I'm a new tractor owner and I thoroughly enjoy these videos. I'm sorry I don't remember this gentleman's name but he does a fantastic job. He catches every detail and the flow of his presentation is fantastic! Thank you very much for your effort and professionalism.
This young man did a fantastic job explaining tractor operation. Very talented and knowledgeable.
My goodness...I wish my JD salesman was as interested in teaching like this gentleman. I was a new tractor user given a key and “good luck.”
😂
I wish my dealer had gone through a detailed review like you have done. Thanks!
I wish I'd seen this a few years ago when I got my L3301! great job.
Thank you so much for responding. Blessings 💕
Hi Neil, Thank you for the new tractor owner orientation video. I just bought a small subcompact tractor and all the information was very relevant even though it is a much smaller tractor. This is a great video to watch if you just bought your first tractor no matter what size.
Thank you Neil.
Very informative. I'm a power shuttle type guy on the left side of the steering wheel.
Forward and Reverse. Your walk through, Talk through is so interesting for me. I Learn something New about these great work horses every time I watch one of your videos, the one you did with Gentleman as a buyer, never ran a bigger Tractor was excellent. Did not know they had a speed dump for the front bucket.
Thanks for the info!! I always thought the float feature was for when you wanted to raise the front axle off the ground to like take the wheels off or something. Now I know!
Great video for new owners. Looking back years ago when I purchased my first tractor I wish the dealer had showed me how to get three point implements on and off. I can do it like a nascar pit crew does tires now days, but I remember years ago my neighbors’ ears probably bled when I tried to change them.
I like the demonstration of how the tractor works and I wish the sales personnel at the dealership where I got my tractor had explained everything the way you just did.
The best tip I got from the dealer with my first tractor was keep the bucket height low.
One of the best videos I’ve watched. Own an L series and didn’t know many of these features. I’ve been stuck many times and never used the lever. Thanks
Thanks for another great video, I've watched this one about a half dozen times and just bought an MX5800. Can't wait to try it out. Kubota is the way to go. Grasshopper and some Case tractors use Kubota engines and that should tell you something.
Great video Neil ! I was not aware of the floating function of the bucket, other than back dragging chat, what are some of the other possibilities using this function?
Very helpful video, thank you. I feel I am ready to take delivery of my tractor, once I win the lotto!
Really great for newcomers, and maybe even some parts for old timers. :-) thanks!
This is an excellent video of the operation of a Kubota tractor. This man presents the information in an easy to understand manner and is very complete with his explanations.
Thanks Neil ,you were very help full in my choice of tractor kubota mx5200d in australia
ALWAYS put your key on the contact position first before starting the engine. This way, the fuel pump can build up pressure. Never rev the engine in the first 10 seconds, since the oil isn't at full pressure and the camshafts don't have oil yet.
Love how Neil makes complicated simple. Great vid.
I wish this video had been around when I got my first tractor back in lat '13. :( Another great Messin' Neil video!
Nice overview. My new L2501 comes Wednesday. First tractor in 25 years for me. Thanks again.
Looking at getting that exact same one or L3301. How you like it??
Excellent information in this video, especially with the loader bucket dump controls. And burning the excess gas’s on the exhaust pipe side. Great information here. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge
Loved this video. Again, Thank you so much. I actually learned another function of my tractor from your video. Thank you a 100 times. Wish I'd known about you when I bought my KUBOTA. I would have made the trip from S.E. North Carolina. All Dealers should do what you do. God Bless you.
The dealer we purchased a tractor off spent an hour with us on delivery going through the tractor’s features and use. Heck the fellow delivering the tractor spend a bit of time showing us what is what with it.
Thank you Niel, a very useful video for the first time user like me. If you ever re-make this video, could I make one recommendation would be to mention that when adjusting the cutting height on a mid-deck Kubota tractor you need to have the deck fully raised before you can make any adjustments. Doesn't say this in the manual and took me a visit to a dealership to find out about having it raised. Might help a few other owners out there.
Great video, wish Messick's had a dealership in Minnesota.
Dang, I wish Messick’s was near me!
