Hi All, I've just added one of Ken's Bolt-On Hook's excellent clevis kits and, due to a helpful suggestion from a fellow TBN member (rScotty), I realize I need to get some "D-Rings" I can use with the nylon lifting slings I have, which have nylon loops at each end. You can see the clevis kit I...

Hi all, I bought some of Ken's excellent Bolt-On Hook products some time ago, and am only now getting around to putting the Bolt-On Clevis Mount (for a shackle) on the backside of the backhoe bucket on my BH77, on my B3000HSDCC. I can't remember why I didn't buy both the chain hook and the...

Hi all, I'd like to ask if anyone can recommend a good, lightweight cover for a compact tractor for INDOOR storage. Our (cabbed) Kubota B3000 has the BH77 backhoe and FEL on it, currently, so it's 18.5' Long x 7'1" High, and the FEL's bucket and mower deck are both 5' wide. I would like a...

Hi all, I need to find a shipping company that will transport my Kubota B3000 HSDCC approximately 130 miles (2 hours, per Google's "Driving Directions"), within the state of NY. The starting zip code is 10901 (about 30 mi. north of NYC) and the destination is 12140 (a few miles outside of...

Hi all, It's been a while, but here I am with a question: Rather than reinvent the wheel, I wanted to ask folks to post a pic of where they've run the "SAE Quick-Connect" electrical cable to their BatterMINDer or battery maintainer (which is not mounted to the tractor)? IOW, I have the...

Hi all, I've been away for a few years. After being my wife's Primary Care Giver as she survived stroke, then breast cancer (though there's a second, not so scary surgery we've been putting off, re: that) as I say, I've been away from all things Kubota (except I've kept up with my KTAC policy...

Hi all, My experience with lawn tractors is limited to many hours on a gear-drive, '80's-vintage Ariens (42" cut), a couple of 1960, gear-drive, 8-10 hp., Simplicity's, a few hours on a '72 Wheel Horse GT14 (48" cut, hydro, 14hp Kohler single) that I refurbed for a friend, and too many hours on...

Hi all, I normally "darken" the Kubota forum, but I thought this query might have broader appeal. :) Due to back surgery, my MD says I'm not allowed to lift a full, 5-6 gallon fuel can, but a helpful, fellow TBN'er suggested these fuel transfer pumps: Tuthill痴 Fill-Rite DC Fuel Transfer...

"Mr. Funnel" vs the Racor Fuel Funnel "RFF"--What's the Difference(s)? Hi all, I really have three questions: First: Somewhere (most likely in our Kubota forums) I saw reference to a fuel funnel that contained it's own fuel filter that would allegedly filter out WATER and other contaminates...

Hi all, We got our 2012 B3000HSDCC delivered today. It has 217 hours on it. And it went great, with the exception that the driver initially didn't get enough height, on his ramp ends, to prevent the BH's lower boom frame from plowing about a 6"-deep trench into our thankfully (fairly) soft...

Hi all, First, I apologize for the weird spacing/tabbing--the site really screwed up the Word doc I drafted this in, originally. I'm a Kubota person, but my friend and neighbor is in the market for a Mahindra, but he's too busy to get on the computer, and he's not a computer person--literally...

Hi all, Like most folks, I would love to go the SSQA route, for a "Quick Attach" system, for my B3000's LA403 loader. However, time and other constraints have made me reconsider the benefits of going with Kubota's pin-on, "Quick Attach" system. Unfortunately, when I called my local dealer, he...

Hi all, Due to time constraints, logistics and the big bite of the B3000's LA403's FEL's lifting capacity that is taken out by adding a standard SSQA, I'm trying to get my head around using Kubota's (much lighter and less expensive) "pin on" QA system for the FEL. But my main reservation is...

Hi all, I wanted your opinions on this WSM for my 2011 B3000. 2011 Kubota B3000 Tractor Service Workshop Manual | eBay Thanks much, My Hoe

Hi all, I'm seriously considering adding a grapple, mainly for firewood processing. (Have a B3000 with the LA403/BH77, that I want to convert to an SSQA on the FEL). I will have to add front remotes and (I believe) have the loader valve changed/upgraded). Meaning, the first thing the...

Hi all, I say "Dumb Question" because my recently-purchased Kubuta B3000 is 4.5 hours away, for the immediate future, and the nearest stealership (not calling ALL dealerships this moniker, just the locals) is not close. I've recently (paid for, but not received--which was my choice, as I need...

I guess the headline pretty much says it all: "Can I Get KTAC on a Late-Model, Used B-series?" Okay, I do have more questions: 1. Will it cover both Liability (i.e., "3rd Party Benefits") and; 2. Will it cover damage to the tractor (i.e., "1st Party Benefits") and; 3. Will it cover me...

Hi folks, I remember reading, back when I was hunting a B3030, that Kubota makes 1.5" (aluminum?) rear wheel spacers, to widen the track a total of 3", for added stability--especially appreciated on slopes and with cabbed tractors/hoes, etc..., due to their higher centers of gravity. But I...

