put in a new PTO switch over the weekend, it did fix the PTO not spinning part. but now it wont go up and down, PTO arms dont move, the front end loader works fine. everything else seems fine. its fixed.. one of my buddies who was helping me troubleshoot it, turned the hydraulic flow knob off.

so after working on it some, got the PTO switch out, looked fine. disconnected it , still wouldn't start... tired disconnecting the battery thought it might have been a glitch in the electronics. of all things... ended up being a 5amp fuse for a T/M controller... Ive never seen a fuse blow on...

I went back and worked on it some more after talking to the local dealer. still shows the PTO engaged when you turn the key and wont start.

as the title suggests, I was out chipping yesterday, had a branch get caught, shut off the tractor with out disengaging the PTO, I know I am not supposed to do that.. so now that its off, the tractor wont start, says I need to put the PTO in neutral, which I have. I pulled the chipper off the...

it was transmission fluid that was coming out.

well any of the fixes for this are well above my paygrade, so its in the shop now. I will update when I find out something, I am sure it wont be cheap

well after a few weeks of cool weather, it finally got warm. Tractor was running good while it was nice. On the first hot day it started stalling pretty bad, when I got back to my shop there was hydraulic fluid coming out of the silver thing (or above it and dripping down) in the pic...

I have personally removed the radiator cap and verified its nice and green and full. its not when the engine gets hot, I mowed for 3 hours this morning when it was cool. once its warm I can go out and it will stall right away. But yeah I can check it with an infrared. When I say hot I mean...

no it has never over heated. it stays at 4 bars once it warms up. I had considered the gauges but I dont really know how to test a gauge so thinking about it is as far as I got. no lights come on, no errors, no smoke, no beeps.

went out last night and tested the seat switch, and it still stalls with the seat up, idling with the PTO running and not running. got up early this morning and mowed 3 fields, no stalls at all (took 2.5-3 hours). Soon as it got over 75, it starts stalling. the only way I can replicate it...

Had a new air filter as well when I had it serviced. Going to go check for any loose wire.

I have the HST, but you bring up a point.. when it stalls it sounds exactly like it does when the seat switch is tripped. I might go run it in PTO mode with the seat up to see if it still stalls. do you know if there is a way to disable that?

well I was mowing today with my PTO at 550 rpms and the tractor at about 2400 rpms, and it will lose all power, idle for a second then stall even with the gas to the floor Other days I didnt have the PTO running but I run around 2000-2400 rpms usually. when I start it up, it goes right back...

as the title says, My L4240 stalls when the ambient temp is over 70ish. I just had a full service done, including fuel filter, oil, and hydraulics. It was happening prior to this as well. It stalls when its idling, or under load (PTO or not). But only when its hot. I ran it for 3 hours in...

at 40 hours a warning came on for the 50 hour service, but it also says "TravelMotorGearOil" with a flashing Yellow ! I dont see any error in the manual that looks like this, and a google search shows nothing. Is it just part of the service it soon message? All the fluids I have checked are...

Finally!.. mine showed up 10 months after ordering... now I just need the ground to dry out. I will post some pics tomorrow, but its nothing out of the ordinary.

I KX-040-4 with a few buckets. the most common order according to them

Wish I could say I have it, I ordered it in April. at this point I dont believe it will ever come in. apparently I am next on the list, what ever that means.

it ended up being a bad cell in the battery, it was reading 11.9v which is a little low but it freaked out when you turned the key, so it ended up being an east fix. so thanks for the advice

I checked the connectors and the voltage, sorry.

its a 2017or 18, dont remember right now. But has been running fine, was doing some work, came back home to fill up and no longer starts. no clicks, no nothing, lights on the dash flicker wildly. it will screetch at one point, i tried putting the shifter up through different positions...

well I am 50 and retired.. Time isnt an issue, I have tons of land dirt and rocks and the desire to learn how to use it. I also have a 40hp tractor and a almost every other farmer has a back hoe or dozer or grader to help me if I get stuck. also you guys werent kidding, after I ordered it the...

yeah seeing that barrier block lifted is what sold me. my current trailer is a 14500 so spose that would have been a limitation. I did make sure the 44 was under weight 1st though :)

yes that top pic is about the size of the rocks.. there are a couple monsters but not worried about them. I went to the local kubota dealer and looked at the KX040-4 and was pretty impressed, someone else posted pics of theirs here doing land clearing like I will. Will most likely pull the...

I live in Central Oregon, the soil is Wamic Loam... and shallow, tons of rocks. we call it moondust in the summer but when it packs its hard as a rock

2-3 foot for the rocks. just giving the rough size since I dont know how to estimate rock weight. I know my tractor can handle them when I have a counterweight on so they are around a ton. just getting them in the loader bucket is a pain and ends up messing up the ground. the rocks also are...

I have a ton of work that I need an excavator for, I was going to rent one and pay for some one to build a few rock walls, but it ends up costing about half as much as an excavator. I own a 270 acre ranch so there is no shortage of stuff to do with it. I own a Kubota L4240 but dont have a...

So a brief explanation of the situation, I am about to start building a house in a rural area which should take a year to a year and a half. We built a barn 1st to store all of our stuff plus equipment, the barn is 2400 sq feet with metal roof. so its quite a bit of roof surface. I put up a...

finally got the tractor delivered today.. L4240 with front loader.. they sent the wrong bucket so ill go pick up the HD 72 round back bucket this weekend.. 72" land pride box blade, RCR2572 RCR2672 Mower.. couldnt be happier :) ill post pics of my terraforming when I start it

its going to be a few years before my wife and I build a house on our ranch, so in the mean time we had a barn built, and we park our RV next to it and use that when we go up and work. my barn is 2400 sq feet, metal roof, which can collect alot of rain water very quickly. the barn is situated...

well I have been looking at tractors for about a year now since I bought the ranch.. no pun intended. I had my eyes and heart set on the L4240, there just happened to be an AG show these week in my town, went down to see if there were any show specials.. One of the sales guys there showed me...

looking to get one to tow behind my rtv 1140, I dont know anything about them like what brands suck and such.. just looking for some direction. it will need to be heavy duty, I have alot of wood. just a bad shoulder so no more hand splitting. i know this is the RTV forum but i didnt really...

subject says it all.. im at my house, rtv is 2 hours away and i need to change a tire tomorrow.. cant for the life of me find the manual. thanks

so I have a farm.. 272 acres.. mostly wooded.. for a bout 4 months.. I have a Kubota RTV 1140.. awesome.. and i have alot of plans.. barn will be in shortly.. house and moving there is about 4 years off. I need the ability to cut grass, and level terrain. and I dont want to wait a few years...
