+2 on SureTrac. I now have 4 of them. Latest is a new 14k tilt I picked up this Fall. I would not hesitate to spend a day driving for the right trailer or vehicle that will last years. Good luck.
.
I have a Ravelco on my TRX, it is not going to be defeated and the truck will not start w/o the cap.
There is no single device that will prevent all theft (ie: flatbed) however multiple steps help.
Good luck...

i know how to read Kubota loader/capacity values, that's not my question.
Again, the specs suggest almost no increase in capacity between the LA535 and LA545, however some of the actual testing suggests otherwise..
.
I understand the pin and pin +1.5 numbers, but no, the specs suggest there is almost zero difference in the old and new loader, 33 lbs at the pins and 1 lb at pin +1.5M
.
I have an extremely low hour LX3310 and could use an extra few hundred pounds of loader lift capacity and was considering a new LX4020. I thought I read and saw online that the new FEL on the LX4020 (even though the designation LA535 vs LA545 does not suggest it) was much more capable and...
I'm considering swapping my '21 LX3310 TLB with only ~65 hours for a 4020, I can use the extra FEL capacity. Am I the only one unable to get to the KubotaUSA LX pricing page online?
Edit, Ahh, I used the link above and that works. The kubotaUSA "build' link is wrong now...
The rear tires on my Kubota LX are dealer filled with alcohol mix. I’m going to install the BH and just leave it on moving forward and I understand it's not advisable to run filled tires with the BH. I'd like to drain most of the fluid from the tires but with the valve stems in the 6 o'clock...
My LX3310 is at the dealer for its 50 hour service. The dealer stated it would be finished tomorrow after the required “Campaign” (SW update) was completed. Exactly what does that do?
Thanks
.
I can’t find it in my manual, what’s the stock pressure spec on a LX3310? And the valve is between the 2 hoses under the tractor adjacent to the right rear tire, correct?
Thank you
.
Congrats on your new LX. One of the first mods I did to my new LX3310 TLB was to add wheel spacers on all corners. It absolutely helps with stability especially when using the grapple.
.
OP here, I found a build sheet I worked from Kubotausa dated August, 2020 before I purchased my LX3310 off a dealer lot.
The list price of the BH77 was $7051, the 16" bucket was $658, and the thumb was $482, and the subframe was $953 for a total list price of $9144.
Not sure exactly what...
Perfect, exactly what I was looking for. thank you. Yes, I'm aware that the SFs differ between the LX and L. I guess I'll just remove my SF and sell the BH77 complete..I even have a BXpanded quick attach for the Kubota bucket, an extra narrow trench bucket, ripper tooth, etc.. None of...
When I purchased my new LX3310 I opted for the BH77 backhoe. The bucket literally has never been in the dirt. I removed and covered the BH a few days after I took delivery of the tractor. As I look at my longer term plans, I may just purchase a Kubota Mini-Ex moving forward. I’m just...
worst case, you sacrifice one of the front side vents by prying it off. It has ~6 pins on the back side that are retained by small speed clips. It you pry it off carefully you may break a few of the pins but may still have enough to retain the panel in the future. Worst case is you buy a...
as shown in the video, after tilting the grill guard forward, I need to lift my LX Hood straight up from the center. Otherwise it tilts to one side and catches on something.
.
The hood latch on my LX3310 hood is actuated by the 'Mascot' emblem on the hood via a round bar that engages the solid-mounted pin I circled in red. The actual latch (which I dont see a good picture of in that drawing) is like 2 opposing J's that once pushed over the pin spring together and...
If you bring in a piece of equipment to help, make sure you run over that damn mole hill at the corner of your building a few hundred times. LOL
Good luck

