I've got a 2007 L2800 that recently wouldn't start. It just clicked so I assumed the battery, but turns out it was the starter....couple of whacks with a hammer and it starts working. So, lately, I've had to carry a hammer with me so I don't get stuck out in the pasture. Is there something...

I'm a member of a metal detecting forum and a fellow detectorist posted this in the "whats it" category. Does anyone recognize this? It looked like a part from an old implement or farm equip. so I thought I would bring the photos over here to see if you guys could help ID it.

My L2800 has recently gotten picky about cranking. I usually have to stomp the clutch pedal several times before it will start to turn over. I thought it might be the switch down at the pedal but that seems to be fine. Is there something else that needs adjusting? Has anyone else had this issue?

Post stories or pics if you've ever used your tractor for relic hunting or if you've ever unearthed anything cool while using it. I've always been into metal detecting, bottle digging, relic hunting, etc. The Kubota makes a great digging tool! Some of you may have seen this post a while back...

Last year I decided to fix a broken patio where the slab had cracked in half. I used the backhoe to dig down at the corners, did a little jacking and added some concrete piers. This year I wanted to cap it with some slate that was given to me. My neighbor, who is a landscaper, was asked by a...

This was an ulterior motive for buying my tractor. :p I've always been big on metal detecting, bottle digging, relic hunting etc. On many occasions we were wishing like h*ll we had some machinery to help out. Since I bought the Kubota last April I've been waiting for a site to come up where...

I was thinking of building a boom pole that will hook onto my pallet forks frame... of course I thought I better consult here before beginning. I've got a plan for the mounting but my main questions are concerning the pole itself. I have several pieces of scrap pipe but not sure which is best...

I'm ready to tackle another project with the new L2800 so I'm needing input again before I start. I'm wanting to pour a concrete driveway so I will need to excavate the old gravel and dirt drive down 3-4 inches in some places. Other spots may actually need dirt added to level it. I have...

I have been wanting a set of pallet forks for a while so I decided to convert the L2800's loader to quick attach. After asking questions on here and viewing some pics I decided to tackle it. First, I ordered the Kubota QA mechanism since it was a lot cheaper than other brands and everyone who...

What are these rings for that are welded inside the loader arms? :confused:

I was thinking of converting the loader to the universal quick attach so I could use other skid steer type implements. If I do, what becomes of the original pin on bucket. Are adapters available to convert it to quick attach? I also read threads about attachments coming loose from the quick...

This is the first project on my own place where I got to use the backhoe. Before I even unloaded the new tractor I was doing jobs for other people...and word spreads first that a new tractor is in town! Can't complain though...the tractor easily generates enough income to make its own payments...

A few months ago I noticed that my new L2800 was dripping oil on the shop floor. Depending on which attachment was on it determined how much oil dripped. The dealer said a drop or two was nothing unusual but I should keep an eye on it. It got worse and with the backhoe attached it really drips...

I know I just bugged you guys about the tiller but now I have my first mowing job and had to mount the mower for the first time. It seems to work fine but I wanted you guys to look at the pic and make sure it looked adjusted properly. I dont want to screw anything up. All of the tractors Ive...

I decided to drop the backhoe today so I could mount the new tiller and get the garden ready. After the tiller was on I noticed the turnbuckles on the lower arms rub the tires. It looked like I needed to loosen the pin brackets on the tiller and slide them in...so I did. I took a pic of this...

I wanted to jump in here and say hi...and to warn everyone that I may have a lot of questions about techniques, tips, etc. on using my new tractor. The company I worked for the past 21 years has sold to a foreign entity and that left me without a steady income from a "real job". I have several...
