I moved into a house a few years ago that has a well. There was 1 Big Blue filter on the incoming water, then it leads to a water softener. I seem like I have to change the filter every couple of months once the water pressure goes down. It is a 1 micron filter. I put a second Big Blue filter...

I need to bury a wire in my yard. The run is about 100'. I don't want to make a mess of the yard\lawn. I looked at this video: Bury 1ft of wire 1in deep in 1 minutes without any mess. - YouTube and while this would work, I don't think it is as easy as it looks. I don't know what type of...

I am looking for a way to keep people from turning around in my driveway. This happens all the time. One person actually drove in my lawn to turn around and put ruts in my grass. I put signs up and also put a split rail corner on each side which didn't seem to help. I was going to put a gate up...

I posted a thread about this in another part of the forums. My dealer will be picking up the Kubota at the end of the month, but I want to try one more time to fix it myself. Here is a quick rundown of the issue. I had my forks on the tractor. I was facing downhill with the bucket fully curled...

The house I purchased has vinyl siding. Underneath the vinyl siding is 1" foam board. The top piece is cut lengthwise to fit. It's about 6" wide. Whoever did the siding job, did not user double undersill trim at the top and just used J channel. He used liquid nails to hold the last piece in...

One of my main tubes for my hydraulics burst today. It is 1 of the 4 tubes that run across the fel. It's either number 40 or number 50 on the parts blowup. If you look at them on the actual tractor, they look identical, but the 2 lines have different part numbers, so they are no the same. The...

I have a Thomas Skid Steer that I inherited from my Dad. It's a T133. I need to add hydraulic fluid and the manual is saying to use 10W30 motor. Is that really a thing? I never knew motor oil would work for a hydraulic system. I'm used to using UDT or plain Hydraulic fluid. I want to check prior...

I built an addition and need to have the plumbing pressure tested. I need to fill the vent stack with water and the city needs to verify there are no leaks. I have the shower stall installed since I had to get it in there before putting the walls up. I had to use an offset drain for the shower...

My seat spins side to side on my B2650. It doesn't move a lot, but enough when you are riding it that it is irritating. Is there a way to tighten it down? I looked and all I see that holds it is a hook in the rear.

I have a Thomas T133s Skid. Since it got cold out, it is hard to start. On this model, you turn the key to the left, you hear a click and the glow plug light turns on. After 4 or 10 seconds, the light goes out and you turn the key to start it. The light no longer turns on and there is no click...

I bought this house last year. It had a septic tank with a leach field. Years ago, city sewage was installed uphill, so the pump that pumped to the leach field now pumps to the city drain. We had some bad rains from the last hurricane, I live in pa, and during this time, I flushed the basement...

I am putting an addition on and ran into an issue with the front valley. If you look at the picture, the valley from the new roof to the old roof doesn't end at the corner of both roofs. It's hard to explain. What I need to do is extend the overhang for the 2 roofs to meet level, but the...

I am building an addition on my house. The current roof trusses run from front to back and are a 4/12 pitch. The addition is on the right side of the house. The trusses run from left to right. They are also a 4/12 pitch. Not thinking beforehand, the peak of the new trusses for the addition is...

I need to replace my MIG welder I sold when I moved. It was a Millermatic 200. I don't want to spend allot of money, but want something to do the job right. This is for home use and I will be welding heavier metal only, between 3/16" to 1/4". This would be for tractor repairs. I need to weld...

I am going to be inheriting a Thomas T133 s Skid steer. The quick attach bucket has a single handle. Is there a conversion that would convert it to a regular skid steer QA without removing the factory QA?

I purchased a house last year. It has a septic tank with a sewage ejector pump. It once was a septic tank with a leach field, but city sewage was put in up the at the top of the property, so now the tank is pumped into the city sewage instead of the leach field. The city sewer is uphill, so it...

I am building a 20' x 36' addition to our house. The bottom will be a garage and the first floor will be a living space. I am using floor joist trusses for the floor joist so I don't have to use a beam. The floor truss's will run perpendicular to the existing house. I need a way to support the...

