The tires would "scrub" just fine on dirt. make sure you have the maximum air pressure in the tires. Once I started up the hill just around that turn, I ran 300" of 3/8 cable to a snatch block attached to a big poplar tree. I connected one end to the shipping container and the other end...

This is what I use one on the loader and One on the grapple also

I bought the axle hubs from Northern Tool and welded the units up from some 4 inch tubing I had out of the demo scrap pile. Welded gusseted angle iron ears on the top of the tube to bolt to the shipping container oval corner hold downs, used some 1" bolts and nuts and it worked very well. It may...

The next one I no longer had the loader dozer on site and built some axles that bolted to the container corner pockets and winched it up the access road.

This is how I moved one of mine up the mountain from the drop off point at the state road. Loader dozer and 3/8" chains.

I built one also. Harbor freight sells the bare mounting plate or the receiver hitch mount assembly. I set mine up for receiver hitch mounting and self powered with a deep cycle battery mounted to the rig. I also added a "D-ring" to use when double lining. This saved a considerable amount of...

Thought I'd start a new post for the update on the 3rd function install on my L4240. Well I finally got it all installed and it is a much cleaner installation than the factory setup. I found some space underneath the seat for the solenoid valve. Just needed to fabricate a mounting plate for...

You'll need to make some modifications to the HF sandblaster. The bottom tank valve is famous for clogging up. It needs to be replaced with some larger pipe and valve. The POS nozzle valve that comes with the HF sandblaster will need replacement also. I bought a Northern Tool deadman style for...

This is what I ordered for my L4240. I did have to machine a bushing to adapt the JD control handle to the Kubota 13mm loader shaft. The JD handle is nice ergonomic design. You will need to use relays since the handle switches don't have a high amperage capacity. There is another part...

I need some measurements please. Someone with a factory Kubota BH92 hydraulic thumb, could you please measure the hydraulic cylinder for me?? I currently have the mechanical thumb that I wish to convert to hydraulic. So I'll need the cylinder diameter, overall length closed and overall length...

Here's a spread sheet of the parts required to install a true third function. I just installed this on my L4240 for grapple control. All of the mounting plates I custom made. I'll be doing a write up on the installation soon. I tried to order this installed at the dealer but the factory kit...

I was brought to my attention from a fellow Tractor by net member that Northern tool has their hydraulic wrench set on sale for half price. $20.00 for the set. I may buy a second set to keep in the barn. Northern Industrial Tools SAE Angle Wrenches — 14-Pc. Set | Angle Box Wrenches| Northern...

Here's the part numbers. The switch part number shown only has the two switches for the third function. There is another part number for the wiring harness that has the three switches. Not sure what that number is. i know it's quite a bit more expensive.

Like the title says Need a measurement for a L4240 Loader control handle shaft diameter. The measurement needs to be off of a NON third function Kubota. When my L4240 was delivered I forgot to measure the loader control handle shaft diameter. Worst thing, it was on my list of things to do and...

:2cents: You need some SAE to JIC male straight fittings, these are available in long and short, that will allow you to stack lines. SAE 37° Flare (JIC) x O-Ring Boss (ORB) Adapter SAE 37° Flare (JIC) x O-Ring Boss (ORB) Long Then your 45* and 90* fitting will connect to the straight fittings...

I pulled this shipping container 200' up a 20* slope. But I used a 500' cable and a 14k snatch block tied off to a really big poplar tree. I hooked the cable to the shipping container, thru the snatch block and then to the draw bar on the tractor. That way the tractor was going down hill pulling...

Number9 Here's what the T&T would look like on your L3800

This is how I moved my 30 foot travel trailer up the mountain.:D notice the ball hitch bolted to the bucket

Well a gentle first couple of hours hauling some items up and down the mountain. I haven't put stone on my access road yet. So if its rained hard in the last 24 hours you're not driving even a well equipped truck up it. Then a few more hours gently digging a couple of ditches to control some...

Messick's delivered my new L4240 today. Took away the L3800 The L4240 is equipped with open station, HST+, Loader, Quick attach, Back hoe, three rear remotes, T&T, R4s beet filled rears, set of filters, WSM, Parts manual What a difference in machines. Neil Messick was fantastic to work with...

JJ Here's a diagram of the sub plate. I added the comment boxes indicating my understanding how the flow of the valve should be. Is my interpretation correct???????? Thanks for all of your wonderful advice Sir.

Are there any rumors if Kubota will extend the 0% \ 0 down payment \ 60 month financing in July 2013 I've an upgrade on order but it won't be ready and I won't be back in town to take delivery until July. Worse case I could sign the paperwork now.......and take delivery in July, but I'd like to...

