@@johndowe7003 I'm 70 yrs old and I'm so glad I grew up in the time that I did . Now days with the internet all the scammers , fake news , kids don't know if they want to be a boy or girl , people don't know what to believe . I do believe this guy Warren is telling the truth because he takes these machines apart & can physically show you the difference in design , he's not a salesmen , he's telling you how it is .
And 90% of the Kubota lawn tractors don't even have Kubota engines in them, either Kawasaki, Briggs and Stratton, or Techumseh. For anyone that tries comparing that to these large ones, needs their head examined. Keep up the great work Warren!!
This is the first video of yours that I watched . I'm one of those small Kubota tractor guys you mentioned and I never knew about the large commercial tractors being so complicated . I would think if they designed that engine like that it would be bullet proof and last 3 -4 times what a traditionally designed would . I'm subscribing to your channel , I like a guy that knows what there talking about and being honest . I am 70 yrs old and I've always liked machines that were simply designed . Thank you for sharing your knowledge !
Masterpiece Rant!!! Lol...you go Warren! Another way to relieve stress is throw that 1-1/4" Combo Wrench as hard as you can across the shop...does wonders for the soul!
You are exactly right about factories getting the lowest bidder to reman their engines. Every manufacturer does that. The bottom line is all they think about unfortunately, have had my share with reman stuff, and best you can hope for when a customer gets one is 50% of them living. Just my experience, and I rebuild mine every time it’s possible, screw reman junk.
Warren, what you are doing and the way that you do it is what has made this country stand apart from so many others. You're a true patriot my friend. Blazing your own trail and proving time and time again that REAL VALUE in ANY field comes from someone who knows to look for a CAUSE before looking to R&R. Your customers should be as thankful as we are for the way you do your work. God bless you, your business and your family.
Warren, you are one of the few that give me hope to have some kind of faith in people. I whole heartedly thank you for that!!! You videos are dynamite as well lol
Kubota garden tractor owner here (one of those 3 cylinder diesel BX models like you mentioned). I agree with your point...my tractor has about as much in common with that Kubota you have there as a John Deere garden tractor from one of the big box stores does with the John Deere you have. They just share the same nameplate and paint color.
Same here, only older believe a B7200 HST 1986 vintage. Great little unit, however I am the ONLY operator and it gets proper maintenance. So how DOES one compare it to what Warren is working on?? Not possible!
Absolutely loved your experienced-honest analysis on the state of big tractor engine design. Unbelievable! U r terrific sir!👨🔧 Your videos clearly show both general audience & owners/investors the benefit of precise maintenance & pro level 'hands-on' mechanical guys like you! Hatsoff & salute you sir! Now stay safe..+ take care of your beautiful puppies!🤗
Love your videos. Keep doing it your way. Great entertainment. I'm recovering from leukemia and can't do much right now. You make me laugh and it's great medicine. Thank you, take care and may God Bless.
Alot of people think their little tractors are comparable because the stupid little 30hp tractors cost like $25,000. What they fail to realize is that these larger tractors cost over $100,000 when they are new. I have a 70hp tractor that weighs about 10,000# with loader and the tires loaded. When I load it on the trailer most people are surprised at how heavy it actually is. I consider my tractor a "small" ranch/farm tractor anything smaller is a garden tractor. This goes for newer equipment, older stuff is always under-rated and alot heavier iron. Thanks for the videos!!!
Keep up the good work Warren! Hearing facts from a true mechanic is what we need to hear! I'd love to buy a small Kubota tractor but like you said that is a whole different world with maintenance and an operator that cares!
There’s very few people left in the world that Tell THE TRUTH , you my friend are the last hold out !, you speak the truth no matter whom it pisses off and we all appreciate it ! Keep ranting and telling it like it is Warren ! We got your back comrade 🤣🤣🤣
Yup diesel mechanics are in short supply. Some guy I know are getting anywhere from 90$ an hour to 130$ an hour , 12 Hr shifts and standby time aswell. Good money out here in tx
Warren I enjoy your videos. The reason I do is because who you are. No bull to the point and a honest hard working American. I am not happy with our current situation either but I am a American and proud. Keep on Rollin and give those puppies a hug for this ole guy in Texas.
