It's a good idea to run an additive in your fuel both summer and winter, most cure jelling in the winter and water in the summer. I don't use any specific brand, just grab the one on the shelf that the Cummins approval.

Bob, I have an older L2550 with 29HP, I think it's around 25 at the PTO and had more than enough power as long as I started out slow at the beginning of the row and lowered it gradually. As I mentioned my field was plowed and disked but I tried it on bare ground for my wife's blueberry patch and it worked just as well. If I had an acre or more that hadn't been worked awhile I would plow it first I think. The KK I got at TSC for 999.00 which was cheap considering it's gear-driven, I'm satisfied with it but I have yet to get the slip clutch to squeal so Im taking it apart this afternoon. I wouldn't recommend you use one untill you are sure the clutch is slipping, anything can be broken but the unit is beefy my main concern is the PTO shaft and gear (big bucks if you shear one of these.

Tom, I fully realize the implications of the hydraulic oil and pressure I may have dodged a bullet here. The tractor is an L2550 FEL, I've had my share of problems with it (bought used)over the past 3 yrs. I would assume the pump need rebuilding or replaced but as I have the grounds pretty well under control at the new house I seldom use it except for mowing the fields with a bushog. The wife wants a garden this year (groan) so I guess i will appease her, she was reluctant to purchase the tractor but after we moved 1/2 the boulders in NC (seemed like it anyway)she now states "if it flies all to pieces tomorrow we got our money out of it".

I had forgotten about this post entirely, after searching fruitlessly for a replacement I came across an experienced 4 wheel drive man and he offered to look at it. I dropped the whole front axle and took it to his shop, he disassembled it and we viewed the damaged parts. New ring and pinion, r&p bearings, seals and assorted spacing rings, I picked up everything at the Kubota dealer for 550.00 and he reassembled it and it's fine now. As he explaind this was not rocket science and any competent 4 wheel or rear end repairman could do this, you have to have available for him the specs for spacing the R&P and spacers,it's in your shop manual if you have one. Best part 100.00 labor.
