  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 มี.ค. 2022
  • Today I'll demonstrate the basic functions of compact and sub-compact tractors. This may help the first-time tractor owner or someone shopping for a tractor. I'll talk about the 3 point hitch, PTO, Front End Loader FEL, 4x4, tires, ROPS, SSQA bucket, and more! This video is intended for entertainment purposes only.

    Really well done Ed. I think you covered all the basics. As others have said, you have a great, calm, "judgement-free" presentation style that I think will really resonate with the target audience of this video. I could easily see you turning this into a series...functions, safety, implements, etc.
    Also, loved the extra clips and...I really gotta' respect a man willing to cram himself into his loader bucket for the sake of his craft! Kudos my friend! 👍👏👍👏

    Thank you for all this helpful info. I came in search of how to open the hood, and you skipped that part. You reached down and opened the hood without telling us how. That was the only thing I came to TH-cam today to learn. My battery was dead and I couldn’t figure out how to open the hood. After going through other videos, I learned there is a circle ring like thing you need to pull while lifting the hood from the bottom. The ring is on the left side as you face the tractor, near the front, at the bottom edge of the hood. You also have to pull the grill bar forward out of the way to lift the hood.

    Good video. I wish I had found it before using my new tractor. One thing I have not found anywhere is when to use which range setting -- LMH -- except most say stay in low w high throttle when doing heavy work. But I cannot figure out how to shift between them without grinding gears unless I take my foot off the pedal. When I do that, the tractor stops. This makes shifting on the road dangerous. I have found all kinds of information on differences between regular transmission w clutch and hydrostatic but nothing about how to drive the hydrostatic other than pushing on the forward or backward pedal.

    • @MyClutteredGarage
      @MyClutteredGarage  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you Pamela. The general rule of thumb, and kind of coined by Neil Messick, is L for loader work, M for mowing, and H four highway. You’ll want to select your range while stopped with your foot off the pedal. There is no “shifting”. I hope this helps. Don’t hesitate to reach out again! -Ed

    Very nice video. One comment I would like to add. Glow plugs heat the combustion chamber. I have a John Deere 758 and a 1025. They have preheaters for the intake air not glow plugs. Don't ever use starting fluid in a preheater system. If you spray starting fluid into the intake then turn on the preheater you could blow the intake system off the tractor. Will ruin the start of a good day. Your owners manual adresses this issue. At O degrees I cycle my preheater 3 times then hit the starter. It always starts. Have a good day.

      I know of someone who did just that Charles. It was a really expensive repair too. I don't like to use starting fluid at all. If I ever do, it will be a very last resort.
      One trick my Kubota dealer taught me was to cycle the glow plugs like you mentioned and just bump the starter without turning over the engine. That gives a breath or two of warm air inside to aid in starting. I keep my tractor inside and plug in the block heater about an hour usually before attempting to start. It has always fired right up. I then let it run for about 90 seconds before I attempt to move it and then run it very slowly until a
      the oils and gear lubricants get a chance to flow and warm a bit.

    Thank you. This was great. I am currently doing my research on tractor purchase and looking at cheaper options including a refurbished Kubota L2402DT 4X4. The company has been refurbishing them for a couple of decades. He said the old models being more basic have less to go wrong (than with all the electrical components). It has new attachments. There is also an old (1994) L1501 for sale locally at a cheap price but it is 2 WD. You mention only using 4 WD when needed. Is this similar to when needing it in a vehicle eg, sandy or muddy conditions? Can a 2WD handle undulating land (where I might put my Ute into 4 wd). Thank you.

    • @MyClutteredGarage
      @MyClutteredGarage  4 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Personally, I would not be without a 4WD tractor. Especially the smaller ones. They are lighter and often need that extra traction. I don’t think there are a lot of electronics to worry about with no tractors, especially under 26 hp. The only real electronics on mine are micro switches that keep the tractor from running in unsafe conditions. That said, there’s certainly nothing wrong with buying an older tractor either if it has the features and functions you need!

    • @MyClutteredGarage
      @MyClutteredGarage  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It all depends on the load and the terrain. If you have a lot of weight in the bucket, you may need four-wheel-drive when backing up. Using four-wheel-drive, while maneuvering with the bucket can tear up the ground quickly. My general rule of thumb is to not use four-wheel-drive unless I need it. Thanks for watching!

    In your final statements, you suggest not using 4WD unless you need it. But I don't know how you turn 4WD on, or off. Is one a "default" - - like is the tractor always in 4WD unless you lock into front wheel drive (is that the same as two wheel drive)? I understand that these questions show what a newbie I am, but I am really confused by the transmission, the PTO and how one influences the other. My L2850 is sitting out in a drenching rainstorm at the moment, because I got myself confused. I want to check the level of the transmission fluid: maybe I have a wonky clutch, but I guess I should figure out where the "normal/routine" positions for the front wheel drive lever, the hi-lo gear shift lever, the position control lever and the draft control lever. And when do you change them to one of their different settings?

      Hi WW. I’m not familiar with the controls on the L2850. Maybe a local Kubota dealer would help you out? Or maybe their mechanic might come out to your place for a small fee? The default mode should be 2 wheel drive and there should be a lever to engage 4x4. I found this manual online. Maybe this will help. No concerns about being a “newbie”. It’s all a learning process.