No in his campaign he was told he was going to give us all free engine and now that he is in office he is being told we can't have those engines because our taxes are going up to fund engine remanufacturing company's in another country
After watching this, I finally subscribed!!! I've been saying for many years, if Kubota's are as dependable as some lead us to believe. Then why do you not see them in the fields as much as Deere, CNH or Agco tractors. 9 out of 10 on youtube that boast about Kubota reliability are those who are compact tractor owners with a couple acres. I have a good friend of mine that has owned Kubota's (100hp tractors) for many many years, he buys them brand new BUT will trade them off between 1200 to 1500 hours max on them. At the same time, he owns Deere tractors, these are 7 series MFWD's that he purchases USED with 2500 hours on the low end and keeps for the long run.
First!!!!!!!! Give them hell Warren!!!!! You, J.C. Smith and I have the same opinion on remans!!!! I've never had one of my engines come back! They want people to buy new not repair or pay out the ass. Check with LMC Truck they might have what you need.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experiences!!! Appears the facts would negate buying the orange product. Keep on “ Telling like it is”. You are passionate about your profession and I find the truth refreshing from an experienced pro.
I go to a major tractor and farm equipment auction several times a year looking for projects and or deals.Last October or November I was there and looking for a decent 60 HP range loader tractor. There was a line of 8 down right good looking Kubota's in the right HP range with loaders and all 4WD. All were under 5 years old and all were under 2000 hours. Started them one at a time and every single one of them soaked my arm with oil when I pulled the dip stick when they were running to check for bottom end blowby. Ended up with a JD 5203 with loader. People with Kubota's seem to be as brand loyal as Harley owners but as you pointed out in an exceptional way they are a bear to fix and God help you when something major goes wrong. I had a major sell out last fall and sold 90% of my tractors and equipment for what turned out to be top dollar. THEN wife said let's keep the place for a few more years so I'm buying to replace what I sold. I'd kept a 80's era JD 1250 made by Yanmar (fave tractor) bought the JD 5203 with loader (goodun made in India) and just bought a new JD 5075E 75 HP with cab and air (assembled in U.S.A.) and some other equipment. So, I got a barn full of John Deere's but since they were made in Japan,India, and the U.S. they can't talk to one another lol.
Good Rant Warren!!!! We run into funky crap all the time. Don't always have the time to do all the work ourselves, but definitely try to do most of it! It's getting parts anymore.. but that's another story 🙄
Your Absolutely RIGHT. And NO ONE Takes PRIDE in their WORK like You and I do and We are a DYING BREED. And Im not saying just us 2 are the only ones left. But People like us that take pride in our Workmenship is a Dying breed....I know that motor will last alot longer you rebuilding it I know for a FACT.. Thank You for SHARING....
Jim here from Calgary, Ab really enjoy watching your. Videos. Come from a farm back Ground and learning a lot from your knowledge… Keep up the great work thanks again
I agree with you my friend we all need to keep one eye behind you because this country is ready to explode take care buddy I liked kabota until I seen you work on them there no reason for what they do
@@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin Come to think of it I believe we did a clutch on the 8950 around 1300 hours lol. Revising my claim the old 4050 is a tank lol
When I was a transport mechanic we had issues with sour re-man engines about 40% of the time. Some of the workmanship on those was appalling. Blocks machined improperly, head bolts that weren't torqued, bent rocker shafts, cam bearings misaligned, gaskets and seals damaged on assembly, rods with 0 side clearance, cross threaded bolts, etc. One gas engine, a truck 427 GMC, had only one head torqued down. The other side had the bolts snugged to maybe a "hand tight" 30-ish ft-lbs - but it was obvious that they forgot to torque both heads completely. It burned a groove between two cylinders on the block when the head gasket let go. We were amazed it held water. One local contract production line machine shop that re-built 'factory re-man' engines paid their unskilled workforce barely above minimum wage. Think about that - the idiots putting those engines together are on-par ethically, educationally and motivationally with someone who works at McD's.
I went to McDonald's last week..i said to the drivethru, i want half dozen nuggets a hamburger and a coke..the voice said back to me "we dont have half dozen, we have 6 9 and 12 sir"...go figure huh?
