I am considering the purchase of a backhoe for my L5240. I currently have no rear remotes. Just curious about these two options and which might be best considering my tractor and current set-up. Thanks

I need the ability to tilt the rear blade for grading work, etc. I currently have no rear remotes. What would be necessary to add a top-n-tilt system? Is the Kubota kit all inclusive? What are the advantages/disadvantages of the Kubota system versus aftermarket, etc. Also, if I later want...

A little while ago the Error 92 Motor NG code showed up on my display and the tractor will no longer shift into Hi range in any gear. We were in the middle of a project so we used it as is until we got to a good stopping point. Based on feedback in a previous thread, the error code indicates...

I noticed this evening that my FEL bucket keeps gradually tipping forward as I am driving the tractor.The FEL itself doesn't seem to be falling. I can't see any obvious sign of leaking around the cylinders. I can't see any obvious signs of a hydraulic hose leak. What is the most likely...

How long is the warranty on new Kubotas? Power train? Electronics?

This morning I was moving short logs with the grapple. The tractor was in Medium/High range running at around 2200 RPM. Suddenly the speed decreased by about 2 MPH for no apparent reason. Initially I turned up the throttle, but that didn't make much difference. I stopped the tractor and then...

I am interested in what a Grand L 5240 with around 200 hours should be worth, ballpark of course. HST, 4x4, NO CAB, dirty but well taken care of, still has about 3 months of warranty. Kubota LA854 Loader, R4s.

I am considering selling/trading my 7' Woods PRD 8400 finish mower and replacing it with a zero turn mower. I purchased it new last fall, and it has approximately 60 hours of mowing time on it. It needs to be cleaned up a bit, but is still in excellent condition. I am just curious how much...

After reviewing several other threads, I completed the 50 hour service on our L5240 this afternoon. My dealer's service manager recommended only changing the filters and not replacing all of the hydraulic fluid at this point. I also changed the engine oil and filter. Several threads had...

I have been missing SnowRidge's posts. I was wondering if anyone had heard from him. I enjoy his post and hope all is well.

There are several threads on this site where proper distribution of weight on a trailer is discussed. In general, it seems that in order to avoid "porpoising" and other trailer control problems the weight should be as close to the front of the trailer as possible without exceeding the...

Here is a link that might be helpful to those with questions regarding the use of tie downs. It includes information regarding working load limits and so on. I found it helpful in determining which straps would be appropriate so I thought I would share it. Kinedyne, providers of high quality...

We have a '00 Ram 3500 with dual rear wheels (diesel). It is a quad cab long bed. I have considered replacing the factory bed with a dump bed of some kind--similar to what you see on a cab/chassis setup. Has anyone else done this to a stock truck? I was just wondering how complicated and...

Last weekend I spent three days bushhogging in the woods on our farm in Missouri. Although I had a blast using the new Grand L5240 HST and getting ready for deer season, I managed to tear one of the dust covers on the tie rod. I have attached pictures for reference. The replacement cover is...

The sticker inside the door of my 2000 Dodge 3500 Diesel 4x4 Dually provides recommended tire pressures for 235/85/16 size tires. The tires that had just been put on it when I bought it are 215/85/16. I am going to be towing my tractor this week on a 20' + 5' gooseneck so I want to get the...
