Looking for a UTV with cab, heat and A/C which will do 40 + mph. It will replace my 2014 Kubota RTV X1100C which has served me well in all categories except for speed. Kubota RTV max speed is only about 25 mph. Much of my property is along 1.5 mile stretch of township asphalt road and I would...

Looking at getting a 72" 3PH rear grooming/finish mower for a John Deere 3720 cab tractor. All I've found on Deere website is Frontier brand, maybe the only one Deere offers. Looking for some experience and/or opinions with the Frontier grooming mowers, for example GM1072 or any other 72" rear...

With a little over 25 hrs on the new Kubota ZD1511-72, I decided to check fuel use. The mower is averaging 0.893 gph. This compares to an average of 0.658 gph on the ZD331-72 which I traded for this unit. The ZD1511 uses 35% more diesel fuel but it is running at maximum rpms and mows my 6+...

Looking to buy a new Kubota which has a DPF diesel particulate filter. I know it is there to meet tier 4 EPA emission requirements. This is all new to me so I have zero experience and knowledge. Does it have any detrimental effects on engine performance and/or maintenance?

Looking at upgrading to a new Kubota ZD 1511-72 mower which just came out end of last year. It has the Kubota DPF diesel particulate filter and I have no idea if this is negligible, good or bad thing. Anyone have one of these and relate their experience?

Looking for a gun rack to work with my Kubota RTV-X1100C UTV (cab model). What do you guys use?

Deere announced the new 3 series last October and the new 4 series compact utility tractors early this year. Been keeping an eye out for owner/user info here and elsewhere but have seen next to zero to date. Stopped by one of the largest Deere dealers in the area recently and they did not have...

I have a 2007 3720 cab tractor with the standard front exhaust. I have never smelled diesel exhaust fumes in the cab until the past few months while running the snow blower and rotary brush to clear the snow off the driveway. At times it is strong enough to make one's eyes burn. Something has...

One of the tractor quick disconnects is leaking when nothing is connected to the rear coupler. It does not leak when hose is connected. It is just a slow drip with the dust caps in place. I've wiped the inside female QD clean several times but doesn't seem to help as oil keeps dripping...

Looking to get a chisel plow for my deer plots and am seeking advice on which to get --- transport type with wheels or 3 PH type. Just started looking and found for sale a good used Ford 7 shank transport type with wheels for $800. Also going to look at a 3 PH type tonight with price tbd. I...

Been thinking about a new 4720 cab tractor. I have a 3720 cab tractor and have some concerns about whether the 4720 would be the same. 1) Heat and A/C in my 3720 cab has always been somewhat anemic -- works but not nearly as good as car or truck. Same in 4720 ?? 2) 3PH control on my 3720 cab...

Have a one year old JD 4320 with 130 hrs and started having this intermittent power steering problem. It will turn left just fine as it has always done but when I turn right the steering wheel will not budge. Turning the wheel left and right will usually overcome the problem. It's done this...

Looking for advice and opinions on the Kubota ZD331 mower with 72" deck. I'm mowing approximately 6 acres of lawn about twice a week. 5 acres are relatively flat and one acre is on hill side. I'm looking to spend less time mowing -- even considered contracting out the mowing. I stopped by...

Looking for advice and opinions on the John Deere 997 ZTrack mower with 72" mower deck. I'm mowing approximately 6 acres of lawn about twice a week. 5 acres are relatively flat and one acre is on hill side. I'm looking to spend less time mowing -- even considered contracting out the mowing...

It was -9 deg F here last night and +15 deg F around 11:00 AM today when I tried starting my 2010 JD 4320 tractor. Battery seemed to turn the engine over fast enough but just would not start. Tried pushing the key for 10 sec to activate the intake air heater and did not see any difference...

I have a 5 yr old Kubota M8200 cab tractor with 400 hrs and the A/C just started failing yesterday morning. At first, when the compressor would kick in, the air would be really cold. When it would eventually turn off, it would never come back on unless I turn off the A/C switch and then turn...

When installing/uninstalling the 485 backhoe to the 4320, I'm having trouble inserting/removing the 2 large pins that hold the backhoe in place. I use a floor jack to lift the backhoe just a little when installing and uninstalling the backhoe. Is there an adjustment for changing the up/down...

I'm looking for a leaf vacuum to clean the ditches along my half mile driveway. On paper, the Trac Vac 854 unit looks great but I've never seen one or talked to anyone who has one. The local dealer gave me a price today of $3550 for a new 854 which runs off the PTO. Price includes extra long...

Was at the JD dealer today kicking the tires on the new (2010) 4000 series tractors and noticed the newer ones with R4 tires had the rims welded on the inside where there used to be bolts to allow changing positions for different widths. Dealer said JD started shipping 4000 series with R4...

I have an M8200 with hydraulic shuttle shift (5 yrs old ) and my operators manual does not cover the clutch adjustment. Is there no adjustment on these critters? The tractor only has 310 hrs on it and there seems to be very little free play when depressing the clutch.

I've got a 2 yr old Tonnutti Sickle Bar Mower model FB 205 and need some new sections to repair the cutter bar. Dealer who carries them is about 50 miles away and doesn't have any in stock but will order for $4.00 per section. Ouch!! The bar has about 30 sections. Tractor Supply handles some...

Have a 4320 with 485 BH and must fold down the ROPS to put in the garage. I tried removing the top half of the ROPS by removing the pins but could not remove after taking off the locking pins. Tried light tapping with hammer and block of wood but still no dice. Is there a trick to removing the...

