I have a 2018 kubota L3901 that has lost power to the fuel pump. Does anyone kbow where the fuel pump gets its power from. Tractor wont start

I have a Kubota L 3901 with a little over 900 hours. I noticed an oil puddle on the shop floor after warming up the tractor. The oil was I believe Transmission/ Hydraulic oil. I shut it down immediately. Temperature was below freezing in the garage. The oil was to clean to be engine Oil. The dip...

Hello Friends, I have acquired a new to me L3901 that's already proved its worth with just the FEL. My friend as I've discussed previously has just finished constructing a house and now needs help with the finishing dirtwork. The ground is clay with rocks (specifically shale) To get to the...

So sometimes when snowblowing, I forget about that switch under the seat, and stand up or shift my weight enough to cause the PTO safety switch under the seat to kill the tractor. But here's the weird part, after doing so- it can be difficult to get the tractor restarted. I don't think it's...

My neighbor has an L3901 and it's bigger than my B2650 no doubt. When I was attempting to look up the specs on it from TractorData.com, it shows my 2650 has a greater rear lift capacity. I'm hesitant to believe that. Anyone able to confirm? B2650 link L3901 link It says the B2650 is capable...

Our tractor has 50 hours on it. My husband (!) was mowing a bumpy rough patch that I mowed last year and while he was mowing, the tractor stopped. The PTO was running fine as he was mowing and the tractor just stopped. Engine running fine, PTO running fine. No forward or backwards. We leave it...

Checking in to see if anyone has had a similar issue and/or can offer some guidance. Attempted to place the loader on my Kubota L3901 into the float position, but was unable to due to significant resistance with the joystick. Never has been an issue before. This happened when it was very cold...

After a ton of searches and questions (thanks again to all), I have finally pulled the trigger on a new-to-me Kubota L3901, 2015, 200 hrs, quick attach FEL and bucket. Here’s definitely one thing I’ve learned- if you’re in the market for a 30-40 hp tractor in central KY, and you find one, you...

The new one, after 200+ hours is: Way louder, likelike hearing protection is totally necessary with this thing, and Weaker, which is really strange to me I like it, but only ever owned Kubota, so really don’t know.

What would be a good alternative to a Kubota L3901, but from another company? Ty

Decided to add a set of wheel weights to my 3901, there wasn't much online that I found explaining how to do it. I found that 5/8 carriage bolts fit the holes in my rims just right. Mind you I have R1 from the factory. Next came a washer and single nut tightened as much as possible. The...

This is kinda long ... I am in the market for a compact. Since the market is as it is, I have not bought yet. Not only is the pickins' slim, the price asking is not practical, and it is non-negotiable too. So I rent for maintenance on my property (15ac) from our locally owned equip store...

My new L3901 was delivered Wednesday, ordered it with HST, loader, third function and grapple. I opted to install third function myself, grapple is not in stock, 4-6 weeks out. With the grapple on order, I wanted better grill/radiator protection. I decided to incorporate a LED light bar into my...

I have a 2015 Kubota L3901 HST 4WD. The model number is L3901D56787. The alternator is nor functioning. I went to local and on-line dealers and the price tag for it is around $300. I went on-line and no-brand similar one is around $100. I am asking if anyone has bought one on-line? Please...

I bought it last year (gear drive model) in June. It has 131 hours on it. FEL with canopy and bucket level indicator. After buying it I quickly realized it was too small for the task at hand. I needed a much larger tractor, with a cab that would pull a 12 foot bat wing. I have bought a new...

I have a Kubota L3901 with 136 hrs. It has become sluggish in 2nd gear and will not climb a hill. I changed the fuel filter, emptied the separator and cleaned, turned valve on to separator and getting good flow. The hydraulic oil is clear. Other than cleaning the elbow at the fuel filter any...

On the HST dipstick on my 2018 L3901, how much oil is required to go from the bottom mark on the dipstick to the full line?

Brand new member here in Upstate NY with a brand new L3901! I expected it be fun, but never expected as much fun as I have been having. I have put 15 hours on it, mostly cutting a field and working on the gravel road. Unfortunately, I hit a big rock with the rotary cutter and put several thumb...

I was doing some brush cutting this past week and after about 30 minutes my tractor powered down and died. When I would try to restart it, it would turn over very slowly. After letting it sit for about an hour or so, it would start back up. I could cut for another 30 mins and then it would...