JJ I've been studying the parts diagrams for the kubota 3rd function and loader. The best I can determine is the 3rd function comes directly off of the Hydro pump and then feeds the loader valve, loader valve feeds the top cover of the transmission, which feeds both the rear remotes and the...

The Kubota L4240 that i have on order should be ready for delivery in a few weeks. I'm on the fence whether to source the parts myself for the third function or just order the Kubota kit. I'm very comfortable installing either myself. I added four remotes to my L3800. Designed and fabricated...

Excellent build Ted I finally have some time to post some pictures of my grapple that I had for a couple months. Only thing I would ask you to change is to use threaded grease fittings and not the press in type. When I first greased it right off of the crate one of the fittings was loose. I...

I just ordered one for my tractor. Here's all of the part numbers and prices...free shipping. I even ordered all of the screws. It was less that $72.00 Kubota wants $190 for the Grip and switch.

Ordered one of last few l4240s left on the east coast. HST+, Filled R4s, loader, Backhoe with mechanical thumb, Three rear remotes, Top and Tilt. It'll take about three or four weeks before delivery. Trading in my test tractor unless one you folks would like to buy it? L3800 HST, Loader, SSQA...

I am happy to pay 2/3's more for a product if it's made in the USA. Right now I'm shopping for a new shop size air compressor. Without looking for the made in which country tag, I can tell where it's made by looking at the air pump casting quality. The USA made castings are sooooooo much better...

I'm goning to hijack here Here's what I moved last week about a half mile up the mountain. 8 x 20 5000 lb shipping container. I made some axles out of salvaged 3.5 x 3.5 steel tubing and some axle hubs that I bought from Northern Tool. Bolted the axles to the shipping container. I just pulled...

Last time I moved one 8' x 10' we used 6" x 10' PVC pipes, four of them as rollers. Had dad and my daughter in the truck pulling at idle in 4wd low and me and my brother moving the pipe rollers. Just lift up the shed put the pipe rollers under the shed skids spaced a couple feet apart. As you...

Thanks Ted One of those six must be mine!!:licking: And I live so close to Carolina it should only take one day to ship :drink:

Ted I've been checking out your web cams and I don't see too many grapples getting fabbed and painted:D I ordered my 60" Wicked Grapple a week ago and I'm hoping you'll be shipping it next week??;) Order status is processing, What does that mean??

Come on we need to see pictures!!

Come on we need to see pictures!!

I just ordered a root grapple for my Kubota L3800. I've previously installed a four spool valve to run my rear remotes and any other hydraulics that I may add. Unfortunately the tractor is 200 miles away at the mountain property and I can't measure the length of hoses required to plumb the...

Almost done fabricating my subsoiler just need some dimensions for the shank. How thick, wide and long is the main vertical shank on your subsoiler? At what angle is the tooth mounted to the vertical shank? And yes I will post photos when done.

I noticed last night when parking the tractor when either of the turn signals are turned on the opposite turn signal lights up steady... this doesn't seem right to me. Also noticed the brake lights don't work....I assume there are brake lights?? Going to get the operators manual out of the...

Finished up my rear remote and top and tilt install on my new Kubota L3800 this week. The spool valve and hoses are from Surplus center. I went with a four spool Wolverine valve. All of my fittings were purchased from Discount Hydraulic Hose, they're close enough to me that standard ground...

Anyone with a BH77 know what size the hydraulic quick disconnects are....3/8", 1/2" ??

Question for someone with a BH77 or any hydraulics gurus. I want to put two or three rear remotes on my L3400 that I'm waiting on delivery. Once the backhoe is removed in theory I could quick connect the supply and return for the rear remotes to where the backhoe quick connects...does that make...

Since Kubota recommends only changing the hydraulic filters and not the fluid. Can a wet dry vac attached to the hydraulic fill opening and turned on keep from loosing any hydraulic fluid while removing the filters? The tractor is a L3400HST

You could rent one locally for less than it would cost to truck it round trip. The Cat was sweet for all of the tree clearing and moving quite a few car size boulders. I even unbolted one of the teeth off of the bucket, bolted a 18" long receiver on and used the dozier to pull my 30' travel...

I had my 8' x 20' shipping container delivered and of course the tractor trailer couldn't make it up the mountain road to the property so I had to use the Cat 953 loader to carry it up the road. I rigged it from the end and added two chains from the top far corners back to the loader bucket...

Hello New member here. Just ordered my first tractor to use at my mountain property.