I have limited space in my furnace room to install a whole house humidifier. If you look at the picture, the duct on the left is the cold air return and the supply plenum is on the right. If I install a bypass humidifier, I need to install the unit on the cold air return, but will have trouble...

The door is an insulate steel door. It is 7' x 16'. I purchased the door with a low headroom kit with the dual tracks. If you look at the pictures, the top panel with the windows bows down on the ends if that makes sense. When the door goes back down, it fits back in, but it looks like that...

I had to replace my coupler on my utility trailer. I ordered it from Etrailer. It is a bolt on. 3 bolts go on each side. The angle on the trailer was not long enough to catch the front bolt, so I installed it on top. If you look closely in the picture, you can see through the front hole. I...

I'm clearing out some of the woods on my property. Once I clear out all the trees and weeds, I want to plant grass. The dirt is extremely sandy. I thought about renting a wood chipper and chip up all the branches and mix it in the sandy soil to give it some substance and let it ferment over the...

I am waiting for the gas company to connect my gas line up. When I moved into the house, it had all electric appliances since there was no gas ran to the house. I ran the main gas line from the house to the road, got it inspected and am waiting for the gas company to hook me up. It will take...

I installed a 50 amp sub panel in a garage and ran #6 aluminum wire to main breaker box to find out that I am out of openings on the ground/neutral bar. This is an older Murray box and only has 1 bus bar for both neutral and ground. What I was going to do was double tap one of the existing...

I just got my new B2650. I was clearing out the side yard of weeds and little trees. There were some really small stumps sticking up about a foot or so. They were maybe an inch or so wide. I backed up over them and heard a noise. I didn't think much of it at the time, but I could smell...

I am waiting for my B2650 to get delivered this Wednesday. I will have to fold the ROPS down in order to get it in my garage. Does anyone have any ideas on how to modify the ROPS where it folds to make it easier to raise and lower? I know from previous Kubota's, you had to unscrew the ROP bolts...

I am going to be installing new LED shoplights in my garage. I am going to tap off a 20 amp plug circuit. Since these are for lights only, can I run 14/2 wire for the lights? Nothing else will be in the branch other than these LED shoplights.

I ordered a new B2650 with a fel and bh from Barlows on July 18th. Brady said that there will be a 5 week lead time. :( I'm ready for it now. I hate waiting. I guess the B2650 was a popular model this year. Even my local dealer told me the same thing. I just hate the wait...... Hopefully it will...

I just closed on a new house a few weeks ago. The back porch does not have any lights. I can tap off a junction box in the attic, but am trying to figure a way to run the wires. The house is vinyl dutch lap siding. Underneath the siding is foam board then the 2x4 structure. I thought about...

I'm looking for a tractor/FEL/BH and the B series should fit me well. I'll be digging for level off for a new semi above ground pull, putting an edition on my house so I need to dig into the hill for a foundation and some trenching for drains, etc. Other than that, I will be using the tractor...

Where I live now, I did allot of work on my land and had a L4060 w/fel and bh that I just sold last week. I was sad to see it go, but since we are moving, I no longer needed it. We are moving to a house that won't really need allot of work done, so I thought about buying a new BX 23s. I had a...

I have a neighbor with 4 dogs that bark like crazy when I am outside. The neighbor has them fenced in with a wire fence along the property line, but when I am outside, they run up to the fence bark non stop. I've talked to the neighbor about this multiple times with no resolve. The last time I...

With the snow on it's way, I want to be ready to plow the driveway. I usually just use the FEL, I don't want to spend the money on a grader blade since it will not get used much. I was trying to think of a way to convert my landscape rake into a grader blade for the winter. I don't want anything...

When using my forks, sometimes I have to stand up to see where the tip of the forks are so I can guide them into whatever I am picking up. If I stand up to adjust the height of the FEL then hit the pedal to more forward or backwards, the engine stalls since I am not sitting on the seat. I would...

I have a storm drain at the end of my driveway that leads out to the storm drain out at the road. I would say from the drain on my driveway to the one at the road, the distance is about 30'. The drain of what I can see is half full of clay type mud. I reached in as far as I could to clean out...

