  • I wish I had added a wheel spinner to my tractor years ago! In this video I review the Kubota Deluxe Wheel Spinner and cover less expensive but identical alternatives. I also show you how to install it.

    I bought mine from the Kubota dealer. $16 plus tax. It fell off the next day. Went to dealer and got replacement. Tried to put it on. Failed immediately. Went to dealer and they wanted to refund me. I talked them into one more time. It worked very well and stays on. The first two had a very thin piece of metal internal for one of the screws. It only had about 1-2 threads. The final one was thicker and had 4-5 threads. Love it!

    I put one on my riding lawnmower. One hand on the knob, the other holding my phone.

    Could not agree more Martin; such a useful add-on. Got mine from the dealer when I bought my L3901 as I had one on my old L2250 and loved it. Really comes in handy when backing up as you mentioned, especially when using my rear snow blower. Nice how you completed the research for people on options and pricing for folks looking to buy one.

    I added one of these to my 20-year old Kubota tractor years ago and loved it. I agree that it is always useful but especially when backing up. Added one to my newer 12-year old Kubota the day I purchased it and the same for my Kubota RTV. Since then I've replaced generic ones on three lawn tractors with the Kubota model because it is smoother and sturdier than any of the others that I have tried.

    I got mine the day that I got my tractor. That and a Kubota stocking cap were about $20,000. The good part was that my Kubota dealer through in a tractor with that purchase. Seriously, I use mine all the time. I got 2 from my John Deere dealer and both went bad. I have had my Kubota for 3 years and the spinner still works and looks like new and has never came loose. Thanks for the video Martin.

    • @DIYMyWay

    Yep, you're right Martin. The spinner was a great addition to my GC 1710. I had gotten a spinner at Tractor supply and it fit quite well. I originally purchased a spinner from Amazon and the diameter was way too small, so that's when I went to Tractor Supply to get one. Have a fine Sunday. 👍🏽🙂

    Martin: Glad to see you putting out videos again like working on the brook. What make this type of spinner "deluxe" and and others like you showed not deluxe? My new Kubota arrived this week so I'm looking for a new spinner. Selling the older L3800 with spinner, great tractor. Thanks Wayne.

    • @DIYMyWay
      @DIYMyWay  2 роки тому

      Hi Wayne! There is probably no difference other than the price. The word deluxe justifies a higher price and certainly you pay a premium for the Kubota logo. Thanks for watching!

    Love your videos, the wheel spinner is a great add on. I also added a right side fender handle to my l3901, very helpful to grab when using the spinner in my left hand and turn around looking backwards.

    I may have to try one, Martin. I just never thought it would be useful to me but I won't know until I try it. Does your wheel stay in position? With the hydraulic steering on my B2601, the wheel drifts and loses its center position - so there is not 12 o'clock position for me. Thanks for sharing! -Ed
