Wow its been almost 4 years since Ive posted on this board but Im back once again. I seem to be having problems with my L35. The transmission is not shifting during selecting gears or when trying to move forwards or backwards. The hydraullic level is fine and the loader and backhoe hydraullics...

On my L35 the transmission seems to take a lot longer to engage than it should. It also does not shift smoothly and rather seems like it is jammed into gear. I checked the hydraullic oil and everything seems fine. Anybody have any ideas on this>?

Plow is on but all we've been getting is bitterly cold weather and no snow... Ill be ready for it when it comes!

Today I plowed the drieway after a 15 incher and well lo and behold i manage to smash the back end of my father's mercedes. I was turning around and the tractor slid right into the back.....I can think of no worse feeling.....

Now all I have to do is attach the plow! The Ben from MA

Where\'s the Snow??? I dont know about the rest of you New Englanders but down here in Massachusetts it has felt like Mid May rather than Dec 1! This trend of middle 50's (and no end in site) is starting to take its toll on my soul. I have my plow all ready and my eyes plastered to the heavens...

I put in my order for a new Curtis plow yesterday. Dealer said it should arrive in a week and will be ready and all holes cut for the following week. I went with the 6 1/2 foot plow. AT first I thought I would need the 7 1/2 with a 28" moldboard but the 24" looks plenty tall enough. Ahhhhhhh...

I have a quick and simple question regarding any soft sided cab installed on a tractor... When the dealer (or whoever installs it) puts in the front windshield, do parts need to be welded to any area of the tractor? Is the windshield removable? Thanks for your replies The Ben from MA

I have had my backhoe off since last month and decided to put it back on today after many completed tasks with the grader blade. The Backhoe is always a pain to put on my L35 since everything has to be lined up perfectly. If you dont line it up correctly the backhoe could wind up in a contorted...

Here is a picture I discovered in my British Car magazine. It is an article of a man named Gary Hatter from Maine who injured his back and needed to find a way to fund money for a surgical operation. What better way than to drive across the US in a BX2200?? It took him 260 days and 14,954 miles...

My Tundra 5-Speed. A beautiful and powerful little workhorse however Ive never tried to pull the L35 with it.... Im not sure if the Tundra could tackle that task The Ben from MA

Here she is... The Ben from MA

I looked out on our field today and noticed there was still piles upon piles of small rocks, the largest ones no bigger than a size 9 shoe. However, the rocks are ever present. I did my best raking and raking over and over to get rid of the rocks and a large construction company who was dumping...

I have seen manytimes on highways large yellow industrial backhoes with front plows attached to the bucket of the FEL which allows them to plow without taking off the bucket. I have been looking around for a company that makes these for compact tractors and I feel I am out of luck. Does anyone...

A tremendously strong storm is in the forecast. Suit up there are going to be some seriously large snow banks to push around The Ben from MA

Today I was scraping off a thin layer of ice, snow and god knows what else off the top of my drive. In order to not completely rip off the top dense grade on the driveway I set the loader to float (things are thawing around here) As a bigger and bigger pile began to accumulate in front of the...

I know I will regret this question later since the more I think about I fully realize how idiotic and insane this question really is ! Well here it goes... I have put the backhoe back on my L35 for it's "mid winter warm up". Well figures now that I have done this, I am in the midst of a 14-inch...

I went outside tonight to grease the tractor. Pulled out the trusty grease gun, place the end around the grease nipple and tried to pump grease into it and t ono avail. I tried with all my might but not one once of grease seeped into the joint.. ANy suggestions? The Ben from MA

Well I have been posting for quite a while now and I think it is about time I get myself a camera or at least a scanner so I can put some pictures of my Bota. I know there has been posts about this before but I didnt feel like digging it up... So what do all you picture posters have and what is...

i can see everyone gets a kick out these huge earth moving machines. Maybe with this one I could place the moon in my back yard as a nice lawn ornament! The Ben from MA

I said to myself it is about time I bought a pickup for just around the house uses. I was wondering if anyone could give me some info on what they believe is the best truck as I do believe most of you own one. All and any info is greatly appreciated Thanks. The Ben from MA

How bout this new Kubota L48... How does everyone think it compares to a full size backhoe or the L35? The Ben from MA

The main road in front of my house is being redone this year because of its extremely poor condition. The company that is conducting this venture is one of the greatest construction companies I have yet met. I made a deal with them to truck up all of the old road bed (Gravely stuff) in those...