A little more info
It is a four cylinder diesel , has Motorcraft B12-2 glow plugs. Injector pump has a tag with the name " Roosa Master"
My friend is trying to purchase a starter and needed to identify the engine.
thanks
Greetings, I have a friend who just picked up this old Veermer piece of equipment and has made progress getting it back together and running.. He's trying to identify the engine and Veermer is no help. Any ideas? There's a "508" above the Ford logo in the bottom pic of the engine. Is...
9*F and zero ice, I’ll call that good for me and my area LOL. Just for kicks I’ll test the other side tomorrow but suspect I’ll see the same results. Thanks all!
.
I only drained a little fluid from the left tire, it’s been in the freezer for 4+ hours, I just checked it with my laser thermometer and it shows 18.3* F with zero signs of ice. I’ll check it again in a couple hours, then check the right side tire tomorrow. At this point I’m leaning toward the...
Unfortunately that doesn't help.
My rear tires are 15x19.5 which I recall may hold ~30 gallons each.
Paperwork shows parts as 12 units @ $6 each and $100 labor with description of " filled tires with methanol and water"
I'd like to test the mix with a tester... I did put ~4 ozs in...
Howdy, last year I had my dealer fill the rear tires on my LX3310. While I don’t normally use my tractor during the winter, this past winter I used my tractor to help a neighbor, it was in the low 20s F (stored in unheated shed). When driving down the street my tractor seemed to be very...
Here are the (2) hoses that go to the 3rd function valve.
The first (2) are different views of one hose that goes to the valve, and the 3rd pic is the other hose that goes back to where my BH would attach, but when the BH is off, is just plugged in to complete the circuit...
Plumbed...
The Landpride grapple on my last Kubota worked perfectly. When I purchased my new LX3310 we couldn’t find a Landpride 3rd function valve so the dealer installed a WR Long valve, and it seems something is not right. The switch operates the grapple lid in both directions, but when the grapple is...
I’d like a top dresser to spread compost, screened top soil, sand, etc. to my 1 acre manicured lawn. I’m open to ground drive, PTO etc.. I have a JD 380x lawn tractor and Kubota LX3310 but leaning more toward something I can pull with the JD so I can load the hopper with my Kubota FEL. Any...
How else would a wheel spacer be employed?
Tractor/car/truck stock wheel studs are generally only long enough to accommodate the stock wheels.
You can't just add a ~2" spacer (without its own studs) , there would be no original stud left to bolt the wheel to.
LOL, you can't be serious, right? Have you even looked at the picture above of the spacers "that you would use"?
'All they do is take up space'? No, they are ~2" Chinese $35 a set spacers with studs pressed in.
"The lug bolts clamp the axle, spacer, and wheel together". No, the spacers...
LOL
Weren't those spacers priced at like $42 a set to include shipping? Just exactly how much 'quality' do you expect for $42 a set (including shipping)?
Running some POS cheap, untested, no warranty Chinese spacers is your choice. My life is worth more than $42 and I'll stick with U.S...
I’m looking for a good, small solar charger for my dump trailer. It has a single Group 24 battery. I suspect I only need a few watts, and would like overprotection from overcharging if possible. The trailer is stored away from an electrical outlet and is only used a very few times a year...
I have a (relatively) high dollar JD380x with the large belt-driven bagging attachment that is an absolute POS. 2 years, and I hate it every time I use it. It does a horrible job picking up leaves, small sticks, clipping, etc.. My last lawn tractor was a Craftsman (Husky) with bagger that...

