got a new toy today it came adjusted to about 1/2 inch below sides except for one blade's edge where it's a touch less.

Sorry if this is a dupe thread. I've been really busy lately and haven't kept up reading the forum. If redundant, please delete the thread. I got a call from my dealer today and they said there is a mandatory recall on a turbo hose on my l5460. They will come out sometime in the next...

I have a question. Anyone taken off the lower plate on the back of their rbt35 or 40 that is held by two bolts? I started to take it off to see what is under it (looking for all play adjustments) and now I can't get it back on. Goes in most the way and then seems to be hitting something...

first try. Not quite sure what to do with the set of hoses not plugged in (only have one extra remotes for offset and angle). Anyone that bought a new rbt3584, did it come with a top link pin? Every 3pt attachment I've bought so far came with one but this one did not.

Got my rbt3584 this morning. Ordered it without offset and angle and I bought a pair of cylinders from Brian. His cylinders came well packed looking well made and even included spare pins and clips which is a great touch as I am sure I'll have one disappear at some point. I'd love pics of...

I've had the front hood latch knob fall off a couple times on my rops l5460. Second time I can't find it. Kubota wants over 40 bucks for the whole assembly replacement, and no body has those in stock (even Messicks). Crazy that you can't just buy the knob, as I can't be the first person that...

I just changed the fiters on my l5460 hydraulics. The hoses going forward at the hydraulic filter were really tight in there and getting a strap on that filter was a pain. Now I can't remember how the hoses were routed right at the hydraulic filter (not the hst filter). Should have taken a...

Any tips on how to keep a kubota steering wheel center cap to stay on? Mine seems to catch on anything (like my sleeve) and pop out. Plus when I look at the "hooks" on the back of the cap, it looks like when they match the wheel holes, the K is not centered. Confusing..... Different subject...

I see references to the LP rb3584 but I don't see it listed on the LP website. What's the difference? That the T version can take hydraulics? Do they even still make the non T version? I am close to buying a rbt3584 because I want hydraulic angle now and maybe add in hydraulic offset once I...

After about about 3 hrs using the screener I noticed both coil springs were broken into two pieces. I don't remember it being like that before but I can't imagine what I've done that is unusually hard on it.

Received my slg-78 yesterday. Seems promising to be very useful, but I think my expectations were a bit high. I don't think it'll be as convenient and flexible as I was hoping for $7k. Some of my "concerns" from looking at what pics I could find proved grounded although none total...

Travis called and put Ted on this morning. He's going to send me some different fastners to try. Thanks guys.

I looked at the holes again today. It could be what I am seeing is the holes in the bracket having been enlarged by the arms coming loose and the bolts gouging up the holes a bit. Bottom line is for me the bolts/nuts aren't holding the bracket in place well enough. I'll was hoping you had...

I may not have been clear enough. The problem I am having is not with the swivel collars on the wheel mounting assembly. It is where the gauge wheel arm mounts to the rake body. Bolts are not keeping the arm bracket in place and within minutes the arm gets loose enough to move up and down...

Thnks, I'll give that a try. imo a major contribution to the problem is how big the holes are drilled, esp on the gauge arm bracket. The nuts have a really hard time keeping the arm bracket from rotating due to that hole slop. I'd estimate the end of the gauge wheel arm can move up and down...

Any tips on keeping the mounting bolts for the gauge wheels on my EA rake tight? Mine are coming loose after maybe 15 minutes, making using them tough. Bolts with nylon threaded locknuts. I have them tightened to maybe 150-160 lbs and still they soon get loose.

I am ignorant about different backhoes and ways they mount to tractors. (Never used one before). I have a Kubota l5460 with a regular 3pt hitch (and 3 rear remotes with top and tilt). I am wanting to buy a backhoe soon for ongoing projects I have. Maybe a bh92? Can someone explain to me the...

I guess some freight terminals "insist" you pick up your order in one trip to save them trouble. I had three attachments to pick up last fall and when I arrived the freight terminal said I must pick them up in one trip rather than come back. I managed to do it all in one trip, but was not...

My dealer wanted $650 to come out and do 50 hr service. So I passed. I had lug nuts very loose so be sure and check yours. I should have checked mine at the 5 hr mark probably..... Plus I happened to notice about a third of the rear wheel bolts were not seated correctly by the dealer. Easy...

