Some days I wish I had gone a little bigger. Some days I miss having a backhoe. But it’s mowing well and doing light duty loader work well. So far, so good.

Used the T474HC to move a pile of clay/dirt to some low spots today. Then cut the weeds down in the sacrifice pasture now that the horses are enjoying some other pastures. Running very well. The cab, AC, and radio were much appreciated. Bugs are on the glass and mirrors trying to get to me. The...

There isn’t a lot of room between my rear R-14 tires and fenders. I see you have the R-4s. Thank you for the information. I’ve seen those before but haven’t tried them. Yet.

I forgot to ask you this question. What type and brand of chains did you go with for your T474?

Up over 11 hours on the T474 now. Some light duty loader work. But. Mostly mowing work with the Land Pride RCF2072. We actually had some time over the last few weeks with no rain! Or very little. So I was able to go through the trails even in the low spots. Still wet and muddy, but not as bad. I...

I just leave it up around 2200-2400 rpm

I just bought a T474HC. I’ll be looking for this under my cab. Thanks. I’ll see if they are still doing same thing. Maybe I should wrap mine with a good electrical tape to seal it all in?

How has your tractor been starting lately? Any new information? Does it appear to be colder temperatures related?

Put it to work mowing and taking care of some light duty loader work already. Had a bit over two hours on it when it arrived. Now has 7.1 hours on it.

Decided I wanted to get back into a HST transmission Tractor. Went with a new TYM T474 HC….. Had the dealer load the rear tires, add a plug-in block heater, and the 3rd function kit down the loader. Should make for a comfortable, year round work horse. Who else has one of these or the 494/574? ..

So. Did you end up buying the T474? And thanks for the replies to this thread guys. Time for me to find, and keep track of, as much information on the TYM T474 as I can.

So, what model do you have?…. T474 Cab w/Hydrostatic Transmission how long have you had it?….1 day and how many hours do you have on it?…. 3.5 Got it with a couple hours on it. To get use to it, I started by doing some light loader work, and then moved to some mowing with the 6’ rotary...

@mojoinco and @TractorTech Thank you, very much. I will have to reread your post several times, and refer back to them as time goes by I’ll check these things and do preventative maintenance. I will also print them and give to next owner when I sell it. It is a very nice machine, in very nice...

Hello New Holland owners. Does anyone here currently own, and/or have experience with a New Holland TN55, 65, or 70? I just recently purchased a 1999 TN55S with 8X8 transmission and left hand power reverser. It just arrived last night after dark. I did get a chance to try it out for about 20...

Well. I decided against that purchase. Dam. Found out some work had been done to it that I didn’t know about. And wasn’t told about. It was all fixed. It probably would have been okay, but I didn’t feel 100% about it. Dealer was good about it and no hard feelings either way.

Looks like I’m going to need a lesson in proper operation of this. LOL And I’ll try to find an operator’s manual. Anyone on TBN who has actual experience running a 345D with 8x8 with power shuttle?

The transmission controller is obsolete? But the “lockup” on the 8x8 was designed for mowing. Difference between the two? What do you mean by transmission controller? And that is separate from the lockup? The lockup is a button on the end of the shuttle lever? So I bring my RPMs up to, Oh say...

Then there is the electronically activated torque converter lockup. ? I guess I would need a good lesson on how to properly operate this transmission. Or stick to a hydrostatic transmission which has been great for loader and mowing work. I have always been interested in trying one of these...

So if I remember correctly a gentleman related it to trying to slow your truck down by braking but not reducing your RPMs. Basically you have to bring your RPMs up to get your PTO rpm to 540. Then you are trying to mow back and forth around obstacles reducing forward speed for turning, etc. I am...

From what I am told the 8 speed is also a torque converter. ? But that it will be fine for a mower. I guess I’m not understanding the conversation I read in a discussion about these tractors.

I’m looking at buying a New Holland 345D with the 8 speed power shuttle transmission. I do a good bit of loader work moving materials and snow, so believe it will work well for this. But I want to be sure it will be good for mowing with a brush hog as well. I have read that a torque converter...

