This is regarding our Kubota L5240 HST, with cab. I am hoping that someone here has had experience with the Boom-Lever that is mounted on the Loader Valve Assembly. I have attached a photo of the issue and an image from the parts manual for reference. The issue is that the lever arm controlled...

I used the 8' Landpride snowplow to clear our ~ 1,300' long, steep, paved asphalt driveway. A few days later, when the driveway was dry, I noticed a long dark mark, which I assumed was hydraulic oil from the Kubota. I found fresh oil at one of the pivot cylinder input ports and assumed, that...

The L5240 has a deep channel for the PTO shaft, running fore and aft, through the engine oil sump forming what seems to be two sumps. There are drain bolts on each side. It appears that the drain bolt on each side must be removed and each side drained. Because of the snow blower mount below...

Kubota GL-5240 HSTC-3 Will not move Help Please - FIXED - THANK YOU! I had tilted the seat up to get stored wrenches and the stationary seat belt half fell under the seat, inhibiting the occupancy switch. THANKS for the tip. Yesterday, I moved the GL-5240 HSTC-3 forward approximately 20...

I screwed-up and would like some advice. I failed to notice that all six studs on the front wheels of our 4WD 5240 had backed out of the hub enough to allow the wheel to drop off of the centering and load-bearing projection on the hub. My oversight caused the wheel to crack and the six holes...

We have a Kubota L5240 with a LA854 front loader and L2276 72" square back bucket that I have stiffened and mounted a grapple. I want to buy pallet forks and am considering buying a 4-in-1 bucket to replace the standard bucket. (I should have ordered a quick-attach with the 5240.) I have a...

I modified the attachment points for the manual strut that came with the Kubota snowblower to add in-the-cab chute elevation control. The cylinder is a Northern Tool 6" x 2" Operation times with Kubota's electric valve are reasonable. There is enough time to set the elevation where it's...

I had not used the rear wiper on a GL5240, and today I needed it to clear snow. The arm seems to be indexed to park the blade off the glass, and the blade catches there, stalling the wiper. I am hoping that removing the arm, turning the wiper on then off to cause it to park, and re-installing...

We have a new Kubota GL5240-3. With purchase, we had the dealer install a 3rd function valve to operate a thumb on the FEL or the elevation deflector on a snowblower. The valve is electrically-actuated by two switches (up & down) on the FEL control stick. The dealer did not have quick...

I am going to buy a quick-change, bolt-on tooth bar for the Kubota L2283 Standard, square-back 72" Bucket on an L5240. There are many manufacturers and I know nothing about tooth bars. Please recommend the type of bar, manufacturer, and supplier that you have liked and warn me off of the...

We are upgrading from a BX23 to an L5240. The tractor will be used on very steep terrain, and I want maximum stability. All the tires are filled with Rim Guard. I see that I can gain another 4" of rear tire-width and the stability that goes with that by moving the rim loops outside the wheel...

Hi, I am going to be upgrading from a BX23 to a larger tractor with cab. I learned from Kubota that the new BH92 backhoe will fit only the -3 versions of the L-series cabbed tractors. I have the opportunity to buy a -2 L5740 HSTC at a good price, and would like to know what would be need to...

I am sure this has been posted, but with my searchng skills I did not find it. I want to grease the U-Joints on the BX2751 "Male Quick Hitch and Subframe" before I mount the BX2750 snowblower. I cannot figure out how to remove the plastic safety shields that cover the joints. Please tell me...

Last year, I could not find a good way to use the BX23 and snow blower on my gravel driveway. Our winter temperature varies, so the driveway does not freeze hard everywhere or all the time. When I floated the blower on its standard skids, they dug into the surface in an unpredictable way, and...

We had a pair of black oak trees growing out of one stump (a fire here about 50 years ago burned down everything and the oaks seem to grow back in rings around the old stumps). One of the trees developed the only mistletoe we've got, and the trees were in a path where we wanted to reroute a...

Has anyone here had experience with road grading attachments like the TerraBond SpreaderGrader or the VersaPro? They seem quite expensive ($1,600) as compared to a box blade, although the expense may be worth it for an inexperienced operator like me. My road and parking areas are mixed-size...

I am considering the Land Pride RTR 2056 tiller for a BX23. I like the Reverse Rotation tilling and the ability to offset 10". It is the smallest Land Pride with reverse tiller rotation (which is reputed to hold the tiller down and handle rocks better.) I don't know if any other brands offer...

I have a base rock driveway that is fairly smooth. We get storms that drop a foot or two of snow. The weather is such that most of the snow melts at our altitude (4000’) between major storms. This keeps the surface of the driveway exposed and fairly soft. I see comments here on TBN that you...

I trailered the BX23 to the dealer to have the quickhitch and snow blower installed. After getting the tractor home, I noticed that the lefthand wedge did not fit above the tractor's frame, as it does on the righthand side. I also noticed lockwashers installed on the T-handled bolt that pulls...
