My top link has either been bent slightly or seized up. Either way I need a new one. Kubota top links are over $200 which seems ridiculous. Will the top links TSC and other sell work just as well? I would think so, but wanted an opinion from here. THanks

I took the loader off my Kubota MX 5400 like I have done several times. Today when I put the loader back on everything worked fine, except the 4 in bucket would not open. I double checked my connections and everything seems good. What am I missing? Thank!

Thanks!!

Apparently the bushings/bearings have worn out. Can I buy just the hub or do I need to buy the whole tire and hub? Thanks!

Yes I was able to go up into a higher gear due to the soft ride as well.I have a heavy duty bucket as well maybe that’s the problem more than the loader itself. Thanks for the idea.

I bought a new Kabota MX 5400 last year. I really love the tractor but the ride was horrible. Every little bump seem to go through my spine. The other day I decided to take the loader off for some tight bush hog work. Immediately I can sense a much softer and gentler ride. I still feel the bumps...

No but thanks for the idea

Yes, Just very hard clay clods

Thanks I usually chisel plow and then go over with the disc.

I have clay soil with a lot of smaller rocks. I am beyond tired of dealing with clay clods. I've been thinking about a cultipacker. The reason it seem appealing is that I can pack, plant and then pack again without changing implements. Some of my food plot are further from my house than I care...

I have an older two row Flex 71 with plastic seed hoppers in good shape I want to sell. About how much are those units worth today, I am located in South Carolina. Thanks!!

I am thinking about buying this planter but don't know a lot about it. I want to make it a no till unit. The guys said I don't need to buy springs as it already has four "heavy duty" springs on ti which you can see in the picture if you enlarge it. Is that true? Or, do I need to buy the complete...

I sold my old tractor which had a 4 in 1 bucket. The new tractor also has a 4 in 1 bucket. My question is this. The new one has a ridge on the bottom, in the inside, about 10 inches back from the front lip or about in the middle. It runs from one side to the other. Is this normal? I thought the...

i just ordered an MX5400 which will be my fourth tractor. The first was a 8N, second a Kubota l3170 and my lastest a NH TC35D. Both the 3710 and NN have tilt steering wheels The NH has the loader joystick on the fender not on the loader. The NH has two pedals for the hydro transmission Why...

I'm thinking about buying a new MX 5400 can the dealer put the joystick on the fender and not where they usually put it? That area seems like a pain to operate.

I thinking about getting a new Kubota. I have a large dealer near me who is good. However, a friend said he bought one out of state for several thousand dollars less. What are the downsides if any buying from an OOS dealer? Thanks!

I'm thinking about selling my garage kept TC35D with about 1200 hrs. It is a nice machine with maintenance performed regularly and has a 4in1 bucket. It also is a hydrostatic model. Does anyone know a good ballpark range to price it? I live in SC if that helps any. I'm not sure of the year it...

Irma's wind blew down a stretch of wooden fencing. Apparently the 6" poles had rotted at ground level and the wind pushed her on over. The post were put in with cement, probably a bag per pole and I'm not sure if my 35hp with 4in1 bucket will pull them out. I already tried with a chain but it...

I know there has been some discussion on the steering lock problems with NH tractors. Mine will not lock and I intend to try and clean around the shock absorber. The problem is I don't know what to look for and what to lube one I get the two black panels off. Can someone tell me what I'm looking...

Hey guys I have a Flex 71 and planted some sunflowers two weeks ago with a two row planter. The problem I am seeing is gaps of a foot up to four foot without any germination. I planted at a pretty slow speed and did check for proper depth when I first began. A buddy came over tonight who is...

I have a NH TC35D with hydro transmission. It is time to change the fluid according to the manual. But, I have heard NH has came out and said not to change the fluid only if it is dirty etc. I do intend on changing the filter, but see no reason to replace the fluid if it looks good. What are...

TC35D 4wd question I see where you are familiar with problems regarding not being able to **** out of 4WD. My TC35D has slowly gotten to where it became harder and harder to shift out of 4WD. Yesterday, regardless of what I did, including raising the tractor with the FEL I cannot get it out of...

