    Is anyone interested in swapping F series mower decks? My 72" RD for your 72" SD?

    I'm just throwing this out there since I've never liked the rear discharge deck. I have an F3080 that I've had since new in 2015 which currently has 300 engine hours. I also use this for snow removal and other tasks so I'm estimating hours on the mower deck to be around 200, give or take. The...

    Chains  Need help deciding on studded or non-studded tire chains

    I have a Kubota L5740 with R4 tires that I use for clearing snow on a 400' long gravel drive and hauling firewood out of the woods in the winter, and I've come to the conclusion that I should get some chains for better winter traction. I generally don't have any issues when clearing the...

    L5740 Front Tires Upgraded to Fix Lag Ratio

    I've been researching tire sizes over the years trying to find a front R4 tire to fix the front to rear lag ratio present on this model (and several others) as they come from the factory with the 10-16.5 front and 17.5L-24 R4 tires. There is a -.43% lag condition with the factory R4's, which is...

    F Series Snow Plow

    Does anyone have any pics of how the snow plow mounts on the F series? I have an F3080 and I'm currently using a homemade snow pusher mounted to the lift arms, but I have a used snow plow that I'd like to use instead, and I think it really should be mounted back to the frame or axle, and just...

    L5740 HSTC Hydraulic Plumbing for Backhoe Connection

    Good morning, I'm looking for advice from anyone who has a backhoe mounted to their L5740 cab tractor. I have the third function on the loader and one rear remote, installed by the dealer. I spent last evening looking things over, and it looks like the hydraulic pressure comes off the pump at...

    Is the F3680 still a current model?

    Thinking of buying a new mower now that my tractor is close to being paid off. I see on the Kubota website the Fxx80 models are still listed, along with the newer 90 series. I'm not really interested in an F3990, which costs nearly $5k more, and is 4 cyl vs 3, which probably burns more fuel...

    EGR delete on new turbo Kubota?

    Has anyone done an EGR delete on a L5240/L5740? I can't seem to find any information on this. It seems like it would be pretty simple, just a plate to block off the exhaust from going into the EGR cooler. There are kits available for all the newer diesel pickups and Volkswagen TDI's. Blowing...

    New L5740 HSTC

    I know this is a little late, since I actually took delivery of my new tractor back on the 5th, but I thought I'd share some pictures. I ended up getting the L5740 HSTC with the LA854 loader, QA bucket, third function valve on loader, R4 tires (rears loaded), one rear remote (probably more in...

    Larger R4's on L5740

    I have a new L5740 on the way and I am planning on running 12-16.5 R4 tires on the front. To keep the correct drive ratio, I will need to run either 16.9-24 or 19.5L-24's on the rear. I'd like to get the whole wheel/ire combo from Kubota and swap out my stock wheels/tires at the dealer. I...

    FEL plow size L5740

    Well, I went from looking at used equipment to purchasing a new machine. I couldn't pass up Kubota's 0% 5 year financing and full warranty, so I ordered a new L5740 HSTC to replace my L3710. I will post pics when I get her home. I've found a used 8' Fisher plow pretty cheap that I'm looking...

    Swapping R1's for R4's L5740

    I was looking at a used L5030 to purchase but have since found a lightly used L5740 for sale in my area. The only drawback is the 5740 has R1 tires, which I'm not really fond of. I'm selling my L3710 with R4's to my brother, and he would rather have R1's. These two tractors take the same size...

    L5030 Price/Opinions

    I currently have an L3710 HST and could use a little more hp and a cab. I was going to put an aftermarket cab on it and have decided to look into upgrading to a higher hp model with cab. I have a 7' Lorenz 3 pt blower and a 400' driveway, which drifts really bad. I also mow about 5 acres of...

    Swapping Laurin cab from L3300 to L3710

    I'm looking at purchasing a used Laurin cab off a 1998 L3300 to go on my L3710 HST. I contacted Laurin Cabs directly, and they would not tell me if it would physically fit my tractor, saying that because the cab is ROPS certified, they could only recommend putting it on the model it was...