In terms of grabbing big rocks, my concern with the lighter grapple is if I would be doing much prying to get the rock into position. My tractor has a stronger FEL, so maybe that is why I am more concerned. Once in the jaws no problem. I've moved lots of rocks, including some fairly big ones...

I was torn between these and the heavier duty forks for my l5460 and went with these because I decided I wanted a lightweight fork with 48 inch tines and this seemed the best choice. Still a little torn if maybe I should have gone with a heavier duty incase I get rambuncious moving logs or...

I've read costs for car and light trucks dpfs run from like 2.5k to over 6k$. Any dealers care to look up and share the cost of a replacement dpf for say a l5460? Just curious. Manual says cleaning or replacement at 3000h, and hopefully in the next few years the technology for cleaning them...

I was at an AZ yesterday and picked up another drain pan. Flo Tool. Way flimsy and the cap doesn't catch on the threads. So I am looking for another drain pan (or two) at least 5 gallons and some way to pour. Any favorites? I am considering a Lisle 4.75 gallon.

I assumed all kubota engine oil was now compatible with all their machines. Yesterday I stopped by and picked up a jug of kubota 10-30 which they recommend but when I went to use it I noticed it was not cj-4 rated which my l5460 needs. I called them and it looks like the dusty old jug they dug...

I am having a problem with my new grapple, one clamp does not close all the way. Seems like it did last week, although I could not swear to it. I called EA this morning and talked to Rick who must have been pretty busy as he did not want to hear what I learned in inspecting it last night. He...

I'll have to look at it again when I am back out there, but my first thought is that if I ever have to remove the cylinder I might wish the cylinder pin was the other way around here. I really hate breaking loose doped threads loose if I don't have to. I could be wrong, just going by the pic I...

I have a need to trailer my bcs 852 as compact as possible sometimes. That means detaching the attachment (mower) to fit it into the trailer better. Any simple ideas to have my 852 stand up "normally" without an attachment holding up the pto? Also the tires are slightly taller than stock...

I love the idea of c/e clips on both ends of each cylinder pin. Looks to me like there is an adequate groove already there for clips. As long as there is room for the e clip pliers. I'd probably then need a larger set of e pliers though to open a clip that size. Maybe I'll try to track down...

Stupid question warning: I have a new Kubota l5460 which I am loving. Confess I am new to tractor world. I am currently using a heavy box blade (with an OEM tnt)and when driving around on uneven ground with the blade up the BB can swing far enough to each side for the arms to touch the...

I am loving my hrl3578. For what I am doing, I can't imagine not having the hydraulic scarifier bar. But I need to come up with a decent source for the teeth. Here's a pic of mine after only a few hours of what I consider pretty easy work in sort dirt, but with a few rocks in it. I expected...

Congrats! Fourth L60, I think. John, Stu, and mine that I know of. Mine only has 10 hrs on it (just got it) but really liking it so far. I almost bought the l4760 but decide to go for a cat I II version. Probably doesn't really matter, but it got stuck into me head and the price was so...

Wow, your hose and routing are so much cleaner than mine. Mine kind of seems a rats nest in comparison. At some point I may have a new hose or two made up and try to come up with a better configuration than the OEM kit they installed. Are yours alway so clean or did you just wash it before...

They brought the tractor back out to the new property so I drove out there today and spent about 5 hours on it. What a joy to drive. Quiet, smooth, strong, and less stink. Hose routing still a pain, and I had to stop every now and again to pull sticks out of places I didn't want them. But...

That blade has a pin and a nut on the rear angle adjustment to take out play from wear, etc. The offset is just a pin in a hole, no obvious adjustment on tension. How well does that offset capability work out in terms of play or movement where it pivots for the offset? (I don't mean the...

Any status on the timeline on a landplane that adjusts for blade wear, etc, that ted says will be coming in the vid from last year?

Just pulled the trigger on a few more implements I need badly: ETA 84 inch Landscape rake (with custom offset added) and gauge wheels 60 inch Wicked Root Grapple bradco compact tractor PF with 48 inch forks. Along with my new RR and hrl3578 I am getting a good start considering I have only...

Since the l60 OEM routing for the 3rd function valves has soft hoses hanging right down below the tractor at 90 degrees (even dealer mechanic said it's crazy), most of us will have to come up with a stopgap solution. Here's what my dealer installed at my request for some sort of more...