Nice walk through! And you're right- most manuf's units are going to be pretty close to this, save any options or unique features. Color coding makes sense- and some go the additional step of using different heights/shapes to help you find the right control by feel, too. An example would be Deere's PowerReverser tranny. Both range and shift levers are on your Right side, so the range shifter is shorter and the knob is a different shape- just to help make sure you grab the right one. Also never fails to amaze/amuse me how fearful some folks on youtube are of emissions systems. They really aren't that big a deal- esp now that we're several generations in, and much of the problems have been engineered out. I hated the concept of DEF- until I got a truck that had it. It's been FAR more reliable than the DPF only trucks I had before. Those worked great, when I first got them, but as it wore- I spent more time broken down than driving... I'm 330,000 miles in on this truck, and this is the first time I've had it worked on- and it was the result of a check engine light, NOT a breakdown,lol. I'll take the extra couple minutes to fill an extra tank every 2 or 3 fill ups over constant problems any day!
I honestly don't understand the hate a lot of modern diesels get. I'm more of a truck guy than a tractor guy, but there is so much fear and hatred for modern engines, it's ridiculous. Looking at power numbers, modern engines are making double the power and torque, with equal or better mileage, and drastically less emissions. I'm lucky that I grew up after and away from the crazy smog and pollution of years gone by, but who would want to return to that? It just doesn't make sense.
I think the fear and hatred is due to a lot of the forums online with all the nightmare horror stories of failures, damage, etc. I'm not a diesel/tractor guy, soon to be tractor owner though....but the little diesel experience I have is with old mechanical diesels. Yep I have heard the stories about the DPF/DEF system failures, huge expensive repairs, etc. But, I think a lot has to do with the way people treat their equipment, most just beat the crap out of it, then whine when it breaks down rather than taking care of stuff.
I don't mind the diesel stuff, just haven't had the need for a diesel...well up until I purchase my first tractor that I should have had 30 years ago LOL.
Thank you. Float and speed dump I did not know about. Nice video.
My opinion as a car guy that has been in the auto industry for 25+ years, you do a fantastic walk around and you are an asset to your company. Your videos were a contributing factor in my decision to buy a L3901. Nice Job!
I just wanna say thanks for these. I just got my new 2610 yesterday and the dealer i went through didnt do any of this w me or the wife. These little tutorials are a great way to get acquanted(? Spelling lol) with a new piece of equipment besides thumbing through the manual. On the 4 wheel which symbol is which? Solid square box is 4 wheel right?
hot damm! this is for me, just got a L3901, 10 hours on it now :)
PS, tire juice is not enough for loader work
Awesome. Thank you.
Thank you!
Very knowledgeable! Can I get more info on the clutch on the HST. Particularly when the pedal can be locked down with its pin on L3800/3900.
Thank you for this video and help me understand the operations of my L 2501 a lot better the only difference is is mine is not hydrostatic
Again, GREAT info Neil! Thanks again!
This video was very helpful thank you!
Thank you sir. Love my 2380.
you give a nice presentation on most every video you do,one of the biggest reasons i didnt buy a kubota is the treadle peadle,cant do brake assist turns ,dont have two right feet.brake needs to be on other side of tractor and hydralics are not strong enough.
Nice video, I wish I was in PA. My dealer in North Idaho dumped my tractor, mower and snowblower off in my driveway and drove off in a cloud of dust!
John G
Dropped my B2601 off and drove off just sign here and left. So TYVM for these videos you have made.
GREAT video, very good instructional review. i have the L3200 with the 524 loader. What I have never been able to ID its purpose and or use is the u shaped gate with the black knobed pin on the top of the bucket controls base just above the rubber boot. Can you tell me what this is, a free float, lockout? Haven't touched it due to lack of knowledge. Thank you.
Hey Neil, how about doing a full video of the L4060 with LA805 loader and BH92 backhoe? Would love to see it!
Thanks so much for this and for your other videos. Salesmen must realize they are selling information as much as product. At least if they want to sell product. Information is the added value a salesman/dealer brings to the table, or doesn't. Two of my decisions between orange and green have been based on dealers. Such as those who even bother to communicate and those who don't bother.