I bought a set of quick attach pallet forks from Titan attachments and sometimes the forks will disconnect from the quick attach. I'll have to open the 2 quick attach release arms and let the forks fall back in then rearm the quick release arms. Does anyone else have this issue and is there a...

I did my 50 hour maintenance on my L4060. The one thing that it called for was to change the HST fluid filter. The book said that fluid would leak out, but wow, I lost a good gallon or so. Does that sound right? It was very difficult to get the old one off and the new one on since my BH Subframe...

I was just about to purchase some quick attach forks when I got these used forks from work from a fork lift. I need some idea or pictures of people that built their own forks. I don't have any metal, so I would have to buy some along with a quick attach plate.

I have allot of ice on my driveway, so I put my boxblade on and put the scarfiers down. I had the BB adjust so it was level with the ground and the scarfiers would rip up the ice. After doing a little ripping, I noticed the BB was angled a pretty good bit. I looked at the top link of the 3 point...

On my L4060, the steering wheel cap will pop out every once in a while. I can pop it back in, but it never seems like it goes the whole way in. I'm going to lose it one of these days. Anyone have this issue with the newer grand l's?

Wasn't sure what was going on. I was pushing over a tree and I could smell something. It smelled like the anti freeze and overheating. I started to head back to the garage and noticed a light was on. It looked like a windshield washer light telling me the windshield fluid was low even though I...

Does anyone who built a dolly for a larger BH have any pictures to post? I need to build one for mine. I noticed in BH dollies for BX's looks like when you pull the top pins and tilt the BH back, it raises the BH off the bottom hooks without using the outriggers to have to lift it off the hooks...

I'm trying to get some idea's on building some kind of wind and snow protection when I am plowing snow. Nothing too involved. I thought about hanging something from the canopy on each side like clear plastic or something but that would just blow around. There has to be some way of doing this...

I'm looking into installing a third function remote on my L4060. I have allot of information on this from other post, but need to get a better idea how I would do this and how it would work. To do this, I would need to tap into my FEL control valve. That is where I get a little lost on which...

Someone on Craiglist has a new 72" plow blade for an ATV. I was going to fabricate for my tractor, but is an ATV plow too light weight to use to plow snow using my tractor? It a Warn 79958 Plow blade kit. Here is a link to the plow blade selling on Amazon. Amazon.com: WARN 79958 ProVantage 72"...

I have a BH and FEL on my tractor. To pull roots and all out from a tree, I want to leave about 12' of the trunk, tie a chain to the top of the trunk and use the height of the tree for leverage to pull roots and all out. What is a good place to attach the chain to the tractor? I don't want to...

When you pull a tree down or whatever using a chain, what part of the tractor do you attach to? I have a backhoe on mine, so there is really nowhere to pull from and I don't want to attach the chain to the backhoe bucket. Same with the front, I have a FEL and don't want to hook there chain there...

I cannot find a way to change my speedometer from Kilometers to Miles Per Hour. I read the manual twice and I also went through the screen on the tractor a few times. Anyone know how to do it?

I'm going to buy a 30 gallon drum tank for fuel storage for my tractor. What I am going to is put it in the truck and take it over the gas station to fill it up. When I bring it back home, I'll need to use my FEL to unload it. What could I put on the tank to be able to grab it with a chain...

I like the way it locks in the back of the bucket. This could easily be made. Wide Receiver Hitch - Recreational Use - YouTube WELCOME

How hard would it be to make a SSQA mounting plate? Is there any online plans on the dimensions? Is it fairly simple to make? How thick of metal should I use?

On the pictures, I have circled 3 places to weld hooks too. Does this area seem to be a good location. I have attached 2 pictures. Which one would be the best location?

I have a Kubota Canopy and am trying to think of a good way to add a storage shelf for gloves and stuff like that and looking for some good ideas. I can rig something up between the support bars somehow but want to know if anyone else have done this.

I just purchased the L4060 with the canopy and canopy lights and the lights are terrible. They do hardly anything to light anything up at night. I am going to replace them with LED work lights. A few members here seem to like the Tuff LED, so I ordered a set of those from Amazon. I hope they are...

