Tractor Wont Start

[armchairarborist]

there seems to be a reoccurring theme here of folk ignoring tractor maintainance, they will last much longer with a fluid check/change every so often, it doesn't take long and is far cheaper than finding out later when its broken:thumbup: just don't buy your oils from halfords or the petrol station:ohmy:

we have a kubota b3030 at work and although it starts so far every day in the cold its the most god awful tractor known to man in terms of the front loader, even if its just zero or minus 2 -3, let alone the minus 15 we got. The controls for the loader inside the cab are connected to two cables that pass out to the valve block and freeze solid. takes a good 20 - 40 minutes sitting in the shed on idle to that out before you can move the loader in any way.

So have learned to park it with loader off the ground so at least tractor can be used or moved out of shed at least. Was the same all last winter and had kubota dealer out to look at it a few times and theres no solution apart from take the sheath the cables run in off or cut hole at lowest point to let any condensation drain out.

 

Definetly a tractor that needs a heated shed/tropical climate.