I have watched your videos a lot because I am getting my first hydro tractor, a B2601. I have had three previous gear tractors. My Dad gave me a short lesson on my first, his B6100, when he gave it to me. The rest I have learned on my own. But I have never had a loader! And today's tractors have so many more features beside that complex attachment.
Agreed!
Hey do you have a similar video for the manual gear shift.
What about when you have another valve on the front so you can operate snowblower of the implements is there something so that you’re not smashing down the implement like you would on the rear of the machine with a dial
Excellent presentation. Thanks
I am a new Kubota L3901 owner with a standard transmission. The dealer wanted to make sure I knew how to drive a stick which I assured him I had. Well come to find out this is not like driving any stick shift in a car! You have to stop before shifting? You can imagine my surprise shifting from first to second gear! So just how do you use these gears? You would not stop your car to shift from first to second. The point being that you graduate speed to get up to a desired running speed. If you want to drive the tractor to a location say down the road, would you start out in 3rd gear because that would be the “cruising” gear? I’m lost. So far I have only stayed in 1st gear. ( I got my tractor a few days ago) my only experience with tractors was my 210c JD years ago. Completely different beast. (Loved that tractor) Love your videos btw. I’m subscribed!
For mowing or other long time at any constant speed, select the gear range that has the hydrostatic pedal near the floor. This is better for the tractor.
Nice overview thank you.
Nice video Neil, very informative. But I kept finding my eyes drifting to the machines in the background, you know, the ones with canopies, and decals that read 10 or 14 feet. LOL. Sorry, I couldn't help it.
Best video ever ! Thank you!
Could you guys do some overviews on your Ferris line of mowers?
9:45 "You may have noticed, but your brain sure did." Subconscious pattern recognition is real.
I just bought a L2501 3 months ago could never understand why they put the hydro pedal with the brake pedals on the same side now I see they wised up and switched them I wish I would have waited now
Make sure you have the brake pedals locked together if you are traveling high speed on the roadway!
A lot of modern tractors have hydro static transmissions and don’t really use the brake pedals to stop
@@coasterfanatic3441 kinda like a poor mans regenerative braking
Here in the Netherlands you must have them linked on public roads. You can get fined if you don't
Yeah, and also keep your seat belt on when in high speed. I was in rabbit mode one day with my BX-25 and wasn't wearing a seat belt. I hit a bump, while going down hill, and almost got knocked out of my seat.
Well, you showed the 2/4 wheel drive controller and discussed the break on the icon, but which one is for 4 wheel drive and which is 2 wheel drive? I want to keep my tractor on 4 wheel drive all the time and I can't figure out how. Thanks
I cannot thank you enough for your videos! I am new to your channel and have watched many of your uploads, some repeatedly, during the past two weeks. I took delivery of a new MX5400 today and this video is what got me up and running. Unfortunately, I received zero help from my dealer. They had some delivery driver just drop it off and leave. The education you provide is immense and much appreciated. If I lived close to you, I would be happy to purchase any of the products you all carry. Tonight ,I did order one of your brush guards for my new tractor. Please keep up the good work and know that we appreciate what you do. The guidance you provide is immeasurable. Thanks, again!
Thanks so much... and thanks for the guard purchase!
Dude you are a rock star!
Great video, I bought a tractor and needed this information.
a glow plug is nothing like a choke . . . a choke restricts air intake and creates a richer fuel charge, a glow plug preheats the combustion chamber/prechamber
I had the same thought. The only similarity is that you may need them to start the engine. But in every other way they are entirely different.
He said to think of it as a choke.
@@edlineback5501 "glow plugs work much like a choke does", but still an effective analogy
Someone doesn't understand analogies...
Welcome to the world of educating through analogy and examples. He explains it very clearly.
Hello, what model/size grooming mower do you recommend for the L2501, 25HP tractor. The FDR1672 or the FDR25 mower?
Picking up my first tractor next week...an L2501. Have small hobby farm but been watching (over and over...LOL) all of the helpful Messick's videos for months. Love 'em. Keep the videos coming Neil.
