    Problems replacing Hydraulic Outlet Pipe (with pics and part numbers)

    In the image below, taken of the underside of the floorboard on my Kubota L4400, there is a stainless steel hydraulic line that is shaped like a P trap that you would find under the sink in your bathroom or kitchen: That P pipe has a bad habit of getting hung on tree limbs and stumps. One...

    Torque Settings for Hydraulic Pipe

    Recently a stick or stump bent the J-pipe on my Kubota L4400 (#170 in the image below) I have a new one ordered. The bolt (#180 in the image) was so tight that I had to push with my foot on my 18-inch wrench. Does anyone know what it should be torqued to when I reassemble this?

    Random Hard Starts

    I posted this on another forum, but it got only one reply. I have a Kubota L4400DT. The engine turns over fine and the battery is nice and strong. Sometimes the engine starts immediately, but other times I can crank and crank and it will not start at all. A couple of possible clues: When...

    Kubota Radiator Cap

    Where is a good place to get a radiator cap? Coleman Equipment shows the Kubota Radiator Cap for my BX2200 is 56930-25870 and $35.63, plus shipping. BX2200 Radiator Cap 56930-25870: $35.63 NAPA, Messicks.com, and tractorpartsasap.com do not even show this part. Apparently, my local Kubota...

    No Fuel then No Crank

    I spent the day out on my Kubota L4400DT mowing pasture, about 10 hours all together. I get back in, add 5 more gallons of diesel to the tank as it was down to about 1/2, greased all of the joints, and my dad thinks there is water in the fuel filter. So, I turned the petcock off at the filter...

    Who's running foam filled tires?

    Davy, what is the "long term" results of this? It has been 7 years now. I'd love to have someone on here comment. My front tire has been punctured and repaired 3 times so far this Spring due to freakin' bamboo poking holes in there. Like Davy, each time means no use of the tractor until it is...

    Fish Tailing

    Well, it's a start.... The mower goes down and gets secured before traveling, of course.

    Fish Tailing

    One of these: Reese Universal Coupler Lock, Model# UTL100 Notice in the reviews, other people comment how easy they are to break into. I wished I had seen those reviews before purchasing the one I got.

    Maintenance: Kubota L Series Radiator gets stopped up frequently

    As stated in the title, the radiator (specifically the screen in front of the radiator) gets clogged rather quickly, it seems. OK, I'm out mowing about 9 hours straight per day for the last 3 days. Lots of dusty fields. After 5 hours of saddle time, I see the temperature start to climb...

    Fish Tailing

    OK, what causes fish tailing? It must have something to do with how the load is setup on the trailer. I pulled the tractor to a field that needed mowing, and noticed the trailer started fish tailing if I got over a certain speed. So, I maintained that speed. No big deal. I finished mowing...

    TODAYS SEAT TIME

    I had to look up FEL > FEL - What does FEL stand for? The Free Dictionary We are under a burn ban at the moment. Once it is lifted, I'm going to have a fire that is visible from space when I light mine. Definitely understood Beer time, though! (pic from last February)

    Selling the farm, buyer wants the tractor and all the attachments too, how to value?

    :) Here is the procedure my LandPride owner's manual shows: The information in the part called Slip-Clutch Protected Drivelines should be universal to all mowers with slip clutches. I was talking to the service guy when I was at my Kubota dealership once. He said they don't bother with the...
