kubota l3540

I have an L3540 Hydrostatic 4 wheel drive tractor, have had it maybe 8-9 years. This problem seems new or has been slowly getting worse and I'm just starting to notice it.. When I have a mower on and either going on flat land or downhill it seems to be fine, BUT on even a slight upgrade I seem...

2008-ish Kubota L3540 HST with 723 loader. Theres a long back-story. Tractor came to us by a lock-stock&barrel purchase of some farm-land. It was sitting in the bush for at least the last 10 years, and the (5 years ago deceased) previous owner left the tractor in the corner of the yard...

Ok, I have a Kubota L3540 HST with loader. Changed the trans/hydraulic fluid and filters today. Followed my manual to the letter, drained the system, R&R both filters, the book says it takes 11.1 gallons of fluid, I put in 10 gallons and the dipstick says I'm quite a bit overfilled. Let it run...

I have a 2012 kubota l3540, hst, cab & loader. What have these tractors been selling for?

This has happened half dozen times in the 1k hours I’ve put on my machine. I can’t figure out what holds this fitting going to fuel pump in. A certain orientation maybe or is it pressed in and not even supposed to swivel? Once I push it back in it eventually vibrates apart and I’m over it. I...

I noticed last night that the head lights weren't working and found the fuse blown. I replaced it and it immediately blew, so I figured there was a short somewhere. Today I removed the console covers so I could get access to all the connectors and switches in the dash. I disconnected all the...

L3540 - YouTube Please check out the quick video that shows hydro fluid steadily dripping out near one if the valves. All fitting are tight and it just started happening over the last few weeks. This summer I had a Kubota tech work on the tractor including removing the rear third function valve...

Something must be wrong in the safety switches - I push on the HST pedal a bit and it cuts out. I try to turn on the PTO (experimenting) and it cuts out. It runs fine and hydraulics work but it is useless sitting in my shed. I took apart the seat switch (thought that may be it) and I see that...

So how do I reset the "service inspect" on my dash, I know I've reset it before after service but I cant find reference to it in my manual OR shop manual!! So If you know how , tell me, and if you know where it is in my manual let me know so I can highlight it, Thanks!

I am trying to put on my hydraulic tilt lift arm - but can't get the old one off. I've sprayed in some Kroil to see if it would loosen up and make it clear what I do next - obviously that didn't work. 1. Is it threaded in? As the head is mostly round, how do I grip it effectively to...

We closed on about 11 acres of land recently. Plan to build a barn and house in the near future. Most of the property will be for our horses. It's mostly grass and was either used for hay or cow pasture in recent years. Has part of a large 10 acre pond on our side of the property. Have been...

Greetings gentlemen, I need to change my belt before winter sets in. Replacing the belt looks to be routine, there looks to be room to feed the new belt around the fan blades.My question is removal of the ac belt, there does not seem to be an idler to release the tension on the ac belt? Whats...

I recently put a seal kit into the steering valve on my customer's Kubota L3540 HSTC-3. I match marked the sections, disassembled, cleaned, and carefully reassembled. When I installed the valve, and started the tractor, once the steering wheel is touched it started vibrating violently and turned...

Had someone that I know call me to ask if I wanted to buy a like new BH77 backhoe for my 3540. I beleive that it came off of a smaller tractor and at this time, I dont think that it comes as a complete kit, Just the backhoe itself. What else will I need to buy to make this work?

Hello all, I'm just getting back into owning and operating a machine, haven't had one in a few years. I just this week picked up a used grand l3540 with 300 hours in very good shape and other than normal maintenance like an oil change etc is there anything else you'd recommend doing? I picked up...

Hey all, I have recently developed a cracked hydraulic line that seems to originate from a plug on the bottom of the tractor that weaves its way to the front of the tractor that I can't see without alot more investigating. I will post a picture later but I was reaching out to see if anyone...