I noticed that my PTO is spinning even when I have it out of gear. It's not a fast spin, just a slow spin that I had not noticed before. Also, I read on here where someone had a 40 and the only repair was to split the rear end. I don't have $1700 to do the repair right now, will it hurt the...

I've noticed of late that my bushhog is not cutting cleanly the whole width. There is about a six inch strip on the right side that is not cut cleanly like the rest. Is this a result of dull blades, or something else? Thanks!

The fluid cooler that sits directly in front of the radiator is leaking. I'm not much of a mechanic, can anyone tell me how hard it is to replace that cooler? Also, why would the cooler have a leak when the tractor only has 650 hours? How does one clean the gunk off the radiator from the fluid...

Somehow I managed bend the pin on the rear wheel assembly. I believe the bushhog is a 2006 model. Can someone tell me how remove the spring pin in the rear? Thanks!

If it weren't for bad luck,I would not have any at all. My loader on my TC35D is acting up. The bucket will not curl in or out. The lift arms will go down, but when coming back up, stop at about the halfway point. The clamshell will open and close just fine, but that is the only part of the...

I've had the tractor for a year, but today I noticed this hose moving some as I was using the machine. Not sure if the lower end of the hose should be connected to something or not. The hose I'm referring to is the one in the picture that I have folded over to make it more visible. It is...

I sent my TC35D to the shop because the tractor was pulsating,lift arms would not hold the implements up when the tractor was turned off, with the implement lowering knob turned all the way closed. I was out of town when they brought it back. So yesterday, I got on it for the first time. The...

My tractor is in the shop for another problem. The dealer also says my cruise control magnet is shot. I need my tractor back soon and the shop is slammed so it may be a while before they can do the cruise control. For someone who has very little mechanical skills how hard is it to change out the...

I've got two problems with my TC35 I was wondering if you guys could shed some light on. Problem number one: The cruise control feature quit working the other day. The light is on in the switch,but when I press the switch the cruise does not kick in. Problem number two: At idle, I can feel...

Is there a way to make the PTO shaft free turning? I've only had my tractor a short period of time and I want to hitch up a tiller. But, it seems like that will be a major hassle, if I can't get the PTO to turn by hand for alignment. Thanks guys!

The attachment slip collar on my MX 6 broke. I hate slip collars, does anyone make a replacement pin style that would fit? Thanks!

The other day I was bushhogging and a strap of some kind got thrown around the pto bushhog coupling head. It apparently messed up the plastic or something as I can't get the shaft unhooked from the tractor. I can pull the coupler ring back, but it will not slip off the shaft. Any suggestions...

I purchased a TC35 back in the late summer. It has the hydro stat transmission. I love it but have to wonder whether it is normal for the tractor to lose, what seems to me like a lot of power going up small hills. If I put it in range 1 it does pretty good, but in range 2 it really seems to lose...

I managed to break the lower arm and cannot figure out how to remove the arm from the tractor. I see one small bolt with some kind of plate but, when I remove the bolt the plate didn't move. What am I missing here? Also, can the arm pieces be welded back, or do I have to buy a new one? Thanks!

The other day I had a leak at the connection for a hydo line at the bucket. I want to check the fluid level as the tractor now seems a little sluggish. The manual doesn't state whether the fluid should be cold or hot, I'm guessing cold, and also if it matter is lift arms etc should be in the...

I just bought a used 2003 TC35D hydro transmission, with 365 hours. The tractor is in great shape and I got a heck of a deal. There is only one problem, when I step on the break I get a chatter noise or a grinding type noise? Any idea what could be the cause with such low hours. The tractor has...

Currently I have a Kubota L3710 which I use to pull a 6ft. chisel plow, a 6ft disc and a bushhog of the same size. I'm looking at buying a NH TC35D which has a loader,as my tractor does not have one. How well do you think the 35 would pull my implements vs. the L3710. I know we are only talking...

I asked a buddy of mine to check out a tractor that is a good ways from my house and he is much closer. The tractor is a 2000 NH TC35 4WD with 1300 hrs. Upon inspection my buddy found the fluid to be very clean looking on the 4WD oil dipstick. What didn't make sense to him, is that the owner...

