I got some Duo Grip chains from my dealer and installed the rears today on my 4330. The fit doesn't seem to be all that great so far. I snugged them up as much as possible and adjusted them a couple of time after driving a bit. I still have to get them fully seated and then tackle the fronts...

I've read a lot of excellent posts here about grapples. I plan to buy one over the winter but was wondering about something that wasn't clear in what I've read. I'm not new to tractoring but I only have a loader and some ground engaging implements that don't use hydraulics. How exactly does...

Unfortunately, Markham is still not making a toothbar that works with a bolt on cutting edge. ATI makes one that is similar in style to Markham's. It has arms on the side that bolt on through the side of the bucket and it has removable teeth. However, it's $585 not including freight! Ouch...

I finally decided to order my Markham toothbar thanks to all the praise from this site. I called them and unfortunately their bars don't work with a bolt on edge. Any suggestions? I'm guessing there has to be some manufacturers out there that build them for HD buckets. Thanks, Mark

We had a real warm day a few weeks ago and I hooked up a hose to keep me company at the burn pile. I didn't need the hose all day and forgot to shut the hydrant off in the barn I'm building when I was done. Sure enough, I noticed it was frozen solid a few days later when I was in the barn...

Hello, I'm getting ready to do my 100 hr service (a little late). I had the dealer do the 50 hour service so I didn't get to experience it myself. Is there anything I need to look out for? Thanks, Mark

I did it. After reading here nightly for months, visiting various dealers, test driving everything and comparing stats, I purchased the Kubota L4330 HST with the LA853 Loader. I also got the heavy duty QA bucket, loaded R4's and a Woods RB750 HD Rear Blade. I owe a debt of gratitude to all...

Hi Guys, I'm in the process of buying a Kubota L4330 and was checking out the RTVs while at the dealership. I read up on them here and I think buying one would be a great addition to the farm tools as well as a nice toy for the wife. The dealer has a demo unit with under 60 hours on it. It's...

I'm about to buy a Kubota 4330 and was discussing the logistics of maintenance with some of the local dealers. I mentioned that I have a heavy duty 12,000 GVW dump trailer that is 12' long by 7' widemade by Big Tex. My tractor is 10' long but with the loader it's too long for the trailer...

Does anyone know the torque stats for the TC40, 45, 48 and 55? I can't find these stats online and I want the exact numbers for comparison. The dealer is closed but I'll call tomorrow if I can't dig them up. I want the max torque at rated engine speed for an accurate number. Thanks, Mark

Does anyone know the torque stats for the JD 4120, 4320 and 4520? I can't find these stats online and I want the exact numbers for comparison. The dealer is closed but I'll call tomorrow if I can't dig them up. I want the max torque at rated engine speed for an accurate number. Thanks, Mark

Does anyone know the torque stats for the Grand L4330 and L5030? I can't find these stats online and I want the exact numbers for comparison. The dealer is closed but I'll call tomorrow if I can't dig them up. There is a torque curve graph in the brochures but I want the max torque at rated...

Firstly, I'm glad I found this forum and thanks to all that post here. I've gained a lot of knowledge while browsing here the last few weeks and I will continue to do so. My wife and I bought a horse farm earlier this year, 18 acres, 12 stall barn, indoor and outdoor riding arenas and 14...
