Kubota L2600 basic questions

I just purchased a used L2600; I know nothing about tractors beyond what I've read yesterday in the owner's manual.

The tractor has 65 hrs TT; it's been run only infrequently since new three years ago when its owner died. Seems to be in great shape. We'll see. Anyway:

1) Can this particular tractor be fitted with a front-end loader?

2) Can it be retrofitted to 4WD (cost-effectively)?

3) Is there anything special about Kubota brand hydraulic fluid, or is any quality "tractor" hyd. fluid usable?

4) Ditto the oil filter. (The manual says use only a Kubota filter. The nearest Kubota dlr is some distance away.)

5) Is there a good online source of tractor-related stuff?

Thanks.

First of all Mike, WELCOME, there's quite a few pilots here, I'm sure you will feel right at home here.

Next thing, your questions, co-related to your numbering;

1. Yes, is it worth it for a small 2wd machine, questionable.

2. No. Unless you are an engineering wizz, with your own machine shop and count your time at $0 per hour.

3. Yes, Kubota fluid IS special, it has a pretty Kubota logo on the package and costs somewhere between 30-200% more than the comparable 'industry standard' fluid. Seriously, anything that meets the minimum spec. is just fine.

4. Ditto above. If your concerned there are parts available for delivery, ordered online. See "www.tractorsmart.com" and others.

5. You're at it. Enjoy.

Best of luck. ....