I have several hydrostatic machines and I'm fully familiar with how hydrostatic machines work. I bought an L3901 a couple year ago and haven't used it too much (because, as noted, I have other machines). However, this year, I got the tractor out and it was time to see what it would do. Which...

This is DocTrac, new to the forum, checked this out and so much awesome info! About to pull the trigger on a compact tractor ... Here's the situation: just received pricing for both Kubota L3901 HST and Kioti 4010SE HST compact tractors. Attachments and implements: tractor, 3rd function...

Have had my 2016 L3901 TLB for about a year and a half. It痴 currently got 250hrs. It has been a good machine. However, we are currently building a house and have around 10 acres. In the past, I have rented mini excavators to do tasks (stump removal, pond digging, clearing...) but now am at the...

As per usual, I have no problem taking things apart- putting them back together again is the issue. :melodramatic: Was chasing a coolant leak on my 14 hour old L3901 today (another rant altogether), so for better access- I removed the hood. Pretty straight forward, pop the pin out of the top...

My L3901 recently succumbed to a fire (more details after insurance claim is resolved) and I'm replacing it with an MX5400. I've been doing a lot of reading about the MX series and I'm stoked to bring the larger, much more capable machine home soon. The L3901 was a great tractor, though I have...

Need some backward facing work lights on my new tractor for this winter. Will probably just run a separate wiring harness and switch direct from the battery, but curious if others have found viable options to wire LED work lights into the factory harness without splicing anything. Would be...

cant seem to find one anywhere. Does one of those universal ones work? or Is there a specific Kubota Kit available. Where did you guys get yours???

Recently purchased another Kubota, a L3901. Has loaded tires, LA525, BH77 Backhoe. Any guess what weight might be? Have trailer that will handle 5000 lb load. Haven't put on trailer yet and need to move from NH to MA to work a job that BX23S won't handle. Any help greatly appreciated. Dealer...

Towing ? when towing a L3901 with BH-77 where do folk put their chains on Backhoe ? running front ones through FEL tube Thanks

I'm at 50 hrs on the new rig and it's servicing time. (L3901 geared) It doesn't look like a lot needs to be done. Let's see it I have this correct from the manual. Clutch adjust Engine oil / filter grease fittings then, just a few other things to check. I don't see work for hydro or tranny...

I’m looking at a used 4x4 L3901 gear shift tractor with less than 100 hours on it. My questions: how do you like the gear shift compact? Regret not getting HST? I’m not familiar with Kubota gear shift tractors, is it like a normal gear shift or like a shuttle shift? What would be a good...

When the LX3310 and L3901 open station tractors come with the BH77 , the LX3310 uses the operator's swivel seat and the L3901 has its separate seat, correct? thank you......

almost topped off my fuel tank the other week maybe 2" from the top and few hours later I noticed diesel on the floor board and on right side of engine compartment first time I filled tank this full. 25hrs on it . any suggestions ?

What am I missing here not my first tractor ?? Just got a new 3901 and had the slider bars put on 3 point, the bars are on outside of the arms so when I spread them they hit the R4 tires.. They do not spread wide enough for my box blade and some other attachment pins...this makes for alot of...

Bought new 3901 in April. Did the whole purchase over the phone. I was pricing a 2020 model. When the dealer delivered it was a 2019 MY. I did not notice until he was gone. You guys know of any difference in the model years ? Dealer says no difference. Wondering if I should get Kubota involved...

I have a Kubota L3901 with about 100 hours on it. It sits for a week or 2 between uses. Always starts right up. Lately, I have been having a battery issue. After mowing for a couple hours, it won't restart (standard dead/low battery noises when key is turned) and has to be jumped. Last week, it...

I'd like to get some pallet forks for my Kubota L3901. I don't have a specific purpose for them, I would just like to have them for things that pop up. We have a small hobby size tree farm and are getting a couple of cows. I'm no expert so I'm looking for recommendations - Length of forks for...

I'm about to pull the trigger on a 3901 over the 2501 and 3301 for 2 reasons - the added HP and Live PTO with the geared, 4WD model. I'm still researching the site for more info. I was wondering it the shuttle shift feature I have been reading about is available on the 3901.

My Kubota L3901 has been in the shop for almost 8 months now. It was turned in under warranty, and has stayed in shop ever since, was told they got it working yet after it ran for about an hour it wouldn稚 start back up until it cooled down. Long story short I asked dealer to trade or buy me...