I had that. Years ago I had a 50 series reman put in my old 8430. Tillage only. The very day the warranty expired I was disking and it threw a rod. I called the dealer at 4:00. The owner about had a stroke, but they stood behind it. Got another one and it has been in there probably 2500 hours. It has been a good tractor again - like it was when it was new. I hope that engine lasts the rest of my farming career.
THANKS enjoy your opinion as it is more reliable than most. Everything is designed to wear out and fail. Thanks for your work in keeping this old iron going from trucks to tractors, you are a superhero
A buddy of mine has a Orange machine, about the same size as the one you’re working on, has had it for three years and has to replace front end parts each year like clock work
From one field mechanic to another I love watching your video's Warren, seeing your dogs hang out with you at the garage and riding with you in the truck. I also love video's like this because you say exactly what's on my mind . Kubota is really stupid engineered.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, TELL IT Warren!!!!! Yeeeeha!!!!! Now we'r telling like it is, F..kem if they can not take it. Every thing as gotten completely out of control in the wrong way!!!!!
You tell the truth because you have integrity, a rare quality in people these days. the reason others don't like it is because they don't have integrity and it makes them look bad. Nothing better than having pride in one's work. thanks for the vids.
Warren I admire how hard you work and how you deal with the troubles you run into . The way I deal with working on something that gives me grief is funny. I talk to myself in your voice . It seems to work and somehow helps to get the job done. Thank you for your videos!
Worked on a lot of the smaller Kubota diesel 23hp 3 cylinder engines fitting to commercial ride on mowers. Regular cracking on the cylinder heads between the exhaust valves when overheated RRP on these heads was around £1000 and that was around 5 years ago!
KOMRADE! We love your videos and are quite happy when our glorious leaders at UA-cam allow us to watch them. In all seriousness, but not too serious, I've always wondered what the advantage each tractor manufacturer had over others. It is people like you that the design enginerds need to have conversations with.
WOW Warren, That was your Best Rant Ever !!! People just don't like to hear the Truth !!! If I could give you 100 Likes I would, For every Idiot out there, Thousands of us Really Appreciate what you do, Your Honesty, Integrity, Work Ethic are second to None !!! Thanks Mate (not comrad) Stay Safe and please keep educating us
J.C. Smith projects just tore apart a small block Chevy engine, never been started, purchased from Summit Racing. What he found was not good. Basically a spray can rebuild.
Yeah but most guys don't check the engines before they install they just go ahead and install it thinking it's all good without taking shit apart first. Thunderhead always takes his ford motors apart and checks them before he installs it. It's a bit different on these larger motors though .
An honest opinion and advice from a well respected, honest mechanic such as yourself Warren, is all any fair dinkum person asks and should expect. Thank you for your honesty and frankness. Greatly appreciated.
M8 Kubota made by Versatile has Cummins engines. Kubota dealer near me says there is a stop sale order on them due to axle problems related to FEL overload (See the comment about kubotas with annual front end repairs)
@@gordonborsboom7460 thanks I thought any large tractors greater than 99hp have other manufacturers engines. I will never buy Kubota because I hate orange
Hey Warren, after seeing this video it sure reminds me of what has been happening in the Auto industry as well. If seen some real nightmares. From engines that burn oil to the issues with turbochargers. Even the transmission in some of these newer cars is a poor design .The CVT transmissions were junk in my opinion too. Fords design of the Eco-boost engines had a serious flaws too. By switching to a high pressure fuel pump and direct injection they discovered later the intake valves were coking and the cylinders were losing compression because the valves started leaking due to the build up which prevented them from closing. Their fix was to add sequential fuel injection. This kept the valves from coking. On that same engine Ford put the water pump inside the timing case and when the water pump fails and leaks antifreeze pours into the oil pan and seizes the engine. Their fix was to put an idler pulley in the pumps place and mounting the pump outside the crankcase with a gaudy set of tubes that are routed outside of the crankcase. I could go on I’ve heard some real nightmare stories with vehicles designed from the late 1990’s up to today. It all begs the question “ what the hell were these designers doing. What ever happened to proving a design before putting it into production. The prices and designers for these newer vehicles is rediculous. I enjoy your perspective and your ability to work on a wide variety of tractors and vehicles.
