    Toothed bucket vs bolt on tooth bar?

    I wanted to point out that the Pihrana bar comes in 2 types. The original with just 2 bolts in the side of the bucket and the Pro, which bolts across the front edge of the bucket. This may be why some thought it was more work to remove than others. I have a Kubota L3130 and the loader bucket...

    Tractor Hours/Year

    Bought my Kubota L3130 with 2000 hours on it in 2017, just hit 2200 this winter. It has cab, heat, loader and back blade. Only average less than 30 hours a year, but as others have said, feels like it should be more. Every one of those hours have been great though. Whether clearing snow or...

    Tractor Diesel Fuel Additive

    I bought some Lucas anti gel because I think I bought my 5 gallons of diesel in the summer and was worried it might gel. They had a bottle of Hotshots secret diesel extreme also, and after I read the bottle I decided to try it. After adding the proper amounts to a full tank in Kubota L3130 I...

    Tractor Diesel Fuel Additive

    New to diesel tractors when I bought a used Kubota L3130 in 2017 for snow and driveway grading. Do I need to be concerned about Biodiesel in Michigan? I bought some Stabil diesel additive once and my brother-in-law told me there was no need for any additives. He worked on a farm growing up...

    Battery Info

    I spent the extra money for an AGM for my Kubota L3130, granted it was not an Optima, and it still died in 3 years, even with a battery tender at that was always connected. Still using the tender, but on an Interstate lead acid battery. Been a year so far without issue. The interstate wasn't...

    Cost estimate on splitting L4310

    My leak is definitely from the weep hole, no way to tell where it starts without splitting the tractor. Normally this sort of thing drives me nuts and I would have to fix it, but with the amount of work involved I am OK with it. Maybe when I retire in a few years I will decide to tackle it...

    Cost estimate on splitting L4310

    Slightly off topic, but I have the same issue on a 2004 Kubota L3130, but my leak is slower. It only leaks while using the tractor and leaves a small puddle after parked. ( I started placing a coffee can under it) I changed the fluid when I bought the tractor in 2017 and only added a quart or...

    Vehicle Oil changes

    You know, I never thought of, or asked that question. He is a chronic pot smoker though, so who knows? I would have thought the oil change place was the cause immediately, but I'm not a pothead.

    Vehicle Oil changes

    Many good points in this thread as well as bad. I have 2 examples of why you should do it yourself if able. 1. My brother had his changed at a Fast Eddie's chain. He left and a couple miles down the road his van died. He towed it to his house and called me a few days later asking if I could...

    I don't understand something.

    After spending 24 years using a 48 inch snowblower mounted on a lawn tractor for my nearly 1/4 mile long driveway, I bought a used Kubota L3130 with cab and heat and front loader in 2017. I only have 124 hours on it, but they are worth every penny nice and warm instead of bundled of and...

    L3130 BATTERY HELP

    I just purchased this tractor this fall and have completed full maintenance of all fluids and filters. Brutal cold lately here and this 2003 l3130 had either the original battery or a Kubota replacement. Been starting hard so I decided to get new battery. After reading a post here about...
