Long time project in the making, kept me off these forums for a while! I put the tractor to work on this one! The wife wasn't around during most of the dirt work, so there aren't any pictures there. Me and the little man put some seat time in for sure though!

Hey guys, it's been a while! We just finished up building our shop house, and now I'm out to get the yard in order. I borrowed a landscape rake to rake up all the small stuff left over from digging stumps and the dozer pushing everything up, and it works great! But, it also grabs a lot of dirt...

Hi all, I borrowed an old Ford 555B backhoe, and not long after firing it up, I blew a hydraulic line. It's in a remote location, and I didn't have any tools out there to get the hose off. It's the hose that goes from under the seat to the cylinder that curls the bucket. Does anyone know what...

Hi, On my G3038, my fuel gage is pointing in odd directions. It started only doing it every so often and the rest of the time it's be between the F and E on the lines. Now, it pretty much points straight down and rotates clockwise up towards the F as the level goes down. I've cleaned the...

Hi, I'm finally getting serious about getting a diverter valve and everything else needed for it ordered. I found the summit kit below, but now I'm at a loss as to what I need to get it connected to my tractor, an LS G3038. Pictured below are my hydraulic circuit, hydraulic parts list, and...

When I back drag using my bucket angled to where the edge is perpendicular to the ground, the bucket pivots forward. If I pick it up off the ground, the bucket swings back in place. It's done this as long as I've had it, and I thought that was just how it was supposed to work, but my dad said...

Hi, My wife and I bought 8 acres to build a house on. We had about 2 acres cleared for the yard and an acre or so for a food plot. I want to clear the stumps in the yard area, at the minimum in the area the house is going. I can get the others in the yard later if needed. I'm in a relatively...

Hi, My wife and I bought 8 acres to build on, and the loggers are finishing up this week. I had about 2 acres cleared clean for a yard, and an acre for a food plot. I plan to plant perennial seed in the food plot, but what type of grass should I plant in the yard area? I've always heard St...

Hi, Would a 38 HP LS G3038 handle an 8 ft box blade? Found one at an auction for dirt cheap.

So, the tractor I bought in January is my first experience with a diesel engine. It's an LS G3038. When I bought it, it had 140 ish hours on it. The guy I bought it from said he changed the oil at the 50 hour mark per the manual, and had the receipt for the oil and filter. Now, when I bought...

Hi, So I live on 4 acres on the edge of town, and I recently had some hogs rooting around in my yard. It took a couple weeks for me to see them in the daylight so I could eradicate the culprits (2 of 4 and haven't seen them since), so my yard got pretty torn up along a creek bank where they...

Does anyone recognize the brand or what duty the box blade at the link below is? I don't see any markings on it, and it's almost a 3 hour drive down there to look at it. Ad poster has posted it and a red one just like it several days in a row. All I get from them is it's a 6ft box blade, cat 1...

So with my first tractor the last few months, I'm slowly learning about hydraulics as well. I've never owned anything with hydraulics before, so it's definitely a learning curve on terminology if nothing else. That being said, I'm looking at a 3rd function kit and grapple, and I about had a...

Hi all, Just a curiosity question. In these forums, I see a whole lot of people talking about Kubota and John Deere, a few less, but still a good many, asking about Mahindra and Massey, and then the brand specific forums of LS, Kioti, and Branson/TYM, stay pretty busy. But, I've noticed the...

Today, I noticed a small spot under my tractor. I parked it a little differently than usual, I had the right side slightly downhill, and there seemed to be fluid coming out of the joint where a hard hydraulic line meets what I believe is the transmission. I know almost nothing about hydraulics...

Hi, I have a Howse 60" bush hog, and I'm wondering if it's quick hitch compatible? How would I tell? I'm looking at Pat's Quick Hitch, and it looks like with my open pins I'd just use the bent washers and pins hook up directly to my current 3 PH pins. Any clues as to what I need to look at to...

Hi, I have a 2014 G3038 with an LL3104. I can float the bucket, but the lever doesn't stay in the float position. The manual says it has a detent position there where it should stay. The bucket doesn't float when the lever bounces back. Any ideas? Is something in the lever assembly broken?

I recently purchased a 2014 LS G3038 with FEL. I bought it to maintain my 4 acres, 2/3 of which is open grass, but on a hill and pretty bumpy, and the rest is a combination of pine trees and a few hardwoods. The biggest battle I fight is keeping the leaves and limbs picked up to an extent...

I'm going to pick up a used (obviously) 2015 G3038 Friday afternoon. I'm already sold on it after driving it, but I was just curious, does that model have position control or draft control on the 3 point hitch? I drove this tractor around for 10-15 minutes this past weekend and loved it, so it...

Hi, I found an LS G3038 on a local classifieds site similar to Craigslist. It has a FEL and 5 ft bush hog with it. It is a 2014 with 133 hours, and in the pictures looks brand new. He's asking $12,500 for it. Is that a reasonable price? I've priced new G3035's at $18k or so, so it seems...