Hello, I have a Grand L3540 and need advice on what to purchase to control the chute rotation on a 3ph snowthrower with hydraulic rotation. I have the hydraulics for my backhoe but I'm not sure how or what I would need to put between the rear hydraulics (normally used for the backhoe) and the...

I'm looking at a 2010 L3540 HST, LA724 loader with quick connect bucket, a Buhler farm king 8' back blade. 600hrs. Not a cab tractor. It's been kept inside and meticulously taken care of. Looks nearly new with no paint fading. The asking price is $22,500 and a complete set of new ag tires...

I have a L3560 HSTC tractor and am surprised at how much the road speed drops going up a slight incline. It has industrial tires, and on the level will take a bit of time to get up to 13 or 14 mph and that is top speed unless going down hill. On a slight grade it can drop back to 9 mph or...

Hey fellas I've been looking into a rear blower for my tractor and I'd like to see if you guys think my tractor could handle a 74" sized blower? This is what my local dealer is saying for size. I spent 15 hrs in my tractor with this last snowstorm plowing and i have finally talked myself into...

I need to replace the front turfs on my 3540, Who has the best prices on these tires in new england?

In planning for the purchase of a loader for a Kubots L3540 I would be interested in the opinon of others as to the best available. The Kubota LA724 or the Rhino equivalent are possible. Are there others?

Kubota recommends this procedure @ 800 hours. I have 1000 hours and have not done this. How crutial is this adjustment, am i putting my engine in jepordy? Thanks as always gentlemen!

Friends L3540 starves for fuel sometimes. At one point it really bogged down and stalled. The Fuel Filter is replaced once a year and it looked clear when the Stall happened. We pulled the Fuel line off from Filter to Tank. almost no fuel ran out. We back blew the line and now tractor is...

I just installed a stack of 3 valves on my L3540 with the center one being a FD valve (L8309). When trying to use the FD valve towards the rear, it works smoothly. When I push it forward toward the detent but not in the detent, the tractor labors and the cylinder hooked to that outlet moves...

Well looking for my next implement a disc... found a nice Howse 8' unit used for a good price, but I'm wondering if its too big for my Kubota L3540? Mostly sandy soil, not much in the way of rocks or clay. Also, a guy has a couple 6 footers that fold in the middle, so the rear gang of discs...

Was mowing today and noticed that the tractor wouldn't achieve much speed in M low or M high. RPMs would bog way down when peddle was pressed. Giving more throttle didn't help. In fact, tractor seemed slightly starved for fuel. Idle was around 500 RPMs rather than the usual 800 or so. Full...

Hi Everyone, I found this forum while trying to find info on Kubotas. Long story short: My dad recently and unexpectedly passed away leaving me with all his stuff. He was the owner of a Kubota and loved the thing (as I'm sure you can appreciate). Although I think it is an awesome piece of...

I have a Kubota L3540 just had front axel redone at dealers. Got it back and when it warms up it only goes in reverse. Let it sit overnight and it is good for a bit. Does any body no what's going on and how to fix it. Dealer said its nothing to do with them.

Been a long time coming but I finally got a backhoe for our L3540. I chose the Woods BH80x for a few reasons; I wanted a hydraulic thumb, the price and USA made. While I am sure the Kubota BH92 would have been spectacular it is much more expensive and it weights a bunch more. It does look like a...

Running into a problem with hst losing power Driving I notice it's shifting a lot from fast to slow, almost like someone left a brake on the first click Big difference when pulling the cultivator or running loader and driving, I'd say I lost right now about 30% of my power , now I know people...

2009 120 hours, LA514 loader QA bucket, 5' brush hog, 5' box blade, rear remote. Looks like its spent some time outside in Florida with some light fading. Just realized there is a typo in my subject - It's a 3240 NOT a 3540. Price is $17500. Let me know if you have any feedback, thanks!

Ok Kubota L3540 HST with the LA724 loader.350ish hours All seemed fine earlier today, but at the end of the day the loader did not want to go down. Up, dump, and roll back all seems fine, just barely will go down. Almost seems more mechanical than hydraulic. If I push forward normally on the...