Woot! Getting my L2501 next Monday! Have a 31 acre property with a half mile road to maintain plus two pastures to Bush Hog.
Starting a hobby farm as well. Good luck to ya!
I own a 2007 B7800. When I engage the PTO it kills the engine, if I quickly disengage the PTO then the engine regains idle and does not die. What am I doing wrong?
I've got an M5-111 and I don't mind the emissions "stuff". However, is there a way to make the tractor regen manually. There have been several times that I'm at about 96% but I'm also nearly done with the task at hand. If there was a way to go ahead and do that regen when I am nearly done but also nearly needing a burn. Anyway JW I like the videos and are very informative.
Only parked
You're the best!!!
Can you use off road diesel
Very well presented. (As usual :) )
How do you put fuel into this thing. Hold a 5 gallon can of fuel up over the hold is tough and messy!
on a ground contact mmm like on the B2650...does the PTO lever control the height? Or do you have to get off tractor and manually adjust all 4 wheels everytime you want to change the mow height??
All ground contact decks cannot be adjusted from the tractor. If it has tractor adjustments, it's not a floating deck.
@@MessicksEquip ok, I want a belly mower but think it will be aggravating having to get off tractor every single time I want/need to change mow height!! Could you do a video about the mmm deck on the B2650 or B3350 so I could see how it works etc?? I am a visual learner and your videos always help me.
At 7:21 while describing the height adjustment of the three point hitch I notice a gray roundish knob. Is that something that you can use to lock in your three point hitch height, a margin so to speak? I watched another video on comparisons of the Kubota and those green tractors. The gentleman was showing how the green tractor had a way to reference where you want your three point hitch to rest when it is in the working mode. (The Kubota he demonstrated only had the quarter inching mechanism to show the difference.) For instance I'm mowing at height "3" but I see an obstacle that might ruin my mower so I raise my hitch then move it back to the level "3" which I have set as my margin. I digress but, I assume that is what the gray knob does?
Yes, that's on this tractor and virtually every other machine.
I just got a L3302 and was going through my owners manual for the tractor and loader to figure out what to set my tire pressure to and the to manual state different psi setting for loader application. Which manual should I use for the psi spec? Loader manual says to do 23 in the front and 14 in the rear and the tractor manual for loader application says 32 in the front and 30 in the rear.
@Messick's Equipment. Any thoughts on this?
Not all have DPF's on them over 26 HP, some have catalyst and do not have a regen!
Correct, DOC only is almost the same thing, but uses a lot of EGR rather than Regen. I have another DPF video that explains the difference in detail. Pros and cons to both.
Great video
Hardly anything was explained to me when I received my LX2610. In looking in the manual I can't find where it says anything about being stopped to engage the differential lock. Is it still true to stop to use the differential lock on the LX series?
Yes
Neil: some of our more advanced operators will use those brake pedals individually to make tighter turns
Me: having driven two cylinder John Deeres since I was 10, but still don't really feel like an 'advanced' operator......lol
Pay attention to the brake and direction control pedals on any tractor you intend to buy. Many do not have the split brake, which is no big deal if you never intend to use that feature, but some, like mine, and a lot of others, have the split brake on the same side as the drive pedals! Guess what.. you can't work the brake and the drive pedals at the same time with one foot!!. I keep saying I'm going to cut a piece of wood to work the brake right/left pedals when (especially) feathering the loader on snow to steer the tractor, but I never have actually gotten around to trying that. It makes absolutely NO sense to have the split brake pedals on the same side as the hydro pedals, yet it's not a rare thing.
Good job. I have one question. Why would my loader lock not work? It won't go from unlock to lock. Thanks
Lubrication
Is this guy the owner he seems way to knowledgeable for an average salesman
Yup
Yea he does
I’ve operated tractors and farm equipment for over 50 years. I’m currently in the process of purchasing a Kubota tractor . I’ve learned more from
Your videos than I ever could have imagined possible. Wish you were closer so I could repay your efforts with a purchase. A sincere thank you for the time and work that goes into these quality videos!