My new l5460 was delivered yesterday. Started having some fun and smelled hydraulic oil. It was dripping below. Jumping to the chase, it gushes when operating one of the rear remotes, like the top. Dealer was going to sent someone out to check it out, but I guess had someone driving by...

John has told me how long his ETA grapple hoses are on his LA805 loader (l4060). Anyone have a guess on how much "longer" an LA1055 loader is from the tube crossbar to the attachment point as compared to the LA805? I am trying to decide how much longer of hoses to order on my LA1055 than what...

I was looking at my new hrl3578 at the dealer this morning -- dealer has a little more to do before they can deliver my new tractor. It is certainly as impressive as the pics in person (as I posted elsewhere with a pic). I checked out how the back locks in place (otherwise hinged) and there...

While at the dealer today finalizing some details on some simple mods to my new l5460 I wandered around looking at stuff. Man, these mowers look freaking huge stood up. I seriously did not want to knock one over looking at it. The pic doesn't show it, but these are monoliths... Thought pics...

Pic of tractor at dealer this morning. Scheduled for delivery Monday. second pic (crummy pic, poor light and cellphone) is of 3rd function valve hoses. Dealer is going to try to fab an angle plate that bolts to the "block" where the hard hoses become soft (on left in pic), and over to plate...

My dealer claims that they pretty much only carry smooth top mowers because they have found that since folks aren't very good about cleaning off the debris/grass the ridged ones tend to rust out on top much faster. Is a smooth top rear rotary mower that much an advantage in the long run...

I am trying to figure out what the letters in the LandPride implements models mean. In some cases the 1 is light duty, the 2 is med etc And for say an HRL3578 maybe the H means hydraulic, L means low back, 35 is the series and 78 is the width. Not sure the R. RBT3584, Rear Blade , don't know...

What do you think any issues would be with adding hydraulic angle to the ETA XTreme Duty 6 way Tractor Scrape Blade? Weld in some brackets for a cylinder? Other issues you see? some blades (like the LPs) come hydraulic or manual, all ready to accept a cylinder. hint hint

I used to be pretty active in one of the big chainsaw forums and they talk about a phenomenon of that forum that has folks end up buying more and better chainsaws from reading the forum. I have more than I'll admit here. They call it CAD or chainsaw acquisition disorder. I've been following...

Say a person had a tractor with topntilt and 3 rear remotes. Say they were considering buying a LP RBT3584 which is a rear angle blade that can have manual or hydraulic angle, tilt, or offset. Seems likely the hydraulic angle is a no brainer. How best to put the other two remotes to work...

John or Stu, My dealer said they are currently looking at the instructions for the 3 rear remotes for my l5460. Here's an excerpt of his email This is the order of slots. The two parallel slots are positions one and two. Number one being closest to the operator. Position 3 is one above...

Kubota site lists the r4 tires the smaller (up through l4760) l60 series come with as REAR - 17.5L-24 R4 Firestone All Traction Utility The larger models (which have cat I, II) like the l5460 list the rears as REAR - 17.5L-24 R4 Titan Industrial Contractor TL What's the difference? Maybe the...

I just pulled the trigger on a LP BB with a hydraulic scarifier bar today. Really expensive but I decided I'll use it a ton and worth it in the long run. tough decision because it cost fully triple what a pretty decent looking HD ETA BB costs. But where does it end? Do folks think getting an...

Here's my new l5640 this morning at the dealer. The valves came in today, although since I changed me mind from 1 to 2 rear floaters it will set back picking up the tractor another week while they get them in. Dealer will put on 3 chain hooks (at my wish and for free), still has to mount all...

I will be putting TnT on my l5460 (cat 1 and 2) at some point soon (don't have the tractor yet as dealer has ordered rear remotes). I was wondering how the current Kubota TnT compares to the aftermaket ones in terms of functionality and quality? Any advantages or disadvantages of each on a...

My dealer has ordered the rear remotes to put on my new l5460. Two floaters and one double action. (3rd function separate). I am not sure all the ways I'll use them, but probably it will include topntilt as well as maybe hydraulic scarifier bar on a BB at the same time. Any suggestions on...