Planning to purchase loader for L3540. I would appreciate thoughts on The Kubota L724 vs the Rhino 1590.

Looking for a B3030 or an L3240 or an L3540 with cab and front end loader preferably somewhere in the Northeast. I will be shipping to Canada. Please let me know if you have one you would like to sell.

I also posted this over on Orange tractor - I'm looking for photos of a Grand L3540 / LA724 loader with the Kubota Backhoe subframe mounted. I have a project of converting my 3pt hitch backhoe to a subframe mounted unit. I bought a BH4996 subframe kit off of eBay. Kubota calls for the BH4996A...

My machine is stalling at random, not a whole lot but enough to make me wonder why? Machine is a 2008 with 1000 hours. It stalled a couple times last winter moving snow, and has stalled 3 or 4 times this season. It does not seem to be triggered by being under a serious load, just driving along...

Hi just bought a kubota l3540 love the tractor works great used it to move round bales and all but just wondering how good do they start in the winter cuz I'm Plowing with mine so I need to know any help welcome thx

My loader control is out of adjustment. Smooth control of bucket is nearly impossible & you can't engage the joystick slide lock. My Kubota manual doesn't cover adjustment procedure. My solution was to adjust the two small cable end links in order to allow smooth engagement of the joystick...

I posted this in the Kubota forum but only got one reply (which I appreciate ) but I'd like to get some more thoughts on it. Ok... In Jan. I purchased a new L3540 cab with the LA724 loader and R4 tires (loaded in the rear). I had 3 rear remotes..... 2 with float and the 3rd fuction valve on...

Ok... In Jan. I purchased a new L3540 cab with the LA724 loader and R4 tires (loaded in the rear). I had 3 rear remotes..... 2 with float and the 3rd fuction valve on the front installed at the time of purchase. I had the rear wiper and radio added and new front and rear 36w LED lights (very...

I have a line on a Danuser F8. It looks a little rough but is said to be in great working order. I checked online and the gearbox is rated for a 40-80 HP tractor. Will I be able to run this on a Kubota L3540. Also, When I get there, what are the suggestions for looking it over? Thank you.

Was wondering if anyone out there could say if this is a good price for a Kubota L3540 HST. It has a loader, cab with all the bells and whistles and a blower with 4 rear remotes with 180 hours use on it. It's a 2012 and he's asking 30.000.00. He tells me he paid 40 thousand for it last year. It...

Just took delivery of this L3540 GST with one hour on the meter. I looked at the 60 series but for less money decided to go with the proven engine. This puppy is going to do some mowing of some tight trails with a Land Pride 1860 cutter.

I have a L3540 Cab tractor with the electric defrost in the rear and corner glass. The tractor is used for snowblowing, and often times the snow is blowing back on you so the heated glass is a must to keep the snow melted and keep it for fogging up inside. The problem is that the power switch...

I'm wondering if a Woods 84HB is to big for my L3540? I found on fairly new one for a nice price but just thinking is might be to much for that size machine. Please let me know what you think.

Have 5+ years on my battery, want to plan for replacement. Printed on oem battery NX110-5MF, 80D26R, 582CCA. What 'group' number have you guys used as replacement on these models with no modifications? Thanks. Philip.

I have noticed with my L3540 that when it is cold it has a hard time turning over. It stays in my garage where the temps have been around 40 degrees. It seems like the battery is weak. The tractor is 15 months old. Everything else I have started fine. Should I put a slow charge on the...

hi, I'm sneaking in here from the Coyote forum. I'm looking at an L3540,, 2010, without a loader. What does it take, aside from the loader ( LA514) to install the loader? They mention a quick attach coupler, optional, J2513, what is that and is it needed? It seems the loader cont4rol and...

