I have a 4740 Kubota with the front loader equipped with the skid steer quick connect for the bucket. I'm looking at a front hay spear from a Mahindra dealer which is also "skid steer" quick connect. He is not sure whether or not his spear will work; but I would guess that a skid-steer connect...

After my less than satisfactory experience with the new 4240, and decision to trade up to the 4740, I wasa somewhat skeptical that it would do what the salesman claimed. But, I was committed to a new one; and a "deal's a deal" in my neck of the woods. Last week I hooked the Brush Hog to the...

I have about "Googled" myself to death. I am trying to find out the combined weight of my Kubota 4740, FEL and Shredder. The Kubota site is pretty clear as to the weight of the 4740HST, but I'm drawing a blank on the other items. I really need to know the combined weight prior to ordering a...

Has anyone equipped your tractor with a 3-point "quick-connect"? I am fixing to buy one, as the connect and disconnect for the shredder, blox blade and post hole digger is a real pain in the keester. Northern tool has one for $179 BAC Industries 3-Pt. Quick Hitch for Category 1 Tractors |...

Well, we began to build my new horse barn/tractor shed on Saturday and I noticed something regarding the augur. It seems that it does not go down as far as the old 2800 did. The old tractor would literally "bury" the augur, while the most depth that I can get out of the 4740 is 22". Any...

I took possession of my brand spanking new Kubota 4740 today, and wouldn't you know it, it's starting to rain.:( The 4740 is equipped with the heavy duty loader, 6' Brush Hog Squealer shredder, and the 6' box blade. I can't wait to get to work on it; and as soon as I figure out how to...

I am trading in my L2800 which is two years old, and less than 120 hours on the tractor. It has a front loader, 5' box blade and a 5' Rhino shredder. The tractor is well maintained, and the dealer has offered me $13,000 trade-in for a new L4240. I will be financing around $13000 for the 4240...

From time to time after running my tractor for several hours it refuses to start after stopping the engine. It clicks, but it almost sounds like a safety switch is not operating correctly. After the tractor cools off, it will start as if there was never a problem. Wouldn't you know it, the 2...

This may seem like a strange problem, but I am at a loss. I have a 2005 L2800 Kubota with the hydro transmission, 5' loader and a 5' Rhino shredder. I have mowed my 5 acre tract and my neighbor's 5 acres since I bought it new in September of 05. It never failed me once; and worked like a...
