I've used the TSC grease before. Got a new Kubota SVL and have switched all the lubes to Amsoil. 1044 hrs and so far so good.

Unless you need a high temp grease for a fast running bearing, use any grease spec that is EP ( Extreme Pressure). Almost everything on a tractor is slow moving with a high load on it. The addition of Molly would be a plus. The molly separates the moving metal parts and is sacrificial. The...

I have one like the Titan and it sits in the weeds. That type of grapple will twist when you grab a uneven load. The hydraulic cylinders tore out of the frame on both sides. I now have one from Skidsteerattachments.com. It has separate grapples and is build really well. I break up concrete slabs...

Hope you have it repaired by now but if not, the first thing to check is the hydraulic fluid level.

I have a 2017 SVL75-2 with 800 hrs on it. It will droop to the ground within a day but not as fast as yours.

What kind of life should I get from a set of drive sprockets on a Kubota 75-2? I wash out the undercarriage after each job. Getting ready to turn 800 hrs. on machine and the sprockets are showing about 3/4 worn.

If you are talking about the outside latch, yes it can be a pain to get open at times. I spray lube in the latch button to get it to push in a little easier. I don't have a problem with the inside latch.

No, no self leveler.

Thats what I was thinking too. But since it has only happened 2 times, I guess I'll have to wait for it to get worse before I can track it down.

This has happened twice while working machine loading dirt. When I lift a bucket of dirt and return the bucket control to the neutral position, the bucket begins to dump the material and I can hear a whining sound under seat. If I raise the bucket to stop the drop, it will raise up but drop...

There is a rebuilt short block on E-Bay for $3700. Do a search for Perkins 3034

Like you said, pretty straight forward. Good luck.

Hello all. Ive been lurking in the shadows for some months reading the posts. I have found them very informative and enjoy reading instead of watching the boob tube. I have a Cat 257B and have been doing small jobs around the area. Still learning how to level dirt but its coming along. Glad you...

Rolled my Cat 257B while digging a trench for the dirt. Backed too close to the edge and it gave way. Machine rolled in onto its left side and almost upside down. Dirt was soft sand and it was a slow roll. I was able to climb out the front but still got bruised shoulder. Very scary. I,m a lot...
