    ISO general advice on adding remotes to '97 Kubota 4850

    I've got a '97 Kubota 4850, with EverClutch hydraulic shuttle shift. I love this tractor, but it has zero hydraulic remotes and no second function on the loader. I'd like to add both, but don't know enough about the details to know where to start. I want two sets of remotes to be able to run...

    Advice on SSQA conversion L4850

    I got a really nice used L4850 with FEL last fall, and am totally loving this tractor! However, it has a pin-style loader bucket attachment, and I want to change this to a SSQA, so I can use my nice forks from my skid steer, as well as other attachments. I have a friend who is a union pipe...

    SSQA adapter for L4850 with LA950 fel?

    I'm wanting to adapt my '97 fel to SSQA so I can use my forks etc from my Bobcat. I have a guy that pmed me on a FB group that says he fabs them and would make me one for $500 including shipping. That seems like a heck of a deal and I'm wondering if it's too good of a deal 😉. .. How important...

    PTO types clarification??

    I'm about to go pick up a 97 Kubota L4850 EC (hydraulic shuttle shift). One last thing I'm wanting to figure out before making the long trip and purchase is to know more details of the PTO setup that I'm purchasing. I'm a little confused about terminology, and just want some...

    Best way to ship an L4850 with LA950A loader?

    I'm trying to find the best way to have a tractor plus loader shipped from 600 mi away. I just did a fr8star load up for bids, but had to estimate on added weight (added 1500lbs) and length (added 3') of the loader. Tractordata has dimensions for the base tractor but nothing for the loader...

    First of all, I want to say how much I appreciate everyone giving their advice to my many questions as I keep looking for an ideal tractor to buy. If I'm overstaying my welcome in this forum, someone just let me know and I'll shut up 😉. What is the deal with Tier4 emissions that everyone's...

    Thoughts on GST transmissions

    I'm looking hard at an L5030 that has the GST transmission. Our local Kubota dealership salesman told me that GST wasn't the best transmission but then kinda evaded further comment on it besides it being harder and more expensive to work on if something breaks. Is this something to be...

    90's era kubotas better built? Also parts prices question

    So as I'm rabidly searching for a used kubota, a friend of mine who I trust on machines says that the newer kubotas are not made as well as the 80's and 90's era Kubotas, and that I should specifically look for one of that age versus the early 2000's which is what I've been focusing on. Is...

    M vs. L series in 45-60 HP range

    I've been looking for a used Kubota to upgrade from my old Ferguson to35 that is accumulating too many problems. I'm wanting something a little more powerful to run my flail mower without bogging down, possibility of haying in the future, and strong 3pt to lift those occasional loads that my...

    How hard to change a cab to a rops on M4900?

    I just missed buying a great M4900 in my area just now, but there's another one in the area that has a cab for a similar price, just 2k hrs vs 1k hrs. I really don't want a cab because I'll be doing a lot of work around trees. How hard is it to convert a cab setup to a rops? TIA

    any ideas on what my Zetor 5211 with Leon 590 loader is worth?

    I bought a '94 Zetor 5211 last year to replace my old Ferguson TO-35, mostly because I always wanted a tractor with a loader. It's turning out to be way bigger and heavier than I like for what I do around the small farm we have and I am not a big fan of the loader, mostly because I have access...

    Need help IDing this skidsteer--anyone know what it is?

    Hey, I am considering trading my Zetor 5211 with Leon 590 loader for this skidsteer (see pics below). Since it's been painted and I don't have much knowledge of skidsteers I wanted to see if any of you know what it is or might be. I'm particularly interested in knowing what it's working load...

    Do I need a slip clutch?

    Someone told me I should get a slip clutch to prevent damage to my tractor's transmission if my pto powered implement would bind up on something. I have mostly old, very used implements and an old, very used MF TO-35 tractor. But it still runs really well considering! I've seen slip clutches...

    Flail Mower  flail mower questions

    Hey, last year I bought a (very) used 6' flail mower from a local craigslist ad. I'd been keeping my eyes out for one for a while and no one I asked really had any experience or knowledge of them. Well, $300 seemed like a steal for this thing, it must be a retired roadcrew mower--very heavy...