Falcon Pallet Forks by glacierattachments.com ??
Anyone have experience with Falcon (2000lb) pallet forks by glacierattachments.com built in Michigan? Thank you...
Hi, I've been trying to purchase Landpride PFL1242 pallet forks from my local dealer for months, he now says they are backordered until June. Any know of any available? I'm in 20646 Maryland and can drive to VA/PA etc. if needed. Would also consider gently (LOL) used.
thanks all!
I ordered a new custom Sure Trac 18' 9900lb utility trailer with 2' mesh sides in August. After (2) months of delays it finally arrived at the dealer. I ordered it with (11) D rings, (5 on each side and 1 in the center front). I will use the trailer to move my new Kubota LX3310 TLB very...
I have a new, custom 9900lb Sure Trac trailer that was just delivered to the dealer that I need to pic up with temp tags the dealer will provide. I am considering registering it out of state in Maine. I have heard a little about the process (like registering for 5-10 years), anyone have...
When purchasing a new Kubota vs Deere tractor, are there any fundamental differences in the required insurance for the life of the loan? I have a Kubota with insurance that about $2400 for 5 years, someone suggested that Deere insurance has virtually the same coverage but is $500 for 6 years...
I'm looking for another gas powered pressure washer. At age 65, if I need a big job done like washing my house, etc. I generally pay a pro to do it, but 2-3 times a year I might want to do something myself. My last 2 in the $500 price range were both POSs. I'm willing to spend $800-1000 for a...
I may hold it :o I took delivery of my new LX3310 TLB last month in anticipation of a move to a new house and a larger property. Beyond my control, it appears that things are on hold indefinitely and a life change may be on the horizon. This tractor is WAY too large for my current property...
Hi, I recently had a LandPride grapple installed on my new tractor. Among other things, the lines from the couplers mounted on the FEL and going to the grapple were too long. Today I had them shortened 12" but now have another issue. Unfortunately I didn't even think about this, but when the...
My new LX3310 has the most annoying high pitch buzz/rattle from the hood latch at idle, i have tried for 3 days unsuccessfully to quiet it. I have pressed the mounting flange together a little to tighten it and take the slop out, I put a washer on the bar that attaches to the hood ornament that...
My new tractor has FF couplers on the grapple hoses at the grapple. The other ends at the 3rd function valve are Pioneer. For years on other tractors I have never had more than a drop or 2 of oil leak from a Pioneer coupler when removing. These flat face couplers sometimes lose what appears...
My dealer installed a LandPride grapple on my new LX3310 and used a WR Long 3rd function valve and handle/switch. The Kubota and LandPride kits were not quickly available. I did not get any paperwork on the handle and cannot find anything on their site. How does the handle come off? I...
New tractor and need about 10’ of black 3/4 ID spiral hose wrap. Amazon has it, but 2+ week delivery. I don’t see it at Tractor supply. I would purchase more if needed. Any ideas where to find it online with quick shipping? Thank you....
While the FEL tubes on the large B series and new LX models are certainly much smaller than the Standard L tractors, I'm wondering if anyone has found caps that will work. I'm hopeful that I can at least store some chains in them. Has anyone done that? thanks
I had a terrible time getting my BH77 back onto the tractor, like more than an hour of frustration and attempts. Yes, I know how it goes on. For those with this setup, is the U cradle at the bottom of your tractor subframe really tight with the BH and pins? And is the area around your upper...
LX3310 Exhaust Smell, Eyes and Sinus Burn
Anyone with a new LX3310 have an issue with exhaust smell? I’ve been around diesels my entire life (65 years old) and never had an issue with exhaust smell. The exhaust from my tractor burns my eyes and sinuses. It is not engine temperature...
First mods, bucket hooks and Bro-Tek wheel spacers. 2" rear, 1.5" front. Top pics is stock, pics 2/3 are with the spacers. Grapple on order and will have the tires filled then. I also have a new Heavy Hitch for running w/o the BH77.
The BH77 on my new LX3310 is driving me crazy, LOL. The little clips for the stabilizer controls rattle at idle. What’s the best way to quiet them? I could take the cover off and put a little blob of grease on each one. ?? Thanks...,.
How are you attaching chains/straps to the front of your tractor frame when transporting on a trailer? The bucket tends to block access to the front of the frame. thanks
My new LX3310 has the single seat BH77, however I can’t sit back in the seat and reach the controls (I’m 6’) Are there control handles that are perhaps 5 longer? I hoped that the knobs screwed on and I could bolt on extensions, but it feels like they are molded on. And yes, it has the correct...

I continue to strike out, I’m looking to immediately purchase a new LX3310 with backhoe. The 1 or 2 I’ve located are taking 2-6 months, and/or the discount is almost non-existent. Willing to drive 2-300 miles from Laplata, Md 20646 for right tractor. Thanks
I've had a Landpride grapple on my BX25D for 5 years with zero issues, about to pick up a new LX3310 and want a grapple. The EA grapple is 55" which seams the right size for the tractor while the Landpride is 60" and seems a bit large, but I doubt that matters.. I like the serrations on...
I'm ready to purchase another new tractor from a dealer in PA, I live 150 miles away in MD. We are relatively close on pricing, but I'm now told that if I pick the tractor up there (which I'm ready to do) , I have to pay PA sales tax (even through I'm a MD resident). They further state that...
New LX3310 Which Bucket? 54" or 60"?
For a new LX3310 and general use, I see Kubota offers a 54" bucket and a 60" "Light material" bucket. Which do I want?
54" seems narrow for that tractor, but perhaps its deep and appropriate.
My only point of reference in real use is my...
I have a set of very nice front/rear bolt on tie down attachment points from AI2 on my BX25d and may pick up a new LX3310. Does anyone make similar bolt-on tie down brackets for that tractor? Probably similar to a legacy large frame B series. Thanks....
When the LX3310 and L3901 open station tractors come with the BH77 , the LX3310 uses the operator's swivel seat and the L3901 has its separate seat, correct? thank you......
I may be upgrading from my very low hour 2014 BX25d and considering a LX3310. Comparing the LX to the larger L series, I believe the LX is the right size for my limited needs and the natural progression from my present tractor. I purchased my BX from Messicks and would likely purchase the LX...
I have a JD 380X that came with a black plastic deck level gauge. It's round bottom is about the size of a silver dollar and is perhaps 2.5" tall that you slide under the deck, and adjust the deck to that height all around. Last year while adjusting mine my daughter drove over it. LOL

