Hey folks, I'm new at hydraulics. Just installed Summit Diverter valve to operate a new MTL grapple. \ I pre-filled the lines and the diverter valve when I was hooking things up to try and minimize any air in the lines. When I hook up the grapple, and operate the curl functions with...

Hey folks, I'm planning a project to add rear remotes on my L3240 for a TnT. I'd like to avoid the high cost of an OEM install ($1500 for the parts), but also avoid some of the complexity and time involved with a totally custom install. Since I'm inexperienced with hydraulics (but generally...

I'm looking at a used BH90 Kubota backhoe, for my L3240, and I'm trying to figure out if this subframe can be made to work on my tractor. They say it "fit's L30 series tractors", but the sellers just got the hoe with the farm they bought, so they don't know much about what tractor it came from...

I have an L3240, and I'm putting a Summit Diverter on the loader arm to control a grapple. I'd like to add hydraulic top-link functionality for box blade use (Side-link is much less important to me, as I don't mind getting down to adjust tilt as needed, but it seems that adjusting top link on...

I need some advice for improving a 3/4 mile logging road into our property. The ground is sand with a bit of clay (not a rock in sight), and there's a road that's been bulldozed, and had some gravel laid in long ago, but just enough gravel to be passable for logging trucks when it's dry or...

Hey folks, Bought a Kubota L3240DT yesterday (2009, 600hrs), and I'm looking to put a backhoe on it. I can get a used Woods 90X for a good price, and I'm trying to get the subframe for a reasonable price (Dealer says about $1900). Can someone tell me which part number I need for the...

I'm in the market for a tractor (with loader, and backhoe) to manage some wooded land that we'll eventually build a house on. Tractor tasks are: - Improving the existing 3/4 mile road, which is more of a woods road. Needs ditching improvement, including digging out where culverts are...

Any thoughts on what's a fair price for a 1999 JD 4400 HST with back hoe (48), loader (430), and mid-mount mower? 870 hours. I don't know these John Deere's well (much more Kubota experience), but I'm looking for something with a hoe and loader for general land and road maintenance, and it...

I know there are a lot of these threads! Thanks in advance for the advice. Buying 80 acres of woods, about half of it logged with some slash on the ground. Short term needs (next 4-5 years) Clean up limbs/slash around building site (2-3 acres) and along narrow logging roads (now trails)...