Since 2 years now, I own a L3540 HSTC with a Kubota cab. What my dealer advised me not to do, append yesterday; I just burst my cab door-window, while moving a few feet forward with the cab door open :mad: %&?%(%( So that this issue wont append again, I tought installing a door switch connected...

Hi all, This is my first post (and a long one) having joined the list to better educate myself on the most appropriate tractor for our needs over the long run. I mean that literally, has anyone succeeding in buying a tractor at 50 that met their needs until retirement and beyond? ?r are the...

Just wanted to share my experience of changeing the Hydro & HST filters on my Grand L 3540, it had 47.9 hours on the clock. I wanted to do the 50 hour before the weather changed for the worst up here in the Great North East. So I Ordered all the Kubota OEM filters from Messick's and shipping...

So here is my situation. I am trying to decide on a new deere 3520 open station with 300cx or a used Kubota l3540 with cab and 100 hours on the meter. Both priced at 26k. Opinions please.

I have a big choice to make. Both tractors are ready to be picked up and I can choose either dealership. The costs of both tractors will be about the same. So price is not a consideration. I have read that lift capacity on the Kioti 45DK is about 2700 lbs and the Kubota dealer told me that...

Just want to make sure i am maximizing the potential of the 3540, what is the largest- Disk/Bush Hog/Box/ 2 row turning plow it can run? R4 tires are unfilled and is HST and has FEL. Prior tractor was Massey 255, heavy 53hp, 2 wd non loader. Main use will be green field prep, plowing ...

I just purchased a low hrs L3540. When I changed the oil [which appeared quite dirty] something puzzling happened. When I pulled the two drain plugs the oil ran out very slowly. However, when I pulled the dipstick, it then ran freely like you'd expect. It acted as though the crankcase wasn't...

Hello everyone! I went and looked at a 2011 L3540 HSTC with a 734 loader and 51 hrs. It looks new! The only problem is I was checking new price with mid PTO and a 72 mower and I found that you can't have the mower with the R4 tires which this tractor has? I would need to install the Mid PTO too...

Hi, I have a 66 inch quick attach bucket now but want to buy another one to put my toothbar on because it would be easier to switch buckets than to take TB on and off when needed. Where is a good place to buy and how much should I expect to pay for a OEM kubota bucket. Thanks

Newbie here looking for opinions on a B26 or L3540.I understand that these are two total different machines.I believe both tractors are 2011.The B26 has 256 hrs and is from a dealer.The L3540 has a little over 1000 hrs and is a private seller.Asking price for B26 is 27,500 the L3540 is...

Howdy, Just took delivery of a brand new L3540 HST. What a beautiful machine! Couldn't be happier! I haven't done a whole lot with it so far as I'm waiting on a grapple to show up, but I have done a little driving around and pushing piles of brush, etc. I've noticed that there's a clicking...

I have a discussion going in pricing, but thought I would seek some additional advice. I own a B3200 HST at home, at work we have a L3940 HST, both have loaders, I much much prefer the 3940, but wife loves the b3200 her first tractor experience, she loves to mow with it. The 3940 is...

Recently discovered my L3540 with 250 hours has about a 2.5 inch crack on the lower black plastic portion of the roof over the door. Anybody patched one with jb weld or a similar product and how were the results.

Well folks, my tractor came in at the dealer. Waiting for the loader and grapple to come in next week. woo-hoo! What do you guys think that the realistic weight on the tractor and loader will be. I have a 18' dovetail 7000 lb. trailer and don't know if that will be enough trailer. I'm seldom...

Is 900lbs too much weight to keep on the tractor when not doing any heavy FEL work? The tires are not loaded and I have the LA724 FEL with the 72" HD round back bucket with bolt on cutting edge. The FEL is always mounted. Whats a guesstimate on how much weight I should use when scooping a full...

I believe I've made up my mind to order a new Kubota L3540HST 37hp w/R4 tires this week. I'm going with the 724 loader and I think it comes with a 72" bucket and WR Long 3rd valve on the loader. I'll also buy forks and either make a spear or get one that will attach to the forks or just buy a...