2014 Kubota L45 Tractor Loader Backhoe Series 1652 hours and going up slowly as being used. These TLB series tractors are NOT the same as their agricultural counterparts. These are built for commercial construction use. Stronger loader, stronger backhoe, stronger frame, stronger hydraulic...

Was warm today, but the FOPS keeps the sun off. With lots of trees around creating shade it wasn’t too bad.

I was aghast at what they wanted for that medium duty Land Pride 2072. :oops:But, it’s a nice cutter. So I just sprung for it. You only live once.

No. Just pin on bucket on this one.

Have had this one for about 2-1/2 weeks now. Not a lot of time to use it with work, overtime, family home visiting, etc. But enough time on it to know it appears to be in good working order. Can’t wait until I have 2 or three days in a row where I can put it to work for more than an hour or two.

Missed the last one after I sold it. I REALLY should keep this one.

Moving a little firewood and getting some mowing done.

Did I read that the loader on these is operated with foot controls?

I decided against it. It sold soon after.

Forgot to post a picture of completed mounting of backhoe. Working well.

See one locally for sale. Curious how people liked them or not. The 160 were built 1982-1983. Are parts available for them? Thanks for your time.

I bought the backhoe. Will be a while before I get to use it. Swamped right now between work, mowing, weedeating, and other projects on property. But it looks like it is in good condition. Will be a chore getting it hooked up for the first time, when I get to it.

Kubota Dealer said they probably didn’t register it when bought. They couldn’t determine it. ?

Anyone know how to figure out what year my tractor is? Model L3710D, Serial # 75661.

Ugh. 😞 We couldn’t get our schedules to work for pickup. Oh well. Maybe next week.

Hey Hey! I called Woods and Dan with Tech Support told me that model subframe, for that model backhoe, is designed to fit my tractor. Several models from the Grand L10 series, 3010 thru 4310, including my L3710. I think I’m going to buy it.

Did you mean to call Woods? The backhoe company?

I know these tractors were built between 1998-2002. Seller was unsure. I picked a 2000. Anyone know what year mine is for sure? Model L3710D, Serial # 75661.

Thanks. I’m waiting for my Kubota dealer to get back to me tomorrow. Hope you’re right. Any idea if there is a difference in frame for a ROPS or Cab tractor of that era? I think I want to buy it if not. My 3710 has the mid mount PTO as well. The guy I bought it from said he never used it either...

I did ask him if he has all the mounting brackets and hardware that mounted it to the L4310 with it. And he said yes. If I buy it, it’s going to be a haul to go get it. But round trip can be done in 11 hours with 1 hour for load time. Long drive, but good price and has been used little and...

I’m fairly handy. But my shop is not very well equipped. And, unfortunately, I am not a welder. I do have a place, not far away, that can do that. There is even a guy around who travels and welds. Why do you think adjustment/modifications would be involved? Just curious.

Good day to you all. I recently purchased a Kubota L3710 HST. And am thinking of buying a used, in good shape, Woods BH9000 backhoe. The backhoe is advertised as coming off a Kubota L4310. It has a frame mount with the number 1001199 on the plate. It is a self contained unit with its own PTO...

A little lifting today.

I like this one as well.

Nice ride. I mean, peace of work equipment. I was just checking some out and saw that one. Nice. I do have a piece of some type of extruded sheet steel and a neighbor who could cut it and weld it to. It would take some cleaning up and paint first. But, would function. Hmmm

Nope. Bought far away and transported. Kubota makes nice stuff!

Any recommendations in addition to what is on it?

I have put it to work for a bit moving firewood and cleaning up around a large burn pile. Seems to be a decent runner. I need to get a plug in heater installed in the engine soon. Then I would eventually like to add auxiliary hydraulics to the loader for a grapple. But that will be down the...

Went with a cab with heat and AC this time. Will be nice for the cold weather. And it fits through an 8’ high door nicely.

I like this TLB just the way it is. If I decide I want more power I’ll move to an M59. Glad you are having good luck with yours. I really like the TLB series, especially the hydrostatic transmissions ones. I have owned “several”. Great for a lot of loader work, and they are also very nice when...

The thumb fix turned out to be a spring in a valve was missing. I had them fix that, engine oil and filter change, and hydraulic oil and filters changed.💲Yikes. You want to play, sometimes you got to pay.