Marvin just dropped off the L4060 and wow is it impressive. I can't believe how much larger it is than my L3800. I haven't drove it yet, but it is somewhat intimidating just sitting on it. I'm going out to play now. :)

Barlows will be delivering the new L4060 Tomorrow. Steve called and said that they can deliver it tomorrow and it will be here around 4. Can you FREAKING EXCITED!!! :cool2: I'll post pictures when it gets here. I asked Steve if he knew John Thomas and he chuckled. He said he knew him very well...

I'm looking at buying a box blade. The one that Tractor supply seems pretty heavy duty. I'm looking at the 72" one. Anyone have experience with them?

Since my tractor has a BH, when I take the BH off, I have the 2 hydraulic lines on the rear of the tractor. Couldn't I somehow use those lines to hook up a hydraulic top link when I don't have the BH attached? Is this a stupid question? :confused2: This way I would avoid the added expense of...

I have a new tractor on order and am trying to figure out what I would need from the Kubota website if I wanted to add a third function remote for the FEL and it is somewhat confusing to me. I am hoping someone can help me understand this. On the website I see the option for the Third Function...

I am waiting to take delivery on a new tractor and trading in my current one. I was working with the BH yesterday and saw one of my BH outrigger lines start to leak. :( It has a pin hole in it. I will be trading in my current tractor next week and this has to happen. Not a big deal, but I need...

I have a KK landscape rake and I noticed that you can turn 180 degrees. What would be the purpose of doing that?

I'm in the process of purchasing a L4060 with a quick connect FEL. Does the quick connect work on skid skid buckets? If I had a skid steer bucket would my QQ be able to mount it?

This was a great little machine and served me well. It was small but deadly.

When looking to buy my L4060 with TLB, I looked at the B26 online. It's got a pretty strong FEL and BH for it's size. The TLB is pretty comparable to the TLB addon for the L4060, but the HP is allot lower along with the weight of the machine. The B26 weighs about 4000 lbs with everything on it...

Ok all, before I make the final decision, I would like some input. I like the 4060 since it is a little stronger machine, but I am pushing it on price and what I feel comfortable with as a payment. I can afford the 3560 but I worry about the power compared to the 4060. I will be getting the...

The L3560 Implement pump output is 8.1 GPM and the 4060 is 9.4 GPM. Will the higher GPM have an effect on speed of moving the backhoe? I know my current BH77 just seems slow moving it side to side. Slow to me anyhow.

For the L60 series, they have a few different types of buckets you can get. I'm looking at the 72" bucket. They have light material, square back and heavy duty round. What is the difference between the square back and the heavy duty round? Is the heavy duty one that much more rigid and does the...

I talked to Steve at Barlows and he gave me what I think is an excellent price compared to what my local dealer was going to give me. Trade wise he is a little low, but he is giving me a great price on the machine. .

I am looking into trading in my L3800 HST, FEL and BH for a L3560 FEL and BH. The reasons for this trade is I want a stronger FEL and BH, which I would get and I like the HST+ option on the L. My concern is going with the lower end Grand Series. Am I going to gain much moving from the L3800 as...

I just got a call from my dealer. They are going to give me $17,200 trade in on my L3800HST with loader, BH77, mechanical thumb and toothbar with 585 hours on it. Does that seem low? I'm looking to trade in on a Grand L. He mentioned going to the L4600 if they are still available, but I like...

I'm looking into possibly purchasing a Grand L60 Tractor with a FEL and BH. Is it possible to use Skid Steer attachments a like a rock hound on a Kubota? If so, what add on from the Kubota website would I need?

I have a 2011 L3800 with a BH77. I has almost 600 hours on it. I am thinking about trading it in on a L60 Grand, 4760. I'm trying to get an idea on what trade in value would be. The reason I am moving up is that I want a stronger FEL and BH. The Grand has the option for the BH92. Also, what...

I was working with my L3800 and it just slowed down and shut off. If I try to start it, it stars but will only stay running for a few seconds. I pulled the fuel filter out and cleaned it, put it back on but it still will not start. The fuel gauge read 1/4 full, but I put another 5 gallons in...

I have a 2x12 beam about 38' long that supports my decks roof. It's make from outdoor wood. I want to cover the beam and paint it. The beam is projected from the weather since it is under the roof.