My new L3540 and box blade arrived at the dealer today. Hopefully I'll have it delivered by the weekend. Still waiting on the core aerator and will probably be adding a 5ft Landpride rotary cutter. I sold my B2920 about a month ago and have been without a tractor since. Very excited. I...

Here are a few pictures of my new tractor. All I can say is WOW! Traded in my B3030 and Bobcat mini ex for it. So far its great. Can't wait to get it dirty.

I swapped the back hoe for the 3-pt and box blade a couple days ago and was smoothing part of the driveway when the lever that controls the 3-pt height went slack and almost dropped through the slot in the cover had it not been for the rubber "knob" on the end. By pulling the lever back up and...

Does anyone know the overall length of an L3540 or L3800 with the FEL down and a BH77/92 attached in the transport position? Thanks

I'm putting my '08 L3540 w/ HST, QA, LA724 and the larger bucket to go with it. The machine has 199hrs on it and has been parked outside (gasp :ashamed:). What would be a fair price to move this machine for? I've seen a lot of ad's on tractorhouse (?) selling for the $19k range, but those...

Hi all. I've had my L3540 for a couple of years now but always found the hydraulics a bit weak and would like to check if the pressure is within spec. I've seen posts for other models here but have not yet found any that say what the pressure should be for my particular model. Does anyone have...

I thought we had decided on the Kubota, until the 4% price increase. After talking to an LS dealer, who used to be a JD dealer, at the farm show, I'm not sure anymore. The LS has more hp,weight, better warranty, more extras, and better pricing, etc. Any advice for a new tractor buyer?

I thought we had decided on the Kubota, until the price increase, but after talking to an LS dealer (who used to be a JD dealer) at the farm show, we're leaning toward the LS. The LS has more hp, weight, extras,warranty, better pricing, etc. Any advice?

Price $25800 less $1000 promo on tractor and possibly less $500 promo on loader if still offered. What do you think? Thankd Don

Anyone have any idea why my engine would run fine for varying lengths of time and then slowly loose power and rpm's until it stalls. It does this even when parked in neutral with no pto or any load on the engine. I checked inside the fuel tank for anything foreign that could restrict fuel flow...

Hi Guys, Working on a new kubota, trading up from my BX2200. Dealer has a L3540, in the crate from 2010. Says it is a 3 series. Claims to have all the upgrades as any new L3540. Anyone out able to comfirm his claim? What kindof discount should I be looking at for a year old machine (still...

I bought a Bearcat SC5540B chipper for my tractor today and it works great, but on several instances the tractor shut down without warning as if a safety switch is kicking in. I followed the owners manual procedures on running the pto while out of the cab and I checked the electrical...

Does anyone have a feel if the Kubota GL3540 can easily handle a 6' Landpride rcr 1872 rotary cutter? Going by the 5hp at the PTO/foot of cutter it would appear to be too large? Pretty sure the GL3540 has 28 @ the PTO in hydrostat transmission. Didn't know if anyone might have any experience...

New to the forum and buying my first tractor, so this newbie could use some advice... Think I have it narrowed down to the 2 models listed above--looking at about a $2800 upgrade for the Grand L3540. The 3800 would suit my needs fine, but for the extra $ I like the add'l capabilities of the...

I think I have settled on the Grand L series for a tractor. But can't find a used one anywhere close to me at or under 19K. Hoping someone might know of one close to Nashville, TN. I would be good with a L3240 but would go bigger if the price was right. Best I have found are 6 to 7 hours...

Can I run a 3pt wood chipper 6" without worry for lack of PTO HP..Or does it have sufficient amount to do the job? Also for use of operating in a lot of timber /field mix doing work on wildlife food plots, and managing stands of hardwoods/brush clean up & occasional snow removal; will the...

