I am running an L3240 with the factory L2221 3rd function valve kit to run my grapple with. When running it the other day, somehow, a branch snagged the wire running into the switch on the lever and pulled it out completely. When I tried to put it back together the switch no longer works...

I'm getting ready to install an OEM 3rd function kit on a L3240HST. The manual states the removal of the front loader frame and subframe is required. As I began to get into it today, I quickly realized that my Craftsman 100 piece kit doesn't fit the bolts holding the FEL frame. Looks like it...

I'm close to attempting a factory 3rd function kit install on a Kubota. This may be a stupid question, but is it necessary to drain the hydraulic fluid when installing?

I am getting a grapple from EA and ordered the WR long kit, but I have to say that being someone totally new to hydraulics etc (though mechanically inclined) the instructions aren't quite what Kubota provides for OEM (I dug up a pdf). I'm curious if anyone knows if the L2221 might still be...

I should be taking delivery of a used L3240HST next week, and I believe a grapple would be a great help for the tasks I have planned that include lots of brush and tree work. The tractor has a rear remote with a lever just to the right of the seat. As I understand it, I should be able to use...

2009 120 hours, LA514 loader QA bucket, 5' brush hog, 5' box blade, rear remote. Looks like its spent some time outside in Florida with some light fading. Just realized there is a typo in my subject - It's a 3240 NOT a 3540. Price is $17500. Let me know if you have any feedback, thanks!

Can anyone provide feedback on how difficult it might be to swap out an LA514 for an LA724 loader? I have a line on a couple decent used tractors, but but they are equipped with the LA514 and I wanted the stronger loader. I assume dealers won't take them in a trade, but even if they did is the...

My research has finally narrowed down my choices somewhat, but I'm still hoping for feedback on a tractor. If you want the back story, go here http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/buying-pricing-comparisons/334055-cut-sizing-advice.html, but in summary, I have 2.5 acres in MA which needs lots of...

I'm finally really in the market for a CUT and I'd like some advice based on my intended uses. Originally, I was thinking a B series (or comparable) size tractor, in the mid 20s for hp, however, I'm re-thinking it the more I read. Here is the background of my property and what I hope to...

I bought a fixer upper in Essex MA on 2.5 acres of mostly flat land. It is a great piece of land that hasn't been maintained for many years. On top of that we have plans to make improvements which include the addition of a pool and a barn. I'm a big DIY person, and being in MA, hiring...
