The safety switch under the seat of my L3400 Kubota does not shut off the engine when tractor is in running and I raise the seat. Could there be anything wrong other than the switch itself? I hate to go and buy a new and probably expensive switch and find out that was not the problem. I...

I have a hard time with leveling and grading a gravel road. I have 1/2 inch and less gravel with lots of limestone sand and dust in it. It seems that I get a hump in it here and there and after that, I can forget getting it level. When I try to level one hump, my front wheels go up on another...

I have read that diesel engines need heavy duty antifreeze. I prefer propylene glycol to ethylene glycol. Anyone know a good brand of heavy duty propylene glycol?

What are we supposed to do with used antifreeze? I live in the country and have a septic system. I can't pour it into a septic system according to all I have read. I can't pour it on the ground or bury it according to enviormentalists. I doubt that any service business would take it because...

I have a L3400 and the pedal pads seem to be made of soft foam rubber and they are continually sliding off on the edges - mostly the clutch pad. They are also prematurely worn. Does anyone know if there are better pads available which will fit these tractors? If they had hard rubber pads, it...

How long does it usually take when a new tractor model is introduced before someone comes out with a service manual? I have a 2004 L3400 and apparently there is no after market manual yet in print.

Read an old thread about installing a heavy duty top link plate and "I E top and tilt" It was for an L3400. What is this and how does it work?

Does anyone know if there is a free tractor blue book site like Kelley has for autos??

If you buy a tractor with a FEL and you have never used one, the manual helps a little but it doesn't really tell you all you need to know, or maybe it does but you really don't learn much until you use the loader. I learned by using it that you can turn a tractor over very easily with it, much...

I have a Kubota L3400 with gear shift . I talked with a serviceman in a local Kubota service department about the 50 hour service requirement. He said that changing the UDT in a gear shift is unnecessary at 50 hours. He says that they don't do it. Said they just change the filter. I read...

I saw several used Farmtrac tractors on a dealer lot recently. I looked at several of them and they were made in at least three different countries. I believe eastern european countries. Are they grey market or what?

How much does Kubota get for a 5 gal bucket of UDT? I know how much Rotella and Super Tech from Wal Mart cost but I have never seen a price for UDT .

I have seen brush cutters advertised as having a "stump jumper". What is a stump jumper and why would anyone need one?

I have a new 1042 Cub Cadet with HST. It sounds o.k. in forward speeds but it has a growling like sound in reverse. Is this normal or do I need to take it back to the dealer?

I have a Kubota L3400. From the first time I used it, I have had a problem with the rubber clutch and brake pads coming off. They appear to be made of soft rubber, almost like foam rubber. Since the pedals are smooth, they have to have some kind of pad. Does anyone know if there is a hard...