Here goes my first post. I was bush hogging with my L3540 last night. I ran over some brances from some trees that had been cut down. One wedged under the tractor on the left side almost under my left foot. The tractor stalled out. I dis-engaged the pto and the tractor would not start. My...

I have had a BX 25 for 3 years now and apsolutely loved it but wanted a cab for comfort. After reading hours of threads of information on tractors I upgraded 3 times prior to making my final decision over a 30 day period, my dealer was great to put up with me, he actually ordered 2 backhoes for...

Hello from Nova Scotia, I hope its OK to ask advise on a first post but I need some expert advise on a new Kubota. Started out 10 years ago with my first tractor, a B7500 and it was great. Upgraded 2 years ago to a B7800, also great. After a cold, snowy winter decided I need a cab. Local dealer...

I plan to do an oil and filter change on my L3540. The digital service indicator is on at just over 100 hours now and I was wondering how to reset it after the oil change. I looked thru my owners manual and could not find the procedure. I think I probably just disconnect the battery for a...

Can any owners of the L3240 or the L3540 please tell me the height of the tractor from ground to the folded rops? Let me explain why I need to know. Wondering if the Grand L's 3240/3540 would fit in a standard size garage door so of course it could be under cover?:confused: DevilDog

Hi All, Very new to tractors and this is my first post. I just bought a used Kubota L3540 with LA724 Loader with Quick attach bucket, BH90 Backhoe, and Gearmore Top and Tilt BB 72 Box Scraper. I need to dig many post holes for a pasture fence, 6" lodgepole posts. I found a used McMillen...

I purchased a brand new L3540 with cab about 2 months ago, and so far I love it, but I have one question I was hoping someone could answer. Recently I was using the pallet forks I purchased from my dealer to pickup a non-running atv that weighs 591 lbs. so I could place it on the back of a...

There's a "New Woods Loader for Kubota L3240 and L3540 Tractor" advertised on ebay - located in Charleston, SC. Might be a good deal for somebody.

I'm in the market for a new tractor. These are the 2 I'm looking at L3540 w724 and NH3040 w/250TL. Am I comparing apples to apples here in respect to the dimensions and capability of these 2 machines baring the extras? Here are the prices I've got so far [mid-atlantic area]. #1- NEW L3540...

I just sold my L3130 DT 4WD to move into a tractor with the cab. Tired of freezing in the winter and let's face it, why not? I think the power in my L3130 was been adequate for my snow pushing, dirt moving, etc. but that's only because I haven't owned anything more powerful and don't know any...

I finally got my new FEL forks welded, primed and painted. I purchased the quick attach plate from ebay and then had a friend who owns a welding shop put together the cross members and the brick guard. I then cleaned it all up and gave it 2 coats of primer and 2 coats of Kubota orange paint...

Hey folks, first post here. Thought I would share a bit about my 6 month journey to buy a new tractor - just in time for Christmas. This will actually be my 2nd tractor. My first tractor was an old (1960's model) Ford 4000 with a front end loader that I owned between 1991 and 1993. The...

I was again impressed with my 3540 and LA724 loader today when I ordered 40 sheets of 4' x 8' OSB for sheeting my garage. Not really sitting down to calculate what that might weight I assumed it to be in the 1000 lb range. This morning the truck showed up with the stack banded together. The...

I was looking over my tractor and noticed a grease fitting on the front axle support where the front driveshaft passed through to get to the front axle ('Rear' front axle support). This is on the opposite side of the front axle support with the grease 'breather' fitting that is to be removed...

I have a Kubota L3540 and i have purchased a Kubota Bh90 backhoe. I need to connect the two so i need the subframe and hoses. I spent a whole week going to every dealer in west Michigan and they do not know JAck!!!!!idiots comes to mind! Every dealer tells me I need something diffrent...

I was looking at either one. But I've read so much about the small B series, I'm wondering if I am getting too much tractor. I'm not in a rush to get things done, but I don't want to be disappointed with having to upgrade at some point down the road. I'm assuming a bigger tractor might retain...