Got a quote for both tractors with packages. 5 brush hog and box blade with the 3901 and 6 implements with the 4701. Exactly $5k difference between the tractors. Kubota and Deere and everyone are doing 0% right now because of Covid so I figured good time to buy. I have 20 acres. Gravel...

My new used L3901 was delivered, love the tractor however it is so wet here, especially behind the house where we had a septic installed, I got it stuck the first day trying to get it put away, I wish it had R1 tires, these R4s have hardly any traction in muddy areas, I will get more pics...

I'm buying a tractor. First, let me say that my primary uses for my tractor are probably covered. The L3901 should be entirely adequate to the primary tasks. That said, I have a few secondary wish list items and concerns: Stability: Big concern for me, perhaps because I'm just a big chicken...

Any Canadian L3901 buyers out there? I've received a couple of quotes from two different dealers for an L3901 HST with ag tires and quick attach LA525 loader and both quotes are right around $31,500 CAD before tax. This seemed high to me, but maybe I'm just used to seeing USD prices on this...

I received my tractor late Friday and finally got to play around for a couple of hours yesterday. The left side of my house has a bank that was draining water and holding it like a pond. It was still muddy from all the rain we got on Friday and I知 surprised the tractor would pull my scraper...

I have an L3901 and don't like the water separator. To remove the water, I have to remove the bowl and poor the contents into something. On all my other machines, there's a valve on the bottom of the bowl. It's simple and quick to open the valve and drain the water. Is anyone aware of an...

Hi guys. New to the forum here.This is my first post ,but I've done a lot of reading on a lot of the current posts and have found things very helpful. I'm a newbie to the tractor market, but through the research I've done on here and visiting local dealers, I think I have my choices narrowed...

A while back I added an auxiliary fuse panel to my Kubota L3901 because I was running out of capacity using the work light connection, which is fused at 10 amps. With the amount of LED lights I had on the ROPS plus a fan during the summer months, I need room to grow. Here's a few pics of the...

My gut says Kubota because of their popularity and good reputation. I never see nearly as much about the NH/LS. But, the specs and price are better on the NH. Heavier, more lift capacity. However, 3pt lift seems to favor the Kubota. Havent looked at the Boomers yet but that might be an option too.

In the coming year, or so, I am planning on upgrading from my BX to a much bigger machine. I haven't been to any dealers (other than my local Kubota dealer network to get parts, where I occasionally sight see, but ask no questions). I am very pleased with my current Kubota, and Kubota's parts...

Hello TBN-ers, I currently have a 1985 John Deere 1050 37hp 4x4 with FEL. Tractor has served me well for the last 10+ years but as it gets older I started looking for an upgrade. Tractor will be mostly used for mowing (60" brush hog and 72"finish mower), food plot tilling (60" tiller), grading...

Hello, This is my first post. And this would be my first ever tractor purchase. I am hoping to get some advice on my selection. I've read threads like this before, and responders often ask for more detail on proposed use. So, I'll try to be descriptive, at the risk of being verbose 8^) We...

I installed 2 rear OEM remotes on my L2501. I thought it might be helpful to create a video of the setup. Kubota L2501 L3301 L3901 Rear OEM Hydraulic Installation - YouTube

had my second regen at 25hrs yesterday,the regen light started flashing then the rpm light flashed,i raised the rpms to about 2100 and the rpm light went out and the regen light stopped flashing...after a few seconds the regen light stated to flash again but the rpm light did not come on,i...

One of the jobs I want my tractor to do is pull a 5,000 lbs (29 Foot) travel trailer into the woods to our camp site in the spring/early summer, and then back out in the fall. Slight grade to the property, but no big dips or slopes. Everyone seems to say that the L3901 is better sized for that...

Just picked up a used 2015 L3901 with 10 hrs on it. :dance1: (There is a story.) Three questions: 1. During my first 6 hours of use I noticed the transmission would make a louder and more harsh whining noise when backing up. This is above the normal HST sound when moving forward. I...

After much reading, rereading and procrastinating, I'm getting close to purchasing my first tractor. Looking at the L3901 or the L4701. One of my last questions (Ha Ha) before purchase is if anyone here is running a Ditch/Bank Flail Mower on either of those models? I'm concerned about PTO...