Looks like they got the thumb fixed right.:D

The heavy duty debris & pallet forks are working well. I had a full day off today and put them and L45 to work. You can see how if loader and forks are brought down you can see the end of the forks. Very handy when getting under branches and rocks.

Dug out a couple more stumps last evening. Not a chance of clamping and holding anything. I have no time over the next few weeks to be figuring it out. But I will eventually fix it, or get it fixed at the Kubota dealer, and let you know what it was.

Thanks. I took a read of it. Unfortunately no finish posting on what they did to fix it.

I’ll let you know when I get time to try it again. Maybe tomorrow, early evening. But I’ve used hydraulic thumbs before and this would not allow any pressure for sufficient clamping.

I’ll give it another try. But I couldn’t pick a stump up that didn’t weigh that much. When you say set the thumb. You mean move thumb into position with foot pedal, then take foot off pedal and use buck to clamp. Correct?

I was able to use the L45 for a little while today. A question for you folks. While digging a stump up and out I had plenty of hydraulic power. Also plenty of power with front loader and bucket moving heavy, fresh cut, bucket fulls of firewood. The place I did not have enough power was with the...

(y)Even if only for a few minutes. Any amount of tractoring is usually fun.

I’ve had this tractor for about two weeks now. But have been working so much I haven’t been able to use it. Probably just as well. Everything is so wet. Rain, rain, rain. I had a guy deliver a dump trailer full of firewood today and he couldn’t get it backed down my road. Narrow road with both...

Debris forks being built by neighbor/friend should help in land cleanup work with L45. I found two separate sets of 48” forks for sale. I’ll use these on brush, branches, logs, and stumps already dug out. I see burn piles in my future where I need to clear unwanted trees in an area for more...

Thank you. I have owned several of the Kubota TLBs 1999 Kubota L35 TLB 2012 Kubota M59 TLB 2005 Kubota L48 TLB 2007 Kubota L39 TLB Amongst several other machines. It is so great to have a piece of equipment around whenever I need it. Instead of renting and returning. Or paying someone else to...

Just over 1,000. Yes.

😇This one was not local. But not too awful far away either. I’m hoping this just needs minor cosmetic TLC and minor maintenance needed. I have a LOT of work I want to do with it after things dry out a bit here. And I get some free time to enjoy! Hey. :unsure:Wait a minute. Who is out of control...

https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/my-next-work-partner-kubota-l45.465864/

My new to me 2012 L45. She is going to need a little T.L.C. But this one has a hydraulic thumb on the backhoe, auxiliary hydraulics up front (controlled at the loader), and three auxiliary hydraulics at the back for three point hitch operation! I have never had that before. Also came with the...

I have really wanted to try one of those. But have heard, or read, that an axle housing crack can be a VERY expensive fix. ? I don’t know if that is a result of abusive use or not. But it makes me nervous to buy one. So it will begin with a K.

:unsure: I wonder what letter the manufacturer will start with for the warmer seasons work partner?

SOLD! Quick turnaround on that one! Time to move to a 4 wheel drive with removable back and three point hitch for the the warm season. Yea! Warmth!

I think they will give him his money back, if he ask for it. Then they will sell the new tractor and make their profit.

Get your down payment money back. Go find a tractor that is physically present in front of you. Or in stock on a dealer lot, or site you find on internet. Work your best deal on a new, or barely used tractor, and buy it. Get it home and enjoy it. Save yourself the hassle and headache of lawyers...

I’m glad to see your tractor is working well for you. Stay warm.

My new to me 401C got a little work done today. I hope to continue some winter work with it. But apparently more snow is on the way. We have had two storms. One dropped over two feet on us just before Christmas. But each storms snow melted away. We currently have about 4” of a mix on the ground...

For a 40+ year old machine it is in great shape. Upon closer inspection the paint is not as faded as it appears. There is a thick layer of dust stuck to it. With a good thorough cleaning it should really come back to shine nice. Oil looks good. I need to install a plug in heater for cold weather...

Well, according to the guy I bought this from, it has 1468 hours on a working meter that are verified. Township owned it and kept in inside. It’s in very nice shape.

Do you remember how many hours were on yours when you sold it? Nice shape?

