I am kind of new to seeding and am seeing some odd things happening. Maybe someone can shed some light. I am having problem with grass seed, oats and wheat. I have seeded with winter rye and brown top millett with no trouble. Along my road frontage we tore out 3 dead trees leaving big open...

I planted roughly 5 acres in various pieces across my property about 2 weekends ago. Most of what I planted was deer food, winter rye, oats, clover, wheat, and millett. I then planted some Kentucky 31 along my road frontage to repair the damage from construction equipment over the past year...

I have a lot of "aftermath" after logging operations were done over a year ago here on the property. A few weeks ago I hired a dozer and we cleaned up for 17 hours removing a lot of stumps and he pushed up about 2ft deep worth of slash into a pile so I could burn it. Well the fire has been...

I have burned several piles here at the house after some logging operations but not many of them. I have a specific place to do it where there is NO fuel on the ground for quite a distance and the entire area is about 1.5 acres large. I am not looking to burn a 30ft pile down but about 3-4 pick...

I can barely see the screen from the sweat I can't keep out of my eyes. I was outside cleaning up a tree I fell last week and came time to take the long logs out of the yard and take it to the burn pile. I took my loader off and connected my WR LONG grapple but I can't get my hose fittings...

Not a tractor but I need some help lifting my JD ZTR Mower. It's a commercial HST 42in cut so it's a bit heavy, much more than these Lowes specials you normally see. How does someone service the underside of the deck ? The muffler is on the back lengthwise so I can't tip it back. I was...

I am kind of new to this, only 80 hours on my tractor. I keep on getting crud in my tires. A couple of months ago my tires got some small slices in them, think it was some rock I was driving on that had been broken up by the site prep work. Then I had a branch the size of a cigar go sideways...

Any suggestions or pictures on where to mount a small sized tool box on the L3400, hopefully some place out of the way. I always find myself going back to the garage to find a cresent wrench, 15/16, some pins, gloves or a 5lb hammer and it's becoming a drag. I have been thinking for a few...

I have a L3400 with abt 75 hours on it. Normally this has not been a problem but for some reason now after a few minutes of operation my turnbuckles go loose then widen up when using my rake and start rubbing up against the inside of the tires. The locking nuts are tight but the buckles still...

I just got back and forgot to look at the manual. With the valve stem at 12 o'clock I am showing 20psi, it's a 19.5x15 loaded and I got to search the web to see what the pressure should be. I did remember to take a photo though.

When I pulled the tractor out today at the ranch my wife spotted a twig on the tire. She thought that was odd until she noticed that it was MOVING WITH THE TIRE! Apparently I have about a 1/4+ dia. branch stuck in my loaded rear tire.:eek: I believe the tire is a 19x15.5 the branch was sticking...

Does anyone know of a good strong magnet bar for a FEL ? Builders are leaving a mess in the dirt at our new homesite. The road leading to our back property which we take the ATV and tractor through goes right past the back of the house were most nails and screws are found. I'd like to drive...

OK this may be a simple question for some but I am really green and the tractor manual mentions nothing about the process to connect rear implements. How do you hitch up ? It always seems difficult much more than it should be maybe this is the way it is but maybe it's that I am doing something...

Does anyone know where/how to adjust the parking brake on a L3400 HST Kubota ? I have 17 hours on mine and the parking brake is no longer working that well. When I first got it the tractor held well even on inclines. I still would drop the FEL and rear attachments in addition to throttle down...

OK I got 20 hours on the tractor finally, 13 of them this weekend alone! I got a lot of progress done, it does not feel like it but I just got to remember this entire job will take at least 6-8 months if I work 3 weekends a month, probably more. The last photo on my post from 5-5-07 will show...

OK here are some actual photos from the trail and the piles. Trailhead near food plot and you can see the burn pile to the left. Notice all the debris which I had mentioned, branches and pine needles so traction even with loaded tires may be an issue once I head up or downhill. Trying to avoid...

The stumps range all over the place it is pine timber land. I would like a BH but everyone has told me that the BH on a L3400 would not do me much good for stumps. I can use it to trench for water and electrical but once most of that is done the BH may be very underused. A local rental shop has...

Can anyone give me input on the Worksaver Brand of tractor implements. They seem to have quite a selection and most of all they are the first people that I have seen with a stump grinder for a tractor. Worksaver PTO Powered Stump Grinder Grinders are expensive to rent and I have a few hundred...

I can walk it no problem. I looked for a photo but I do not have one of the dozer pile. My son is about 4ft tall and I am 1/2 way up another hill, he is in a gully and you can see the hill I got to work on behind him. The red marks note where the piles are . Photos are horrible to show...

Same with the L3400. I read the post and headed back out the next morning to give it a try. I have about 1.5 inches left of takup and it worked GREAT. Next weekend I'll try shortening it up all the way and see if it's any better. I broke up the top 3-4 inches and left it the way it was...

OK new tractor, only 3 hours on it a L3400. I got a somewhat steep hill where a logging tractor put in a "errosion burm" which is more like a mountain, about 4ft tall and 6ft wide. I want to clear it out somewhat so I can use that trail towards my staging area. The tires are loaded and I have a...

I beat you all, only 2 hours on mine so far! I have not used the PTO yet but I have been using the box blade for 1.5 of the 2 hours and the FEL for the other 30 minutes. Yes! YES the 3pt lift is REALLY jerky and it is really making box blade work difficult. Actually at times the FEL seems a bit...

SNIP>> Well quality is important for me on this implement since it will probably get the most use and the #1 reason for me purchasing the tractor. Here is an example what I will be dealing with.

OK guys, many of you seem to be very adept and avid welders. I started welding a couple of years ago but actually quit when I was going broke buying raw materials. The wife started getting upset since it was often cheaper to buy the item needed than to make it myself if it were available. A...

Odd way to ask the question but I bought one today, hope I did the right thing. Bought a L3400 along with the WRLong root grapple, any good or bad thoughts on the product. I paid $2839 with the valve installed. Just wanted to make sure I did not purchase a dog, I still have a day if I want to...

I have been pricing tractors at my local dealers, I have Kubota, NH and JD all local. It seems the TC30 is the least expensive of the big 3 I have looked at. The tractor will be used a LOT at the start but then it will taper off to an occasional box blade job and possibly tilling 1-2 acres. To...

I have 27.5 acres that just got logged, 3 acres clear cut 40% thinning of the rest. Heck I think the 40% was just the darn trails the CAT325 had to cut to get to the places, 3+ miles worth of trails by my GPS when I walked it. Needless to say loggers left a mess, going to cost me more in...

I have priced a L3400 this will be my first tractor. A bit more than I can afford right now but I can pull it. The main reason for a BH would be to pull up some small pine stumps (5in or so maybe a few 10in stumps). This is at my new 30 acre property, still no home so I got to buy a container to...
