I recently did the 200hr hydraulic fluid change on my L2800, and the FEL now seems a little weaker. I am wondering if I don't have the correct fluid level. The gauge that shows fluid level is incredibly hard to see, and I can't tell if there is too much or not enough fluid in the system. What...

I bought a Craftsman lawn tractor two years ago, and the battery is dead. Is it normal for these batteries to only last a short time? This is our first riding mower, and any advice about maintaining the battery would be helpful!

I'm looking for Ford/NH blue paint. I know Kubota orange is the same as Chevrolet Engine Orange, and it is available at most auto parts stores. Is there something similar for Ford blue? I'd rather not have to go to the NH dealer to buy paint if I can find it at WalMart....... Thanks for any...

I am looking at buying a used Dearborn 2 bottom plow, and I would appreciate any comments/opinions on this brand. I have heard that the older Ford and Ferguson brands are "better" than the new ones like TSC sells, but I don't know anything about the Dearborn brand or plows in general. It seems...

I'd like some info on how to use my 5'BB to scrape out a pond. I have been getting dirt from a low place to use around my new pole barn, and decided to make a small pond (in East Texas it's a "pool") out of the hole I've made. I have been scraping with the BB and then using the FEL to pick up...

I am building a barn for my Kubota L2800, and I will be renting a 3pt PHD to dig the post holes. I will be digging in sand/clay soil, not close to trees, and I want to put my 4"X6" posts 3' in the ground. Do I need a 9" or 12" auger? Also, I'd like to hear any tips, hints, or info on how to...

Today I experienced my first flat on my Kubota L2800. What a great way to spend the day. First, I let the remaining air out of the tire, put Slime in the flat tire, and discovered that the weight of the tractor had made the tire come loose from the wheel. I never knew I had to JACK the...

My neighbor has several brush piles that will not burn due to the large amount of dirt in them. These are piles that a dozer left when it scraped his field and pushed all the spoils, including the dirt, into long rows. He is looking for a fork for the FEL so that he can lift the brush and...

My Kubota L2800 came from the dealer with the pins on the box blade attached pointing to the inside of the frame, instead of the outside, like my shredder. Dealer told me that the BB would hold a straighter line if the 3pt arms were connected like that. Is that true?? I am wondering if it is...

I was at TSC today buying a CarryAll. When I went into the yard to pick it up, there was a red CarryAll discounted to $50 from the $76 regular price. No difference, just the color. Salesman told me the red ones were last year's model and were being replaced by the new mustard yellow color...

I have 5 acres that has a moderate amount of Coastal Bermuda mixed with Bahia, along with lots of wild berry vines and other weeds. Any advice on getting rid of the weeds? Should I use RoundUp, 2-4D, or another herbicide and then overseed, or should I disc it all up and just start over with a...

I am having trouble getting my BB to work like I want. It doesn't seem to raise high enough -- only about 12" off the ground in back, and I wonder if changing the top link to connect either higher/lower to the back of the tractor will help. It is now attached at the top of the 3 holes. Would...

My new L2800DT w/FEL, 5' shredder, and 5' box blade arrived this week. It was too wet from the rains to do anything serious, so I just drove it around making big ruts in the mud. My truck did get stuck in the mud and I used my new toy to pull it out--the tractor's first job!! Thanks to TBN...

I am looking for info on Kubota's insurance for a new tractor purchase. I have found Kubota's policy to be much cheaper than my car/house insurance company, but I am wondering if anyone has had to deal with Kubota insurance for stolen/vandalized equipment. Any high deductibles, $$ limits or...
