The weight of 15 cubic feet of loose soil will be in the neighborhood of 1000 to 1200 lbs, based on a bulk density of 1.1 to 1.3. It would be about the same weight as a good 4x5 round bale of hay.

So I am gathering that the BX model's have inadequate brakes? Is this on the hydro only? I am not sure I would want to own a tractor with this issue. It's a hazzard waiting to happen! My Kubota brakes are emmensley strong! they will hold the machine tight on a fairly steep hill with a full load of dirt in the bucket. I assume it shouldn't be any other way.

Mike1819; I'm not real sure which engine Deere uses in the 595, but I can't see any damage coming from contunious operatio long as periodic checks are kept on engine oil level, coolant level, etc. They're probably called something else today, but in past years engines for generators, irrigaton pumps etc. had what we called "Murphy Switches". All they really were are oil pressure and temperature sensors that would shut the engine down in case of a lube ot coolant failure. I'm sure they are still available and likely could be adapted to your mower. We used to put a fuel barrel beside an "M" Farmall to power a grain drier in the fall that ran 24/7. We wre lucky but others had fan belt failures or ran low on oil and cost them an engine, so the "Murphy Switches" would add a level of comfort. Best of luck. Frank.

Beagle, I think I have it the worst here being in the cold as that is when we get a lot of calls for valves freezing up. Kubota is not the only one so maybe I take it a little light as with the different makes we sell new and the others we work on I can tell you nobody has a clean record for this. Some are worse then others. The Kubota valve has some of the nicest features of all valves we work with and they help for them to perform jobs that other valves that are on equipment can't. Unfortunately just like people,the more you do the better chance of an agonizing moment of failure, the more bells and whistles the more chance for trouble regardless of the quality of the product. I hesitate to recommend for him to call the dealer immediately for more then to let him know of the situation as I know we offer free trucking during warrantee but It would be nice to solve several things at once if we can.

ROPs top, you have a sunshade? They normally go higher then before when folding the ROPS to lower. There are none by Kubota for sure that I'm aware of being a bolt on. I know we have several fold downs as well as rigid take offs from different sales but I'm unsure of the mounting for you. I know that it isn't good to modify one but for the value gained or lost on your unit do what you have to as it is your tractor. Yes you will be potentially liable for damage to an operator if they are on your tractor and it rolls and they get hurt. What would the chances be? You know that best. What good is something if you don't use it anyway!

We can all learn something from anyone, My understanding on the matter is that the foam will maintain the grounds natural temp. and not allow the frost to penetrate. If you look at my pics of my house, my shed roof off of the garage
is on 18" x6" round concrete pads with 2" of foam under them.
Seems to stay alright with Maine temps?
I think that if you can keep the water away from them it helps.

bobkro32: Yes, either tractor wiil do the jobs you mention. You are right on target, a good dealer relationship is much more important than whether the hood is green or orange. Absolutely nothing wrong with buying used, but again buy from a dealer you're comfortable with and who has a good reputation for sevice. Frank.

You could try adding enough Kerosene to make it a 60/40: #2/kerosene blend (std. Winterblend). Maybe one of the aftermarket addatives will do, too? I don't know anything about them, I haven't ever used them.

1 mile long drive on a mountainside?? So what do you use it for? Maybe its time to think about buying more tractor? We had a thread last year on a subject of a tractor spliting in two. I am not the most experiance guy here but to me it sounds like you have done all that you can (ie: loaded tires,impliment, and weights) Sounds to me like you just need more tractor for you property's terrain "mountainside mile drive". If you feel your tractor may go over (and kill you) its time to stop playing around with a few more pounds on the back. You dont have a big enough machine. What ever you do, be safe and the best of luck to you!

Hello all, and thanks for taking your time to help!!!<br>
I am a newbie and need some advice: I am semi-retired from offshore construction(commercial diver) and have been in an office for a couple years. Everyday the walls close in about 3", and i am miserable, I like to work outside with my hands. I have been envying you guys and have decided to take the plunge...<br>
Went down to my Lexmark dealer who is also Kubota to price ZTRs and am now confused ! His question was whether i intended on doing lawncare OR landscaping , where I thought most LANDSCAPERS did both or at least were somewhat one and the same. <br>
I can only afford one major piece of equipment. His opinion/advice seemed to be that if I wanted to do lawncare only, then he would get a ZTR. But if I wanted to offer the broader spectrum of actual landscape services then he would go with a Kubota 7800 compact utility tractor, cutting deck, and a couple implements. Then use my JD riding mower on small lawns.<br>
<br>
As experienced professionals what do you guys think? Have any of you made that decision? With that kind of money I cannot afford a mistake!<br>

I did the same thing with my place, made it into a horse farm on 5 acres. I bought a B2410, and it does the job nicely, though for round bales, it is a bit on the low side since my farmer neighbor tends to pack the bales really tight and they are ratnher heavy, so mine cant pick them up on either the front or back lift, they weigh in at ~1100#. So far that is the ONLY limitation I have found with mine, it handles every chore I toss at it, 6' finish mower, 5' tiller, 6' grader blade, 6' landscape rake, and a 5' box scraper. Traction is the limiting factor I found with the blades, other than that, it will pull that 6' finish mower through grass as tall as the front tires without too much problem.

Over 190 hours on my B2410 since I got it 2 years ago. Cleaning stalls is much easier, just toss the crap out into the aisle(concrete floors) then scoop it up with the bucket and move it out to the pile. The pile is well over 8' tall by now and at least 10'wide by 20' long. Try moving a wheelbarrow up that! The past weekend and this last weekend I spent time putting in an arena. It is 80' x 140', and got 8 truckloads of ag-lime dumped in there. Spreading with a landscape rake and the bucket sure is much easier than doing it by hand! Also mowing 3 acres of grass is much easier. I would say it has been the best purchase I have ever made.

Check out the TractorSmart website under the accessories for your model. They have the rear remote kits for most Kubota models listed. I know for my tractor the kit alone was about $850 for two rear remotes. Not sure about dealer installation costs. Top and Tilt cylinders are about $200 ea.

I built my own remote kit and cylinders from purchased parts for less than half what the kit costs.

Have you tried the emergency brake?
I too have had problems on hills where it won't want to shift. Pull the emergency brake and then it "should" allow it to be taken out of (and into the next) gear without any tugging.

Well Gents, many thanks for all the good information. Actually the dealer is "throwing in" a canopy, rear SVC, rear work lights, auto cruise, speed and load match, and loaded tires. The little lady loves the tractor work, but has been VERY unhappy with the Power Reverser. 'Nough said. Have told him to order it...should take about a month. Guess I'll go ahead and buy myself a new shovel. Thanks again!

I would echo all the comments above, especially mowhoward that a temp meter would be nice and I'm working on installing one now. In terms of ability and for it's size, the 2210 is one best bangs for the dollar. I have yet to be disappointed in my 2210 and it will be 2-years old this Jan.
