It was on a Grand L3540. I sold the backhoe back in 2021 and bought a mini excavator. I had too many projects around my property for a backhoe.

I've had it happen several times with my 30 ton splitter used in the vertical configuration with White Ash wood. I have a 4 way split wedge on mine, so some pieces can be smaller and lighter to make them easier to propel. It starts out with some resistance first, then a pop and the pieces blow...

Tried it with a MX5100 - I wasn't impressed and it was hard to see what you were digging. Definitely a Skid steer tool.

The WR Long kit on my L3540 works without issue so I don't think it has anything to do with the grapple. Could possibly be electrical with a hold down relay of some sort, but it only happens at the full open or close position. If I make other demands on the hydraulics while it is bypassing, it...

I did a quick search on this issue and nothing came up. The Kubota 3rd function on my M7060 seems to stick on my grapple when fully closed or fully opened. You can hear the hydraulic pressure tone difference with it still on until you tap the function switch on the loader handle. I've had...

After owning this setup for a few years now, I can say the concern is not a rollover, it's contact with the inside of the rear tires with the Bush hog in a turn. Even with my rear wheels spaced almost to maximum, I've managed to contact the edge of hitch. I never knew it until I saw the black...

I went with USAA which is underwritten by Travelers. I'm able to cover two tractors, an excavator and my commercial zero turn mower for less then the price of KTAC on one tractor. I believe KTAC is setting pricing to discourage insuring those who don't have a Kubota loan on a piece of...

My tractor is now repaired. I was about to change the HST hydraulic fluid and filters anyway so the timing worked out when they split the tractor and had to remove the fluid. Here's a copy of the invoice showing parts used. I already compared Hunt's seal kit number to my invoice, it's not on...

There was some interest in this setup. The outside width is about 84". HP

I had mine adjusted out. Set in at the factory just seemed too narrow if you are dealing with any hills. Here are some pictures of mine with cast centers positioned out. It feels pretty stable in this setting. HP

RoyKing, Mine looks the same as the picture you posted. The lid will open, but only about half way and strikes the base of the FEL support. A few pictures for comparison. It has a factory bracket that must have come with the loader at the time. Maybe Kubota updated the angle of the bracket...

I have noticed that many owners with cabs leave the plastic on their seats. Admittedly I did the same thing for about a year, but I was on the lookout for a suitable (read durable) cover which was fairly difficult to find. The difficulty was that most were designed to accommodate the highback...

I thought I'd post that I had my first regen over the weekend at 32.2 hrs. I've used my tractor almost exclusively for Bush hogging so rpms have been up over 2k. By my estimation I use it for about 95% cutting. Incidentally, I was using the E-540 function when the regen occurred so I was at...

What you are looking at is the 8 speed trans version. It doesn't have a park selection, but it does have a parking brake. M7060's with an 8 speed trans are indeed available in the US. HP

Finally, out of necessity, I finished up my subframe hookup. IMO, I believe this is the only way to safely hook up a backhoe to a tractor. I like it much better then the 3 pt. I found the subframe for my L3540 on the internet from dealer old stock, then bought the two extension brackets used...