Hi all, This quick hitch is unfamiliar to me, but I'm sure I'll go "Duh! :duh: when someone tells me. Hitch Pic: http://www.tractorhouse.com/listingsdetail/detail.aspx?OHID=9637491 And here is the Tractorhouse listing for the tractor itself: 2008 KUBOTA B3030...

Hi all, I know "Search" is my friend, but unfortunately, right now, Time is not--LOL. So I wanted to ask if a few people could direct me to their favorite "Things to Check Out When Buying a Used Tractor" CHECKLISTS, ideally. Or to threads, if no such Checklists exist. I'm looking at a...

Hi all, I'm looking at a 2011 B3000, that already has the "3RD FUNCTION VALVE KIT FOR CAB $799.00" and " HYDRAULIC ANGULATION KIT $483.00," to operate the hydraulic angle, factory snow plow. Is this "3RD FUNCTION VALVE KIT FOR CAB $799.00" and " HYDRAULIC ANGULATION KIT $483.00," the same...

Hey to the Brain Trust, And older friend of mine (since moved away) has a B3000 (I forget the year, but it's like 2011, I think?) and he called me, because it's making what he feels is a strange noise. (EDIT: Title should read "Clacking Noise..." not "Clunking Noise...." Sorry). He said it...

Hi all, I regret not getting in on the bidding on the following tractor, and now the ebay ad says "...there was an error in the listing." So, I'm hoping that the Seller didn't just sell it locally, and I might actually see it in my "ebay-feed" as being "relisted." So I wanted any and all...

Hi all, I'm confused. I would like to know the difference(s), if any, between the last of the B3030HSDCC's "Premier Plus B Series" and the B3000HSDCC "Premier Plus B Series." I've been seeking a late model, low-hour B3030HDCC. It is my understanding that the first "C" denotes the "Cold Cab"...

Hi all, Due to back/foot problems, I have to limit both my time on small, riding mowers (rough ride quality) and time holding up heavier string trimmers. Plus, our new (to us) property has lots of gently-sloping hills/apron areas (think, around the entrances to the barn/outbuildings, etc...)...

Hi all, I'm looking for OPEN-STATION, Kubota B3030 OR a B2630. I need a foldable ROPS (or the open-station machine won't fit into some of my buildings, either) but I'd be willing to consider a non-folding ROPS, once I researched the costs/PITA involved in switching the ROPS out to to folding...

Hi all, I'm looking for a cabbed, Kubota B3030--but not just any cabbed B3030. I need the one with the defroster wires embedded into the rear glass. (I want this feature for enhanced, rearward visibility, as I live in snow country. I know there are plenty of B3030 regular cab owners who...

Hi, I can't seem to find a place to post a "Wanted" ad, for the B3030's (two of them, or a B3030HSDCC and a B2630 or B3030 open-station) that I need. If I have missed it, I do apologize, and would appreciate a link to it. If there IS no "Wanted" section here, in our "Classifieds," may I...

Hi all, WARNING--LONG POST. Standard restrictions apply (i.e., if you don't want to take the time to read it, fine, but please don't take the time to b**** about how long it is. Since you're already smarter than me, you can kindly skip it, without comment, right?) :thumbsup...

Hi all, I subscribe to Norton, by Symantec, for my anti-virus, firewall, etc.... I got an email from them today, in which they offer a "scan tool," to check websites one uses, to see if they're still vulnerable to the "Heartbleed" virus. There's a field you enter your websites address in...

Is the "5hp. per Mower-foot" Rule Inviolate? Want a 6' MMM on a B2630 vs. B3030 Hi all, I have read that one should have 5hp. for every foot of mower-span--but I'm not sure if this applies just to THP mowers, or to MMM, as well? I am a fan of the "old" (discontinued in, I believe, 2012)...

Hi all, A great, fellow TBN'er sent me the Kubota Whole Goods Catalogue, so I probably have the answer already. But I just wanted to double-check, because this catalogue appears to be for 2013, and I'm looking at 2011-2012 machines and older, and I wanted to be sure there weren't conflicting...

Hi all, Below is the link to the machine in question: 2012 Kubota L3800 Loader Backhoe 265 Hours | eBay Hi all, I would appreciate opinions on the value of this machine. And I have the following questions: 1. Isn't the Grill Guard Bent Forward, Significantly? I contacted owner, and he said...

Hi all, I saw mention of this Guide occasionally on these pages, then recently I saw the link below, so I'd like to ask: https://shop.tractorbluebook.com/all-products/product Is this the best, most accurate/respected resource of it's kind? I am looking to purchase a CUT, in the 30+hp range...

Hi all, I'll be posting a number of questions on the 2008 L3400HST, but I've decided to try a bunch of separate posts, as I feel sometimes folks tire of reading long posts. Due to Kubota.com's failure to list all the specs on the older models, I'm forced to bother you all with this. The...

Hi all, I'm looking at a L-series, the seller of which is confused about the "model year" of the tractor, i.e., the date upon which it went into service. (As most of us know, unlike cars, Kubotas do not have specific "model years"--rather, the date recorded in the Kubota dealership database...

Greetings, TripleR, (And the following is also addressed to any and all who'd care to contribute their opinions, experiences, etc...). I have a question about your Grammar air ride seat. I may be moving into the L's (perhaps an L3800-class machine), because all my searching for a low-hour...