Anyone know where I can figure out the retail price of a Land Pride HRL3578 BB? Seems like LP retail prices are a closely guarded secret. Dealer wants $3900, I am trying to figure out if there is any break in that price. Thanks, Bill

I really like the look of the ETA root wicked root grapples for my soon to have l5460 with la1055 loader. But since I will be handling logs and such as well as brush, it struck me that a single clamp would be nice in a width wider than the 50 incher they sell now (and a slightly beefier grapple...

Sorry to start yet another thread on BBs. I just ordered a tractor (L5460, 52hp with cat I or II) and one of the implements I need to buy in the next 2-3 weeks max is a box blade as I have alot of work to do on a new property. Thinking maybe like 78 inch wide model as tractor is about 74...

A dealer quoted me a price of $800 to have new l5460 tires (rear) filled with Rimguard. That sounds higher than I was expected, has it gone up that much recently? One poster said his tubeless tires actually slipped on the rim using Rimguard. And I read that some tire places will only fill...

Who has an L60 series, which one and how many hours? W hat do you think so far? My closest dealer hasn't sold one yet.

I see the larger Kubotas will take either cat 1 or 2 3 pt hitch implements. Will show ignorance here, is it simply pin size or are the lengths of the arms different? The size I have my eye on only takes cat 1 (l4760), but slight larger tractors take either. Is that a big deal, maybe a wider...

I decided to post this question as a separate thread in case of use to anyone else. Does anyone know if wr long (or EA) has figured out a configuration of a 3rd function valve kit and hoses for the lxx60? Including a third button? Looking for specifics, as the lxx40 and lxx60 look to be...

If the rear remotes on an lxx60 are connected in somewhere in the back (rather than going under the tractor) then maybe one solution would be to use an aftermarket 3rd function and avoid those exposed hoses hanging below the tractor. (Or a skid plate if one lends itself.) Another thing I've...

Here's some pics of an l5060 I saw this morning. It doesn't have rear remotes so I can't say where they would be routed. So although the upper hoses are in the same place as the l4060, notice there are no exposed lines below the tractor that I saw (because of the bigger frame I think) as...

Is the WR long 3rd function kit the same as the one Ted at Everything Attachments sells? I have read postings about folks having problems a while back with the Kubota valve sticking. I could not find postings of that having been resolved. Any word on the street about which is a better way...

I would love to see pictures of an l4240 that has a 3rd aux function in front and rear remotes in terms of the hose routing. Esp on the right side of the tractor and underneath the right step area. Thanks, Bill

I am hoping for some opinions from experienced CUT folks on the choice between the l4240 and the l4060. I had planned to buy the l4240, but the local dealer that seems the best (and I hope to deal with over the years) does not have any and doesn't think he can get any more. So I looked at...

Does the regeneration produce lots of heat? Does it require extended road speeds to regenerate? Is there any sort of manual maintenance required? What is the life span of the filter? I can't find much specific info. Had an l40 series in mind but locally they are all gone and only the l60...

I received my 852 with the 26 inch delmarino mower and the 26 inch betra flail mower today. Spent some time getting accustomed to the brush mower and starting to get a handle on it. Any tips on setting up the betra flail or operating tips in grass and light brush with it? Seems like an odd...

Not sure if this should be here or in the other section. I am trying to come up with realistic maximums for ability to lift upwards with a chain with a FEL with some models of tractors. For example l3800 and l3490. I currently do that a fair bit to lift logs (like loading/unloading logs in my...

Can anyone point me to link to become more knowledgeable about differences in tractor configurations, etc? I need to buy a tractor for my new property soon. I am leaning towards a kubota. Think at least 30 hp, 4wd. Bucket (FEL) in front and want to be able to run a backhoe attachment in...

My local dealer has gone out of business and now no dealer within half an hour. Can anyone point me to a part diagram for an lx277 and an online parts source? My 2wd lx277 has lost some sort of pivot bolt on the cruise control. So lever doesn't do anything. It's been that way a while, and I...

I figured out my problem with my lx277 that would not engage the blade. Turns out it was the small kill switch pulled out in the back (kind of hidden). In trying to figure it out I took off the mowing deck (first time). So it's fixed, except now I have a part that fell off onto the floor...

I am considering buying a gas bcs 823 with maybe 6.5 x 12 x 23 inch wheels and some sort of brush mower. Localish dealer only carries the bcs mowers while I see earth tools seems to like the zannon super heavy duty. Is the Zannon better built? I am in the process of buying a 22 acre lot. Not...
