I'm looking for a 10" or 12" bucket for my L48 backhoe. I currently have a 24" bucket. Where's the best place to buy one? I guess shipping can be expensive for something this big and bulky. Anyone have a used one they want to sell me? I also read about quick disconnect buckets. Mine pins on...

I have a 261 with a 4 cylinder perkins. It idles normal with a slight lope when started cold, but after it's at operating temperature, it idles high (1,200 RPM or so). Also when I pull the shut off cable it takes 10 to 15 seconds to finally wind down. It does not smoke at all. It doesn't show...

I just bought a used 04 L48. I've already read several threads about how the 3 ranges are not geared ideal on the L48 and I agree there's too much gap between Medium and High range. However I find going forwards in Medium range about twice as fast as going backwards. Now that I think about, all...

I recently bought an Kubota L48 TLB. I'm adding skid steer compatible quick disconnects to it and a 3rd spool option for the loader. I'm going to be getting a new bucket, pallet forks and a grapple of some kind. I plan on using the grapple for some brush clean up as I clean fence rows out. I...

I just purchased an 04 Kubota L48. The bucket does not have any quick disconnects, it is "bolted" to the hinge pins. I would like a skid steer compatible quick disconnect for this machine for pallet forks, hay speers, etc. I believe this is an option when ordering new ones. Is this an item I...

I've been shopping for a new tractor. One of the tractors I'm considering is the Kioti DK65S ROPS model. It seems like a nice tractor and the couple I drove ran well. I'm a bit confused about the loaders though. I have talked to 4 different Kioti dealers so far. The 2 closest dealers to me put...

I'm looking at a Volvo MC110 skid steer. I'm replacing a New Holland LX865 skid steer. Spec wise it seems to be as big/strong or bigger then the LX865. The MC110 I'm looking at has about 700 hours on it. I'm not real familiar with the Volvo line of skid steers and how good they are. You don't...

I have a 60 acre mini ranch and raise cattle and goats. I move and feed round bales, do field work (discing, mowing, manure spreading), barn cleaning, occasional dirt work, drive grading, etc. I took a day off and went to every dealer I could find in a 60 mile radius yesterday. Out of...

I sold my New Holland LX865 skid steer and would like to replace it with a loader with similiar capacity. I like the skid steer very much, but it tears the ground up everywhere I go, so I was thinking about a wheel loader or tractor of some kind. In my quest to find a new loader, I started...

OK, while doing the 200 hour valve adjustment on my 4540, I had the muffler off to gain access to the valve cover and noticed a sticker/plate on the valve cover. It has all the engine info on it, such as EPA #, Model #, Rated HP, Valve lash, etc. Something that caught my attention is the sticker...

Hello Mahindra owners, dealers, and everyone else. I'm a Montana owner, currently have a Montana 4540. It's a great little tractor, but it's too small for me (operators station) and too small for a couple jobs I find myself wanting to do with it (pulling big mower 10' or so, running a round...

So, I see Montana has ZTR mowers on their website. There's several different models listed. I've been considering getting a ZTR type mower. Right now I use a Montana 4540 with Howse 6' finishing mower. I must say it's about as fine as tractor mowing rig as you will get, but it's no ZTR. Anyway...

Does ALL Montana loaders have quick disconnects for the bucket or did some of the earlier ones not? The reason I ask is I've seen pictures of a 4940C that seems to have the pivot pins fastened directly through the bucket. The loader was the old style and has a pivot arm that is in front of the...

Well at a ripe young age of 178 hours my Montana 4540's tach quit working. I did some investigating and the tach cable broke about 4 inches from the end connected to the engine. Not a big deal, but with on 178 hours???? Maybe I got a lemon. I'll call Montana Monday and have them send me a...

My Montana 4540 is at 170 hours. The engine has been smooth, quite and what I would consider perfect running. In the last couple of months I have noticed some very light ticking coming from the engine until it warms up. No big deal, I thought. Then I noticed while digging today that the engine...

I have a Montana 4540 with about 100 hours on it. Mostly easy work around the homestead. I had mentioned before that the exhaust shooting out the side of the tractor caused the right FEL cylinder to turn black and look ugly. No big deal, I didn't buy the tractor to look pretty. But now I believe...

I'm performing the 50 hour fluid change on my tractor. The manual says change the oil, front diff, transmission/hydraulic, and read diff fluids. That's a lot of fluid (10 gallons or so). Anyway, the manual isn't real clear on the type of fluid to use. They specify some LG specific brand that of...

New Finish Mower needed, need everyone\'s opinions I sold my Rhino 40hp tractor and along with it went my 72" King Kutter finishing mower. I mow about 2.5 acres and need to find me a new mower. I have a new LG Montana 4540 (45 hp) tractor, so I think I can run any of the finishing mowers...

Why doesn't most compact tractors have a self leveling FEL? I have a Montana 4540 and it doesn't have a self leveling bucket, so as I lift something (or lower it) I have to make constant adjustments to the bucket to keep it level. This is especially noticeable when using my pallet forks or...

I have an LG Montana 4540 compact tractor with quick disconnect FEL bucket. It has a lever you pull that dis-engages pins and allows you to drop out the loader from the bucket. I'm wanting a set of quick attach pallet forks for my FEL. What choices do I have? I want good quality, but I probably...

I'm up to 16 hours on my LG Montana 4540 now. I want to go ahead and get all the filters on hand for my first service, as well as a spare of everything else. I looked in the manuals, but I don't recall seeing filter part numbers. I would perfer to get my filters at the local parts store, like...

I have a new LG Montana 4540 tractor. I got the FEL with quick disconnect bucket. I haven't took it off yet, but it has a lever that slides and you drive out from under it, I think. Looks simple enough. I would like a set of Pallet forks that would work with this quick disconnect system. Are...

I figured I owe everyone a fair "consumer" review of my new LG Montana 4540, since I did get some useful information from you guys and this forum while making my purchase decsion. I now have a ripe 10 hours on my Montana 4540 tractor, I bought a month ago. I bought the tractor unseen and picked...