The dumbass doesn’t realize that whatever makes the electricity emits carbon dioxide. Which, by the way, every living thing on this earth needs to survive. Hydro-electric is the cleanest energy going but you have to take in environmental degradation with reservoirs and marine life. Everything is a trade off and no one way is all good or all bad. It’s just who can impose their will on the most people.
So true. %100 right on...with everything. Just be sure you know where you're going in the end brother. Don't write that nagging feeling off if you have it. There will be life after death, one of 2 places. And it has nothing to do with good vs bad. I'm not a kook, just felt the need to share. Love the content!
I totally understand what you're saying, the weekend farmers on their lawnmowers have no idea what your talking about, I'm a field mechanic down in Texas and people always have comments, Kubota is highly overrated in my opinion.
I just thought I would share the definition of Comrade taken from the Webster’s Dictionary (copyright 1991 by Random House, Inc) says: Comrade: 1. A person Who shares in one’s activities, occupation, etc; companion, associate, or friend. 2. A fellow member of a fraternal group, political party, etc. 3. A Communist or fellow Communist - Communist: 1. A member of a Communist Party. 2. An advocate of communism. 3. A person who is regarded as supporting politically leftist or subversive causes.
Warren, I look forward to all of your videos and keep telling us what you REALLY think! It doesn't offend me, everyone has their right to their own opinions, this is YOUR channel and if viewers don't agree and are offended, that's THEIR problem.
Corruption in government they sold us down the river, because we are afraid to use our second amendment for the reason it was given to us . WE are responsible for that .🐔💩 When we let them take us off the gold standard that’s when it started. Democrats and Republicans are both fucking worthless.
Absolute legend! Can’t beat the truth, there’s an old saying if you want a job doing do it yourself!!! The video is what I expected, good detail, truth, comparisons, free advice and lots of common sense 👍 regards, Luke 🇬🇧🔧
Warren, these comments from folks that talk about there tractors..I wouldn't even recognise them. They have nooooo idea what it's like doing commercial maintenance in the real world. I've seen it and experience these shops and they suck...mostly. they have a shit ton of customers and your just a number. Keep your honesty and keep your morals. That's why you have the loyal subs you have...
@@Prariedog I guess FOX, Newsmax and OAN didn't air anything about Trump's Depends. Man took so many drugs for so long that it wrecked his guts...craps his diapers all day long.
You are 100 % correct about remanufactured engines . Cheaper and safer to do it yourself. I can warranty my work but I can't someone else's. Kubota tractors are decent but I'd rather have a case or deere . We have ran a couple of kubota 80 hp tractors with loaders but we learned fast that they can be lemons . Keep up the good work and stay safe !
And this is why I watch Warren's videos.
So true. Tech skills, the rants and learning what to watch for on the engines. Keep em coming.
Yep, no sugar coating lol
Me too comrade, me too
Call it as you see it. Its one of the reasons I watch your videos, l like the take no prisoners attitude
Thanks for the video comrade Warren. Your commitment to the party is appreciated and will keep you out of the gulag, for now.
Not green be brown
My older brother gave me advice I’ve used my whole adult life. Never worry about who you piss off... as long as you are doing it with the truth.
I fn love this guy. Most people that complain are the ones not fixing anything.
true honest hard working man just telling it how it is
Honest people are hard to find nowadays. That’s how I was brought up speak your mind and tell the truth.

Warren you are outstanding. Keep doing what you are
A buddy of mine has a Orange machine, about the same size as the one you’re working on, has had it for three years and has to replace front end parts each year like clock work
Warren don't apologize for saying what you know and believe! Keep up the honesty.
I love your storys ,I'd love to visit and swap storys sometime ,you keep your chin up and do it right like always ,bad never works for no one!
Well done Warren.....the truth shall set you free....thats why i love watching your videos
It is what it is , always entertaining (comrade) Warren.
From one field mechanic to another I love watching your video's Warren, seeing your dogs hang out with you at the garage and riding with you in the truck. I also love video's like this because you say exactly what's on my mind . Kubota is really stupid engineered.
Not disagreeing with you but please tell me why you think this.
Your rebuild will be done right.
Happy customer, happy days.