That’s encouraging. I use to own a J.D. 300B for a short time. Very similar, little brother. Great workhorse. Then sold it after I got some projects done. Missed it as well. I just purchased a 401C that should be arriving tomorrow. Unfortunately I have to work so won’t get to use it until Monday...

How did the 401C work for you?

@TBigLug Do you still have your 401C?

Did you find any tires and rims to swap yet? If your R-1s would fit my L5030 I would swap you my R-4s. But they don’t appear to be the right size. Mine should have: Kubota L5030 Tires Ag front: 9.5-16 Ag rear: 14.9-26 If you are looking for info on models and tires TractorData.com...

Thanks. So I do not have hydraulics on the back of my tractor. I would have to add them or go with a PTO pump and self contained hydraulics in the backhoe. I don’t want to go with just a three point hitch hook up. Unfortunately, whatever way will be expensive. Kicking myself in the rear for...

I found out they don’t make a subframe for the Kubota 4560 backhoe and my L5030 Tractor. Called Messick’s and they called me back after some research.

Heys guys. Does anyone know if a Kubota 4560 backhoe will fit my L5030? I see one for sale not too far away. But he does not have the subframe for it. He says he has the brackets that mount to the subframe. Looks to be in good shape. Looks to have a PTO pump. Did these run off PTO pumps if you...

So far I like it. Kubotas seem to have the least amount of issues. I use to own an M series with hydraulic shuttle. M6040 with a backhoe with hydraulic thumb. R-1 tires. Very nice with good power for it’s size. I wish I had kept that one. LOL I often buy something to get certain jobs done. Then...

My new to me 2004 Kubota L5030 HST. It’s in nice shape for the year with only 785 hours when bought. I’m at about 808 now. I’ve been mowing with rotary cutter and now moving a bunch of sandy loam type topsoil. Great to be back to hydrostatic! Anyone own one of these? And how has yours been for you?

Because I wasn’t paying attention when I put them back on. :D I’ll have to switch sides someday. Someone else pointed that out to me as well. LOL

Project completed. And for sale in Tractors for sale area.

It seems to be a mechanically sound tractor. Starts, runs, and operates well. Has the front loader. Needs TLC in the cosmetic department. I have begun the stripping, priming, and painting. New decals and a couple small parts ordered. Hopefully I’ll have it looking almost new again in 3-4 weeks...

Thanks. That is where I was too.

Hey guys. I bought a Ford 2120 that I will be fixing up. Was wondering if you could confirm year for me. Serial number is UV21865. I believe it to be a 1988, but want to be sure I have it correct. Thank you.

Kubota first. :unsure:Wheelbarrows, laborers and shovels, before Mahindra.

Completed the install of ice studs today. They shipped quickly!

Now I’m in the forum through tapatalk. Back to normal. So here is what I found..... And here is what I put together with my neighbor making the plates and cutting me some short lengths of chain. Things have improved since these pictures.

Well my good neighbor/friend helped me by finishing up the tightening of the chains. I’ve been busy working so we did a little here and there for an hour in the morning. It turned out with the fasteners (tension adjusters) left on they and chain were going to hit on the mechanical parts of front...

A very heavy box arrived today! Yea! I worked out in the cold off and on all day with the chainsaw. So I earned a couple of the bottles. LOL I have to work the next few days but I will put the chains on this weekend.

Put the M59 to work the other day. Getting the BTU supply underneath our covered porch. It’s a nice size bucket.

Getting another stump out of the way.

Getting a little work done here and there with the M59 Firewood splitting done. Put the splitter back in the barn. Did some mowing on the trails today.

Grapple is here and finally being put to work today. Bolt on sides taken off for sorting/moving logs.

Some three point hitch work. Moving some things around to get wood processing area cleaned up a bit.

Some finishing touches with the York Rake today. Almost ready for grass seed!

Time for a little re-in forcing here. D’Oh! My plan for these forks is to be a carry all for one or two two different work boxes I’m going to build.

A little 3-Point hitch pallet fork work today. Moving some things around.

Clean up time. Rocks everywhere! Getting some dirt work done. The M59 really shines and enjoys this type of work.

Burning up the last of the stumps. Lucky here. We have had enough rain to get it done.