My 4320 3 pth just started squealing when lifting a heavy load like 6' rotary cutter. It was fine until I got the tractor back from the dealer a few days ago after he installed the 485 backhoe which also needs the power beyond kit. I uninstalled the 485 backhoe for the first time this evening...

I understand a 485 BH is fairly easy to attach/unattach to 4X20 series tractor once all the accessories for it are installed. Question, is it fairly easy to connect & run standard 3 PH attachments after unattaching the 485 BH. ie, is wrenching on/off parts required?

I've been thinking about getting a JD 485 backhoe for my JD 4320 open station tractor. I plan on using the backhoe to remove stumps, clean out ditches, and plant some trees here on this old 300 acre farm. Got a price today of $8300 with 24" bucket installed by the dealer. List price is...

Today I found a very deep gouge worn into the power steering hose on the right front side of my 3720 tractor. It happened because the hose rubbed against the frame when the front axle pivots. The tractor has about 140 hrs on it. Wish I had found it sooner before it got so bad. Just wondering...

Got the oil and filter to do the first service on my 5 month old JD 4320 w/o cab. I was surprised to find the oil filter on my tractor from the factory is RE518977 because the Owner's Manual specifies filter RE19626 (one I purchased at the dealer) for tractor w/o cab. For a cab tractor the...

Hello all. My 5 months old 4320 is approaching 50 hrs on the meter. I figured time to check the owners manual for initial service requirements and pick up the filters and oil. I was surprised to find JD specifies 200 hrs for first engine oil/filter change and 400 hrs for hydraulic oil and...

Hello. My neighbor just recently purchased a new Kioti CK25HST with FEL and a 60" Kioti rear blade -- very nice tractor. My neighbor has a 3000' gravel driveway and he plows the snow with the rear blade. Does anyone know if skid shoes are available for the blade to prevent it from digging...

The ROPS on my tractor must be folded down to enter/exit my garage. I dread the day when either my wife, son-in-law, or I forget to fold the ROPS prior to entering the garage. I've seen where others here on TBN have damaged their garage after forgetting to fold the ROPS and I know it could...

Hello to all. I'm looking to buy a new JD 4320 eHydro open station with R4 tires and am looking for opinions on what would be a good/fair deal. I've checked with one dealer and he is giving 12% off list plus $1000 rebate frm JD plus $500 off if I take the 4320 he has had on his lot for 3 mos...

I have been considering the vertical exhaust kit for my JD 3720 w/cab -- just to look more like a tractor. But, what are the advantages of a vertical exhaust vs the standard horizontal exhaust? Thanks in advance.

I bought a new JD 3720 Cab tractor in April of this year and have been using it mainly to mow approx 6 acres of grass all summer with a 72" MMM. Today I hooked up a 60" rotary cutter to the 3PH to do some field mowing. To my surprise I found the 3PH control to be extremely sensitive and the...

Hello. We've had this MF 1045 since new in 1990 and it has just over 500 hrs on the meter. It has been used primarily for making hay - no loader, no back hoe, no plowing or discing. It has developed a grinding noise in the transmission and it seems to be getting worse. When disengaging the...

Hello all. I recently inherited a Massey Ferguson 1045 with turf tires with a little less than 500 hrs on the meter. My wife's father bought it new around 1990 and used it mainly for cutting/making hay on the old farm. Anyways, I'm not sure whether to keep it or sell it. Someone told me that...

Hello all. I've been using the A/C which works fairly well but today I noticed a lot of water condensing on the rear third of the roof and water constantly dripping down on the front and rear windows. Is this normal for the 3X20 series with cab when using the A/C?? Thanks.

My 3720 is approaching 50 hrs so I checked the owner's manual to see what service needs to be performed. SURPRISE!! Nothing specified until 200 hrs or one year whichever comes first. All of my previous tractors (six) specified service at 50 hrs, eg, engine oil & filter, transmission oil &...

Just curious, do any of the CUT's (Deere, Kubota, etc) have a governor to regulate engine speed? I have an older Massey Ferguson 1045 and it appears to have an excellent governor. However, my new JD 3720 either does not have a governor or it's not working. I also had a Kubota L4200 and I'm...

Priced out two new 5' rotary cutters at the JD dealer today -- $1250 for an LX5 and $1250 for Frontier RC1060. Which one is best for the money and is the price good? Thanks for your help. John

I'm looking to purchase the JD 4" wheel spacer kit for my 3720 cab tractor. However, my JD dealer says he cannot find any info for ordering. Does anyone have the info for ordering? Thanks in advance. Regards, John

Just took delivery of new JD 3720 Cab and new 7 Iron 72'' mid-mount mower. According to mower Operator's Manual, the front upstop clearance is to be set to 1/8 inch in raised position by adjusting the two rear yokes. I've adjusted the yokes to where there is only about 1/2 inch of threads...

Looking at purchasing a new 3720 Cab tractor with attachments. I would like to make sure the new tractor has all the latest product improvements. It seems that one of the best ways to ensure this is with serial number. Does anyone know the beginning serial number for the 2007 3720 Cab...

Recently looked at and test drove the B3030 w/cab. Liked everything about it except the noise level in the cab. Would be getting a mmm, snowblower, and FEL. Is it normal for the noise level to be really high in the B3030 cab?? Or, maybe this particular one was very loud (inside cab). Maybe I'm...
