recommendations are in the manual. I purchased a new diesel filter about a month ago and need to do that as well. Take care and stay warm my friend! Cheers from Central Oregon.
Hey thanks for the heads up, in case I didn't Cliff ( I did :)) Whew!). A couple of those loader mount bolts were loose so happy I got them all ready for the coming season. Thanks again - have a wonderful week!
What’s the pros and cons of your 2782 vs the 2980 blowers? Thanks.
I've been wondering for a while since your tractor is parked outside all the time. Do you do anything to keep rodents from nesting inside the engine compartment, etc?
Podcast would be cool.
Good day JO. So far, so good - has not been an issue yet. My snowmobile - that's another story..LOL!
Gord a channel for baby boomers that cut wood and have tractors what will they think of next.
LOL! Cheers Dave!