Did a little brush hogging this morning. Then took the three point hitch off and put the backhoe back on. Switched over to the two foot bucket and dug a few stumps out. Getting pretty hot out now. Time for a break and a drink in the air conditioning.

Clean up and finish off work.

So on the right hand side of my tractor (if sitting on seat), I have noticed a small plate with two holes in it that are threaded. Anyone know what that is for on their M59? Looks like a decent spot to mount a toolbox hanger.

My next project is to make a three point hitch carry all box like one I built before and mount my chainsaw holder to it. I have a three point hitch pallet fork package I bought from Titan. I’m considering a toolbox and place for chains on that box. But. Both of those things really should be on...

A break in the shade while mowing.

You just nailed it! Thank you sir! My clumsy foot must be turning it! D’Oh!

I’m sure this is probably something simple. But today my mower is cutting out and 3-point hitch is not going down. Yesterday everything worked fine. Any ideas?

Well I decided to get a Kubota M59. Traded in my last tractor. Nough said. I thought I had better start talking with some other M59 owners on TBN and see what I can learn. It’s also time to read the manual. LOL As part of the purchase deal I had them install auxiliary hydraulics up front and...

Just moved a little snow away from the barn doors today. The 3550 is running well. Last week I had my neighbor put three additions on my bucket. 1/2” plate underneath. Weld-on grab hooks are very nice to have.

Digging stumps. Is this covered under warranty? Ugh.

Stump removal. Oh honey. It’s just a couple small holes in the yard.

Moved some horse manure, and then some brush to a burn pile from where I’m clearing some small, unwanted trees. Chainsaw and tractor running well. Wet clay. Yuck!

Hauled out a few more buckets of next year’s BTUs.

Hauled a little wood out today. Just passed 300 hours on it yesterday.

Tractor is on snow duty now. That’s it. We have received about 6” so far and looks like we will get another 2-4 anyway. Then a few more on Christmas Day. For everyone in this area who wanted a White Christmas, they got it. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you!

Getting use to the rear blade.

Can anyone help me identify this bolt? I found it on the ground on stone drive outside my barn just before it snowed. We walk this drive a lot between the house and the barn. And my wife and I hadn’t seen it. Then just saw it late Monday afternoon and picked it up. Luckily, before it snowed...

I feel sooooooo much better now that my tractor is working right again. Yesterday I worked it for about 3-1/2 hours. Moving debris and pulling a few stumps. We have our first decent quantity of snow coming overnight tonight. Luckily for me I have a couple days off right now. So today I put...

Made some time to work the tractor today. Good power now and making some progress. About 3-1/2 hours of work done today. Moving debris and pulled a few stumps as well. Ground is not frozen down yet. Cold temperatures are here to stay now though. Going to the single digits this week. Maybe even zero.

Wishing all of you a very Happy Thanksgiving with your family and/or friends!

Moved a few timbers, and one heaping load of topsoil to level off in a stall in the barn. Getting some things done that need to be before the snow starts flying. We've been lucky with the weather so far. Extra time to get things done.

I just found a nice heavy duty blade at a good price on Craigslist for the three point on the tractor. This will be nice for moving snow, and building and maintaining roads and trails. It will rotate 360, tilt, and offset.

Wondering if any Mahindra owners could offer up suggestions on contacting Mahindra representatives and getting problems resolved. I was really excited about my Mahindra when I got it. My 3550 can do some serious work, when it's working. The combination of power and the hydrostatic transmission...

I've put 19 hours on the tractor so far. Moving snow, grappling logs to be blocked up for next seasons firewood, and pushing downed trees and brush off the logging trails.

Using my new Mahindra 3550 4X4 HST for snow removal. Wondering what you folks who use hydrastatuc tractors generally run your RPMs at. I have been adjusting and getting use to the HST. Recently settled on about 1500 RPMs in Medium gear range. Any other snow practice or tips with just using a...

I was able to light the big pile in the middle about 5pm or so. That was after about 7 inches of snow Sunday. It took a bit to get it going but once I did, the snow be melting quick! LOL I let that burn for about an hour and a half, then used the 3550 to start pushing the two piles, one on each...