I presently have a Kubota L3710 but am looking at buying a used TC35 with a loader and 4in1 bucket. The attachment I mostly use are 5ft. scarifier/chisel plow, a 6ft. bushhog and a 6ft disc. For those of you who have a TC35 do you use implements similar in size to mine? If you do, how does the...

I'm looking at buying a used tractor. It is the 2002 NH TC35D. What does the D stand for? Also, the loader is a 16LA. Is the loader the biggest the tractor can handle? Thanks!

I'm located in SC and have a L3710, about an 04 model with 1300 hrs. This tractor is in pretty good shape. There is some light paint fade due to previous owner not garaging it and one L3710 decal is pealing off. The seat could be replaced, the tires are about 75%. The tractor has all fluids...

Can you put R4 tires on a tractor that presently has landscape tires and still use the same rim/wheel? Thanks!

My current tractor is an L3710 with 1290 hrs. Very good shape except for the seat is torn and has some fade. Also, it is the GST model. Recently, I found the exact same tractor at a dealer except it has 400 hrs and a Kubota front end loader. I'm thinking about buying this tractor since I need a...

I have a 2002 Kubota L3710 4x4 with about 1200 hours on it. The tractor is in good shape but I need a front end loader. My guess is the value of my tractor value is around $7,000 and a FEL would run about $5,000 installed. I would have to add another few grand to that if I want a four in one...

Back in 05 I bought a MX6 bush hog. Last week I hit a stump and knocked off the stump jumper and sheared a shaft. A local repair guy told me JD quit making replacement parts due to some problem they were having. Instead, I have to buy a whole new gear box and everything for a whopping $1500...

I believe the glow plug in my L3710 may be shot. When I crank the tractor in cold weather it takes quite some time for the tractor to start. Where is the glow plug located? How do I test it, and is this something someone with limited mechanical skills can repair? Thanks!

I need one for my Kubota L3710 and live in SC. If anyone happens to know where to look for a good used one,I'd appreciate a heads up. The local dealer says they rarely get used ones in. Thanks!

I'm thinking about putting one on my Kubota L3710. The local Kubota dealer carries Woods and Bushhog brands. How much negotiating room for a package installed do I have, if any? My guess is that in today's economic environment there should be room for a little play. Thanks!

I'm wanting to haul my 37hp Kubota which is 12 foot long, a bushog that is 6' not counting the rear wheel, a cultipacker which is 2' deep and a rototiller, 3' deep at once.:D From my calculations I'm about a foot short if I load them back to back on the trailer I'm thinking about buying. Would...

Recently I had about made up my mind to buy a 6' King Kutter rototiller for my potential food plot business. However, my neighbor who just bought a Woods 5' rototiller, has decided to sell his because he found a used 6 footer. The King Kutter I was looking at would run me about $1800. The guy...

Thanks!

I had a fellow come over with his huge hydraulic disc to do my fields while I over came knee surgery. The fields look great but I see some places where he left me a few places with a ridge and valleys off to the side. I just need to knock the crown down a few inches into the valleys to level...

And hopefully the last. In the manual it shows to adjust the depth on the planter you simply put out on a 2 pronged piece (adjustment stop) and turn to the proper hole. But...I cannot get the prong to pull out far enough to rotate the depth control cam. There is a round collar or sleeve within...

My JD 2 row flex just arrived and I have a couple of questions if you don't mind. The first is, do I need depth bands? My land is mostly clay and uneven in a lot of areas. The second question concerns the use of the planter on slight slopes. Will the slope of the land cause me any difficulties...

I'm thinking about buying a JD 7000 with the no-till coulters which weighs around 1500 lbs. My Kubota is the L3710 with 4x4 and suitcase weights on the front. Myself and another guy "think" the 3710 can handle it but just wanted another opinion or two. Thanks!

I've been looking at the Flex 71 planters. The problem though is I cannot find fertilizer hoppers. With me going into the foodplot business I believe I'm going to need hoppers,especially with fertizilizer prices being so high. It would be a huge waste to broadcast the stuff. You have any...

