    L3301 misfire on startup

    Problem has stopped and I suspect the culprit was a mouse that decided to move into my exhaust pipe. Bad move for the mouse

    L3301 misfire on startup

    The last 2 times I started my l3301 I got a bang(backfire?). This only happens when the tractor had not been used for several days. Otherwise it runs and operates perfectly. It's not especially hot or cold here lately(50's 60's) but it's very damp. 2014 model with 630HRS that has been well...

    Front end coming up while plowing snow with FEL mounted snow plow

    I have an l3301 with a heavy 7' blade /gravel driveway in the Catskills. I lift the loader until the blade just skims the surface. Also angle is important. blade wants to be perpendicular to the surface That's what works for me

    Snow plow ? Beginner

    I also have an l3301 and use it to plow a 2500 Ft gravel driveway here in the Catskills .I have had very good luck with a quick attach 84" blade that seems to be just right . No problem at all stacking snow up quite high. I have a front remote to angle. Also important to mention that chains...

    Mixing R1 and R4 tires

    I own a l3301 and the fronts are getting a bit worn at 550hrs. Currently have Ag tires. I just had an opportunity to buy a full set of R1's with wheels rears filled with rim guard for a great price, $800 with only 50hrs on them . I was thinking of just using the R4's in the front for now...

    Compacting "gravel"/"item 4"/"road base". Rent a Roller?

    I live in your area in Bearsville. I've had pretty good luck with #4 and just back drag it. I don't due more than 1.5 to 2" thick. I find my 6' landscape rake is useful to spread the material out and then I back drag.

    Bottle jack method of tree felling (plus rope?)

    One thing that seems to be missing here is what do the limbs look like on these big trees? Are they hanging way out in the direction of the barn etc? The tree is going to want to fall in the direction of the most weight. Be careful here! You might need a pro who can climb the trees

    New Purchase

    I would seriously consider a landscape rake for the driveway. I use a 6 ft one on the back of my l3301 and it's been great on my 1/2 mile gravel driveway here in the Catskills

    Gripstuds vs igrip which is better

    I want to put studs on my rear tires this winter. Looked at gripstuds(protrude 5mm) and igrips(protrude 3mm). The gripstuds are slightly more in price. Anyone have any info on which might be better on gravel roads? I am thinking the gripstuds might be slightly better as they are longer

    Need advice on a larger chainsaw for an older guy.

    I recently upgraded from an older MS290 to a MS261 CM. Difference is huge to me. I've been cutting a bunch of dead ash, some up to 28" in diameter and very tall(forest trees) and the saw just zips through them. It's very light and easy to use and the auto tune works great. BTW I am just about...

    How to clear Holly tree

    Holly is highly valued for binding and purflings etc. Does need to be dried quickly after it's cut to stay white and pieces need to be pretty much clear. They can be very narrow and still be usablehttps://www.gilmerwood.com/products/180707-american-holly-guitar-binding-billets

    New Stihl?

    Another recommendation for the 261cm Plenty of power and very light weight. Used to have a ms290 and the weight really makes a difference after working a few hours

    L3301 new starter price

    I would agree that the starter is probably fine. I just checked it out as a number of heavy equipment mechanics I talked too suspected that. I was just shocked that it was so expensive for a small starter turning a 33HP diesel

    L3301 HST will not start

    I think you are correct that there is no issue with the starter. I actually made my own remote starter with s couple of alligator clips and an old spst push button switch. In addition I found out that the tractor will stop when you are not moving and get out of the seat when you are in...

    L3301 new starter price

    I had some problems with the tractor not starting. Still not positive what caused it, but I looked into replacing the starter as it was a possible suspect L3301 not starting

    Kubota insurance and rodents

    I was wondering about insurance coverage of wiring damage from mice and rats etc. Turns out that Kubota Insurance covers it (KTAC).

    L3301 new starter price

    Checked out the price for a new starter for 13301 in case I needed one. About $900 with tax and shipping. This seems crazy!

    L3301 HST will not start

    Just a follow up. Tractor runs perfectly and I've put it thru a good workout. Still do not know what happened. I've been told the starter could be going, but no evidence of that. Checked out a new starter and it's $900! Crazy!