I built an addition on my house. It is 24' x 32'. I dug the foundation out, poured the footer and laid the block. I have the addition all framed in, all the gutters installed which drain through PVC pipe that goes to the street. I put an exterior french drain around the perimeter, backfilled and...

I am doing 400 hour maintenance on my L3800 HST. I drained all of the SUDT, replaced both filters. I bought a 5 gallon and a 2.5 gallon container of SUDT fluid. I put the 5 gallons in and then started to put another 1.2 gallons in. According to the manual, it takes 6.2 gallons. I cannot see the...

I am looking for a smaller bucket for a friends excavator. It's a Bobcat brand. Bobcat dealer wants a little over $700 for a 16" bucket with teeth. Is there a good aftermarket place that may have something a little cheaper but durable?

Does anyone get smoke stains on their FEL from the exhaust? I noticed the left side of my FEL arm close to the exhaust has black smoke stains. Is this normal? I also noticed that I am low on SUDT. This is the second time I had to top it off with a good quart or so to get the site glass to the...

I am thinking about purchasing a new Kubota. I bought a L3800 with FL and BH last year which works really well, but I need something with a stronger BH and FL without breaking the bank. I originally thought about the Grand L, but the dealer recommended going with either the L4600, then after...

I'm at work and need to stop at the local Kubota dealer for my 200 hour maint. supplies for my L3800 HST. I don't have my book with me but want to get the items that I need on my way home from work. I know I need an oil filter, trans filter, hydro filter. What I don't know is how much Super UDT...

I have a few questions on adding on to my existing concrete block garage. The current garage is 19' x 40' x 8' tall. I am going to add onto the left side of it which is the 40' side. I am going to be using 8" concrete block to build the walls and the addition size will be 25' x 40' x 8' tall...

Sometimes when I go to start my tractor, I turn the key and nothing happens. If I move the HST pedal around, it will start. Is there an adjustment for this. Some of the time is starts without moving the pedal. It is like the sensitivity is too sensitive? What also happens is sometime when I...

I had 2 flat tooth bars from Iowa farms that I had trouble with the teeth breaking off, so I ordered a regular one from Gator. Gator called me today and said that they are out of teeth and won't have any until August, so I canceled my order. I am a little hesitant on buying a regular tooth bar...

I posted over weekend about losing some hydro fluid due to a fitting coming lose. I didn't have any spare hydro fluid to bring the level up but when I looked at the site glass, it looked like the hydro oil level was just on the low side so I decided to run the tractor. I couldn't get any oil...

I bought a WR Long flat toothbar and the first bar they sent me which I purchased from Iowa Farms, 2 teeth broke off at the weld. I found 1 tooth but the other one is lost. This was only using it for a few weeks. Iowa Farms got in touch with WR Long and they sent me a replacement at no charge to...

One of my hydraulic lines got lose and I lost some fluid. I don't have any super udt left and the dealer is closed. What else could I use to top of the hydraulic fluid that would work? I have a tractor supply close to me if that helps. I probably only lost a quart, possibly a gallon.

I did my 50 hour maintenance at around 53 hours. Changed the oil/filter, etc. I have put about 5 hours on the machine since then and last night the oil light came on out of the blue when I was using it, so I shut the machine down and checked the oil. The dipstick said it was full. Turned the...

I need to do my 50 our maintenance on my L3800 and had a few questions. My tractor has both a HST oil filter and a Hydraulic oil filter. Why, I'm not sure since both the HST and Hydraulics use the same fluid that is in the tractor, correct? For the 50 hour maintenance, I have to change both...

I have a L3800 with a BH77. I took the BH off about 2 weeks ago. I went to put it back on the other day and could not get either of the hydraulic lines connected back on the quick coupler. I moved all of the levers in every direction on the BH and the FEL and 3 point just to be sure. The tractor...

Here is where I am at. I cleared a good area of my property that had allot of large pine trees in them. I pulled them down, roots and all. I scraped the current yards topsoil last year and put it in a pile, so I am down to raw dirt. The area I am working with is roughly 50' x 100' and I will be...