Warren Ive been watching your videos going on two years now and have liked everyone of them . Thankyou
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, TELL IT Warren!!!!! Yeeeeha!!!!! Now we'r telling like it is, F..kem if they can not take it. Every thing as gotten completely out of control in the wrong way!!!!!
Good one Warren! No blowing smoke, honest truth, nothing better.
Let me tell you. You are one of the best I wish you was in the Midwest.
Wise words from a guy who actually knows what he is talking about! Keep up the videos they re great!!
Lol at the Kubota garden tractor owners.
Laugh all ya want stupid they aint garden tractors to start with so you just shown how fucking ignorant you are off the bat
YEPPER >>BUY the cheapest thing you can & When it comes to repairs ,,start screaming ,,,HELP !!!!
@@KB-gs8zi Or pay a bunch and have a no power pile of shit like a Massey 2615 .my fucking bx Kubota will out run the pile of shit up hill mowing hay
@@ChrisComp lol
@@ChrisComp you DEFINITELY own a kubota😂
You tell the truth because you have integrity, a rare quality in people these days. the reason others don't like it is because they don't have integrity and it makes them look bad. Nothing better than having pride in one's work. thanks for the vids.
Keep the videos coming comrade warren 😂😂😂😂
Don't apologize. Another awesome video with honest truth based on facts! Thank you!!
Great story time. I'm watching the video again incase I missed a swear word or 2. Thanks for sharing.
Warren I admire how hard you work and how you deal with the troubles you run into . The way I deal with working on something that gives me grief is funny. I talk to myself in your voice . It seems to work and somehow helps to get the job done.
Thank you for your videos!
I agree with you 💯!! On kubota!! They are junk!!!
Yes, But, I like them.
Worked on a lot of the smaller Kubota diesel 23hp 3 cylinder engines fitting to commercial ride on mowers. Regular cracking on the cylinder heads between the exhaust valves when overheated RRP on these heads was around £1000 and that was around 5 years ago!
I'm a diesel mechanic
KOMRADE! We love your videos and are quite happy when our glorious leaders at UA-cam allow us to watch them.
In all seriousness, but not too serious, I've always wondered what the advantage each tractor manufacturer had over others. It is people like you that the design enginerds need to have conversations with.
Wow I knew there was more about what happened to that engine.
WOW Warren, That was your Best Rant Ever !!!
People just don't like to hear the Truth !!!
If I could give you 100 Likes I would, For every Idiot out there, Thousands of us Really Appreciate what you do, Your Honesty, Integrity, Work Ethic are second to None !!!
Thanks Mate (not comrad) Stay Safe and please keep educating us
J.C. Smith projects just tore apart a small block Chevy engine, never been started, purchased from Summit Racing. What he found was not good. Basically a spray can rebuild.
Yeah but most guys don't check the engines before they install they just go ahead and install it thinking it's all good without taking shit apart first. Thunderhead always takes his ford motors apart and checks them before he installs it. It's a bit different on these larger motors though .
An honest opinion and advice from a well respected, honest mechanic such as yourself Warren, is all any fair dinkum person asks and should expect. Thank you for your honesty and frankness. Greatly appreciated.
No idea what your ranting about but its a West video! comrade warren
Always heard good things about Kabota, you laid it out straight and I can’t argue with that. Great video. Thank you for telling it how it is.
Best video ever, I thought they have Cummins engine.
M8 Kubota made by Versatile has Cummins engines.
Kubota dealer near me says there is a stop sale order on them due to axle problems related to FEL overload
(See the comment about kubotas with annual front end repairs)
@@gordonborsboom7460 thanks I thought any large tractors greater than 99hp have other manufacturers engines. I will never buy Kubota because I hate orange
Thanks much for the video Warren. Appreciate your honesty, not enough of that around these day. Keep up the good work.
Funny. Saved some propane to heat the shop on that one. Ive done that.