    L3301 HST will not start

    I hope it is not the mice! I have see them run out from time to time over the years when I start the tractor. I keep the hood up and always have traps around. No evidence of wiring damage is visible, but it could be deep inside/behind the dash etc. I took the cover off that is over the HST...

    L3301 HST will not start

    I am not convinced it was the seat switch. I unplugged it and tested it for continuity and it passed. I also got the weird situation where the engine stopped while not in motion when I got up out of the seat and the no start situation persisted. It only went away after driving around for 15...

    L3301 HST will not start

    So I got it started. Did a final check on all safety switches ..all ok. Slipped tractor in neutral, put on the parking brake and while I was in the seat I had a friend activate the starter solenoid. Tractor turned over so I turned on the ignition and it started right up. It then stalled when...

    L3301 HST will not start

    Got off the tractor this morning after shutting it off. Got back on and went to restart...engine not turning over. Dash lit up and I hear the fuel pump. Checked the usual suspects/continuity in the seat switch and PTO switch and felt around the HST pedal switch and that seemed ok. Battery...

    Kubota MX 5800 or Deere 4066M

    Well...seems things got a bit off topic here. Anyway wanted to share a link of a deal I just missed out on. Seemed like a good deal. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/299182198681287/

    Kubota MX 5800 or Deere 4066M

    I couldn't imagine 2WD around here. Sometimes it's tough getting around with 4WD. Steep hills ice etc. I am also hesitant to go back to having a clutch again, although I guess they are synchro from forward and reverse. Will have to drive a few. There is a lightly used MX5200 gear drive...

    Kubota MX 5800 or Deere 4066M

    I see your point about weight, but in the conditions around here the MX and the 4066M are about as big as I can go and still be able to maneuver around the steep terrain here as well as squeeze down the old fire roads etc

    Kubota MX 5800 or Deere 4066M

    Thinking of upgrading from my L3301. There are similarly priced Mx5800's and 4066M's around. I think they are both great machines, and I am wondering what people have heard about each of them. One thing I favor on the Kubota are the larger front tires as I am in mountainous conditions here in...

    I realize that I have incorrectly described the issue. Bolt turns, it is the nut that is frozen on.. Sorry about that. Anyway still wondering if it is ok to use withe play in it

    Woods LR72 fix or not?

    Yes it is exactly like yours. Bolt is not welded, just very frozen. Have used penetrating oil a very large bar and also a very large strong friend of mine. Just wondering if i can live with the play or else I feel I will need to cut the old bolt out and replace

    Woods LR72 fix or not?

    Yes that's correct , it is the pivot bolt

    Woods LR72 fix or not?

    Just picked up an older heavy duty Woods LR72 landscape rake with wheels. It's in pretty good shape except for one thing. The large bolt(1"?) that it pivots on is loose and there is about 3"+ of play up and down at the end of the rake. Bolt is quite frozen, so I can not tighten it. I have...

    Just a thought but why not go with the makita 2 x 18volt and buy one of their brushless combo tool kits. You will 4 x 18v batteries you can use use on multiple tools

    Plow off level

    I have a 84" plow on my Kubota l3301, similar to the Titan and is marked SP 220 It goes off level in both directions when I angle it. This is a real pain as I have a 2000 ft long gravel driveway. I have been keeping it a bit high to avoid digging in on the first pass and then reducing the...

    Chains  Tire Chains problems

    Hello All Ran into a problem with a set of Duo 19.5-15 chains on my L3301 rear Ag tires. I can barely hook them on and they leave a big space where they are hooked. Really too small. Place that I bought them tirechains.com refuses to take them back(bad story, they kept not responding to my...

    Stuck 4WD info

    Recently my L3301 Hydro was stuck in 4WD. Read all the suggestions(prop up wheels rock pedal etc) with no luck . Took a look under the tractor and realized that the link arm was bent, Straightened it and I was fine. But this makes me wonder about putting some sort of skid plate on the frame...

    HST damper issue l3300

    After doing a lot of snow clearing and moving after a big deep snowstorm in March, I was unable to restart my L3301. Played with the HST pedal a bit and it started. Noticed the tractor was creeping a bit as well and the problem happened again. Talked to the dealer and they said to replace...
