Just occurred to me there could be a temp difference, the guys in the other thread are right. Same thing happens on grapples, you drop them, they sit in the sun all day, then you can’t reconnect. I’ve had to loosen a fitting twice in 5 yrs to reconnect. It’s helped to connect the fittings when...

Why rest it that high off the ground? How long will it be off the machine? I’m a relative newb but on my Kubota L47 (similar to the B26 and M59 listed above) the hoe is considered “power beyond” and do not bleed off like the FEL. Once the lines are disconnected the system is closed. When I...

So after many years I decided the time was right to purchase a new 14’ SureTrac low pro dump trailer. It’ll be used for several projects from hauling bulk materials to hauling debris, brush, trash, roofing, rocks, and other hard fill items. I’d like to keep the bed floor as nice as possible...

Fairly new to tractors, I’ve learned a ton here since beginning the quest for a TLB, I’ve had my Kubota L-47 since July and absolutely love it but I can see how a smaller lighter weight tractor would be very handy. Not really “looking” for another but ran across this ad and wondering if it’d be...

Recently bought a tree puller attachment that came with skid steer style flatface connectors and trying to decide what the best thing is to connect it to my tractor. First thought was to just replace them with Pioneer AG style connectors, then a friend suggested an adaptor to connect one to the...

Here's what I wound up doing. The Yukon did a good job pulling. Air ride suspension kept everything level. 12 mile drive took about 30 minutes on the best back road that would get me there. Driving about 45mph on Saturday afternoon, with 2 stops to check chains & straps. I'm going to take...

When I purchased the trailer to haul my kubota L-47 I only sized it to haul the TLB and hadn't considered other implements. Now I'd like to haul it with the bush hog instead of the back hoe and that puts me over 20'. If I curl the bucket down and pull it all the way up to the stop it just...

Best two pics of barn I have on my phone......

Can't seem to find this info in owners manual or searching here, does hydraulic fluid need to be "up to temperature" like a car transmission when checking the dipstick? I have a new L47 and pinched a hose on grapple. Not sure how much fluid I lost replacing hoses, dipstick shows low when cold...

Had some pretty high winds blow through last night. Neighbor had a few big limbs down so I called him up to see if me and the boy could be of any help. (The neighbor is a 75yo farmer that raises cattle) we get there to find there's a really big branch down in back, right across his wife's...

I have a tandem axle lawn trailer from Country Manufacturing that I pull with either my mower or ATV. It has a hydraulic dump bed thats nice for heavy loads, though the actuator could be improved. A little more expensive than some I've seen but I like it quiet a bit. I don't know if they...

back story, I ordered a toothbar with my L-47 TLB but somehow the salesman didn't get it ordered and there were none in stock when I picked the machine up. He was kind enough to give me a 72" non brand specific toothbar (no charge) that was in stock. It fits the bucket, however, it's designed...

I looked at a 48 with same numbers, it was a 2007 I think with right at 700 hrs for $26k. Seemed decent but needed tires soon. Drove over to the new dealer and compared to a used L45 they had taken on trade, same hours but super clean for a little more money, 2011 model. Chewed on those over...

Hello all, been reading through the forum for a couple of years, mostly trying to find information on buying a tractor. I made the plunge and have an L-47 TLB on order, now I have tons of questions that I can't seem to find answers for... I've never owned a tractor and have only operated a few...