Hello everyone. Although these two tractors are in a different class from one another, I thought I would start a thread and give people a chance to ask questions of the good and bad from my perspective. Things like treadle vs the two peddle debate, plastic vs metal hoods, loader valve...

Hey guys i have an opportunity to buy a bh77 backhoe attachment from 2011, i know i will have to buy the subframe kit for the tractor side but will a bh77 from 2011 work fine with a subframe kit for a 2017 L3901,, does any know if they have changed much over that amount of time, also will the...

Advice Please. I have to ask. How is getting in and out of the L3901? My wife and I found it really awkward getting in and out of the gear drive L3901. Is that something we'll get used too or am I going to feel like I'm going to fall every time. We found it much easier to get in and out of...

Started an earlier thread about prices and here is a L3901 quote a relative just received... At 40k I asked them to send it to me... I figured it is at least 10k too high and it turns out the math doesn't add up. $2100 Freight and Delivery on a 270 hour machine also sounds strange. But...

I've been looking at L3301 vs L3901. Dealer is giving me a ~$2500 difference between the models. As far as I can tell from specs and driving them both on the lot, the only difference at all between the two machines is ECU tuning. I even pulled up the parts diagrams for both machines for the...

This got no traction over on Orangetractor talks...appreciate any ideas. I was doing my 100 hour service and went to start the tractor and it would not start....the dash showed "Open" (I think). Anyway after messing around I happened to jiggle the PTO lever which was already in the Off position...

Just purchased a Kubota L3901 and I want to add rear remotes. The dealer quoted me $1300 to install 2 sets. Any ideas what it would cost to do on my own? How difficult a process is it?

I was originally trying to decide between a JD 3032 and a Massey 1734, even created a thread on here asking for opinions of the two. Then, I drove a Kubota L3901 and realized that neither the JD or Massey are in the same class. I really liked the Kubota but have been reading on here about the...

What's up guys, So, I'm in the market for a new or lightly used Kubota B2650, B3350, or L3xxx series. I really had my mind set on the L3901 because of the workload I'm going to be putting on the tractor (heavier tractor more durability, more traction, more power etc.), but I noticed that...

just upgraded from mf gc2310 that we had a brush hog and tiller for. can we use these on the larger hp tractor for now? really only need to till about 10 more acres, then we値l get a harrow for the future, only need to brush hog one more time this year too. thanks in advance

I currently have a 2010 B3300SUHST with the attachments shown in my sig. I'm thinking about upgrading to an L3901 HST. The L3901 is the largest that the BH77 can be used on and I really don't want to have to buy a new BH too. I would get the 3901 FEL with the 2 lever (skidsteer) quick attach and...

I just wanted to ask if anyone has ever tried out one of these on their ROPS system, or if it will accurately fit the bar would be the next question ? 300 instead of the Kubota cover for what it is Iam going to be doing, I wont need extra heavy duty or rain protection, because I don't go out in...

Looking for just some ball park numbers for a new L3901HST, 4x4 with quick attach bucket, and industrial tires, pretty standard, just curious haven't reached out to any dealers, I'm in upstate NY, thanks

Have different thread in Kubota forum since was really leaning toward either L3901 or L4701 to upgrade my little LS. In general, loader performance, especially dump clearance, is extremely high on my priority list. Otherwise, HST, SSQA bucket, ind tires are important. Everything else is...

I致e heard that the only difference between the 2 models to get 5he extra 6hp is the way the fuel is delivered to the engine. Is this a tuning mod or injectors and intake type of mod?

Hello. I am planning on upgrading from my B 2620, primarily to have more PTO power, more weight, and more ground clearance-doing some different work than when I bought the 2620 9 years ago. I am considering these 2 tractors, as well as a L 3560. I got quotes on the 3901 (32PTO hp) and the 3560...

Hi all. Brand new here. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. We're about to close on a Farmhouse in Huntington, Vermont with 5 acres on the side of a hill. We plan to operate a small farm with: sheep, a horse, vegetable crops, and chickens. The property is half wooded with terraced...

What's the lift capacity of a L3901 w/ LA525 FEL?

Hello!!! This is my first post here so please forgive me if it isn稚 up to par, I値l try my best. I am going to pull the trigger this year and buy my first tractor leaning real hard on going with kubota since there are two dealers some what close to me. Branson isn稚 out of the picture yet because...

