    Backhoe  Kubota BH92 Backhoe

    Hi- I am looking to buy a backhoe for my Kubota L3830HST and was thinking of getting the BH77. My dealer wasn稚 able to find a listing for a subframe to fit my tractor because of the age of the unit. According to kubota痴 website they list a subframe that will fit and take the larger BH92. If...

    Lightening strike

    I had a 8 x 16 foot wood garden shed out behind my house next to a big butternut tree. My wife came home and found the shed fully engulfed in flames. A thunderstorm had just come thru the area and had a lot of lightening in it. The tree had bark blasted off it about 2/3 the way up. We think it...

    Flooding

    Have any TBN members from Texas or oklahoma been having problems with the flooding? I have seen the videos on the news and it really does look like flooding of "biblical proportions". Hope everyone is safe and not having serios problems. Mike

    Ballast  How much ballast is too much ballast?

    I normally put my bushhog on the back of my L3830 Kubota to use as ballast whem I am doing loader work. It weighs in around 500lbs. I have seen folks on TBN building concerete 3pt ballasts weighing in well over 1000lbs. It seems to me that there must be a point where the ballast works against...

    I am looking at a barely use Woods PHD 35 pto three point post hole digger with an auger and stand. It has only been used several times and looks pretty good. They want $1000 for it. Does anyone have any experience with this PHD? Seems fairly heavy duty. I think it has a 9" auger. Any input...

    I was cleaning up my pull behind manure spreader and found this when I opened up the side that houses the gear box. 5 mice total and packed with nesting material. I reversed the hose on my shop vac and blew them all out into the cold!

    Dog ate part of a razor blade

    My 18 month old chesapeake got a hold of a single edge razor blade that my wife uses to scrape the glass top of the stove off with. She was cleaning up the kitchen and heard a crunching noise and found the dog chomping on the blade. A 1/2" by 1/2" piece of the blade was missing. The dog didn't...

    3 point log splitter

    I am interested in getting a 3 pt log splitter to run off of my tractor. Can you run a hydraulic line from one of the FEL hydraulic outputs or do I need a seperate rear remote. I currently do not have any rear remotes. If I need a rear remote is there a special type?

    The Burn

    This is a small burn pile compared to yours. I know what you mean about being uncomfortable when it starts to really burn. You don't feel,like you have control of it.

    Broken fuel gauge on L3830

    My 7 year old L3830HT has a problem with reading incorrectly the amount of remaining fuel in the tank. It reads 2-3 bars below the amount that is actually there. The gauge has 8 bars when full normally. I filled it up yesterday and t only shows 5. I went to Kubota's schematic drawings thinking...

    DR PTO string trimmer

    Has anybody had any experience with DR's new PTO driven string trimmer for fence lines? We have a factory store near us in Delaware but they didn't have any in stock and weren't getting any for 4 to 6 weeks. The guy said I was like the 5th or sixth person that came in asking about it.

    Spreader remote gate control

    I just finished installing a remote gate control for my three point spreader. I got it from John deere. It replaces the manual lever on the spreader and attaches to the remote control lever on the tractor with a cable. It works really well. I got tired of leaning over backward to reach the lever...

    Continued transmission problems

    I have an 855D XUV Gator that I had to have fixed last year for a "frozen" transmission. I could not shift it. They replaced part of the clutch mechanism. It seemed to work better and shift smoother, but yesterday when it was pointed downhill and in low gear I was unable to shift it back into...

    Oil change recommedations

    Hi- I am getting ready to do a 500 hr oil and filter change on my L3830 Kubota. Kubota recommends using 10w30, 10w40 or SAE30 oil - all are okay with temperature ranges I live in. Lows of 10Fin winter and highs of 95-100F in summer. Is there any rhyme or reason as to what to use? I would...

    Brown stuff in diesel

    I noticed that when I fill the tractor from a 5 gallon diesel can there is fine flecks of brown material on the funnel filter screen. The diesel has powerservice white bottle additive in it and sometimes is probably 1-2 months old. Is this algae? I am going to try to reduce the time the fuel...

    Stupid is ....

    Just got off the phone with the John Deere mechanic. My 855D XUV froze up on the weekend while I was moving multiple loads of old hay to a compost pile. I was going in and out of gear driving to and then backing up to the pile. I was in four wheel drive in high gear and it froze in reverse and...

    855D Gator oil change

    Holy cow! I just changed the oil and filter on my 855D and could not believe how difficult it is to get to the oil filter. It is behind the engine jammed in between it and the transmission and requires you to be a contortionist to get to it. Unfortunately the fuel filter is right next to it...

    2010 Gator 855D

    Hi guys- I looked at a 2010 855d gator yesterday that I am planning on buying. The only thing I was wondering about was that when you first depress the "gas" pedal the diesel starts to increase its rpm before there is any forward movement. It runs really well and I like it alot but wondered...

    Stump burning

    Hey guys- I am going to cut down a dead pear tree which will have about an 8" diameter stump at the base and I want to burn it out. How do I go about doing that? Diesel? Should I wait awhile for it to dry out or can I burn it after I cut down the tree? Thanks in advance for the info. Mike

    Trimmer problem

    Guys- A little bit off topic for this category, but I need help. I have an Ariens 622ST walk behind string trimmer which was working fine until I ran out of gas. Now she will start but only runs for 10-20 seconds than cuts out. I thought there might be dirt in fuel line, but the screen in...

    Tire repair

    I was wondering how well the tire plug kits work on large rear fluid filled tractor tires? I have a Kubota L3830 and have put slime in the front tires which have handled a small puncture. Do the plugs they sell really seal up small leaks? Thanks - any coments from those who have used them would...

    Tiller  Rotary tillers

    I was looking on line at rotary tillers - was looking to get a 48-50" tiller with offset capability to run with my L3830 Kubota (PTO=30.5hp) and I was surprised to see that they have both recommended minimum and maximum hp ratings. I assume the upper end number is related to the gearbox? Would...

    Arena Drag

    Slightly out of the ordinary attachment question- Does anyone have any experience with a Riata ranch II arena drag? It is a pull behind arena drag with vertical spikes and a metal "comb"-like attachment that levels and grooms a horse arena. It attaches to a 2" ball attached to the tractor's...

    Suitcase weights and front end loader

    I took of my FEL on my L3830 so that I could mow around my fences easier with my 5ft brush cutter. Added 4 55lb suitcase weights to front bumper for stability which worked out real well. When I went to put the FEL back on I couldn't get it to seat properly until I removed the weights. Seems...

    Novice grease question

    This is a real basic question, but I don't have any prior experience with a grease gun. I am getting ready to lubricate my FEL on my new Kubota L3830HST after the first 10 hours of use. After you hook up the gun to the grease fittings how do you know when you have injected enough grease into...