I went to start my L3800, click on the glow plug then turn the key to the right, I hear the click but it won't turn over. Clutch is in, I even put it in neutral which I never have to, checked the rear PTO to make sure it was off. What am I missing?

I posted earlier about my Iowa Farms flat toothbar and how much I liked it. I do like, but I lost 2 teeth over the weekend. They broke off at the welds. I emailed Iowa Farms about this and am waiting to hear back. Not real happy about this. I found one of the teeth, but the other one is MIA. If...

I've been using my FEL allot the past few days and am really glad I went with the flat toothbar. It digs good and having the option to back drag flat makes it really nice. I've had some PM's about the toothbar and I contacted Iowa Farms direct, I didn't go through eBay. I believe that they are...

I have a L3800 with maybe 10 hours on it. I as working the the hoe yesterday and all of the sudden it started making like a squeaking noise when I would move the hoe from side to side. If I would move it to one side and let go of the lever, the hoe would stop and shake from the stop and that is...

I have a concrete run off tank buried in the ground. The tank I would say is about 10" deep. The top of the tanks is square, about 6' x 6' and is level with the landscape. There is a lid to open the tank on the top that is about 16" x 16". Over the years, dirt settled in the bottom of the tank...

I bought a King Kutter tiller and the cover that goes over the PTO shaft on the tiller end is off. I have the white plastic clip that goes over the shaft that holds the cover on, but I need to take the cover apart. You can see that it comes apart into 2 pieces, but I cannot figure out how to do...

I posted on CL looking for a used 60" Box Blade and Landscape rake. A guy answered my add and had both. King Kutter Brand. He gave me both for $375. They are in great shape. I'm pretty happy with the deal. I've gotten lucky the past few times advertising on CL.

Iowa Farms was great to deal with. I got the flat toothbar. It came within few days. It's built nice. Not the best pictures, I got it dirty already. :D

I have garage project that I am going to be working on this summer. I was going to build a block garage, but after buying a metal carport this winter and seeing how heavy duty they are made, I started looking into possibly getting a metal garage. They look nice and from the site you buy it from...

I posted on CL looking for a used rear 60" blade. Picked this one up for $40. I wish I had before pictures. The 3 point was pretty bent up and broke off in 2 places and the person who tried to fix it shouldn't be aloud to have a welder in his hands. :mad: I'll give the guy an "E" for effort...

We got hit with a pretty good snow storm last night. He is a couple of pics. Not the best pics.... My Kubota was covered with snow.

Picked this up over the weekend. 60" King Kutter II Tiller. Posted a want ad on CL and the guy called me up. I got if $950. I connected it up on Sunday and it works great. The PTO shaft fit which was good. It was cut to length, but the right size for my tractor. The fluid levels were good and...

Had a little fun this weekend. I dug out a big pine tree with the hoe, knocked it over roots and all and carried it off in two pieces with the thumb. I never realized how useful a thumb can be.

The weather's been nice the past few days, so I had my new L3800 out yesterday to play around with it since I haven't had a real chance to use it since I bought it. I started digging out one of the many large pine trees that I want to remove, so I was using the BH77 hoe for the first time. The...

I called Iowa Farm to get a price on a tooth bar for my L3800. The inside measurement of my fel is 57 3/4". I asked how many teeth would be on the tooth bar and they said 6. The tooth bar from my BX22 had 6 and it was about a foot smaller. Does that sound right? This would space the teeth at...

I am looking for something to grade my limestone driveway and was looking at a land grader. I think this would work well. Has anyone built one? It looks pretty basic to build, just trying to get some ideas. The blades look like they are curved, not sure if this is just the way the pics look or...

What does everyone use to cut heavier steel like 1/4" - 1/2"? I'm looking for something that would leave a clean cut.

I found a used King Kutter II 60" tiller for sale. The guy wants $950 for it. It has been garaged kept and from I could see looks like it is in great condition. I can't really try it out to see how it works, so is there anything I should be looking for? It looks cosmetically in great shape. I...