Can anyone advise on the street pricing of the L3901HST? I'm moving to another state soon so I'm contacting dealers there but none will give me pricing over the phone or via email. Just trying to get a ballpark on what they're going for right now.

Pretty much have it narrowed down to these two tractors. I've test driven a couple of them but I'm just not sure if the difference in size & price is justifiable. What options are there for the two tractors & their respective FELs? I know there's a quick connect FEL which is not recommended...

Can anyone tell me if this price is in line? Here's the spec: L3901 HST 4WD + Loader w/66" bucket + SSQA + BH77 QA hoe w/12" bucket= $28,990 Q: is +/-$29k in line, rich, cheap? NOTES: --MSRP (Kubota website, including thumb and forks) = $36,500 vs $30,000 dealer quote for same. So, dealer...

Well guys need some help I have a grand L3830 2005 with front loader 4x4 has 1100hrs I love this tractor only had it for like 4yrs my thoughts were when I bought it was to purchase a backhoe for it sometime in the future. But after reading every ones thoughts on 3pt backhoes I switched to...

Just got my L3901 delivered, not more that 30 minutes ago. Heading out to play. What to do first? Decisions, decisions.

Have owned a few very old tractors for hobby and doing basic food plot stuff in the past. I bought 100 acres in Georgia that is somewhat hilly. This is my first new purchase of a tractor and I am in "New tractor purchase paralysis" Both dealers are 30 miles away. Honestly, Kubota dealer so far...

So right now I have a 2015 kubota L3901DT and love the tractor overall but clutching while trying to do loader and PTO work is a pain in the rear. I originally bought the DT gear drive because at the time I had a bad hip which made it extremely uncomfortable to use the treadle peddle on the HST...

hi folks..gravelman here...i have a friend looking at a Kubota L3901 HST It is only a couple years old.. very low hours. does anyone out there have one?? if so, all advice, opinions very much welcomed. Also described as "electronic throttle" I believe that is when it throttles up...

I just pulled the trigger on a brand new Kubota L3901 last night. The demand in these parts is pretty high so it looks like about a week or so wait before delivery. It's my first tractor so I am very excited. Thanks to all that helped with your experience and good advice.

Hey everyone, my 2015 L3901 is right about at 350 hours and I'm sure with all the side jobs I have planned along with work around my house that I'll be up to the 400 hour service by the end of summer or mid fall at very least. One question I have though, from looking through my kubota manual it...

Did the search thing,not a lot there. Are stump buckets a good implement for anL 3901 with SSQA FEL ? Looking for input on what those with experience have to say about pros/cons of buckets/spades for a compact tractor for residential work. Looked at several brands,don't know which is best ,$ not...

Hello, I am buying my first tractor, to maintain my property in TX. It is about 15 acres, and needs work, like brush clearing, evening out the land, planting some grass, and moving debris like logs, branches, etc. I am looking for about a ~40 HP (front) tractor, and have checked out some...

I'm being sorely tempted by an L3901, orchard return tractor; it's got 50hrs on it, and the warrantee hasn't started. Their initial quote shows: $23,900 L3901 HST 4wd tractor w/ quick-attach loader (66") $8,000 BH77 $1,250 Post hole digger w/ 9" auger $1,000 3rd function $2,000 Top & tilt All...

I'm still contemplating what tractor to get for my 15 acres up in Vermont. Still considering the L3901 since it's a lot less $, but thinking about the advise I got here to suck it up and jump up to the L4701 I also looked at - more weight, HP, larger frame, etc. I was surprised the quotes I...

I have a Kubota L3901 w/FEL & BH77 factory back hoe and am looking for a narror bucket for ditching. Currently have a 16" bucket. Does anyone know if a bucket, Kubota or aftermarket, is made and where I might locate it?Kubota says a 10" width bucket is the smallest they offer. Location is...

So I've been wanting to put arm rests on the seat of my L3901 like what the newer B2601 tractors have on their seats. Then I just happened to notice the b2601 appears to have a much nicer seat altogether. So my thought is, does anyone know if the seats are interchangeable between the two models...

Hi folks, Looking at a Woods 7500-1 backhoe as a possible attachment to my Kubota L3901 HST 4WD tractor. The owner of the backhoe is including a Woods 9269 Subframe Kit; on the picture of the front page of the manual, it says: "For Mounting BH6500/BH7500 Backhoe to Kubota L2900, L3300, L3600...