Today I was trying to remove my backhoe from my L35 and the disengage lever was really stuck. I pulled and tugged then finally I got movement except the whole lever broke off! Now im in a bigger dilema. I have to find someone to weld this back on. I cant figure out why the lever wouldnt budge in...

I need shelter quick to house my L35. Does anyone know of anything thing such as a fabric tent or on that idea to put up so I can store my tractor under until my garage is finished?

I think I want to bundle to an enclosed cab on my L35 this winter. I was looking at the soft cabs and i think that would be all i need for plowing and wintery tasks. Does anyone know how well these hold up and what is their cost?

Has anyone heard of what the winter is going to be like this year up here in the Northeast? I hope we get dumped. Snowplowing is always a chore i enjoy!!

As the cool months come along I am thinking I will bring my L35 in to be serviced. I have about 400 hrs on it however I bought it used and all filters seem to be no more than 100 hrs old. I may need and oil change and addition of hydraullic fluid, and my front work lights fixed but thats it. The...

Today I was running my backhoe and digging up rough soil when all of a sudden a weird smell comes from the tractor and the hydro hose connected to the tractor from the backhoe starts smoking. I immediately jumped off (Scared immensly I might add and shut off the tractor. I checked under the...

I was up in New Hampshire the other day at Chappel TRactors and I was admiring the cabs kubota puts on the l4310 and l3710 tractors. It really looks very well put together. Now i have seen the hard cabs put on L35's and they just dont even compare to the Cabs on the L4310. I was...

Is it possible to put a backhoe on the L3710 or L4310 CABs?

I am making a fairly large field and I already have an L35. I think im gonna need anoither tractor just for mowing purposes. It would be quite a pain to take the backhoe of the L35 on and off so much. I need a smaller tractor than the L35 for a good price... Does anyone have any suggestions on...

Tonight I wanted to do a little night operation and I went to turn on my Lights mounted on the ROPS on my L35. Much to my dismay they didnt turn on! I decided it must be a fuse and checked the fuse but it looked fine. Then i traced the wiring to see if I had a loose connection but everything was...

I just purchased a woods 6ft grader blade and from the start it was great. I had pushed these large dirt piles aside and smoothed it out real nice. Then the problem came when I tried to angle the blade. I tried to pull the pin that holds the blade at a certain angle and I couldnt get it to...

I recently purchased a york rake and i have been using it in my "Dirt Field" to clear out the small rocks and prep for seeding. I have noticed that it takes me a couple of passes to make the field look somewhat descent ie.. Cleaning out the rocks. Should it take this much time to clean out the...

I have a 9 gallon tank on my L35 and I know many other kubotas have even larger tanks. Now asides from the average farmer who probably has a tank installed at their house and has diesel delivered in a truck, how do all of the "other tractor owners" put gas in their tank? I have 3 5gallon jugs...

What is everyone's thoughts on the amount of Hp per acre in a rural landscape??

The tires on my L35 seem to be wearing down quite quickly. The rubber on them seems very soft and large chunks are missing mostly from the front tires. I was also considering changing the front tires to tires with a little more grip. The tires on the front now are specially for a TLB. Can I...

These past few days the cold fronts and warm fronts have collided over my state and have produced some frequent t-storms. Now they seem to appear unexpectedly and I always seem to be caught out in the middle of it. The tractor engine and ear protection prevents me from hearing those loud boomers...

I have read and heard about those buckets that can part in the middle and open up like a claw. They seem like one of the most useful implements I think I could get my hands on (if I can). I was wondering if anyone possibly knows where or how I can get one. Any info is appreciated- Thanks

Ok well here is my problem- On my L35 when the throttle is up about halfway and I am using the backhoe, when I swing the backhoe from a side to center it shakes uncontrollably. I have to wait about 10 sec before the things settles back down. I have checked the nuts and bolts- everything seems...

I need a descent size brushhog that will fit on a tractor with about 28 PTO HP. Does anyone know of any good companies and what size mower I should get? Any help would be appreciated- Thanx

Whenever I operate my backhoe on my L35 I always notice and unusual smell that comes to my nose. Does anyone know what it is?

Yesterday I moved the biggest rock with my L35. There was no way to fit it in the bucket but it stuck so it was perfectly balanced. The thing had to weigh over 2000 lbs and the loader is only designed to pick up 1500. At first I couldnt lift it on low rpm but i boosted it all the way and i could...

I have an L35 and I also have a large field about 6acres that was just cut. It has stumps in it about 20 in in diameter and I know an L35 could pull em eventually but I know it would take a great deal of time. Do you think I should hire someone or rent an excavator?