The L3800 showed up about 10 am today. Here are the pics. Bye bye BX22. It's been fun. You were a good machine. :(

I posted this in the wrong forum, so sorry for the double post. I just got a call from dealer and the L3800 with FEL, BH and thumb is ready for delivery. I am going to go up after work and sign the papers and go over the machine. He is going to check to see if they can deliver it tomorrow. I...

I noticed on the L3800 HST tractor that there is a pedal on the left side of the floor of the tractor. It looks like a clutch pedal. What exactly is this for? Is it on all of the newer Kubota tractors? What I was told that it disengages all the PTO functions and the drive function. I don't have...

I have a gravel driveway and in the summer on the sides of the driveway where you don't run over all of the time, the weeds and grass will grow in the gravel. Would running over the area with a box blade dig up the weeds then spread the gravel back down?

I went up to my local dealer to look at several machines and decided on the L3800. It was a choice between the L3800, L3700 and the B3030. I went with the L3800 due to size, HP and I liked the new design as compared to the L3700. The axle size between the L and the B was pretty substantial. The...

I'll try to explain this the best I can. After you dump with the FEL, when you pull the lever to bring the bucket back in position, (undumped position) is there an option to have the hydraulics stop by itself when it is fully back up? Does that make sense? After I dump the load from the FEL, I...

I am going up this weekend to my dealer to make a deal on a new tractor. After doing allot of research reading, I have settled in my mind on the L3800. As I was reading through this forum, I did some reading on the B3030. It seems pretty comparable in features and price. I guess I am trying to...

I have another post about buyig a new machine. Here is where I am at. L3800 with BH FEL and R4 tires for $26,525 plus tax and free delivery. To get the 60 months 0% on this particular model, I have to pay an extra 3% on the cost of the machine. That's about another $650 added on after I put a...

How to I find out the year of my BX22?

I currently have a BX22 that I really like, but I need something with more power, larger in size with better force with the BH and the FEL. Since the finance rates are really good now through Kubota, I am leaning towards buying new. I called my local dealer to get a price on a B26 TLB. The...

I have noticed lately that when using the BH, the outriggers will not stay down, I have to keep pushing them down every so often. I also noticed that when the tractor is parked, the outriggers will slowly start going down, not real far, but they do move. The BH boom will also start going down...

I am working on getting my turn signal/flashers working on a BX22. They haven't worked since I bought it. When I turn the turn signal on, I can hear the flasher clicking like it should, but no lights. I pulled the bulbs and 3 out of 4 are bad. I hooked a volt meter and also test light to the...

Any tricks to getting the steering wheel removed on a BX22? I removed the cover, took of the nut, but can't get the steering wheel to budge. I have it soaking in PB blaster right now. Am I missing something? I can't find a way to use a puller since the steering wheel is pretty much plastic.

I talked to a someone about the lift capacity of my BX22. I was told that the BX22 was set on the low side of the pressure specs. I have ordered a high pressure gauge and shims from Kubota and am waiting for them to come in. I was told that I would hook the gauge up to the high pressure port...

I have noticed lately that when using the BH, (BX22) the outriggers start to let up and I have to push them down again. It happens quite often. Also, when the bh is all pulled in, the bh and bucket and boom will start to droop as I am using the tractor. This happens allot and I have to pull in...

I have noticed lately that when I am using the BH or the FEL, when the tractor is cool or has not been running a long time, everything sounds good. After I've been working the tractor for awhile, the hydraulics whine or honk when at the full extended or retracted position. It seems to be louder...

I have a BX22 and one of my hydraulic lines have a slow leak. I am going to replace it soon, but in the mean time I need to add hydraulic fluid to it to keep the level where it should be. Do I have to use Kubota Hydraulic fluid or can I use any brand? I would get it from Kubota, but the nearest...

I ordered a set of keys from Colemans for my BX22. when I got them, they look like blanks. The key part is flat a little longer than my original. Do I have to get them cut? I was under the impression that all Kubota keys were the same so I thought they would come already cut.

I have a BX22 that I am having issue's with. The front left axle is leaking gear lube. What would cause this? Do I just need to replace a seal or is there a reason that would cause the current seal to start leaking? Is the seal very hard to change? I ordered a shop manual and am waiting for it...