Hey Folks, My Kubota L3901 HST is having a problem. I bought it new from the dealer this summer (only 20 hours on the odometer so far) and got the KTAC insurance, so I guess I should just contact the dealer and let him take care of the issue... but hey, if it's a minor adjustment I can do...

I'm sure I am simply overlooking this in a brochure, but what is the weight of a L3901 w/ a 525 loader? The tractor alone weighs around 2600lbs. (?) But what is the added weight of the loader?

I added some lights to my tractor. I have the factory rear light kit so I spliced into that with a nifty wire connector to power them. I kept it simple and didn't use a relay or anything, just a swich that i still need a box for. I used 27w spotlight LEDs and used magnets from AMazon to...

Hey fellas, going to buy my first tractor next year. I've keyed in on the following models as possibilities... B3350 L3901 L4701 L4060 L3560 Land is 30 or so acres in northeast PA, sloped, of which around 1.5 is cleared. My usage: - wood hauling, wood skidding. Home heated by wood. - snow...

Since I didn't take EVERYONE's advice here and buy enough tractor to begin with, I'm now back in the market. I'm cleaning up my JD955 and putting it up and I'm looking at a 3901 or 4701 Kubota. In the end, I want the 4701 and based on my 955 work over the last couple of year, should be more...

I have made up my mind to purchase a three pt blower for my L3901. Can you suggest a model or at least a working width that would match up well with my machine? Thanks in advance. C. Skeele

Hey everyone, I just added a QH15 quick hitch to my L3901 and like I've read, it gets super close and will even hit the tail lights depending on how my top link is adjusted. I've dropped the side links to their lowest hole but the handles on the quick hitch still get super close if I have the...

I rolled over 50 hours today and I'm really satisfied with this tractor. I've already done a lot of the cleaning up of my property, granted there was only about 2.5 acres that needed cleaned up. The DPF hasn't caused me any concern. So far it's needed to regen three times is all. I didn't...

I just turned 50 hours on my 2015 L3901. From about 45 hours until now there is a distinct whining noise right around 1800 rpm. When you get past that point it goes away. All fluids are where they need to be and it wasn't running hot or anything. Anyone else have a similar issue or have any...

Does anyone have a recommendation for a lighting kit for a Kubota L3901. I will be running a reverse 3 pt. snow blower and want some better illumination in the back... as well as the front. What do you all run? Chris

Hello guys need some help I own a Kubota L3830 but been looking for a backhoe for it for about a year now found some small 3pt ones with no sub frame and a brand new Kubota one is like 12,000 bucks so I love my L3830 it has everything FEL 927hrs 4x4 heavy duty Loader ect. But a backhoe found a...

I have a Massey 1428v and I recently broke a weld point that holds the front axle in place. Breaking the weld was completely my fault. I bought the Massey in 2004 and it's been a fantastic tractor. It's not had any mechanical issues over the 12 years I've had it. It still has the original...

Howdy all! I've never owned anything painted orange, but my local JD Dealer (with whom I've done A LOT of business) is offering a pittance for my trade. Kubota is offering closer to market rate. So, I started to JD to pick up a 3039R, and found myself at Kubota kicking tires on an L3901...

I believe I will be removing my FEL loader when I finish mow (wide open 2 acre lawn). Today I practiced (several times) removing it.... Im quite good at it now :). Each time I disconnected the four hoses I noticed a minute amount of fluid escaped.... My 1st question?: Will frequently...

Had a great day with my L3901.... mechanically removed many invasive rose spirea growths on my land.... straightened out some old tractor ruts, etc..... I notice that my two front tires tend to camber inward... is this normal? My machine is 4 wheel drive. Chris

Hi all. I was surprised to see that in the implement limitation chart (L3901 owners manual) the highest max load for a three point implement is 770 lbs. I was hoping to be able to carry almost twice this weight on my 3pt hitch? Did tractor data steer me wrong in saying the L3901 can lift 1985...

Hi all. I just pulled the trigger on a new L3901. I'm wondering if I should have an additional front and rear remote installed. I'm getting a FEL installed at the dealership. Theoretically if I were to want operate a woodsplitter one day couldn't I unhook from the loader and hook to the...

Does anyone have a recommendation for an after market cab that could be put on an L3901. Here is my dilemma. I didn't want an enclosed workstation because of the extra cost involved as well as the terrain I will find myself on 90% of the time. With that said...in the winter I plan on using...

