In Reply to: Help: Buying a used Kubota with FEL w/o power steering posted by andrew nemethy on Friday, April 25, 2008:
Hi Andrew,
I'm pretty sure with that 2150 & F.E.L. you'll get real tired of steering that thing quickly.
Those tractors without power steering are a pain to use especially with the F.E.L.
I have a B7300 like Stafford and at about 50 hrs I built a power steering unit for it and took care
of that problem. No matter what u have in the bucket u can steer with one finger.
There was so much interest in that I developed it into an off the shelf bolt on kit many yrs ago.
A lot of my customers were owners that had the steering gear totally torn up by the amount
of force needed to operate it, also like Stafford
stated. They usually had 750 to 1000 hr on them
when the steering gear went to hell.
I have not heard whether or not a bolt on p.s. kit is available for the 2150 but it is needed.
It is very possible to fabricate your own system.
Good luck, tom
