That’s crazy. I have and had 4 kubotas over the years, none with less than 1300 hrs at the time of this writing. Have never replaced a belt or a mower deck bearing in one of them. Taking out a belt in 30 hrs is not rust or humidity. It would seem that even some misalignment would not suffice?

I use 91 non oxy premium in all the 2 cycle stuff, and recommend yit for my daughters snowblower and mower since she isn’t conducive to treating it, or running the carb dry when she puts it away. All the 2 cycle gets Sea Foam. Since I started doing that 20 yrs ago I have not made a trip to the...

Isn’t condensation caused by the difference in temps between inside the tank, and outside, with a little bit of humidity thrown in? Condensation doesn’t leak in through a gas cap. Asking for a friend!

I use mulching blades on my Kubota 72” deck and made a wooden cover to block the flow of grass and leaves from freely flowing out. In this board I drilled about 4-5 large holes to allow air to flow thru. As for the quality of the grass cut, it does seem to be that bad at all. BTW, once I get to...

I have a Stihl saw and leaf blower. I thoroughly dislike EZ starts. I have a bigger jonsrud with a compression release. Love it. I do get both the Stihls started, but one must follow the ”process” waiting for the poor. Lol

Looking for a snow blower that fits a F2560 Kubota front mount. Kubota no longer makes that model, so used is my only option. Thanks.

I use non oxygenated premium, mix in 50:1 oil and add a touch of Sea Foam. Have two saws, leaf blower, and string trimmer and have not seen the inside of a small engine repair shop in over 15 years!

Never Seize !

This may indeed be too high, but as a rule I will always ratner have a good used older model, than the newer stuff they put out now. I have a G2000 with a 60” deck, and a F2560 with a 72” deck. Both about 25 yrs old. Just comparing the decks alone to newer decks is impressive.

I have have 3 Kubotas. 2 wtih 60” decks and a 72” one. All have the same blade setup. all three use two concave washers, cup end up. I use an air impact on mine to take them off and on. NeverSieze on both splines and threads. I would never run it with one washer. Not sure of others, but if that...

I sort of use whatever. Even if I ran 5 gals through my stuff the amount of oil is so insignificant the cost isn’t a factor. What is o find significant is using non ethanol for this application, since ethanol gas burns hotter. Also I treat each gallon mix with Sea Foam. I started this about 10...
