Hi,
I would definitely check the lift pump,gauze filter may well be blocked,also worth checking the fuel lines as they tend to break down over time,back in the day I recall having to change them on both our p.7 and 8 machines.Nice looking machine though,should serve you well.

Sounds like the 2010 61 I've just purchased might be the right move then guys. I tried an equally tidy u25 at the same time and for cab comfort alone they were incomparable .thanks for the advice,I will try and post some pictures when she lands next week.

You can't buy a u25 new as far as I'm aware! It's been replaced by the u27! The white cab u25 is a great mini but our black cab ones controls felt a little numb! The KX61 is a good machine with more room in the cab! I'd go for the u27 as it's a zero swing and is less likely to recieve any unnecessa...

Hi everyone, I'm currently looking at adding a kubota u25 or kx61 to my small fleet,any views on either machine would be greatly appreciated,thanks.

Regards simon

Hello James,my 2002 contractor has always been a reluctant cold starter,there is a heat position on the ignition,one click off of start.Do this several times before turning over.But I still have to buy a new battery each winter.The hour clock is a digital display on the rev counter,notoriously prone...

Apologies for taking so long to sort out some photos,taken a load of the old girl but cannot seem to load them on here,i'll see if my other half can work it out,again my apologies to anyone expressing interest.

Great I'll try and get some photos over the weekend and get them posted early next week,cheers guys.
