    On site service - Does this exist?

    Do any dealers do on site service (coming to your farm) for smaller tractors? My Kubota L6060HSTC threw a code 20 today and won't start. Every time I call the dealer, they want to haul it into the shop, without even sending someone out. I told them it has the box blade and loader on it at the...

    Mixing river gravel and crushed limestone

    Has anyone ever tried to mix river gravel and crushed limestone? I have a bunch of extra river gravel and I though about using it as a temporary base for a section of road between my house and shed until I can afford some #1 base next year. I was installing culvert (15” ads) and ordered 3/4”...

    Backhoe  Hydraulic circuit for power beyond with third function kit on Grand L60

    Does anyone know how the hydraulic circuit is supposed to be plumbed when using power beyond and third function on a Grand L (L6060HSTC)? My backhoe keeps leaking at the valve block. When I purchased the tractor, the dealer told me over the phone they were working a problem waiting for the...

    Kubota L6060 using Cat2 implement with power beyond

    When using a cat2 implement on my Kubota L6060HSTC, I have found the adjustable lift rod on the right side contacts with the power beyond line. This damaged my power beyond hose last year. I am looking for a way to resolve this so the power beyond hose is not in danger of being contacted by...

    Securing keys for tractors, utility vehicles, gates, etc.

    What do you all to safely secure keys from kids, visitors, or worse vandals? Currently I have a keyring of my tractor, side by side, truck, trailer, various gates, shed, barn, etc. that I carry around with me. It's rather uncomfortable to carry so many keys all the time. I thought about...

    Help! Three point hitch adjusting handle contacts power beyond hose on L6060

    Today I went to use my box blade which has a category 2 three point. When I raised the three point, the metal pieces on the outside of the adjusting handle on three point lifting rod contacted the power beyond hose and put a huge gash in it. Luckily it did not go through the metal in the hose...

    Loader  Protection of third function lines on L60

    So finally got to cutting and about 4 hours in I hit a stump I didn’t see and didn’t hit with the loader. It snagged the third function lines. I knew this was inevitable when I got the tractor. I dumped all the fluid getting back to the barn all up my driveway. Can you all share how you...

    Installing hydraulic coupler dust plug over 1/2" female coupler

    This is an ignorant question, but before I go out and break something this evening... I bought a couple dust plugs at the local ag store last night to keep the snow and dirt out of the third function female couplers on my loader since the tractor didn't come with any. How does one stretch the...

    L6060HSTC Initial Impressions

    My L6060HSTC was delivered this week, and I have about 5 hours on it now. I figured I would give a rundown of my initial impressions and update as time goes on for anyone else considering such a purchase. I don't do YouTube much so I figured I would basically give a text description of my...

    Financing  Do Kubota incentives last through buying process?

    Started dealing with dealer at the end of October this year. Placed a deposit on my tractor and implements Nov 20 (of course after credit ran and approved for financing), and tractor arrived to dealer around Dec 1, and has been in build since. Tractor is not ready yet, and they ran into an...

    Top-N-Tilt Kit with Backhoe on L60

    Why does Kubota say you cannot have the TNT kit with a backhoe on the L60 series? Their configurator allows me to add the valves and lever/kits, but it will not allow the TNT kit to be added with a backhoe. Why is this? Does it have to do with the backhoe subframe getting in the way? I'd...

    Buying Advice  Buying a cab tractor and how dealers react

    Just out of curiosity, for those that have purchased compact cabs lately, how do your dealers react? I have found it difficult to find cab tractors in my area, and when I talk to the dealers about the JD 4R and Kubota L60 series tractors they all tell me they don’t move but a few a year if...

    Draft control tie rod broken - How to replace and exactly what does it do?

    The tie rod on my draft control linkage broke on my New Holland Workmaster 55. I went to use my cutter and raised it but it would not lower. Having accidentally raised the draft control lever before and finally figuring out why I couldn't get my box blade to lower years ago, I pretty much...

    Backhoe investment on New Holland Workmaster 55

    We moved in the last year and I have a need for a backhoe on our new property to take care of some projects. I have been kicking around the idea of getting a 3-point backhoe or subframe mounted backhoe for my WM55, or if I should just trade it in on a new package (which would allow me to...

    Ansung 4505 loader weight

    Anyone know where to find the weight of an Ansung loader? I am trying to figure out the total weight of my equipment (for trailering) and the loader weight is the only thing I am missing. Tractor is a New Holland Workmaster 55 with an Ansung 4505 loader. I can find specs on the loader, which...

    Workmaster 55 Parking Brake

    Has anyone had any issue with the parking brake on the New Holland Workmaster 55? Mine is stuck, thankfully off. When I pull up on the handle to engage the brake, the mechanism with the pawl doesn't move at all. Hence, the parking brake won't set. I thought it may have been frozen, but it is...

    Loader bolts on 390HST with 5140M

    This may help anyone needing to know sizes of bolts connecting loader to the tractor frame. I sheared off two of the bolts where the loader frame connects to the main frame at the front of the tractor. I can't recall those sizes, but they are straight through with nut so an SAE equivalent will...

    PTO Shaft Guard - Where to purchase?

    I purchased a used pole hole auger yesterday. The shaft guard is metal and dented in so it won't telescope in/out. The only thing I can figure is trying to take it off the shaft and beating the heck out of it until I can get it apart, but I still don't think I can ever get it to slide freely...

    Box Blade Scarifier Adjustment

    Does anyone know of a better setup than to use the hitch pins on the main pin to adjust the scarifiers? I have a King blade and the main pin has a small hole through it that the hitch pin goes through. The hitch pins are small and hard to get out of the hole. It seems like there should be a...

    Hydrostat Transmission Shifting to Neutral Downhill

    I have a Farmtrac HST390. Sometimes the hydrostatic transmission shifter (Low, Neutral, Medium, High) actually moves from low to neutral when going downhill. This has happened while in 4WD with my cutter on the back. It has happened with and without the PTO running. It has happened at low...

    Parts for Mitsubishi S4L2

    I have a Farmtrac 390 HST (Long Agribusiness LOT 390 HST) aka LG LT360HT. Anyway, the engine is a Mitsubishi type S4L2-Y162GT. Does anyone know a good supplier of parts for the S4L2? I found a couple good service manuals online but I cannot for the life of me find a parts manual. I have a...