Hi all. Wow! What a group of users here. Im new. I'm pretty active on the QDMA Forums and have been directed here. Just quickly looking the site over I can see why! Wealth of information. Im from Pompey NY (Syracuse). Go Orange! Speaking of Orange... I'm very close to pulling the...

We've been researching and thinking for a long time, and it's time for a final decision. Unfortunately, we're stuck! Any suggestions? This will be our first tractor. We have an intensive vegetable farm, currently 2.5 acres in production and eventually getting as big as 5, which will include...

New owner of Kubota L3901. Tractor only has 20 hours now, it is not the hst version. It seems I can't do much of anything on the high side of the transmission. Even in first gear if you put any amount of pressure on it(pushing snow up a hill) the clutch will squeal. I would not think this is...

I am wondering how substantial the real-world difference is between these two tractors assuming HST and 4WD. I know that the L4701 has a different engine with another cylinder, but I am wondering how much of a difference that makes in terms of what the tractor can actually do. Thanks, Steve

So I thought I would share some info that may be helpful to others cause that's what we do here :thumbsup: Bought my L3901 in in the spring and have been very impressed with it. The only thing that I found troublesome was that it felt "tippy" :eek:on slopes whereas my older L2250 never really...

I've had my 2015 kubota L3901 since the end of September and I've done a lot with the stock QA 66 inch bucket but I'm wondering if anyone has ever put a larger bucket on one of these tractors. I'm considering buying QA 66 skid steer style bucket that's long and low for being able to move more...

Does anyone know if the Light kits from Bxpanded.com will work with the light harness on an L3901? I'm Looking for a good work light kit to add to my tractor and saw this. I'd prefer LEDs over halogen but mainly just want a plug and play type work light setup to make night plowing easier...

I've never owned a Kubota but have been looking at the L3301 and the L3901 lately. This won't be my main tractor but it will be used for some loader work and odd jobs around the farm, some work in the woods, etc. 30ish hp would fit the bill perfectly for the tasks I have planned for it and I've...

I have seen many detailed reviews about all sorts of products covering everything from A -Z. This is not going to be one of those lol. I have had my L3901 HST with loader, Land Pride 1860 Rotary Cutter, and Box Scraper. I have only put 40 hours on the clock so far. Between work, family, and...

I think I am all set to purchase a kubota l3901 only have 6.5 acres but will use it for my business as well. I need a tractor with some hp to clear the woods behind my house and a dealer that is close enough of something breaks so I think I settled on the kubota over the NH and Mahindra. One...

So this is probably one of those dumb questions, but then again this why this site is so great.:thumbsup: I decided I wanted to add the bucket level indicator to my new Kubota L3901 as I thought it might come in handy. So I put it on the other day without any issues,other than realizing Kubota...

Hi guys, new to the forum here, this is my first post but I've done a lot of reading on a lot of the current posts and have found things very helpful! I'm a newbie to the tractor market but through the research I've done on here and visiting local dealers I think I have my choices narrowed down...

Looking for some help from all the knowledgeable people here. I currently work as a Liftboat captain in the GOM and work is getting slow at best. people getting laid off all the time and pay getting cut. i need something to make up for some of the lost money! i purchased a 2015 Kubota L3901...

Which one is the better tractor L3901 or JD3030E? I am buying a new tractor that will mainly be used for mowing, moving some downed trees for firewood, and some trail / road management on 16 acres. It is mostly wooded, but I have 5 acres of rolling open land that is being turned back to pine...

I have seen so many issues with the B3350 that i have been considering a L3901 or L3301 the price seems to be close to one another. My trouble with the L models is they have no mid pto so i can't use a MMM but could just use a rear finish mower to over come that and the second problem is kubota...

Fist of all, I would like to thanks all of you who responded to my previous posting on what do I need. You can look at it here : http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/buying-pricing-comparisons/342999-need-experienced-user-advice.html Quick recap, I have 90 acres, 96% woods. I need a...

I used my new L3901 today mowing a small pasture. I have soot on the back of the tractor, on the RCR1872 Landpride mower, and the left tractor tire(looking from the front of the tractor). Any ideas where it might be coming from? My wife swears the mower is vibrating too much. I'm going to look...