I had a Craftsman (built by Husqvarna) 48"/Kohler riding mower for 15 years that was the best tractor I've owned in my 62 years. With the high-lift blades for the bagger, it sounded like a helicopter and picked up everything in its path and left a superior cut. When It expired I purchased a...
For those potentially selling on this site, beware. I advertised a Kubota BX25D and have been contacted by (2) different POSs in the last (2) weeks. First guy's email was similar, he wanted my PayPal info to send me the $, then he would have the tractor picked up by his 'shipper' a few weeks...
Thinking of moving up from my BX25D to the next size tractor the B2601. Main issue is space in the shed. Anyone know the LOA of the BX when parked from the tip of the loader bucket on the ground to the rear most surface of the tucked BH vs the same measurement on the 2601? Trying to determine...
Anyone make this move? Thoughts? My 2014 only has 75 hours, I have most of the BXpanded upgrades and wheel spacers, etc. that I would keep, my current tractor also has the dealer installed Land Pride grapple which makes the tractor in my opinion. Thinking of trading in on the new BX with new...
Went to power wash my 3 year old Kubota this weekend. I've got some excess grease on the tractor in some hard to reach places around some fittings. The cold water pressure washer tended to just move it around, is there something i can easily spray on that will dissolve the grease w/o harming...
Anyone recommend any quality aftermarket high lift blades for a new John Deere x380? While JD makes other high lift bladed, apparently they don't make them for the 48" Accel deck. thanks
Looking for a new tractor to mow my property. I only have about 3/4 acre in grass, the rest of my property is wooded, and the lawn is very, very nicely manicured. My previous tractor had a hydro lever on the right fender which I loved. Both feet on the floor at all times and control movement...
Greetings, I just purchased a new Craftsman 48" garden tractor with bag attachment I believe is manufactured by Husqvarna. My previous tractor lasted 16 years and did a great job, the new tractor deck seems to have relatively little vacuum compared to my old one. Craftsman offers 2 sets of...
I had my BX25 picked up by my local dealer for its 50 hour service. Service completed and the tractor was delivered to my home when I was at work. I was pleased that they had taken the time to clean it, leaks in the grapple repaired etc. I get on and fire it up, let it warm up for a moment...
I had a few trees taken down recently on my property one of which was a Malberry probably 20" in diameter. They left the stump too high and I took a foot off it last weekend. It was the gummiest, sapiest thing I have ever seen and left my chain covered in that crap. What's the best way to...
Looking for a powered tow-behind lead collection system for my lawn tractor. trying to stay around $1500 or so. The DR looks promising. Any suggestions? having a collapsable enclosure is important to me for off season storage. Thanks
Not sure where else to ask, I have a set of like new steel Ramps from a new 14k lb Sure Trac dump trailer I want to sell. This is my first time using the classified section but I don't see any logical place to list them. Suggestions on how to list? Thank you
Greeting, I need to move 10 yards of #57 bluestone which will be dumped on my asphalt drive with my Kubota BX25. I'm thinking I would be better off removing the Piranha bar from the bucket in order to scrape it more cleanly off the driveway and not dull the bar, suggestions? Thanks
Greetings, anyone tried the new trencher bucket and QA bucket adaptor? Wondering if the QA changes the bucket geometry or curl in/out. I've already got a ripper tooth and am ordering both attachments. I looked at the YouTube video of the QA and it would be nice to be able to change...

Anyone have a few pics inside and out of the factory Kubota toolbox that mounts next to the seat arm rest that you can share? Can it be mounted on either side? thanks
Greetings, thinking of picking up a plasma cutter for home workshop duties. Want one much more than actually need one. Realistically I may use it a few times a year and probably on 1/4" and lighter stock. My limiting factor will be power, looking for the best tool that will use a 6-20R 240v...
Greetings, getting ready to get a MS261 C-M, really torn between the 18" and 20" bar. My current (early 1970's) saw has a 21" bar and cuts like a beast but is heavy as **** on this old body. I was really thinking about the 20" bar on the new saw, not really for any potential cutting...

Hi, I'm considering a new MS261 purchase. I see that Stihl closely controls pricing and sales. Going to my local dealer, if I purchased a new MS261, hard case, chaps, helmet, gloves, and bar oil, what discount of DSRP might I expect? Thank you
I went to install wheel spacers on my new BX25D yesterday and ran into an issue. The rear spacers went on fine.

Good day today. I picked up a new Sure Trac 14' 14k lb dump trailer. It's very well made, great fit and finish. I opted for the scissor lift, wireless remote, spare tire and best tarp kit. The only thing I might do is have a set of ramps made just like the originals, but in aluminum...
