2040 hydraulic problems

After the hydraulic oil on my JD2040 gets hot I start having hydraulic control problems. I was told I have a valve problem. Is this a check valve? Do I have to separate the tractor to repair . Could It be something else? Should a novice try this kind of repair? Thanks

Always Hot Battery Power Lead

Unless there is a substantial moon, our farm is darker than 10 feet down a well at night. Many times I've tried to find the keyhole or the glovebox knob in the dark and had to pull out my phone - if I had it - to make with the flashy light.

So some time ago, I bought a Kubota dome light. I know this is risky but I'd like to hook it up to non-switched, always on DC. That way, I can flip a switch on the dash to light up the cab. I am pretty sure I can feel my way to that.

I know there are...

Doors for RTV X900

My dealer says my X900 should be ready next week. I have been considering doors for cold weather but would like some that can be easily removed as I do not want them on the vehicle for most of the year. It seems some type of fabric doors would be the best option but zippers and velcro closures seem like they would be a hassle. I saw some from Seizmic that have frames for $900 which seems a little high.

Any advice or personal experience on doors?

Cruise control

As some of you know we do agricultural spraying with our X1100c. In March I started looking for a manufacturer that makes a cruise control for the Kubotas. After a lot of research I came across a company called McCruise in Australia. Due to the pandemic they have had issues getting parts but finally they arrived and they shipped out a unit. Priced at 1775.00 aud or about $1400.00 Usd it’s a pretty good investment. I’m telling you about this because it arrived today.
Im in southern Oregon...

Kubota RTV 900 stops abruptly

When in a forward gear and coasting to a stop, my Kubota stops forward motion abruptly when I take my foot off the fuel. Almost like a lurch. I suspect my transmission linkage is too tight, leaving no free play to neutral for the machine to coast to a stop, or maybe the brakes are too tight and dragging?. .Any advice on this?. I'm a new owner of a 2006 with 560 hours on it.

RTV Boss Plow

I'll post a couple pics here in case anyone is ever interested in getting a Boss plow for their RTV. I just put the three skid shoes on it today.

I haven't stiffened up my front suspension and don't think I need to. No real droop when I pick it up.

I am impressed with how high it lifts.

Later on I'll take it off and see if I am still going to be able to put my receiver mounted winch back on without removing the one part of the mount bracket, but it is only a couple bolts for that piece...