Hey Warren, after seeing this video it sure reminds me of what has been happening in the Auto industry as well. If seen some real nightmares. From engines that burn oil to the issues with turbochargers. Even the transmission in some of these newer cars is a poor design .The CVT transmissions were junk in my opinion too. Fords design of the Eco-boost engines had a serious flaws too. By switching to a high pressure fuel pump and direct injection they discovered later the intake valves were coking and the cylinders were losing compression because the valves started leaking due to the build up which prevented them from closing. Their fix was to add sequential fuel injection. This kept the valves from coking. On that same engine Ford put the water pump inside the timing case and when the water pump fails and leaks antifreeze pours into the oil pan and seizes the engine. Their fix was to put an idler pulley in the pumps place and mounting the pump outside the crankcase with a gaudy set of tubes that are routed outside of the crankcase. I could go on I’ve heard some real nightmare stories with vehicles designed from the late 1990’s up to today. It all begs the question “ what the hell were these designers doing. What ever happened to proving a design before putting it into production. The prices and designers for these newer vehicles is rediculous. I enjoy your perspective and your ability to work on a wide variety of tractors and vehicles.
Gavin will fix everything when he makes everything electric. Electricity makes no emissions!
Oh but it does !
@@tectalabyss I hope my sarcasm did not go unnoticed.
@@dozer1642 I see. Thank you.
The dumbass doesn’t realize that whatever makes the electricity emits carbon dioxide. Which, by the way, every living thing on this earth needs to survive. Hydro-electric is the cleanest energy going but you have to take in environmental degradation with reservoirs and marine life. Everything is a trade off and no one way is all good or all bad. It’s just who can impose their will on the most people.
Over 500 comments and basically all upbeat and positive......awesome video Warren!!! Keep ‘em coming Komrade!!!!
keep 'em coming comrade!
So true. %100 right on...with everything. Just be sure you know where you're going in the end brother. Don't write that nagging feeling off if you have it. There will be life after death, one of 2 places. And it has nothing to do with good vs bad. I'm not a kook, just felt the need to share. Love the content!
Telling it like it is. Good for you.😂 Opening comments.
I totally understand what you're saying, the weekend farmers on their lawnmowers have no idea what your talking about, I'm a field mechanic down in Texas and people always have comments, Kubota is highly overrated in my opinion.
I just thought I would share the definition of Comrade taken from the Webster’s Dictionary (copyright 1991 by Random House, Inc) says:
Comrade: 1. A person Who shares in one’s activities, occupation, etc; companion, associate, or friend.
2. A fellow member of a fraternal group, political party, etc.
3. A Communist or fellow Communist -
Communist: 1. A member of a Communist Party.
2. An advocate of communism. 3. A person who is regarded as supporting politically leftist or subversive causes.
Tell it like it is Warren, and the conrad's can choke on it if they don't like it. America needs more honest men like you. God bless.
It's required to pick up a Weiner dog and love on it..................just sayin'
Warren, I look forward to all of your videos and keep telling us what you REALLY think! It doesn't offend me, everyone has their right to their own opinions, this is YOUR channel and if viewers don't agree and are offended, that's THEIR problem.
1970's a person making $12,000 a year could buy a new car and a new house, what happened?
Inflation
@@codemanblue more than inflation, think about it, common citizens were able to live to well!
Corruption in government they sold us down the river, because we are afraid to use our second amendment for the reason it was given to us . WE are responsible for that .🐔💩 When we let them take us off the gold standard that’s when it started. Democrats and Republicans are both fucking worthless.

Absolute legend! Can’t beat the truth, there’s an old saying if you want a job doing do it yourself!!! The video is what I expected, good detail, truth, comparisons, free advice and lots of common sense 👍 regards,

But "Comrade" My garden tractor..........
Warren, these comments from folks that talk about there tractors..I wouldn't even recognise them. They have nooooo idea what it's like doing commercial maintenance in the real world. I've seen it and experience these shops and they suck...mostly. they have a shit ton of customers and your just a number. Keep your honesty and keep your morals. That's why you have the loyal subs you have...

@@Prariedog I guess FOX, Newsmax and OAN didn't air anything about Trump's Depends. Man took so many drugs for so long that it wrecked his guts...craps his diapers all day long.
You are 100 % correct about remanufactured engines . Cheaper and safer to do it yourself. I can warranty my work but I can't someone else's. Kubota tractors are decent but I'd rather have a case or deere . We have ran a couple of kubota 80 hp tractors with loaders but we learned fast that they can be lemons . Keep up the good work and stay safe !