When I retire this year at the ripe ol age of 50, I'm probably going into the food plot business. Here is my question. I live in the middle of SC which is not a huge state. But, how do I charge for mileage say outside of a 30 mile radius? I need to make enough to cover fuel expenses...

I'm going into the food plot business and will need to haul as much equipment as possible at one time. Being almost to the point of stupid about trailers I'm in dire need of some suggestions if you will. Here is the deal. I have a 2500 HD 4x4 GMC with the gas six liter engine.In the worst case...

I have a JD MX6 and too hook up to the pto is a nightmare. It is of the pull push type and I do lube the splines. Still sometime it can be a bear. Does anyone make a locking collar that I can replace the factory one with? Thanks!

I'm leaning toward buying a rototiller for my 37hp Kubota. I've read here that the KK is the one to buy for my food plot business. Just curious how well they work in land that has a fair amount of rocks softball size down. Thanks!

I see there is about an $800 difference in the two row models on Ebay. The JD 7000 is supposedly set up for no- till. Is the 7000 worth the extra expense? Thanks!

Are they two different types of equipment? I want to plant some deer food plots and overseed some pastures. Just curious if there is one implement to do it all? Thanks!

I have a Kubota 37hp with 4x4, just curious if the tractor can pull a 4 row planter without any serious problems? Thanks!

I'm thinking about buying a Kasco 6' no-til drill to use with my 37 hp. Kubota. The drill cost around $8500 new and my tractor is a 2002 which I paid $10,000 for. If someone wanted some food plots planted or pastures reseeded how do I determine the hourly rate? Also would the rate be the same...

I'm looking at buying a skid to mainly run a mulching machine. Just curious how the Komatsu brand compares and holds up to others such as Cat and Bobcat? Thanks!

I'm considering buying a Cat skidsteer with around 80hp to run a brush mulching head on as part of a new landclearing business. Yesterday while talking to a Cat sales rep he cautioned me about using the Cat skidsteer mainly as a mulching tool. He claimed that the RPM's needed to run the head...

48" mower more than the 50"??? I am confused.

I'm thinking about buying one and haven't seen any mention of them. Anyone have any thoughts?? Thanks!

I am looking at buying a FEL with 4 in 1 bucket for my Kubota L3710, however, I have no clue as to the best make, or how to find a good price on one. If someone could steer me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Thanks!

I have a 6' Bushhog Squealer that the top is rusted out. A trusted welder told me he didn't think the unit could be repaired at a reasonable cost. With that being the case I don't want it just laying around the farm. The gear box, rear wheel etc are in good shape. What could I get for the thing...

I have looked at the Bushhog, Woods and other brands. The only one I seem to have looked over, until today, was the John Deer. The LX6 or MX6 look like good machines and priced comparable to other brands. I don't much about their reliability etc and was wondering if someone could tell me a bit...

I want to buy a 72" medium duty bushhog. Problem is they are rate for 40hp and above. My Kubota is 37hp. With the minimal difference in horsepower is buying the 72" a big no-no? Thanks!

Does anyone know if they have a web site? I have scoured the internet with no luck. Thanks!

I am looking at a set of disc, for my 37 hp Kubota that weight 845 lbs with 20, 18" disc. I like the set except that to adjust the angle you have to remove a bolt. For various reasons I adjust my current set quite often and to do so all I have to do is remove a pin. Could I replace the bolt with...

The boss has given me tentative permission to buy a loader for the 3710. Could you guys give me some good brand names and features to look for. Also some idea on cost. Thanks!

Having been a member here for a short while I quickly learned there are some very knowledgeable folks here. So, who better to turn to than this site. I am pretty sure that my roof is going to need a re-shingle job in the not so distant future. After some consideration we are going to opt for the...

Getting ready to repaint my barn which mostly has T11 siding. I live in the south where we have a lot of mildew, so I wanted something that would be easy to clean or would prevent mildew. I am not necessarily looking for the cheapest pain, as I don't want to have to do this again. Thanks!!

