    E140 Rear Axle ‘Howling’ Noise

    I have an E140 (2019 model) with 135 hours. The gears in the rear axle make a ‘howling’ noise. It is most noticeable when the bypass valve lever is pulled out (neutral) and I push in in reverse. It has never leaked any oil. My LA145 (2010 model) with 470 hours doesn’t make this noise nor does my...

    Is Full Time Use of 4WD a Problem?

    I have a Kubota L3800 with HST. A neighbor who has used tractors and heavy equipment for many years suggested that I use 2 wheel drive whenever possible and only use the 4 wheel drive when necessary. Since purchasing it new in 2011 I have always left it in 4 wheel drive all the time. I have 110...

    What Is This Part???

    When configuring my L3800 on the Kubota website I saw they had an option for a Drawbar Clevis for $65. I thought that was a bit pricey but decided at the last minute to have my dealer add it. What he delivered isn't what I expected but he swears it is a clevis. Does anyone know what this part...

    Bought L3800HST

    Kubota Hydraulic rear remotes

    I understand the difference between a non-float remote valve and a float remote valve and I assume that Kubota's 'standard' valve must be a double acting valve; push the lever one way and the attachment raises, push the lever the other way and the attachment lowers. But when you configure remote...

    Box Scraper  Land Pride BB vs. MR

    Would someone mind telling me what the major differences are between the Land Pride BB2572 and MR15 models? I see that the BB is lighter and the picture looks like the shanks on the MR might go up and down together instead of individually. Thank you, Greg

    Comparison  LA844 Specs

    I'd like to compare the L3800 FEL (LA524) side by side with the MX4700 FEL (LA844) but I can't find the specs for the LA844. A search for LA844 on the Kubota website says no documents found and the specs shown on the products page only displays the tractor specs and the FEL brochure. The...

    Tractor Sizing  Seeking Advice On Which Model To Buy

    I've decided to replace my old Deere 2630 with a new Kubota and I'm trying to decide which model would work best for my needs. I'm considering the L3200, L3800 and L4400; all with HST. We are building a house in the Arizona high desert on 40 acres. The terrain is nearly flat, about a 2% slope...

    Is There a L4400 Replacement Coming Soon?

    The Kubota website groups the L4400 with the L2800 and L3400. I read on the forum that "The L2800 and L3400 are being replaced by the L3200 and L3800, they are the same basic tractors, just a newer model #". Is thare also a replacement for the L4400? Thank you, Greg

    Montana SCUT, Engine and McCorkick Questions

    I stopped by a Montana / McCormick dealer yesterday and I am wondering if anyone can confirm or dispel some of the information the salesman told me: a) Montana will not offer any SCUT's in 2008; the T2334 and T2734 will be eliminated. This is contrary to the information on the Montana website...

    Another Newbie Looking for Advice

    I need some advice on selecting a tractor. I have never owned one but I have been doing a lot of online research and now understand most of the terminology (FEL, hydro, synchro-shift, MFWD, live PTO, etc). I know I need to consider the size and weight of a tractor, not just the horse power. Most...
