I have a L4240 HSTC with about 2000 hours. For a little while now, when you let off the pedal, it will slowly creep in reverse. I have tried adjusting the pedal to the point where it wouldn't start (thinking it's in a movement position) to no avail. I "think" something is bypassing internally as...

I have some down time and a grade master for comparison so I'm going to build a grader, land plane, blade whatever you want to call it. Where are most getting their blades (cutting edges)? I need two 7' long and would like to have them reversible. I've been reading threads on those that...

Getting started on a boat ramp/slip. I'm searching the web and can't find exactly what I'm looking for as far as guidelines and suggestions go. What I really would like to know is the most common Angle of the ramp and depth below waterline to accomidate most boats/trailers. I don't seem me...

Maybe I'm searching for the wrong thing but I can't find anyone that built their own 3 pt goose neck hitch. I have all the material I need but I'd like to see what others have done. I've seen pictures of the TSC one but am curious as to what else is out there. I'd like it to be beefy enough to...

Dropped it off yesterday. I've got a grinding/rubbing sound resonating from the 2wd/4wd selector. There was always a sound in the cab but it's growing in decibel levels. Now to wait and see what they find. I wanted to post this incase anyone else runs across this issue. She has 225hrs on her now.

Just picked up a Mr. Heater weed burner/torch, got home and hooked it up to 5lb bottle that was just filled. It's more of a match flame than a torch. I've played with both valves through both ranges and nothing. When I first strike it I get a little bit of torch action but only for a few seconds...

I'm looking for a toothbar for my L4240, 854 loader and HD roundback 72" bucket. I have holes in my bucket, I'm assuming to bolt on a cutting edge, do the tooth bars mount there, do they weld on, or does the bucket need to be drilled and bolted elsewhere? I see alot about Markham toothbars but...

I'm looking for a good excuse to eventually work my way to a top and tilt. I'm currently moving lots of dirt and broken concrete to the lakes edge to stop erosion and fill some holes. I'm thinking of building a cart/loader that I can hook up to via the 3pt and quick hitch. Plan would be to load...

Can anyone running a similar system post pictures and pointers? I've got a brand new metal 55 gallon drum and would like to perch it about 5' or so, on it's side with a hose and valve. Something low budget but something that will let me go a while longer before running back to the station and...

Lights in the front are fine, but reversing in the dark proves a bit harder!! Anyone fab up a light in the back?

Maybe I !need to eat more. But now having a bit more seat time on the L I have found a few quirks. Today I got in a bind and needed to lock the dif, when I step on the lock my butt lifts off the seat and when I press the HST pedal the tractor kills. Trying to balance everything proves near...

I have an old 6' bush hog that's had the deck completely rotted out. The gearbox is good, but I don't know what I could use it for. Any suggestions?

Put about 10 hours on the new tractor this weekend and I have a question. I notice there are several wires hanging out. sitting in the seat there is a plug to the left bottom part of the window, wires are yellow and black. There are also 4 wires over my left shoulder at the top of the window, 2...

A little background. Just picked up a Cab Kubota L4240 with 854 loader and 72" heavy duty round back bucket with SS QA. Had them install a front remote and 2 auxillarys out back. I have several hundred ton's of broken concrete to move. Many a trees to move later and 5.5 acres to keep up along...

I've got quiet a bit of rock/gravel mixed in some dirt in a good portion of the yard. Is there something that would till and sift or rake this gravel out. Atleast the top few inches?

What made you go with the JD vs the competition? I've spent the greater part of 3 weeks at the JD dealership, looking, reading and driving and had the pleasure of using a 3520 HST, 300X, Open station for a weekend and put over 11 hours on her. I really liked the tractor. I have since visited the...

Well I'm working my way down the colors. I decided the JD of choice was the the 3520 w/cab 300cx loader with HST. Now I've moved on to comparing the Kubota. I just got home from the dealership, after hours, and really like the L3540. Can anyone give me their opinons on this tractor? Anyone...

Going down the list to dial in the 3520 I want. I'll have about 5.5 acres to mow after all the clearing and cleaning up. Half open, Half treed, but tall trees. I also have 2 riding offbrand mowers if needed. Anyone with experience with both give me the pros, con's and suggestions on what model...

Tractor has 277 hours and the steering just went south. The wheels will still turn but it's hard to turn the steering wheel. Fluid level looks good, no leak. Thoughts?

I've come down to the JD 3520. The wife perfers the hydro pedals over the treadles, and what she says goes!! 4x4 with the 300X loader. Are there any other options I should really consider? We just bought our first home and 5.5 acres along the lake. We have a few years of cleaning trees...