My Speedco quick hitch will fit all my implements but the chisel plow. If I could find a floating link similar to the one on my bushhog I would be in great shape. I thought about going to the Bushhog dealer and getting one but there's is much wider than the one I need. After scouring the web I...

I need a good harrow to smooth out my deer plots. I have tried telephone poles etc but the problem is my land has a lot of dips and depressions so a stiff flat tool does not work good as it skips around a lot. I thought about a chain type harrow but also have a lot of small rocks. Would a heavy...

I checked my Kubota L3710 GST sight glass last weekend and the fluid level was low. Well, the Kubota dealership was closed as it was a Sunday, so I went to Tractor Supply and bought some of their hyd/tranny fluid which stated it could be used in place of Kubota UDT. I poured about a gallon in...

I just had to put close to a gallon of hydraulic, tranny oil in my 2000 GST L3710. When the dealer brough it out to me, three weeks ago, the glass was about 3/4 to half filled with oil. I assumed since this was hydraulic/tranny oil the consumption would be very low and did not pay close...

I just bought my L3710 and have a question about the glide shifting. When pulling the bushhog or just riding down the road it shifts just fine. Yesterday I decided to do some discing with my little five foot disc set and noticed that the tractor did not shift as smoothly when pulling the disc...

I need to plant some food plots and have about 10 acres I will need to spray. Any of you fellas have an ATV sprayer that you really like? Thanks!

My Kubota does not have draft control is that something that can be added? I doubt it can be but wanted to make sure. Thanks!

The tractor I just bought has been sitting outside. The plastic dash panels have faded some and I need to see if anyone knows a way to restore or paint those panels? Also, where can I find the grey that Kabota uses other than a dealer? Thanks!!

I just bought me a L3710 and love it!! The only thing I don't like is the exhaust fumes that blow back to the drivers seat. Anyone know if there is a conversion kit or have an idea to put the exhaust further back or under the tractor? I'd rather smell fresh cut fescue than diesel exhaust all...

am getting closer to making an offer on a Kubota GST L3710 I have not seen. The sales guy at the dealership is 100% trustworthy so I have no qualms about buying this thing sight unseen. The tractor is a 1999 model with 450 hours, without a FEL. The trator was used for light bush hogging and...

One of my local dealers has one on the lot with around 450 hrs. I have not seen it yet but he says it is in good condition. For those of you who own one, what do you like and dislike about them? What, if any, problem areas should I look for in checking this machine out? Thanks!

I am thinking about buying a 231S or a 451. Is there a way to run the exhaust under the tractor or modify the exhaust so the pipe is not sticking straight up? My deer food plots are in the woods and the upright exhaust may be a considerable issue. The dealer said he was not sure.Thanks!

I checked out the 231S at my dealer today but he did not have the 451 on the lot. Anyone have any experience with the two? Curious about how much better one is over the other since there seems to be about a $2500 difference. I understand the horsepower difference etc, just curious as to...

Can someone explain the difference and if one type is significantly better than the other? Thanks!

Can a Century dealer perform warranty work on a Branson? I have a great Branson price but don't like the dealer. Thanks

First I was way off on the price of a new tractor. Then I explain such to the boss(wife) and she says no problem, look at new!WHOA!! Which leads me to a few questions. After tire kicking some I was quoted $12,500 on a Branson 40hp tractor and $14,900 on the Century 40hp. from two dealers who...

Is five more horsepower. My local Century dealer quoted me $11,500 on a new 2003 model 2535. The price on a 2004 model 3040 was $14,500. Aside from the year model difference we are only talking 5 hp difference. Is it of that much value to have the extra hp?? I am currently using an 8N Ford so I...

5 more horsepower that is. My local Century dealer quoted me $11,500 on a new 2003 model 2535. The price on a 2004 model 3040 was $14,500. Aside from the year model difference we are only talking 5 hp difference. Is it of that much value to have the extra hp?? I am currently using an 8N Ford so...

We bought a small 40 acre farm last year in SC. I bought an 8N Ford to start things off in order to maintain the place. Now I am wanting to move up a notch. Here is my situation. Most of my land is horse pasture which I keep bush hogged, but I do plant about 10 acres for deer food plots. I was...