Hi Neal I have an l4701 as well as an mx5200 and an m7060 and the l4701 has run about 60 hours now without going through a regen, I haven’t stopped any regens from happening it just hasn’t gone through it. And I was just wondering if I should take it through a parked regen?
Tyler Johnson Do you run at high rpm
THE RELAX KID yes I usually only use it for mower worker so I’m almost always at 540
Just as Neal states in most of his videos about the dpf and regens. High rpms makes less soot. Have you went through a regen yet
But it might be a good idea to go through A parked regen just to be save
No worries. You can check the soot load meter on the dash if you're curious. I just keep going until it runs.
Neil, what RPM do you run a B2601 to get 540 on the photo? Wayne from Wisconsin
There is a mark on the tach.
When explaining the L-M-H functinon you said you think of L as Loader, M as Mower and H as Highway. I always thought I should run my mower on L. Is this incorrect?
there is some gray area here depending on your conditions. If you have enough power, and your ground is smooth enough to run at a higher speed, there is no reason you can't use medium. I normally do.
So are we supposed to pay full price for these or are we supposed to haggle with them. ??
Immediate click, what’s up Neil!
In the process of looking to buy a tractor and was wondering about what kind of diesel fuel I need to buy. Is it just the normal diesel that u can buy at the gas station or do I need a special ag fuel?
There's really only one type of diesel fuel (not to go into biodiesel or plant based products that have operate similarly to petroleum based diesel.) There is only one type of diesel you can buy at the gas station. The only difference is there is a diesel that has a red dye added to it. Dyed diesel isn't taxed the same as regular diesel and is suitable for use in off highway equipment (tractors, construction heavy equipment, etc.) but when dyed diesel isn't available, regular non-dyed diesel will work just fine. You'll just pay more for the tax on it.
P.S. Don't get caught putting dyed diesel in your pickup truck. The government doesn't like to be cheated.
So I just bought a new BX23S and I told the dealer about these videos. Turns out he watches them as well to help him explain the different options on models he is not as familiar with.
Yea. I've become a bit of a celebrity at meetings.
Witch is this one tractor?
If you have auto glow plugs, is it bad to skip the glow plugs while they’re still heating?
As lot as they are not needed at the time, I can't see how it would be.
Nope, no issues, most new will continue to run after the starting attempt and initial run until up to temp needed
does the tractor shut it self off after parked regen is done?
no
Any way you can do a video on a L with a gear drive non HST.
Specifically what are you looking for?
Messick Farm Equipment How to shift, a non HST tractor L series. What gears to use for loader work, brush hogging, and rear blade work. Why is there 2 throttles? What is the clutch needed for? Is PTO engaged different? I was looking for one, but it seems HST is all that is out there.
Neil, any way you could do a review of the M6S-111 tractor. Thanks so much for all the work you put into the videos!
That's not one you would see around here.
👍🏼
I have a question about the explanation of the hydrostatic pedal. I'm pretty familiar with automotive and aviation mechanics but new to tractors. This explanation suggests not depressing the whole way and this video th-cam.com/video/IfxcZOoRz6g/w-d-xo.html suggests pretty much the exact opposite. Clearly they can't both be correct
My DPF filter will now be referred to as the "Poof" filter.
He's clearly done this a few times for sure.
بكام الجرار 70 حصان
these videos are so helpful in both fulfilling need for tractor porn and information
I have, for the last 8-10 months, contacted Multiple Kubota dealers to purchase a new Kubota. NOT MESSICKS. As a very capable operator and coowner of Kubotas for over 40 years I am beyond disappointed with these dealers because they seemingly don’t/ won’t cooperate with a woman who is a widow. A man/ person used to be as good as his word, but I have lost faith in that honest premise. My husband and I would pay off a 3 piece Kubota set and turn around and buy a new one. The promises these 3 men made me didn’t hold water. As usual the good ole boys don’t want my business. They are not upholding respectful business practices or helping the Kubota company/name. I accidentally found this venue to express my frustrations. Disgrundled old lady in SEMissouri
LOL. Sounds like equality. You’ll have to do your own research, learn fairly and negotiate your own deal. PS - not getting help from sales ppl isn’t new, men have been dealing with this for thousands of years. Welcome.