Has anyone here bought the new Kubota Grand L3540? Like it? Who here purchased the L3400? Do you wish you took the step up? Thanks!

Does anyone know what the correct kit number or numbers are for the rear remote kit to add one rear remote to a Grand L3540 without a cab? I'm getting a couple of different quotes on the kits and they are varying greatly. I want to make sure I'm ordering the correct kit.

I'm considering an L3540 or an L3940 for food plot work including plowing with a 2 bottom 12" plow, discing , spreading and seeding. I'd like some input from folks on the machines I'm considering. Thanks!

First post - long time reader - finally remembered my password! L3540/Cab is new - dealer received inJan 2007 or June 2007 ; not sure Has 0.9 hours Price including LA724 FEL with heavy duty bucket is 27K. Is this a fair price? Should I wait for new tractor? Not sure when dealer will get new...

Looking to upgrade to a GL3540 tractor with turf tires; LA724 loader with 72" QA bucket and 72" mmm for $25,000 out the door. First does this sound like a good quote? Secondly can anyone enlighten me on turf tires for minimal loader work and maintaining a 300' gravel driveway with snow, etc...

Anybody come down to these two tractors before deciding what to buy? If so, which one did you buy and why? I'm looking to upgrade from my 1995 JD 870. I like the smaller frame size but would like a few more horsepower (and a new tractor!!!:)). Unsure if I'd go GST/PowerReverser (I prefer...

Well I'm working my way down the colors. I decided the JD of choice was the the 3520 w/cab 300cx loader with HST. Now I've moved on to comparing the Kubota. I just got home from the dealership, after hours, and really like the L3540. Can anyone give me their opinons on this tractor? Anyone...

Performed 50 hr oil change and when I started it up the "service inspect" came up on display. Called dealer to ask how to clear it. The dealer said hold down the display mode and travel speed button at the same time with the key on. Everything ok now. Must have been low oil level sensor or...

I'm planning on purchasing either a L3240/L3540 mostly for landscaping and snowblowing. I only have 2.5 acres but I believe I'll be buying a bigger place someday. Landscaping will be mostly digging out tree stumps and spreading topsoil, gravel etc. The soil around here is called Manitoba Gumbo...

the title says it all-I'm planning on building a shed and would like to be able to easily park a tractor inside. The tractor has foldable rops which had to be shortened by 3-4" in order to fit into the existing prebuilt garage, but would like to plan for a larger tractor to fit with ease. Has...

I am looking at a Grand L3540 cab model with air heat and CD, it is hydro has all the lights LA724 loader and 40 hrs. What should I be paying for it, it is private sale.

I'm looking for some quick advise from anyone that has had their speakers out of their Kubota cab tractor. My problem is that I removed the speaker grills by removing the screws and found that the screw was actually a bolt with a small nut that fell off when I turned out the screw. The nuts...

Not really sure and haven't tried much yet but how exactly does the auto throttle work. Seems like when I engage the auto lock, the hst pedal gets stiff. Do I need to engage or do something else? Thanks in advance.:confused:

Looking for list prices on L3540HST tractor, LA514 loader, std bucket, R4 tires. The Kubota pricing site was closed before I could get it from there. I'd also be interested in any sell prices you guys may have on this or a similar package. I'd like to get my tractor purchase wrapped up soon so I...

I知 new to this site and am really glad I found it. I知 in a quandary right now and am looking for some of the expert advice I致e seen so much of. I am about to purchase a new tractor and considering the Farmtrac 360DTC or the Kubota L3540. I know it痴 not quite apples to apples, but this is where...

Looking to replace a NHTC33Da that I lost in an auto accident. I'm between a kubota L3540 and the JD 3520. I'm trying to match the NH I had but want a little more power and more weight. Looking at the specs both the Kubota and JD seem fairly equal. I'll also be buying a FEL and a BH. The Kubota...