Hi all, I was trying to find the detailed specifications Kubota used to list on their site, for the recently-discontinued B2630. I went to "Prior Products" and they have B's goiing back to 1974, but no B2630, from the early 2000's, ending in, I believe, 2010. The page for "Prior Products" for...

Hey all, I am interested in a B3030HSDCC, and found one at a dealer. It was put in service in 2010. They are asking like $23,000., with the following equipment: Front snow blower, with Hydraulic Chute Rotation Subframe, etc, for the blower, obviously. Rear defogger which, in this case...

Hi all, I'm looking hard at a B3030, and the dealer is recommending a "Paladin Grapple" for my needs. My immediate needs are to pick up bucked, firewood rounds--18-30" in diameter, by 18" in length--and load them into my pickup or a rented trailer and, ideally, both. Some "giants" would be...

Hi all, I'm sure this will turn out to be a "rookie question," (as I am a CUT rookie) but here goes anyway, as you guys are a pretty understanding bunch. :) I've restarted my tractor search, after too much LIFE got in the way, and I hope to acquire a B3030 Cabbed tractor, and put the Woods...

Hi all, I am looking at a B3030HSDC that I'm told is a B3030HSDCC, the first "C" standing for "Cold" as in "Cold Cab." But I don't think it is--I think it's a B3030HSDC that someone added the REAR wiper kit to, but that there is ZERO provision for rear or side defrost. However, when I...

Hi all, As I've mentioned in other threads (that I believe were too long and therefore kind of turned some folks "off," if you know what I mean) that I'm looking at a used B303HSDCC. It has a 60" MMM. which I have approx. six questions about (with sub-parts, of course). :) I have some...

Hi all, I'm looking at a B3030HSDC. Since the dealer is adding a hoe (if I buy) I want to make sure any other options I'd want in the future are done NOW, as there are no dealers close to where the tractor is going. 1. Is the "Third Function Value" an option the dealer can add on to a used...

Hi all, I owe some Kubota buddies BIG TIME, for a TON of help they're currently giving me. By that I mean, I don't have time, right now, to answer their 8, speedy, TOTALLY INSIGHTFUL, THOUGHTFUL, HELPFUL responses to my MEGA-post, and I don't want them to "catch" me over here, in Green...

Hi all, Now, I'm trusting you boys and girls not to go buying this machine out from under me--LOL but not really kidding. :D Of course, if I pass on it, I'll be sure to let you all know. I have a friendship, of sorts, with the dealer's owner, so I think he'd take kindly to anyone I...

Hi all, Sorry for the "Mayday" call, but I'd really appreciate some quick help. We're looking at a house, and the tractor is NOT coming with it, but may be available, possibly, for $1,400. It is a John Deere 145 lawn tractor, with a 48" deck, and a 22 hp. V-Twin Briggs and Stratton. I...

Hi again, I thought I wanted an open-station, foldable-ROPS B2630 until very recently, but now I'm leaning toward a B3030HSDC, but I'm not a fan of the HST's (seemingly-inherent) "whine." Won't a cab of any kind, especially a METAL/GLASS one, amplify the perceived HST whine? I've been reading...

Hi all, I've been torn between these two tractors--the B2630HSD and the B3030HSDC. I didn't think I'd ever want a cab, but I'm rethinking that issue. My main concern, presently, is how much "tippier" is a the same tractor equipped with a hard cab? I use this site frequently to compare...

Hi all, I've found this dealership's "model-to-model" comparison site to be very useful. (I don't even think Kubota's official site has this feature, right?). Kubota vs Kubota 2010 vs 2010 B3300SU vs B3030HSDC Has anyone known of this site (above) to have a history of being wrong/having...

Dear Moderator, If this isn't in the correct forum, I apologize--pls move, and notify, so I can follow it? Thanks! It's for my dog-and my g.f.--not me--I swear! LOL Okay, actually, since hurting my back, (and, because the situation is not yet resolved, please knock on REAL wood for me, three...

Hi all, First, my apologies. a) This is a long post, but please stick with it, as the questions get shorter! LOL b) Also, I feel bad, coming hat-in-hand as I do, with another question, when I haven't responded to the many members who answered my previous post about BX's vs B's, 2-3 weeks...

Hi all, I am in the market for a used BX or one of the B's. I have a few questions in this regard, and I can't yet decide if I want a BX or a B. I also expect to be "skinned" for at least one of my questions (lifting people up in the bucket--I know--probably a bad idea) but I did grow up in...

Hi all! I'm new here--I've been lurking for a month or so. I was a Simplicity fan, still have a couple from the '60's, but need to move up. I mow my lawn with a 1984 Ariens riding mower (11 hp/gear/belt drive) and it does amazingly well. It was free, needed $200. in parts and MUCH TLC, and it...

Hi all, I'm new here, and have been lurking only a few days, but I have found a TON of useful information here. I'm beginning to get a handle on the various iterations of Kubota SCUT models, but I would like help with two things. Could anyone direct me to a link, or give an explanation, to...
