    L3301 front hydraulics leaking after warranty work

    I'm not usually the type of person to have work done, then after the fact start nit picking every little thing and claim "it wasn't doing that before, it's something you did". I'm a mechanic, I have customers like that so I know what it feels like. Having said that, I have a 2013 Kubota L3301...

    Large Enclosed Trailers - Experience and Advice for towing on steep and rough roads

    Sorry this took me so long, I couldn't find the blocks for a while. Pretty simple, 2.5 inch square tubing, 1/4 inch. I welded the bolts so I didn't have to mess with washers or backup wrench inside the tube. The torsion axles were originally bolted up into the frame, but also had flanges at 90...

    First Snake of the year

    That would be a tough call for me lakeside. I don't necessarily enjoy dealing with numerous deadly creatures every day, but I guess I'm used to it. It's like driving a car I guess. Your taught not to run into things with it or there will be consequences. Sure, stuff happens sometimes. But it's...

    First Snake of the year

    Oh and I forgot about these little fellas. Tons of these. Huntsman spiders. If you put one in the palm of your hand, it would come closer than you'd like to filling it up. But the most dangerous part about them is the human trying to get away in most cases. They like to live in the eaves of the...

    First Snake of the year

    You folks talking about living in places without these creatures, I wouldn't know what to do. Growing up all my life in west Texas, it's just a way of life I suppose. I've been fortunate enough to be in a rural setting much of my upbringing, and now later in life I've gotten married and...

    How do you evenly compact soil?

    On the property that the wife and I just purchased, it had a bunch of junk, unwanted growth, etc all around the house. Plus trenches have been dug for pipes and such. So now after all the rain and freak winter snow and ice episodes, I've got this packed in, bare tundra that looks like the moon's...

    Loader mounted post hole digger??

    Oh, and countrybumpkin, I like your avatar. Nice to see someone else that thinks its ok to have racecars and tractors at the same time. Haha. At least I assume that is yours.

    Shredder clutch help needed

    Hi all, I just bought a shredder off of Craigslist. I have never owned or operated one that has a slip clutch, but I assume that's what this is. This thing is very used, no signs of a brand or model anywhere. Any idea where to locate some sort of diagram or parts for this clutch? It has a bolt...

    Kubota L3200 / 3301 brake pedal placement

    I'm not sure what all models have the same arrangements. I have the new L3301 which I believe is nearly identical to the L3200. I've come to the conclusion that the designers made an error when they placed the clutch and brake pedals on the hydrostatic models. I realize that its customary to...

    Question about post hole auger teeth

    Thanks for replying. By saying the teeth that hammer into pockets, you make me envision the aggressive knobby rock bits with the round teeth. Sorry, I'm sure thats what I described, but not really what I was after. I'm sure thats whats best for rock, but I'm hoping to get away with a bit...

    Question about post hole auger teeth

    I've read through some threads here on tbn and looked around on ebay and such but I'm a little confused about my options. I've recently purchased a used phd with an auger that has the twisty pilot bit, but completely smooth cutting edges. It's not doing so hot in my rocky area. I don't want to...

    Grapple build for Kubota L3301

    After much trial and error (more error) and a bunch of help from the fine members of TBN, I've nearly completed my grapple. It's not pretty, but its mostly functional. The only thing it lacks is paint, and I think I may make some stops to protect the cylinder from bottoming out when opening...

    Help finding thread on mocking up cylinders with PVC

    I remember seeing something somewhere instructing how to mock up a hydraulic cylinder using PVC pipe and fittings. I'm having to change up the design of my grapple for a different length of cylinder. Does someone possibly remember where the thread is talking about what size fittings and such...

    Help with valve and cylinder problem

    Ok, don't laugh. My fab skills pale in comparison to everyone else's. It always starts out nice in my head but I quickly tire of grinding and measuring so I just "make it work".

    Help with valve and cylinder problem

    Hey guys, kinda in a pinch here. I'm hoping someone can shed some light. I've pre-ordered all of my parts to make a grapple on the front of my Kubota L3301. All is rigged up but when I push the valve in either direction, it just locks up the cylinder and won't operate the grapple in either...

    Looking for advice on adding worklights to tractor

    In my opinion, the LED light bars are the only way to go. There are a few write-ups on here I believe. I purchased mine on ebay. Chinese knock-offs yes, but the real deal is several hundred bucks. I'm even a dealer for the top of the line ones, and they are too rich for my blood. This one...

    Rat Disaster. Need Electrical Help.

    I agree 100% with this. I can solder. Quite well in fact. I do it every day as part of earning a living, it's hard to imagine not being able to. I don't mean this in a rude way to those that can't. I mean once you know how, you realize there are a lot of tasks that are performed better with this...

    Rat Disaster. Need Electrical Help.

    I did leave something out... If your going to crimp, do yourself a huge favor. Don't use the cheapo crimp tool that comes with most wire sets. Use one that has the little tang to crimp into the wire. The other will almost always leave a weak crimp somewhere in the bundle that will eventually...

    Rat Disaster. Need Electrical Help.

    Sorry to sound uninformed here. I read your entire first post and just skimmed all the rest so I didn't get all the replies, just trying to help. I'm limited on time and on my phone... Personally, I wouldn't do the harness. While it would no doubt be the BEST fix, it's really going to suck when...

    Stoage in Kubota Canopy

    Sorry, this picture looks horrible on my computer screen. By the time I link it on here it may be even worse. Not sure, I don't think I've ever posted a picture on the forums. Check these out for some reference. The basket I'm going to build is KIND OF based off of one of these. Mine will...

    Iseki TL 2300 PTO seal

    I borrowed a buddy's TL 2300 to use his post hole digger and when I was done the seal around the PTO output shaft was leaking a little bit. Does anyone have any literature that might indicate a part number so I could order one of these and have it on hand before I rip this thing apart and have...

    Water storage treatment/filtration questions

    Unfortunately I believe thats not true anymore. Thats what I'm finding out now. Thats why the chart that I had is now incorrect and my dosage is way too strong. If I remember correctly, the old number for the active ingredient (the chlorine) was 5.25%. Sorry if the picture is fuzzy, I just...

    Question about hydraulic post hole digger

    I read an article or two a while back about a couple of DIYers building some front quick attach post hole diggers. I can't find the threads on them but I don't think it will matter because I seem to remember reading them several times and not finding or understanding the lingo well enough to...

    Water storage treatment/filtration questions

    Hello all! I bought 10 acres in Texas 5 or so months ago. It had an existing well on it. The well is of unknown depth, quantity, quality, pump hp, age, etc. There was a black 1100 gallon storage tank on site, not hooked up. I decided to replumb the system to have the well maintain the...

    Kubota L3301 (3200) Rear hydros and valve questions

    Got another question guys. This may be obvious to some but I don't want to mess it up. I'm adding 3rd function to the front, I've got that all figured out. But that's using a valve with a power beyond port. Now I have a new project. I've come across a used backhoe and I need hydro's for the...

    Kubota L3301 Pressure Relief Adjustment?

    Hey guys. I've been a little curious about increasing the pressure on my new L3301, seems like its a little weak, won't pick up the front end without "driving into it". Sometimes struggles to pick up a bucket full of material, etc. I've wondered if its maybe kinda like the expiration date on...

    Adding FEL hydraulics to Kubota L3301

    Hello all. I'm VERY new to the tractor world. My wife and I just bought 10 acres and decided to get a tractor to help out around the place. Bought a Kubota L3301 brand new with the DPF exhaust (jury is still out on this, very lengthy, loud, obnoxious burn off's required), and the hydrostatic...