I've got a L3901 and am considering the purchase of some wheel spacers. What does everyone use/recommend? 1", 1.5", 2", 3"? I'm going to be using it hauling firewood on uneven/hilly ground. Thanks.

Noticed something that may or may not be of concern in using the PTO on my brand new Kubota L3901, and looking for some feedback(especially from fellow L3901 owners). I have used both my chipper and brush hog with excellent performance overall when the PTO is running the implements. Here is...

I am a homeowner/hobby farmer looking for a tractor. I live on 12 acres and have a farm i hunt 30 miles from my home. I am looking for a tractor to put in food plots, clear trails, grade and push snow from my gravel driveway and brush hog about three acres. Ive been about ready to pull the...

So I made the first mod to my brand new L3901. I thought it would be a good idea to cover the deck with a mat to protect it as well as to reduce any potential slippage......plus I thought it would look better:cool: As they do not make any factory mats, I picked up a small stall mat at TSC and...

I am a new member of this site, and I'm in the market for a tractor. I have a rocky, hilly 2.5 acre field to care for (either brush hog a couple times a year or grade so I can use my zero turn up there too), 8 acres of woods to pull firewood out of, and a lot of old stone walls that have fallen...

Please join me in welcoming my new "Bundle of Joy"!!!:cool2: Much planning, research, discussion, and quite a bit of fun went into this decision and process. Although there was a great deal of anticipation in waiting for this day to finally get here, the labor was relatively painless and was...

It has been a difficult decision that I have wrestled with for the last several years, but I ultimately have decided to bid farewell to my 1985 Kubota L2250 :(. She has served me very well over that last 15 years ever since I bought it from the original owner. As it was my first tractor, I did...

Hello All, I am looking at buying a new L3901 since the L3800's are not easy to find in my area. I am nervous about the DPF and regen that I have read about in some posts. Can someone explain what the DPF and regen is all about?

So I purchased a brand new L3901 about a month and a half ago. I now have 25 hours on it and I've all ready been stuck more than a few times. All but once I've been able to un stuck myself using the loader, except for today that didn't work so I attempted to use my 4wd Silverado to pull out the...

Hey Everyone, I am still in the market for my L3901. Some ranchers in the area are stuck on gear shift vs HST. I drove the HST and loved it. Since this will be my first tractor, I want to make the best choice. The price difference is $1K less for the GST. Is it worth the savings? Right now 0%...

asked local dealer for 3901 equipped as follows: l3901 La 525 loader w qa bucket Pallet forks 4wd Loaded tires 2 link chains, square lug type Top and tilt- I guess it needs to be after market Quick hitch- land pride? 3 rear remotes Telescopic stabilzers Cruise asked them to separately price...

Hey everyone, I'm new here. I have a 5 acre ranch that I just purchased. Its in So Cal. Not much snow but when it rains I need to clean my roads. I also need to mow the weeds as they haven't been mowed in a while. I realize I will need a tractor for maintenance and other stuff around the...

debating upsizing to a bigger orange (dealer nearby and well regarded) tractor from b3030. Thinking of just going to to smaller l to retain access to some areas i ve that are congested I have read on some threads that hydraulic options on the basic tractors aren't as well done - i.e. location...

As far as I know the only difference between the L3301 and the L3901 is the tuning. I think it's actually software and every single part is the same. Am I right on that? If so, can you convert an L3301 to an L3901 and save a few thousand dollars?

I need a tractor for my property in South Texas and will also be using it for pasture shredding in my business. I've used and like Kubota in the past but new tractor prices are pretty high... My primary use will be pasture/brush shredding with a 6' cutter, but I also need to be able to do FEL...

I bit the bullet and bought my first tractor. I was a little intimidated at the whole Tier 4 emissions, but there were no more new 3800s in my area. I love the tractor so far. I have 15 hrs on it right now and no re-gen yet. I got it with the loader, Landpride 1860, and a Landpride 60" box...

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has purchased the new L3901. I知 looking to buy one or the other (3800 OR 3901). Local Tractor Place by the house has both, and would like some advice on the new L3901 from its owners. I know a bit about the emissions but not enough to brag about. I have also read...

I dropped in to my Kubota dealer today (they were closed, which makes it a perfect day to walk around and look). I noticed a new model tractor, the L3901. From what I found on Kubota Canada website, it's the replacement for the L3800. Roughly the same horsepower, the frame looks identical. The...