3550 4X4 HST Just delivered yesterday. R-1s, 75B Backhoe, 3rd function for up front, single lid grapple, forks, chains for the rears. 6 ft medium duty rotary cutter to be delivered in a few weeks. Just got some time on it today. Moved a little snow and some stumps I need to burn.

Thanks. I had the dealer order these particular chains from tirechain.com. They are called Duo-Ladder Combination and I got them with the V-bars. I moved some snow with it today, then used the forks to move some stumps up on to the top of a couple burn piles.

Just in time for the next snow. Looks like we will get 5-8" on Sunday.

Tractor is in! Be a few more days before its ready. But I should have it before the next snow/Ice we are predicted to get Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday. I can't wait to put her to work!

Hello all. I have ordered my new Mahindra 3550 HST. I have been reading here about Mahindra Tractors, looks like happy owners and some unhappy owners. I am wondering if any of you would suggest a checklist, or something else, for me to go through with my dealer. I know some of the problems I...

Hello all. I have been buying used, low hour machines in the past. Working them for 1-2 years and then selling them. Get a lot of work done with them and then get most of my money back out of them. This time I have decided to go new. Get a warranty and have a local dealer to service it. I've...

Okay. I'm back again. LOL Different piece of equipment now and the same problem. Would like chains on rear tires. LOL Can I put tire chains on the rear tires of my Kubota L35? I have seen in a couple different places where people say there is a space issue. ? Has anyone put chains on the rears...

I bought a one year old Woods Brushbull-60". The driveline has a locking ring you are suppose to slide forward /backward when taking on/off. The three steel balls inside will not let the shaft from mower go on past those three balls. I sprayed them with some liquid wrench and cleaned PTO shaft...

Here is a picture of that Cockshutt I was thinking of.

Hello guys. I am looking at a Cockshutt 1365. 4wd with a cab. Seems to be in nice shape. Can you still get parts for these tractors? Anyone own one? Can you tell me what you think of them? Thanks for your time.

Nope. No loader on the Powermaster. I have a Bobcat B300 T/L/B with a cab. But the Powermaster is a lot lighter, and with no cab can get around in the woods easier. It looks similar to this. Not as nice, but it is getting there. LOL I'll post a pic of mine with the carry all wood box I built...

Hey guys. Been a while since I have been on this site. I have purchased some property and a Ford 851 Powermaster. I just built a wood box on top of a carry all frame I bought at Tractor Supply that was rated at 1000 lbs for the frame. I don't plan on loading it that much but some have advised me...

Lets see if this pic works.

Well folks I bought my next Tractor/Loader/Backhoe. I found an 05 Bobcat B300 with a cab with heat! All I have had time to do with it was park it. Then had to go away for several days and then back to work. It is driving me crazy not being able to use it. I will have some time over the next few...

Hello everyone. I am looking at a 2004 Bobcat B300 TLB. Will be using whatever machine I decide on my property for digging some drainage ditches, pulling some stumps and rocks, moving material with bucket, moving material with forks, adding a grapple in the future for moving brush, stumps, snow...

Quick question for you. Anyone have experience with a collar shift transmission? If you do, could you tell me how you liked it? Is it necessary to "double clutch" each time you change gears with this transmission? If so, is that a P.I.A. when doing loader work? I am looking at a John Deere 5200...

I am at a toss up of getting chains for my rear tires or adding some pallet forks to my bucket up front. I could really use some pallet forks. My bucket is not quick attach. I noticed on my bucket it looks like there may have been a bar on it prior to me buying it. I don't know if that was used...

Hey guys. I am thinking of buying some tire chains for my tractor. What can you give me for advice. Thinking of Duo-ladder Combination from Tirechains.com. Like these. Duo Ladder Tractor Tire Chains Well. Tried to load a picture from my computer but that didn't seem to work for some reason...

Should both front wheels be driving when I have the four wheel drive engaged on my L3710? While plowing snow I spin often with the industrial tires when things get slippery. Tread is in good shape.

I am looking for best practice advice when using a backhoe. I have done a bit of work with different loader/backhoes over the years. (Large and small.)But I certainly am no expert. I currently own and operate a Kubota L3710 with loader and backhoe. I am in the process of some landscape work to...
