Just purchased my first Kubota B3200HSD that came with a belly mower, rotary cutter and front end loader.
So far I'm very happy with it. Looking forward to reading the forums and finding out how others have customized their B3200 to make it work better for them.
Here's a trick I learned right away for those of you having trouble getting your quick disconnect hydraulic fittings on and off. All but one of mine came off with a snap, but when I went to put them back on two of them would not connect together and I almost went and bought two new female fittings.
Instead, I used a towel and some WD40 (wrapped around the fitting to catch any excess WD40). First I flushed the outer area of any debris, you can use other brands of lubricant just don't use the foaming kind, then I sprayed a good amount into the female coupler to flush any debris out and then doused the male fitting it slides onto. Once I did that all four of the female couplers snapped quickly back onto the male couplers without any trouble. WD40 and Kubota, lovem'!.
Cheers, Mark
